The subject Of pitching control happened to come up in meeting after we had remarked how Waite Hoyt crossed up the Athletics and himself in the fifth game of the lat worlds series by letting a curve slide into the slot for Pep per Martin, instead of keeping his fast ball working on the Car dina1 star.
 You hear a lot of talk about control" chimed in Burt Shot ton, the gray fox of the Phil lies, "but how many pitchers have you ever seen who can put that ball just where they want it?"
 Ray Caldwell or Jim Bagby could show you something in con- trol. They put the ball just where they wanted it IA times out of fifteen. A few others I have seen like Johnson, Wood and Grove, could over-power batJers by sheer speed, but they, too, are rare birds.
 Do you realize what it means when you talk about high, hard one, just inside or outside? That plate is only IT inches across Fi- gure what it means when you try to get that pitch within a space of four or five inches on either side, to make it tough for the batter and still make it strike
 Not one pitcher in a hundred can do that sort of thing con sistently"

Mr.. Baker charged President Hoover
and President Coolidge with having en-
couraged foreign loans and with hav-

retaliatory tariffs both of which, he
said, had been contributing factors to
the depression in this country.
He decried what he termed the bit

said he would not participate in it. He
also made light of the attempts which
he said Republicans made to arouse
fear OF what would happen If the
Democrats were elected"

NEW YORK, November 3.-Owen D.
Young, in a letter pubIcized yesterday,
characterized Franklin D. Roosevelt as
man of sound intelligence, fine in
tuition, deep sympathy, adequate un-
derstanding and real independence"
The chairman of the General Elec-
trio Co., himself mentioned as a pos
sible candidate for the presidency in
/ the pre-convention speculation. pre-
sented his view in correspondence with
! the Taxpayers Union of Washington,
D. c.
The publication of the industrialist's
| letter followed upon the announcement
that Young tonight will speak in behalf
| of Roosevelt's candidacy at a Metro
politan Opera House rally of the Re-
pubncans- for Roosevelt League.
This will be his first public participa-
! ton in the campaign. The New York
| Governor will speak on the same pro-
gram.
FavOrs Voting Freedom.
In letter to an employe of the Gen
eral Electric Co., also made public by
the Democratic National Committee,
Young wrote:
Il do not think you should ask any
officer Of the General Electric Co. how
sou should vote or accept their advice
if they were so unWiSe as to volunteer
1t, which l am thankful to say they
have never done. What we need in this
country. and in this election particu
larly. are votes rejecting the views of
the voters free from coercion OF fear or
favor"
The employe, George H. Younger,
Philadelphia, had written TO ask will
my vote help the G. E. and if so for
which party should I vote to help my
frm?"
This same word was sent to stock
holder in the General Electric, Ben
Eckert Of Springfield, Ill, who had in
quired if in Young'S opinion. the
progress of the company would be re-
tarded in event Of Gov. Roosevelt's S
election TO the presidency"
The inquiry to Young, from the Tax
PAYERS Unicn. asked among other
things: May the independent voter
expect that it will be the radicals such
as Huey Long, for instance, or the con-
servatives like yourself and the others
mentioned. who will have the greatest
influence on the President if Mr. Roose-
velt is elected?"
Quiets Fears Of Levy"
The letter also asked: DO you have
reason to believe that Mr.. Roosevelt
has in mind a program of private prop
erty confiscation or capital levy, as it
is known in England. such as is advo-
Gated by the American Socialist candi-
date Mr.. Thoras? Or can you assure
the independent voter that there is no
possibility of such thing?"

TO SCARE NATION
Accuses President of Trying
AIarmist Methods to
Keep Office.

TROY, N. Y, November 3-Alfred E.
Smith turned back toward New York
City today after a speech last night
! in which he pleaded again for the elec-
ton of Roosevelt and Garner and at
tackled President Hoover for what, he
said. was an attempt to scare the
people"
Speaking of the President, Smith said:
II wonder what he is trying to do?
He certainly is not defending his ad-
ministration, and he certainly Is not
proposing anything new. but it seems
to me that he Is talking to scare the
American people. Now, nobody can do
that"
The Democratic presidential candi-
date of 1928 said hope for solution Of
the Nations problems lies in the elec-
ton of Roosevelt and Garner and a
Democratic Congress-"
1T doesn't make any difference how
bad the times may be. We are never
going to fall into that depth of despair
that anybody is going to scare us as
to the future of this country he said.
Crowd Cheers Lustily.
The audience choered Justify at each
mention of Gov. Roosevelt. A large
part Of the speech in behalf Of the
State ticket was along lines of what
Smith said at Buffalo last week. An
other part he said was reply to Mr..
Hoover's Madison Square Garden ad-
dress.
Now, never had any doubt about
the Democratic cause" Smith doomed,
"and 1 never entertained for a moment
doubt about the success of the Demo-
cratic ticket, but if perchance some
doubt did creep into my mind, it was
thoroughly dispelled when 1 listened to
President Hoover at Madison Square
Garden"
What hope is there" Smith asked,
"of getting a President to acknowledge
that he was in error? He is going to
back up everything he did to the last
ditch. no matter how wrong it may be,
and what chance is there of changing
his mind?
What chance is there of impressing
on the Republican majority in the
Congress of the United States that for
four years back they have been entirely
in error, that they have retraced their
steps. that they must take another turn
and admit their own weakness?
Holds Vote Is Only Hope.
There is no chance of doing that,
and we know it will never be done.
Therefore, the hope for the solution
of all these problems lies in the election
of Roosevelt and Garner and Demo-
cratic Congress"
Smith SAID he agreed with Mr.. Hoover
that you cannot extend the mastery
of government over the daily life OF
the people"
And that is exactly what is the mat
ter with the eighteenth amendment" :"
he said.
He commented on the Presidents
warnings about "the growth of bureau
cracy such as We have never seen III

Department of Commerce that he him

Politics at Random
Prohibition, Progressive Sping to Democrats and
Rise of Socialist Party May Be Future
Features of 1882 Campaign.

Secession of considerable group Of
the Western Progressive leaders from
the Republican ticket does not in iteslf
represent new trend in politics.
Something similar has happened
twice before within the last 20 years.
In 1912 the Roosevelt Progressive ticket
polled 4,126,0O0 votes and in 1924 the
La Toilette Progressive ticket polled
4,822,0OO
The historic thing about the 1882 Sc
cession is that after two unsuccessful
attempts to go it alone as third party,
those Western Progressives who have
left the Republicans are linking their
fortunes this time with the Democrats.
Two of the most interesting questions
which this campaign has raised are
these:
Can the ocratic-Progressive al
lance now be put on permanent basis,
so as to go forward in future campaign
years as working entity?
Can the tremendous gains made by
the Socialist party in 1892 be preserved,
even in large part, in future elections.
History Made.
Aside from the alliances they have
made and the gains and losses they
have suffered. good many other things
have happened to both Of the great
parties.
The Democratic campaign geared it
self to an appeal to liberalism, an in
formality of procedure and a disregard
Of precedent unmatched for many years.
The Republican tradition of sitting
tight, disregarding the roars of the oppo-
sition and trusting to normal Repub-
lican majority to do its work on cleo
tion day, has been blown to bits. Presi-
dent HOOVer'S last -minIIte dash into tho
thick of the fray will be long remem-
bered in party annals
All in all, the campaign appears now
to have made much real history, al
though the full measure Of its contri-
button remains to be taken after the
smoke has cleared away more COM
pletely.
Evening star., 1932-11-03
BY BYRON PRICE.

Time alone can assign to 1882 its
exact significance in the evolution of
the American political system, but it is
possible even now to catalogue some Of
the things which must stand out when
the historian of the future leafs
through the records Of this troubled
period.
Certainly it can be said that, in long
retrospect. the campaign will appear
notable for the political shift of base
Oh prohibition; for the effort to bring
the Western Progressives under Demo-
cratic leadership; for the rise of the
Socialist party to new prominence. and
for several changes in the tendencies
and methods of the two old parties
themselves.
Whether these turns in the road will
be important eventually cannot now be
foretold. Any one of them may be the
beginning of great things, or Of nothing.
At least they all are eloquent of the po-
litical state of the Union in 1882, and
surely they present interesting data for
the student of national psychology.
Shift on Prohibition.
Few political developments in recent
years have been more spectacular than
the swing of the jor party candidates
away from the present prohibition
regime.
Other issues have had greater public
notice in the last weeks of the campaign.
The nominees have talked of the tariff
of the fundamental relations of govern
ment to private enterprise, and of many
things besides; but all these discussions
have been clouded by complications so
that it is disputed how far either party
has departed, If at all, from its previous
tenetS.
On prohibition. the case is much
clearer. Both presidential nominees
have directly asked for change; which
means that 1882 has seen one of those
surges of political sentiment for which
the historian always watches.
