.BRAWLEY TEAM
GETS WIN OVER
MACK AND MACK

The Macks rid themselves of
some bad baseball last night when
they dropped to 6 decision to
the Brawley All-Stars at Wilson
field.
Two rallies, ore for five runs in
the ninth, accounted for all the
Brawley scores. -Four of Brawleys
runs were unearned.
Frank Smith showed some of the
power that made him one of the
leagues most feared batters of last
season when he turned in two sim
giles and home run.
1t will be Yuma's turn to play
host to El Centre tonight. An ALL
Star mems team and a girls team
will make the trip to the Arizona
ely. The girls will begin their
game at o'clock Yuma time and
z o'clock Ell Ccntro time. The ALL
Star game probably will not begin
before $3.50 Ell Centro time. This
will give El Centro fans ample time
to reach Yuma before the game be-
gins.
Watson, Yuma pitching ace, tel
erhoned yesterday that he cancelled
his engagement with a northern
team and will pitch for Yuma to-
night. Fans who were anticipat-
ing another Hurst Watson duel will
not be disappointed
There will be no game at Wilson
field tonight but a unique en-
counter, Chan Livingston's Old
Timers versus Joe Hurst's young
sters, will be the attraction tomor-

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. %. The
baseball trade winds, only mild
zephyrs of recent years, may reach
gale force this winter when the fl
nancially embarrassed clubs start
unloading fancy-priced ivory, and
dissatisfied outfits begin tearing
down to build for the future.
The New York Giants and the
once naughty Philadelphia Athlet-
les are expected to rip things apart
from top to bottom. Bill Terry
had been behind John McGraw's
old desk only day when he made
it clear he planned to place an al
most completely new team on the
field in 1893. Those who profess to
know say that an outfielder and
pitcher are the only 1882 Giants
sure of their jobs.
If Terry does come through with
such a drastic shake-up, some pow-
erful expensive and capable ivory
will be sold to the highest bidder.
There have been all sorts of ru-
mors about what Connie Mack was
going to do with the Athletics.
Simmons was headed for the
Yanks, Earnshaw to Browns. Coch-
rane was going here, Walberg
there.
All the boys were headed some
where except Foxx and Grove. Al
though Mack has denied he plan
ned any such revision of his team,
it's a cinch the White Elephants
of 1888 will be different heard
from the bunch that failed to full
fill Comics dream of four straight
pennants.
Even the Yankees may be i'll
volved in the winter trading.
Though Colonel Rupert and his
organization don't lack for money,
they may refuse to renew Babe
Ruth's contract, which calls for
$75, 900 a year. With that money,
the Yankees could hire a couple
of ball players who would just
guarantee them the pennant.
Reds Lose Money
The Cincinnati Reds can hardly
be expected to start the 1888 seas
on with three such fancy-salaries
gentlemen as Herman, Hafey and
Douthit on the payroll. For the
Reds have lost plenty of money
this season. The team looked like
{. winner early In the year, bui
then came that slump and the
customers stayed away from Red
land field with reckless abandon.
The White Sox are sure to be
busy traders. Manager Fonseca
traded everything but Comiskey
park this. year. He'll probably
manage to swap that during the
winter in an effort to give the
Southside fans a winner Then
there's the Cubs. They'll make al
least one trade or sale, for they've
got Burleigh Grimes, and the coun.
try would go off the gold standard

CUBS-BROOKLYN
SERIES WILL Be
BITTERLY FOUGHT
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 90. Riding the
crest of a winning streak which
has hoisted them all the way from
the depths of second division to
second place, the Brooklyn Dodgers
came to town today to battle the
league-leading Chicago Cubs in a
crucial 3-game series which may
we'll decide the National League
race.
The series will open tomorrow
with the Cubs either 21a or 81
games ahead of the Dodgers, de-
pending on the outcome of todays
game between the Cubs and Phil
| lies.
The Cubs spectacular drive to
the league lead under their new
and immensely popular manager,
Charlie Grimm, has sent the inter-
est of Chicago baseball fans soar
ing to new high and more than
100000 persons are expected to
throng to Wrigley field for the
3-game series.
Aside from bringing together the
two leaders, the series will pit the
years two bitterest rivals against
each other. There has been bad
blood between the two teams all
year, which already has resulted in
one first fight when Mickey Finn
of Brooklyn and Bill Jurges of
Chicago tangled in Brooklyn. The
pitchers of both clubs have been
accused of using the bean balP' ex-
cessively in their previous games.
Cast-Offs To Play
Additional fuel is added to the
fire in the fact that three ex-Cubs,
Lefty O'Doul, Hack Wilson and
Danny Taylor are the three leading
Brooklyn hitters. Taylor started
the year with the Cubs, and was
sold to Brooklyn when Hornsby be-
came irritated at him for dropping
a fly ball. He has proved a star
since joining the Dodgers.
Although the Cubs have been hit
ting fast clip lately, they haven't
been travelling as fast as the Dodg-
ers. Since July "a Brooklyn has
won 90 out of 20 games. The Cubs
have won 13 out of their last 18
under Grimm's management, but
were skidding before that under
Hornsby.
The series promises to be the old
story of pitching against hitting,
with the Cubs carrying the defensive
strength and the Dodgers the
power. Brooklyn has the leagues
leading hitter, Lefty O'DouI, who
is batting 370, and Chicago has
the leagues leading pitcher, Lon
Warneke, who has won 18 games
and lost 5.
Woody English, Cubs third base
mali and captain. has a Sprained
thumb which may keep him out of
the first game, but he probably will
return to his poss for the last two
games.

HOOVER

Hoover is ahead of Roosevelt by a small margin in the first scatter ing returns of The Literary Digest's 2O,000,0OO ballot nation wide straw" presidential poll, which is said to be the largest unofficial ref- erendum of it's. kind ever con- ducted.
 Of the e0,327 ballots returned Hoover has 28,193 votes and Roosevelt "27,654, making per- centage of 46.73 of the total for the republican candidate as against 45.84 for the democratic leader. The other 7.43 per cent of the ball lots are cast for the five minor candidates with Norman Thomas leading these.
 Of the five states. reported in this initial return Hoover is shown leading in Indiana and New York. Roosevelt is ahead in Ohio, Penn sylyania and West Virginia.
 An analysis of "how the same voters voted in 1928" shows that Roosevelt is receiving 39.51 per cent of his strength in these first returns from those who voted re- publican four years ago while A per cent of his total balloting comes from the democratic voters in the last presidential. election.
 The same tabulation shows Hoover obtaining 81.03 per cent of his total votes from those who voted for him in 1928 with a gain of only 6.16 per cent from the democratic ranks.
 A startling local shift in party lines is indicated in the first re- turns from Pennsylvania, compris- ing 11,221 votes, which show that 46.44 per cent of the democratic vote in that state is coming from former republicans while Hoover there is capturing only 4.51 per cent of the democratic vote of four years ago. The minor candidates are getting their largest strength also, S.88 per cent of the states vote in Pennsylvania.
 Likewise, in New York, Roose- welt appears to be drawing heavily from the republican ranks, gaining 86.O9 per cent of his strength there from those who voted for his poll tical rival in 1928. whereas Hoover is shown to be getting less than 7 per cent of fel'mer democratic ad- herents. 81.06 per cent of those voting for him now, in New York' state they voted for him in 192S.
 In none of the five states report ed is Roosevelt shown obtaining less than 25 per cent or his strength from the republican col umns, while in none of these dees Hoover obtain more than per cent of his votes from democratic nartisans of four years ago.
 An interesting feature of the poll shows that IS per cent of the vot- CTS in this unofficial balloting did not cast a vote in 1928, which may he largely accounted for probably bv those arriving at their majority since the last election. :,
