with the puzzle whether Virginia

Miss Switzer said she was on

Lady Furness continued her

the hammering cross-examination

she will take the stand herself to

her adventure.
Emerging from the matron's

II don't know why they
wanted to kidnap Mary Elsie.
I haven't any money to pay a

Mrs. Roosevelt As She Invades

By RILLA SCHROEDER

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Oct. 26.
Mrs. Roosevelt left early today
for Syracuse, where she will
deliver at noon the third of a
serise of speeches she is making
in behalf of Mrs. Daniel O'Day,
Democratic candidate for repre-
Sentative-at-large from the State
of New York.
She finished yesterday, the
first day of her campaign tour.
with address before a capacity
crowd at a dinner at the Hotel
Seneca here.
Indirectly, without mentioning
any name, she lambasted her
candidates opponent, Miss Natalie
Couch, who earlier in the day
had appeared on the same pro-
gram with her at meeting in
Buffalo.
Tax Burden Discussed
Miss Couch had charged that
New York was bearing more than
it's share of the federal tax
burden, said Mrs. Roosevelt.
New York, with more of the
concentrated wealth of the nation
than any other State, must take
into consideration the needs Of
the nation as a whole, the First
Lady asserted. Defending Mrs.
O'Day's support of the Admins
tration program, Mrs. Roosevelt
continued:
81 believe in my own Earty
and in the standard bearer of
my party because 1 know they
are trying to achieve Objectives
good for the people as whole.
think we can stand on our
record in the State and nation"
Women, she said, will be needed
in the next Congress. She indi-
Gated her belief that the session
will be devoted to wide program
of social legislation.
Rochester, although a Republi-
can stronghold, gave Mrs. Roose-
velt an ovation. The dinner
audience was enthusiastic and at
the conclusion of Mrs. Roosevelt's
speech insisted upon trailing past
her and shaking her hand. Two
thirds of the crowd were men,
bers of local Republican organiza-
tions.
Mrs. Harper Sibley, a girlhood
friend of Mrs. Roosevelt, enter
tanned the distinguished visitor
and her campaign companions,
Mrs. O'Day and Miss Nancy Cook,
overnight.
Crowds Block Way
On her way to Rochester from
Buffalo Mrs, Roosevelt was greeted
along the road by groups of men
and women and children who
cheered and waved. At Leroy, a
town of about 5000 inhabitants,
she stopped at the home of Mrs.
Donald Woodward, where a crowd
Of some 1000 had gathered to
greet her. It was q typical politi-
cal rally, with women with babies
in arms, elderly persons and
loudly enthusiastic men and
women blocking her pathway to
her car and insisting upon shaking
her hand.
Tonight Mrs. Roosevelt will
speak at Albany and tomorrow
she will go to her home at Hyde
Park to spend the weekend.

Best of all, the Browns Golfers

"HE Nationals, if ever assembled
in good health, should be better
than a sixth-place club. Or
should they?
why shouldn't they bounce out at
the top next year?" was Hornsby's
response. They've got a great young
infield-Kuhel, Myer, Cronin and
Travis. That kid Travis will make
great ball player If he ever learns to
hit to right field. The oufield's good.
A pitcher or two and you'll be up
there.
There's no guarantee the
Tigersn win again in 1885. Not
by long shot. They're playing
over their heads.

some extent last year. Come back to

and where are you? Well, Washington
is in sixth place. That's base ball.

Nj UNI NG0pE Still Prefers Tigers;
~ OOUl Ia Sees Hope for Mats.
by FRANCIS E. STAN

CT. LOUIS, September T.
Rogers Hornsby, upon re-
quest, took his gaze from
- a flock of assorted Sandlot
hopefuls cluttering up the field
at Sportsman's Park and peered
intently into his private crystal
ball.
The Rajah pondered moment and
then in the typical straightforward
shoulder style, fired away:
1.-THE Tigers look good to me. The
series probably will go seven games
and HubbeIl probably will win every
time he starts. But I still like the
Tigers"
The Giants whipped the Nationals
last year when Washington, like De-
troit, was favored. Does he consider
the Tigers better than. the 1888
Senators?
'Well, no." said the Rajah,
"but Pm stringing along with
the Tigers because Lady Luck
is, too.
"They can do no wrong. Nobody
is getting hurt. Everything Cochrane
tries works. They're like the Cardi-
mails of 1926. Everybody had a good
year. In my book the Tigers are not
great ball club. But they're click
ing right now"
They're steaming up a Hubbell VS..
Rowe duel already. How about that?
Mickey knows his ball club" quoth
HornSby "But I wouldn't shoot Rowe
against Hubbell. Carl is the greatest
pitcher in base ball. If he has
god day he'll lick any pitcher If I
were calling 'em I'd shoot an ordi-
nary pitcher, like Sorrell, for in
stance, against Hubbell.
eff he caught HubbelI on an
off day he might lick the
Giants just as well as Rowe.
Then you'd have Rowe and
Bridges and Auker to pitch.
"Hal Schumacher is the only
pitcher outside of Hubbell for the
Tigers to worry about. I think they'll
beat Fftzsimmons and Parmelee."
