Politics is perplexing business, under any circumstances, but sell dom does it bring together so many bewilderments as now are heading for the Republican convention at Cleveland. If half that is being whispered comes true, the partys June show will deserve high rank among the mystery dramas of all time.
 This can be said without reflect ing in the least on the claims and predictions of any candidate or his managers. Whatever the final out come, a surprising array of sub merged elements exist, and only the convention can clear the sit- uation.
 CLAIMS AND COUNTER CLAIMS
 There is the candidacy of Gov ernor Landon, which he himself never has conceded to be a candi- date at all, but for which great strength is claimed among delegates who publicly are saying nothing.
 There are many counter-claims of the managers for Colonel Knox, who predict a sudden emergence of Knox sentiment among these same non -committal delegates.
 There is the case of Senator Bor- ah, whose Supporters see him as the spokesman of the masses of Re- publican voters and whose real in-

 There is the extraordinary mys- tifying string of dark horses, rang ing from one or two who have been whispered of nationally for many months as real prospects, to others who scarcely have been heard of outside their own states and still others whose friends claim no dele gates at all.
 FEW DELEGATES INSTRUCTED
 Finally, there is the encompass sing fact that. as far as recorded orders from the voters are con- cerned, the convention will be free to end the show any way it likes.
 Most of the delegates have now been chosen. Not only is the over whelming majority uninstructed, but a warm dispute is in progress as to what they really are thinking about and intending to do.
 In most previous convention years it has been possible for disinterest- ed observers to make up a fairly de- pendable table showing the relative standing of the contestants This year the rival managers are making

Most notable are Jim Mooney,
former star Georgetown Univer-
sity tackle and punter, and Francis
Red" Fleming, Catholic Univer-
sity end. Both will be seen at end
Sunday, Mooney for the Yankees
and Fleming for the Boston
Irish" During their college days
both got more than an ordinary
share Of sports headlines. There
hasn't been a tackle as good as
Mooney at Georgetown since the
big Chicago IriShman graduated
in 1929. Nor has there been a
kicker on any local college eleven
as fine as Mooney. He still boots
'em high, wide and handsome.
Fleming will be remembered as
not only an outstanding football
end but as a great amateur boxer
as well. He won a large majority
of his fights in the light heavy
weight class while performing
under the wing of Eddie Lefond at
Catholic U. He owns a pair OF
the biggest hands in major league
sports, being an able baseball
catcher as we'll as a star pro
flanker on the gridiron. He is the
property of the Boston Bees base
ball club, last year having served
with one of the Bees farms at
Columbia, s. C.
Pat Swan, regular Shamrock
tackle, has been seen here with
Wake Forest College teams in both
football and basketball. He COM
peted against George Washington

Dutch Bergman's Catholic Univer-

Harris Looking
For Any Deal

MONTREAL, Dec. 4.-Manager
Bucky Harris of the Washington
Senators is looking for a deal
any kind Of deal-but doesn't ex-
pect any, he said today. The ur1-
productive minor league conven-
tion has failed to reveal a single
chance for him to do any Juggling.
Restoration Of the Little World
Series between the American AS
sociation and international
League was accomplished only
after sustained diplomatic nego-
tiations. The international League
originally called it off for vague
reasons, then fell into line when
the association asked In a joint
meeting that it be continued.

complete respect for the proves
Of Western Maryland which de-
feated Catholic University in the
closing game Of the Cardinal sea-
son.
you are going to find these
fellows just as rugged as any
team of the season" DobsOn said
in a conference with the Mary
land players held in the gym
ns TIL yesterday afternoon.
The terrOrS h~ve well
grounded attack that includes
power and deception. They will
run off q double wing and a
single wing and a play that you
must be prepared to stop Is q
wide lateral pass off a double re-
verse. Every man in the back
field handles the ball on this
play. If you are smart you will
stop it, If you allow yourself to
be sucked in it will be just too
bad"
After a free exchange Of ideas
that took up the better part OF an
hour, the Terrapins went out on
the broad practice field far in
back of the stadium and worked
until not even the ghost ball could
longer be seen.
DObSOn Knows How
It Is too bad that more people
cannot hear and watch Frank Dob
son work with a football team.
His fame as a defensive coach has
been sung throughout the land,
and if you had an opportunity Of
watching him work with his play
ers you would understand why q
DohSon coached team is tough. In
the first place he treats every boy
as he would treat his son. He
stands alongside of him with his
book of diagrams-shows them
how far to charge-what to ex-
pect and seems to be able to give
the boys something that al! too
often is missed by others.
Bill Guckeyson, one Of the great
est football players Maryland ever
produced, had a light day yester
day. He stood in the group Of re
serves that carefully watched a 3
squad whirl through the Western
Maryland formation when Dobson
referred to a mistake that Bill had
made last year against this same
Western Maryland team. Guckey
son was right over drinking in
every word that the coach uttered
GuckeySon said:

take this year, you can bet"
BOYS DO WELL
A defensive dummy scrimmage
seldom is interesting and yet as
you watched these Maryland boys
put into execution the commands
of their crafty coach you found
yourself wholly absorbed in the
practice. You drank in every word
that Dobson spoke and then
watched the boys operate. If a
tackle carried his charge half a
step too deep Dobson at once blew
the whistle and every man stopped

Rumors Fill Air
As Minors End
Convention
By LAWTON CARVER

MONTREAL, Dec. 4.-The base
ball people began packing up to-
day to leave this snowbound minor
league convention for the major
league meetings at New York next
week with these two important
decisions yet to be reached:
Where is Dizzy Dean finally go
ing to lan6 if he hasn't already
lar1ed, and what about the Bob
Feller case?
AS for Dizzy, after week OF
rumors. you can take your choice
between the one which has 1t that
the st. Louis ace has been sold to
the Cincinnati Reds and the rest
which run to the effect that he
will land with the New York
Giants or the Pittsburgh Pirates.
WithhOIds Announcement
Commissioner Lands decision
on the Feller case probably will
be announced at the major league
meetings.
The import here is that he
might declare the 17-year-old
striker-outer from Van Meter,
Iowa, a free agent because of al
legged irregularities in his signing
with Cleveland. In that case,
Feller will be sought by every ma
jor league club with a quarter to
spend. It will be a money battle
among the best heeled,.
It is generally accepted as a
fact that several major league
trades have been made here for
announcement next week with. the
Giants, Pirates, Cubs and White
Sox all figuring in the rumors.
New York'S champions of the
National League still are trying to
get together with Chicago on some
kind of a deal for Hank Leiber,
the Giant outfielder. The Pirates
are busy with the Dodgers, among
others, and the White Sox are en-
tertaining all comers. The rest
also are hunting with accomplish
ments about the same in every
case.
AS of today, the trading has
totaled about $3O.60 at basement
bargain prices.
Cubs Obtain Marty
The Cubs obtained Joe Marty,
batting champion of the Pacific
Coast League, from San Francisco,
for Infielder Gene Lillard, Out
fielder Johnny Gill and a couple
of farm hands.
The Cardinals sold Catcher Vir-
gil Davis and Infielder Charlie
Colbert to the Reds.
The Browns bought Outfielder
Ethan Allen from the Cubs.
The Phillies sold Pitcher Ray
Benge to st. Paul.
Outfielder Frenchy Bordagaray,
Infielder Jimmy Jordan and
Pitcher Dutch Leonard were sent
by the Dodgers to the Cards. This
was announced as a sale, but it
at least partly completes the deal
which brought Outfielder Jack
Winsett from a Cardinal farm,
Columbus, Ohio, to the Dodgers
late last season.
