NEW YORK, July lit makes

admirers, so far as attendance at
Gershwin concerts is concerned, thru

When Gershwin was alive and ap-

Last night, when the second an

bCdSuc OUT OF
what was beginning to be a run
away.
In defeating Joe McCarthy's ag-
gregation of lethal clubbers five
straight in the most recent engage
ments between the Boston and the
New York teams, in capturing 8 of
the IL games thus far played, Joe
Cronin and his intrepid iconaclasts
have destroyed the point of Babe
Ruth's recent remarks that there
were three major leagues in the Ma
ton, the American, the National and
the New York Yankees.
Born in San Francisco on October
IL, 1905, Joe Cronin's facility in lawn
tennis as a student in the mission
high school was so pronounced as to
make 1t seem probable he would now
be gearing himself for international
competition as a member Of the
Davis Cup team had he not eventu-
ally decided that baseball held more
OF future for him. He was not so
proficient In this sport as in lawn
tennis-he won the boys champion
ship of San Francisco at the age of
l4-but he was none the less a good
shortstop
Later at the Sacred Heart COL
lege, alma mater of James j. Cor
bett and Harry Heilmann, he con-
centrated upon the national pastime.
Joe Devine, scout for the Pittsburgh
Pirates, chanced to see him on the
semi-pro lots. So at 19 he went to

Joe Engel, scout for the Washington
Senators, served him we'll. The Sen
ators NEEDED shortstop and so once
again Joe rose to major company.
Soon he was hitting over $50 and it
was not long before he was recog-
nized as the greatest shortstop in
either big league.
Clark Griffith, whose adopted
daughted Joe married, sold him to
| the Red Sox for a sum believed to
be between s150,000 and 5000 900.
Whatever the actual amount. it was
the greatest ever paid for a ball
player. Going to the Red Sox in
1885 as playing manager, the team
finished fourth that year, sixth in
1886, fifth in 1887 and second last
year. Stalwart, personally ingra-
tlatlng, Joe runs his club on the

The Political Mill
Garner Democrats Make PIuns
To Use Principles of Hatch Bill

in favor of the Hatch bill. He has
predicted that 1t would pass at this
session of Congress. The demand
that Federal officeholders - the
United States marshals and attor-
neys, internal revenue collectors,
postmasters, ETC., be barred as dele
gates to conventions nominating
candidates for President started in
the Democratic party at least 80
years ago-and perhaps earlier. In
the 1908 Democratic national plat
form, written after President Theo-
dore Roosevelt had dictated the
nomination Of William Howard Taft
on the Republican ticket, appeared
the following plank:
"We condemn as violation of
the spirit of our institutions the
actions Of the present Chief EXecu-
tive in using the patronage of his
high off1ce to secure the nominal ton
for the presidency of one of his
cabinet officers. A forced success
sion to the presidency is scarcely
less repugnant to public sentiment
than is life tenure in the office.
mo good intention on the part
OF the Executive, and no virtue In
the one selected can justify estab-
llshment Of dynasty The right of
the people to freely select their
officials is inalienable and cannot
be delegated"
Pat to Hands of Garner,
This plank comes very pat to the
hands of the Garner Democrats
today, when the threat is made that
the present President Roosevelt may
either dictate his own renomina-
ton or that of favorite New
Dealer.
The appointment by the Presi-
dent OF Mr.. McNutt to be Federal
Security Administrator seems to
please everybody-eXcept some other
possible contenders for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination. in
Guiding Postmaster General James
A. Farley, who does not like Mr..
McNutt, and some of the more rad
ical New Dealers.
1t is regarded as clever stroke
for the Presidents side in the con-
test for control of the 1910 national
convention. It takes Mr.. McNutt
and his strong Indiana following
right into the New Deal camp. At

Democratic National Convention of
1910. The Garner Democrats say
they will work to this end, no mat
ter what happens to the Hatch
bill, which is due to come before
the House under a special rule
Thursday or Friday.
The Texas Garner for President
Committee, the official organization
sponsoring the Garner boom, will
set the pattern in their own State
by advocating a delegation composed
entirely of rank and file Demo-
Gratis. Garner organizations in other
States also will move for similar
delegations to the National Con-
vention. The purpose, obviously, is
to prevent control of the next Demo-
cratic National Convention by the
New Deal administration through
the use of Federal officeholders as
delegates.
There is nothing new in this pro-
cedure SO far AS Texas is concerned.
In 1886 the Texas Democrats adopt
ed a rule, to which no one appar-
emily objected at that time, provid-
ing that no Federal offlceholders or
Federal employees holding office by
appointment should be eligible for
membership in the Lone Star States
delegation to the national conven-
ton. This rule was adhered to with
two exceptions. Jesse Jones, r. F. c.
head. was given a place as delegate
at large, and SO was one other Office
holder. Not that it mattered particu-
larly in 1886, for 1t was an understood
thing that President RooSevelt-and
his Vice President, Mr. Garner
would be renominated. However, had
there been any suggestion that
Jack" Garner was to be side
tracked and some other Democrat
named as running mate for Presi-
dent Roosevelt, there would have
been no Federal offlceholders in the
Texas delegation to acquiesce in
such squeeze play. That was GER
tain.
Eve of Hatch Bill Fight.
Inc Garner Democrats are max
ing this announcement on the very
eve Of fight in the House over the
Hatch bill-which has been amended
by the Judiciary Committee so as
to permit Federal officeholders to
take part in political campaigns,
and incidentally to go to the next
national convention as delegates.
AS the bill originally passed the
Senate, this was barred. A strenu-
GUS fight to restore the prohibition
against participation in political
campaigns by these Federal off,
cials will be made in the House.
Representative Dempsey, Democrat,
of New Mexico will offer the amend
ment to put the Hatch proposal into
the bill. Senator Hatch, foremost
proponent of the measure, although
Senators Sheppard of Texas and
Austin of Vermont also sponsored
its a New Mexican too. The vote
in the House will be significant,
particularly on the Democratic side.
Those who range themselves against
the Hatch proposal will be regarded
as dyed-in-the-wool third termers
and New Dealers.
Vice President Garner is strongly
