Tribe Gets Early Lead.


THE Indians scored a single run in
i the first and second rounds and
doubled up in the third. There
after Cofman had them tanned until
the seventh.
The Nationals might have gone
places in the first only for Kamm
Squeezing Rice's line smash, for Myer
singled to left and Manush walked.
Cronin ended it by punching into
double play. Burnett opened Tor the
Indians with a drive over Rice's head
for a triple and cashed when Cronin
threw out Porter
The Nationals never had chance In
the second, while the Indians clicked
for another tally. Vosmik singled to
center and was forced by Morgan, who
went to third on Kamm's single to cen
ter and then, on a faxed double steal,
scored after Kamm had been retired,
Spencer to Myer, when Buddy threw
wild to third.
In the third a pass paved the way
to two runs for Cleveland. Ferrell
hiked and Burnett sacrificed him on.
Porter flied out, but Averill hammered
a double to right to count the big
pitcher and raced home himself on
Cissells two-sacker to left center.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
~LEVELAND, September IL
Wesley Ferrel cut loose
~ with a pitch that was low
and wide of the plate in
the fifth inning of today's game
at the Stadium between the
Indians and the Nationals. Two
men were on the retired list at the
time and Maple, batting for Spen-
Ger, swung with might and main
at the ball.
Had Luke Sewell been able to
snag the sphere the Nationals
might have been shut out. But
the pitch was too wild and shot
back toward the stand, Maple rae
ing to first.
His activity pave the way for a four
run rally and transformed what might
have been shutout for Felrell into a
5-to-4 result, the Indians winning in
the seventh on a pass, sacrifice and
Dick Porters single.
1t was Ferrells twenty-second victory
of the campaign and inasmuch as he is
charged with 13 defeats he has the
identical record with which he finished
the 1881 season.
He had to be good to beat Dick Coff-
man, once the latter's mates gave him
a look-in with their fifth-inning up
rising, thanks to a triple by Coffman,
a double by Rice and singles by Myer
and Manush followed by Averi'l's bad
throw. Each slabster allowed nine hits
and the issue was in doubt right up to
the finish

OTTAWA, Ontario, Aug. 10
ON.SO.-A final plenary session
called for tomorrow morning
will wind up the 1882 British
Imperial Economic Conference,
said official advices made public
today.
The session will review treaties
between the United Kingdom and
other countries of the British

Russian Pact Factor
Existing Russian agreements
with Great Britain, especially as
affecting lumber, held up both
the United Kingdom Canada pact
and the Australia United King
dom understanding until late
yesterday.
At a meeting of the Canadian
cabinet yesterday afternoon, the
final offer of the United King
dom with regard to lumber was
placed before his ministry by
Premier R. B. Bennett and
accepted.
BaldwinS Are Hosts
In the Chateau Laurier, head
quarters of the various delega-
tionS in Ottawa, Stanley Baldwin
and Mrs. Baldwin were hosts last
night at a dinner-dance-reception
to which all the delegates and
advisers attending the conference
were invited; but at midnight
the United Kingdom delegates
left the reception to hold meet
ing of their own at which the
drafts of the various agreements
made between Great Britain and
the empire States were con-
sidered.
While details of the agreements
made are being carefully guarded
as state secrets until they can
be presented to the various gov
ernmentS concerned, it is gen
orally accepted here that with
regard to lumber, the final
United Kingdom contract wi h
Canada will show large couces-
sions made by the British, by
comparison with their first offer,
which was confined almost en-
tirely to hard woods.

Will some one kindly ask Congress to in
form long-sufferins public just what il is
doing in Washington these hectic days. Per-
haps il is the effect of the rapidly-spproaeh-
ing national conventions that causes such
seethins emotions to vent themselves on the
congressional chamber. But where. oh
where. are we going from 1882. A tariff
Bill has just been passed that cannot hope
to secure President Hoover's signature. And
there is little chance of it being passed over
his veto. A tax measure is still in the max
ing in which tariff is included if ever there
was one. We're all at sea. We presume
a good many members of Congress are. too.
1t is practically impossible for any save
person trained in tariff and tax laws to un-
derstand much of what is going on down at
Washington. We have come to the con-
elusion. though. that the cry of Soak the
rich" has been changed to this one
Soak everybody. Judging by this we'd
say offhand that next November there will
be the greatest exhibition of ticket splitting
this nation has ever witnessed. Individual
candidates will have to stand on their own
merits this year. Party lines don't seem to
mean anything any more.
We personally think that the democratic
party has missed one of the most glorious
opportunities ever afforded political group.
There was everything to gain at this session
of Congress. And from where we stand
we'd say the democrats aren't much better
off today than the republicans. Party lead
ership evidently means nothing in the
House. II Speaker Garner hopes to increase
his prestige in a pre-eonvention flourish. he
has failed miserably. Of course. he prob
ably is doing as much as any man can. We
don't think anybody could stop the unor-
thodox stampede that is daily House oc-
currence now.
We merely wonder which party will be
able to piece together its shattefed remnants
when adjournment comes late this month
or early in June. The president might
have offered a form of salvation to his party
in this crisis. but he seems as bewildered by
the sudden turn Of events as the next man.
Perhaps he expected to find in the demo-
cratic ranks the sympathy and aid that were
denied him by his own party. 1t did look
as If he might get even that. but once taxes
and tariffs were banded around the, House
the Hoover cause was lost. Fortunately
for the democratic party the causes Of its
leading candidates for the presidency do not
depend upon the actions of Congress.

Changing Opportunities

A success book which was popular
dozen years ago informed its readers that
opportunities to become railroad magnates
or steel barons had practically reached the
vanishing point. but new opportunities had
taken their place. Two of these were spe-
eially named by the author Electric rail-
ways, he said, were in their infancy" and
great fortunes were to be made in that line.
Agriculture - particularly growing food
for human consumption was another
rich opportunity.
There is a good ehuekle at the present
moment in those two suggestions. The in
FAINT electric railways reached speedy ma
turity and have been either dying outright
or going into decline in recent years.
Farming too. has lost ground as a fortune
builder in the past decade. The author of
the book entirely overlooked the motor bus
and truck. though he did refer vaguely to
aviation. 1t should be remarked, however.
that the writer. though not very far-sighted
in the matter Of specific enterprises. was
right about the general principle that new
opportunities arise as old ones give out. That
was true in earlier generations, and is still
true today.

the signal for rush to be his first biogra-
pher. His life was so colorful and SO re.
plete with incidents that lend themselves to
the printed page that the writer's task is an
easy one. All the slamor of the West OF
the old days surrounded Drury. Born in
Illinois in 1851 he accompanied his father
and mother across the prairies when only one
year old. On the Oregon Trail they died
of cholera and the infant was adopted by
minister and brought up in Oregon and
Washington. His first newspaper job was
in Vancouver. He drfted eventually to
Nevada in the midst of the silver rush. On
his first day as reporter for the Gold
Hill News he covered fatal shooting. stage
coach wreck. and two fatalities in the silver
mines. Rather full days work for one
young and ambitious news writer And in
those days the news gatherers were compelled
to carry guns They even had to use them
on occasions. Drury could nick dimes
thrown into the air. so seldom was troubled
by complaints over his stories. He founded
numerous papers in his adventurous career.

Slightly In Error

When Mayor George "A. Quigley OF New

with laxity in acting upon the formers sug-
gestion that the interest rates on mortgages
be lowered during these hard times when
home owners are sorely pressed to keep their
property from being foreelosed he does SO
with an eye towards his political future. we
are afraid. Had the mayor cared to review
incidents of the last year he might have re-
called that on several. occasions Governor
Cross both called conferences and partie.
. pated in the same with leading bankers and
officials Of mortgage companies in Connee-
ticut
As result of the same interest rates on
mortgages were dropped slightly by num-
Der of institutions. This is common knowl-
edge and there was considerable printed
about the same in our state papers. As was
stated at the time, though, such actions must
be entirely voluntary and depend upon the
individual institution which holds the
mortgage. So far as we can see Governor
Cross did all that was humanity possible to
bring about better conditions for home own.
en. For Mayor Qugley to say deliberately
that He has idIieu III tSliS SIiSiS SeeH1S 10 uo
to be a Misrepresentation of the facts.
Speaking to the Seventh Ward Republican
Club of New Britain. he declared that
Many times the failure of party in gov
eminent or an individual in party politics
is directly due to their entirely selfish inter.
est in their political life. We must have un-
selfishness in political life. We have in the
past few weeks seen signs of the sefishness
Of the Democratic party in this and other
states. We must also weed out from poll
tics the eowardly politician and substitute
for him the man who is upright and acting
according to his best judgment for the bene-
4 fit Of all. -"
We hope that Mayor Quigley isn't aserib-
Ing to the party to which he belongs in this
state that modest attribute of unselfishness.
il anything has been more selfish in political
circles 1t has been the spread of republican
influence through every branch Of our state
government in the long years Of complete
republican rule. Il wasn't until Governor
Cross. man untouched by the stain Of
political contracts but well versed in the
rules OF the game overturned this domineer-
ing republican machine that any consider
alton to bipartisan representation in our
courts or commissions was given. For a
republican mayor TO try 70 ascribe selfish
motives to Governor Gross and his associates
