THE man in the street as well
as party leaders, delegates and
journalists will answer the
Il question: Who's going to win
the Republican nomination." during
novel nationwide broadcast over
Columbia Monday.
Thus, on the eve of the Republican
National Convention at Cleveland,
party leaders as we'll as the radio
audience will have the opportunity to
hear what a typical cross-section of
the citizenry is thinking. And, vice
versa, the public may get q preview
on how authoritative observers and
participants think things are shaping
up at the convention itself.
AS another innovation, announcers
will employ new portable micro-wave
transmiters for interviews in the
Cleveland convention lobbies while
announcers in eight other cities from
coast to coast question sidewalk crowds.
The first 40 minutes of the program
will be devoted to interviews with
typical Americans in Chicago, Detroit,
Washington, Cincinnati, Philadelphia,
Los Angeles, st. Louis and New York
City. Their answers will be broadcast
through loudspeakers in the Columbia
studio at the Cleveland Hotel in Cleve-
land, where many party leaders are
to be assembled and also will be "piped"
to the hotel lobby where delegates will
be pouring in from all parts Of the
country.
The last third Of the show will be
turned over to H. v. Kaltenborn,
member of the Columbia staff Of con-
vention commentators, and Bob Trout,
head Of the staff Of announcers, who
will ask the same questions Of those
congregated in the studio and the
lobby. On this occasion Kaltenborn
plans to test Columbia's new micro
wave transmitter which can be carried
freely from one place to another un-
hampered by trailing wires. Recep-
ton from this equipment can be COM
pared with that from the wired micro
phones which will be used by Trout.

drove Bobby Jones out Of competitive
golf. In this respect it Is the toughest

Pole,and.Line Angler Gets Rest,
But There's Work for Caster

if he is out to test pet theory. He
is found in great numbers along trout
streams and is quite plentiful in bass
country. There. are two classes Of
fly fishermen-wet and dry. Dry flies
represent insects and float upon the
surface. Wet flies initiate the water
stages-nymphs, larvae-of insects.
Bait fishermen use a longer rod
than the plug caster but not as whippy
in the tip as a fly rod. Crawfsh,
minnows, worms, ETC., are cast into
likely looking spots. As is the case
with all other ways of casting, it takes
practice to get accuracy and to keep
the bait on.
The pole-and-liner takes it easy by
keeping his bait in one place until
some finny denizen agitates the bobber
placed q few feet above the hook and
sinker. He gets rest while the caster
gets exercise.

Hampden-Sydney Professor Tells
of Days When Sticker Named
Kind of Ball He Wanted.

BY the Associated Press.
DR.. WILLIAM H. WHITING. pro-
fessor of Latin at Hampden-
Sydney College, has recalled the
days when base ball pitchers had to
throw the ball Just where the batter
demanded, or it was a ball.
The pitcher. however, could throw
nine balls. instead Of only four.
That was in 1876 when DR.. Whiting,
affectionately known to hundreds of
his former students as "Aggie," played
base ball with the Berryville, Va, High
School. The team played games with
teams from Winchester and Upper
vile. Va, and Charles Town, w. Va.
The pitcher was required to use an
underhand delivery.
A Randolph-Macon College under
graduate. who hurled for Upperville
one Summer, alarmed the Berryville
batters with the first curve ball they
had ever seen, DR.. Whiting said.

n | first choice of Freddie NC
wv Leod among presidential
golfers.
Mcleod is the veteran professional
who has taught several Chief Execu-
tives. He recently celebrated his fifty
fourth birthday by shooting rounds OF
81 and SO over his Columbia Country
Club course. A native Of Scotland, he
has been here almost a quarter OF a
century, but became an American
citizen only recently.
One of McLeods pupils, Harding
generally scored in the high COS. He
played at many clubs here, but most
often at Friendship on the private
course of E. B. Mclean, then publisher
of the Washington Post.
Mr.. Harding was an attentive and
apt student" Mcleod recalled. "Ot
course, he didn't have much time to
play and so couldn't become a really
good player But, for the time he de-
voted to it, he turned in good game"
Played in Newspaper Meet.
HARDING was a great sportsman
IL He liked to bet with those in his
foursome, Mcleod said wagering on
strokes, match and medal play. Most
often, Harding's companions were
Senators he had known intimately
while a member of the Senate.
Once Washington reporters weve
holding a tournament. Mr.. Harding
was asked to present the cup to the
winner. He not only agreed to do that,
but insisted he be allowed to play,
pointing out that he was newspaper
man, former editor of the Marion,
Ohio. Star.
William Howard Taft, then Chief
Justice of the United States, also
played in that newspaper tourney.
He would drive in his buggy out to
Chevy Chase, then considered some
distance from Washington, and play.
He was an enthusiastic golfer, but
not much on scoring. He liked to
play in foursome of jovial compan-
ions and enjoyed sitting on the tees
and telling stories.
President Wilson played fairly often,
but never cared for the game. 1t was
purely exercise for him. He played
with his physician, Admiral Cary T.
Grayson.
AN Intellectual attempt to put an
elusive ball into an obscure hole with
implements i'll adapted for the pur-
pose" was Mr.. wilson's definition Of

Mackenzie Bets Pupil.
MIR. COOLIDGE, who ended the
4'A cycle of White House golfers,
also cared little for the game. He
played sometimes at Friendship. when
Vice President, with Harding. He also
took lessons from Mcleod.
Mcleod numbers countless mem
bers of Congress and governmental
officials among his pupils. Dwight
Davis, donor of the Davis Cup, famed
international tennis competitive tro-
ply, and former Secretary Of War,
learned golf from him.
Mr.. Davis was pretty fair. He
generally played in the middle 80's,"
Mcleod said.
Young Roland Mackenzie, now Con-
gressional Club professional, was his
best pupil, Mcleod said. He remem-
bers giving lessons to Ethel Barry
more shortly after she was married.

only two golfers living who won the

FARM WOMEN CHEER
Stirring Plea for Fight To
End War

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-"Lis-
ten! Do you farm women not know
that war keeps you poor; that your
nation spends too much money for
guns, airplanes and poison gas, and
too little for farm welfare?'
This was the question flung by Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, militant worker
for peace, at the 800 representatives
of the Associated Country Women of
the World gathered here in conven-
tion.
Denouncing war as Enemy No. i
of everything that is good in the
world" she continued: "Do you know
that every nation builds too many
warships and too few friendships?
Do you not know that the worst blow
to your farm would be the death of
your son or sons on battlefield ?"
Say these things to your family,
your husband, your sons, your neigh
bors. Will they pronounce you a
fanatic? They will, and it is by the
activity of fanatics alone that war
viii be abolished Make fanatics of
your family and neighbors and you
will not feel lonesome"
When Mrs. Gait finished speaking
the throngs of women representing
twenty three nations of the world rose
to acclaim her.
Earlier in the conference the farm
women decided to approve project in
volving the international exchange of
handicraft through which they hope
to help cement worldwide understand
ing and friendship.

Investigate Beating of I'm
ion President

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Agents
have been assigned by the department
of labor and the National Labor Rela-
tions Board to probe the beating Of
Sherman Dalymple, president of the
United Rubber Workers of America.
The beating occurred at Gadsden,
Alabama; where the Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Co. has q large plant; and
where it has been discharging men
who showed an interest in union work.
Dalymple spoke at a mass meeting
to which all employees of the plant
were invited.
Eggs were thrown at Dalrymple and
small riot started when the police
entered; and, instead of arresting the
rioters, arrested Dalymple, led him
out of the building, and released him.
He started for his hotel and had nearly
reached it when two men seized his
arms and pinned them behind his
back, two more held his hair so that
he could not dodge; and the rest of a
sizable mob pummelled his face and
head.
He asked permission of the sheriff
to remain over night SO as to get
medical attention. The sheriff answer
ed that the whole city was reused,
and that he could not guarantee pro-
lection. Dalymple's wife drove him
to another town where he got treat
ment.
The attack on Dalymple had an
echo in Akron, Ohio, where workers
in one big plant staged 24-hour "sit
down" strike in protest.

Washington, d. c. (ILNS) The
three biggest of the Big Four to-
bacco companies had surpluses on hand
at the beginning of the present year
totalling just under $150,000,000.
American Tobacco Co. had surplus
of $65 .557 1886; Liggett & Myers, SAL
71,0H; j. R. Reynolds, $42, ,154.
The exact total of the accord
ing to their own reports-was S149,
923,610.
But these three companies, with the
wealth of Croesus in their vaults, are
among the companies paying less
than $11 week to the women who
stem their tobacco by hand
The Womens Bureau Of the De
partment Of Labor made an investi-
cation of the current payrolls Of the
stemmery departments of three
branches of the tobacco industry;
cigarettes, chewing tobacco and deal
ers. Payroll figures were gathered
for 5,l25 workers.
Wages Low as l19c Hourly
In this study, the bureau uses the
median wage instead of the average
of wages. The median wage may be
described as the exact middle of the
payroll; half the employees get more,
and half get less. With this explana-
ton, let US quote the report:
Hand stemmers had a higher
median Of hourly earnings in
cigarette factories than in chew
ing tobacco factories or in deal
ers' establishments. In cigarette
factories, the median wage was
y cents an hour; in chewing
tobacco factories, 24.7 cents an
hour; in dealers establishments,
1l.9 cents an hour
In the last named dealers estab-
lishments) no employe averaged as
much as 221a cents an hour; in the
other two branches, some hand stem
mers received as high as 40 cents an
hour"
There were exactly 40 employees
out of the 5,125 who got this wage
of 40 cents an hour; 33 in cigarette
factories and seven in chewing tobacco
factories. The report goes on:

factory payrolls in this state went up
