PLAYOFF SERIES STANDINGS
DIMAC VOTED
 MOST POPULAR

CHICAGO, H., Sept. 2l.-Joe Di- Maggie, dashing center fielder Of the world champion New York Yankees, has been voted the most popular player at his position in organized baseball.
 And if that isn't enough for Di- Maggios admirers, it now appears that DiMaggio will prove to be the most popular ball player of them all for 1888. Aside rom the honor this vote has brought him he short ly will be presented with an auto mobile by the Kellogg Company, sponsors of this event.
 For a few days after the center field voting opened it appeared that Earl Averill of the Indians, Roger Cramer of the Red Sox and Lloyd Waner of the Pirates had chance to win the auto.
 However, DiMaggio followers, many of them on the Pacific Coast, began pouring in votes until the tabulation took on all the appear ance of political landslide. It was the San Francisco lobster-vender in a walkaway. Averill, Cramer and Waner finished in that order with very little to choose between them.

WILSON'S DIAGNOSIS

This man called attention to a statement President Woodrow Will son once made:
 Politics in this country does not depend any longer upon the regu- lar members of either party There are not enough regular Republicans in this country to take and hold national power; and I must imme- diately add there are not enough regular Democrats in this country to do it either. This country is guided and it's policy is determined by the independent voter |. say to the Independent voter, you have got us in the palm of your hand. I do not happen to be one of your number but I recognize your su- premacy because I read the cleo ton returns
 The question of political moral ity which puzzles our practical politician is this: If President Will son was right and the situation is still as he described it, the for mer Republicans who voted against Senator Pope may well have been part of this supreme group of inde- pendents. If so, they either had to enter at this primary time the party of their present choice or leave to handful of regular Republicans on one hand, and of regular Democrats on the other. the selection of nomin- ees. Theirs would then be merely to choose between the two at general election time. And where Che asks) would be the political morality of that?
 For the most part the practical politicians hereabout leave such, delicate questions to the theorists high in the councils Of party. They know that there must be a great body of shifting irregulars in the land, else how would one explain Harding and Hoover landslides followed by couple of Roosevelt landslides in the same political generation.
 And whethers or not the party leaders would deprive these un- tethered voters of primary voice. they propose to go on broadcasting political seed and reaping such votes as they may without looking too hard at their teeth, their pedi- grees or their party records.
 Somebody, they say, has to get things politically.

Even the Yankees record losing streak can't stir up much interest since the New Workers ha vc clinched the American League pen nant and fans won't be interested in the National League race until the teams are able to come out from under umbrellas to play a few games remaining.
 In the meantime the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians are stir ring up quite lively pair of pri- vate battles for second place in the American League which is now at stake.
 The Red Sox regained a little ground by walloping the St. Louis Browns at both ends of double header as the Indians took single game from the Washington Sena- tors.

WELCOME STRANGER

The practical politicians are not unhappy about that. If they are touting a man for nomination, they want to get any legitimate voter they can interest into the primaries to help nominate him. And if they can interest a Republican in a Democratic contest and bring him into the party at primary time, they like it. They figure the Republican may follow through for the man he likes in the general election. But whether he does or not, he VIII have helped build up significant- ly large party primary vote, which is supposed to be potent influence in a campaign.
 They are inclined to ask where they are going to look for converts except in the ranks of the people who have had contrary political inclinations previously.
 The President based his con- ment about morality on the situa- tion in Idaho. He had been in- formed that Republicans marked Democratic ballots in sufficient number to defeat Senator Pope That. of course, is unprovable be- cause the marking of ballots was secret. Furthermore, Idaho has the open type of primary and invites a voter to enter what primary he pleases by giving him the ballots of all parties in one.
 What interests at least one of the practical politicians here, however is how possibly to distinguish a Republican in such a state. Per

dent pro tempore of the Senate,
declared emphatically today in re-
ferring to his opposition to con-
firmation of Robert K. Burlew to
be First Assistant Secretary of the
Interior.
The Nevadan, a Senate Demo
cratic veteran, completed a 10000
word indictment" of Burlew, who
is now first administrative assis-
tant to Secretary Ickes and de-
scribed by Ickes as one of his most
competent lieutenants.

which Pittman is a member, has
voted to recommend confirmation
and will file its majority report
next week. Pittman's report will
go to the Senate at the same time.
Official Washington is prepar-
ing for fireworks when the issue
is fought out on the floor. Pitt
man, chairman of the powerful
committee on Foreign Relations

unusual role for him-opposition
to an appointment of a president
of his own party.

attack and defense in the i'm
pending battle. Pittman has
hinted he considers the head Of
the department responsible Tor

Republican Senators were sup
porting Burlew. His home State
is Pennsylvania. He entered Gov
rnment service as a War Depart
ment clerk in 1910 and is described
by Ickes as a career man" in
contending his promotion would
be recognition of the merit system.
