7AMMANYWORRY TO DEMOCRATS; DRYS TO 6. 0. P.
Both Parties Are Troubled with Time Old Issues as
 Conventions Near
WALKERS TENURE MAY BE VITAL, ROOSEVELT
If Governor Removes w alker Tammany
 Will Make War

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Two familiar headliners of many a hot campaign, Tammany and Prohi- ioition, come near monopolizing po- Itical speculation as the two poli- tical parties pick up their troubles and prepare to fight it out at Chi cago For the big, Democratic Con- vention the question is who will Joe the nominee for President. At the bottom of that question is the one as to what will Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt do to Tammany and what will Tammany do to him. What will the convention think about it all?
 Among Republicans the only great uncertainty is over the plat form. Nine-tenths of that uncer- tainty clusters under the single question, what to say about the dry laws?
 Developments
 Definite developments on both of these subjects have been pro vided during the past week while delegate choosing is at a stand still. Other determining events are almost entirely lacking.
 The Mayor Walker investigation has brought out that Tammany is behind him, bringing Tammany anc Roosevelt at opposite ends of controversy. Should the remova question come up at the convention it might put Roosevelt in a hole
 G. o. P. on Edge
 The stand of the united drys has placed the Republicans on edge regarding their platform on Pro. hibition. Nearly two score of dry societies and organizations of ons sort or another have decided tt go down the line for no inter ference with the present status O Prohibition. They insist that th' Eighteenth Amendment and th' Volstead and other laws passet under it must stand without chang' and there must be demand fo' their sss.ict enforcement.

Congressmen Taking Steps to Force Legislation to
 Vote by Petition

WASHINGTON, June 3.--A criti- cal situation has shaped up as hundreds or more bonus seeking veterans poured into the city and were quartered in shelterless open fields for lack of billeting space.
 Six hundred of the veterans have been quartered in vacant buildings and 1000 more or so are looked after by local charities.
 Two new delegations came in last night and more are expected during today.
 Hundreds of veterans are report ed enroute from all parts of the country.
 Funds Are Low
 Funds are low and local authori- ties are desperate over caring for the bonus seekers.
 The objective of the veterans is still far distant.
 One hundred and thirteen mem bers of the House have signed a petition. requiring 145 names, through which it is sought to compel 8 vote on legislation to pay two billion dollars bonus.
 It is reported that Communistic influences back of the veterans marches are apparently leading to a split in the ranks of the vet eranS.

ner in which these st. Louis
hurlers have cavorted against
them during the past three days.
Despite the fact that they have
dropped three straight to the
Browns, however, only yesterday
CAN'T be said that "Our Teams"
pitching was not up to snuff.
Better Days Ahead
But then things were bound to
crack sometime with this depart
ment and now that a terrible"
day has been had, maybe both
the pitching and hitting will take
a turn for winning ways in the
games to follow.
At any rate, the sorry situation
which has been part of the
Griffs' showing during the past
three days could be no worse
which is a consolation if there
are no other words.
The Browns won yesterdays
game because, as said before, the
Griffs' pitching was not up to
snuff. Bobby Burke, who started,
was treated very roughly while
the youngsters Frank Ragland
and Bob Friedrich who followed
were little better.
Two runs in the first and six
more in the fourth actually won
the old ball game for the in
vaderS. 1t was in this latter
frame that Manager Johnson de-
c1ded that Burke had had enough.
The batting order of the Browns
went completely around, and sin
giles by Melillo. Levey, Schultz,
Burns and GoSlin and triple by
Campbell found their way into
the records.
Myer Hits Homer
In the Griffs' cause, Buddy
Myer, Sammy West and Joe Gro
min produced the bingles for
runs - numbering two - which
came in the first round. Myers
contribution was a home run over
the right field wall, while dou-
bleS by West and Cronin in sue
cession represented their run-pro-
ducing efforts.
Seven more hits ratified off
Griff bats before the final out in
the ninth, but none of 'em
counted as far as runs were con-
cerned, because George Blae-
holder. st. Louis hurler, was so
good with that big lead supply
ing such an incentive.
Well, maybe "Our Griffmen"
will do better today. Let's hope so.

HARRIS LAUDS
BILL ROGELL !.

Buckley Harris. who has had
much success in his efforts to re.
build the Tigers, says that Rogell
has been one of the reasons for
the greatly improved play Of the
Detroit team this season. Rogell
had been kicking about some
time between the majors and the
minors. With the Boston Red
Sox a few years ago he was rated
as a good infielder. but inclined
not to take his play seriously.
He needed a few bumps to steady
his work and the minors gave
them to him. When he realized
that baseball was his business he
went out and played such bah in
the minors that the Tigers hauled
him back to stay. He is one Of
the best in the loop this year.
Besides teaming well with Geh:
ringer, he gets his share Of the
Tigers hits.
