CLUB ON EDGE
FOR CLASH
W|THSOX
By GARRETT WATERS

CHICAGO, May 13.-It's been
a pretty tough spring out here in
the West this year and baseball
in particular has been affected, as
every Western club will tell at a
moments notice.
The Chicago White Sox, for a
most important example, have
been kept from playing no less
than seven times during the past
two weeks and just at periods
when triumphs might have been
chalked up against their weaker
Eastern rivals-weaker in the
sense that the Sox are in high
speed at present and able to give
every opponent a run for theH
money.
These same Sox were all reaCV
and rarin' to look the 1888 GrifS
over yesterday when rain inter.
fered. They had only two days
before gotten themselves adjusted
to the New York Yankees styld
of play and had been returned an
inspiring 10-to-1 victory over the
Mccarthy clan.
Therefore yesterday they were
all set to continue their good work
against the aspiring Griffmen,
who had just arrived from st.
Louis under the spell of two sur
prising lickings at the hands Of
the St. Louis Browns.
But the show was stopped sud-
denly by Jupiter Pluvius and it
added just another day of idle
ness for Manager Lew FonSeca's
men, who are wondering now
whether they'll ever get to play
more than twice a week.
AS to the Griffs the rain came
as a most welcome sign as the
afternoon of idleness enabled
every member to discuss and re-
late the manner in which those
losses were taken at the hands
of the st. Louis Browns at st.
Louis.
And now that bygones have
been thrown into the fire as by.
cones, the entire team can be
said to be set again and ready
to tear into the SoX for revenge
revenge that'll make up for those
two sorrowful losses at St. Louis
Because of yesterdays rain
Manager Cronin's men will play
a doubleheader before leaving
here. It has been scheduled for
Sunday and Pilot Joe hopes that
his team will walk off the field
that day with a twin triumph
under their belts-added to the
one he hopes will be gained in
today's scheduled single contest,
weather permitting.
Three Twin Bills
Speaking of doubleheaders and
the bad weather which has forced
many postponements this spring,
the GriffS are fortunate that
they'll only have to play three
twin bills on their next trip out
in this sector of the circuit.
! The first of these has already

starting June 20 and running
through to July 2.
just when these undecided dates

writing, but more than likely

It's double purpose is to enable the

stabilize and raise the domestic
price level; and to force a weapon
to be used in the international bat

Many feel that because of the

have been at a distinct diSadvan-

too high to compete in the world

All twelve Indiana con-

flatiOn amendment.
Under house rules, final passage
of the omnibus inflation-f re-

But the vote of approval for the
currency sections was equivalent to
final authorization for the Presi-
dent to manage national credit and
money without further congression-

Earlier the house sent the strictly
farm aid sections of the bill to con-

will be smoothed out.
Final passage of the entire meas

have completed their work, expect

The currency and credit imitation
sections were approved this after
noon in exactly the form passed by
the senate, thus eliminating all ne

Decreased taxation and increased

potent reasons for indications of re-
turning prosperity.
Arson S. Thomas, field represen-

pairs to fifty Indiana farms. He
also declared that an increased con-

VOTE is NEAR
ON NATIONAL
FARM STRIKE
More Than 1000 Gather at
DeS MoineS, Ready to
Ballot.
BY HARTZELL SPENCE
United Press Staff Correspondent

DIES MONIES, Ia, May 3.-De-
termined farmers from New York
to New Mexico and from the plains
of Canada to the ranges of Texas
assembled here 1,400 strong today
to consider calling national farm
strike to start on May IS.
Corn planters, wheat growers,
truck gardeners, and cattlemen
came from their fields to attend
the convention called by the Ma
tional Farm Bank Holiday Asso-
citation, which hopes, by threat of
starving out the nations cities, to
force immediate farm relief.
Milo Reno, prophet of new day
for Americas farmers, set his fol-
lowers cheering when he called on
them to hold fast their lines for the
proposed strike.
Reno warned the farmers that
they would become a race of igno-
BILE slaves" unless they united be-
hind his three-point program, which
provides:
l. Eliminate all prejudice against
other social classes.
2. Break off political alliances.
8. Ward against pickering on
trivial questions.
Vote to Come Thursday
Today's convention program was
devoted to stirring enthusiasm,
mapping plans, and drafting resolu-
tons. Vote on the strike will come
Thursday.
Strike plans provide that, if
called, farmers will buy nothing,
sell nothing, and pay nothing
The Holiday Association claims
branches in forty-one states, as we'll
as af1liates such as the Wisconsin
milk pool, which has declared an
embargo for May 10. A majority
vote of delegates will determine
whether the strike shall be called.
Reno, emphatic, bushy-haired
Iowa Farmers Union official, who
conceived and nursed the holiday
idea, looked on today's convention
as an hour of triumph. Born as a
state enterprise, his movement
spread.
Expounded His Plan
Pickets attempted to block mar
keting of nonsyrpathetic farmers
in Iowa last summer in four coun-
ties. The local strike failed, but
the holiday men learned to hold
penny" sales, and resisted sheriffs
at foreclosures.
Farmers outside the state started
similar tactics. Reno, steel-gray
hair flying, gnarle fists clenched,
personally eXpoun6ed the plan to
belligerent farm groups from north
ern New York to southern New
Mexico.
While Reno was stumping the
country, rallying delegates for to-
days convention, the first major
outbreak occurred in northern Iowa.
He explained he hopes to avert such
incidents if the strike is called.
IF farmers cooperate and refuse
to market their product, no I'M
toward incidents need occur" he told
the United Press.

IMMUNITY IS PLEDGED
No Marked Money Says
Father of Abduction Vic
tim in East.
BY MARTIN KANE
United Press Staff Correspondent

HARWICHPORT, Mass, May 3.
Ransom, with a pledge of mo
marked money" was offered today
to the kidnapers of Peggy McN1ath,
but no word came from the abduc-
tors as police search spread in an
ever widening area which by morn
ing stretched from Canada to New
York and extended to sea.
Police today agreed to a forty
eight-hour cessation of activity in
the case of facilitate possible ne
gotiations between the kidnapers of
Peggy and the child's family. The
father promised immunity to the
abductorS.
Peggy, 10-year-old granddaughter
of Francis G. McMath, millionaire
engineer and industrialist of De-
triot, was kidnapped from her
school Tuesday by a Negro in an
automobile.
Coast Guard Keeps Watch
Coast guard craft were ordered
to watch neighboring waters, near
where Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
once sought vainly to make contact
by plane with the kidnapers of
his son.
The girls father, Neil McMath,
former treasurer of Whitehead e.
Kales Company, Detroit steel firm,
issued this statement as the hours
wore on without word from the
kidnapers:
Above all things, we wish to get
our child back. If they get in touch
with us, we will follow their rules
religiously. 1 will meet them at
any spot they may designate. There
will be no marked money"
Both the McMaths and Peggys
mothers family are prominent in
business and financial affairs of De-
troit.
Prominent in Detroit
William R. Kales, father of Mrs.
McMath, is president of White
head & Kales, and a friend of Henry
Ford. The family has spent its sum-
mers here for many years, and for
two years has spent the winters here
also.
The family is democratic, and
Peggy and her brothers, Francis, 7.
preferred to go to school by the
regular school bus instead of being
driven by the McMath chauffeur.
The kidnapers. apparently ac-
quainted with the child's schedule,
took advantage of this fact. Short
" after noon Tuesday a man tele-
phoned the McMath home, and told
maid to leave the receiver off the
hook for ten minutes to permit
telephone tests.
Then Miss Ruth Holes, secre-
tary of the Harwich Center gram
mar school, which Peggy attended,
received a call purporting to come
from McMath, asking that the girl
be released from school at 2::30. The
message said car would be await
ing her.
At 2;30 Peggy emerged from the
school and a Negro in livery, sit
ting at the wheel of a blue auto
mobile, beckoned to her.
She didn't want to get into TIE
car Jack Shaughnessy, TO- who
was playing in the school yard, said
later. The man pulled her in and
she started to cry. He told her to
shut up, and drove away toward
North Harwich."
