NEW AGRICULTURE
SECRETARY

1t looks as if Franklin Roosevelt
was going to play the cards close to
his chest and go into the campaign
without much enlargement of his Of
fetal family. For his new secretary
of agriculture, replacing Henry Wal
lace, will be promoted from the
ranks.
He is Claud r. Wickard of Indi-
ana, now undersecretary of agricul-
ture, an able gentleman, but carry
ing no political weight and of no
great help to Roosevelt or Wallace
in presidential year. Paul H. APP
pleby, Wallace's right hand assist
ant, and the man who vigorously
urges Wickard's promotion, will step
UP as undersecretary.

AMBASSADOR CUDAHY

New recipe for political success:
get diplomatic post, speak out of
turn, take a spanking for it, then
announce for political office.
The recipe was set by James H.
r. Cromwell, whose remarks as
minister to Canada brought him a
state department reprimand. He is
now running for the Senate.
Same recipe apparently may be
followed by John Cudahy, ambassa-
dor to Belgium, who rode in high
spirits through his White House rep
rimand the other day, and is being
urged for governor of Wisconsin.
In fact, the President himself, be-
fore the spanking was over, urged
Cudahy to run.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-R-Charles
LEO Hartnett, idol of c h j c a 6 o's
north-side baseball fans for almost
20 years, will be doing business
at the same old stand in 1941.
Philip X. Wrigley, owner of the
Cubs, dispelled all rumors that the
39-year-old Gabby was on the way
out as manager W e he an
nounced today that II contemplate
no change whatsoever"
II am satisfied Hartnett has done
a much better job this year than
last" Wrigley said. However, I
am not quite satisfied with the
teams showing. We seem to have
good material.
I rather suspect that the clubs
spirit is not always what 1t should
be. That will merit attention. We
got beat by teams we should lick
and beat the good ones".
Wrigley said a new contract will
De offered the veteran catcher-pi-
lot in December.
Informed Of Wrigley's statement,
Hartnett said, Naturally, I'm elat-
ed; I feel sure We'll come up with
a fine club next year. Before that,
Of course, we've got a 1910 Job to
do-we've got to get into first d.
vision"
The Cubs are now in second di.
vision. They haven't finished that
low since 1925 when they wound
up in fifth place.
Hartnett succeeded Charles
Grimm as manager July 20, 1888,
and drove the Cubs to a pennant
that season with a powerful stretch
drive. Starting in 1929, Chicago has
nabbed the National league flae
every third year, making them due
for another title next season.

Heavy Hitter Of National
Loop For II Years Eligible
At Oklahoma City

FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. H.
R-Rogers Hornsby. whose bi g
bat frightened the daylights out OF
National league pitchers for II
years, may step up to the plate
again.
Hornsby, non-playing manager OF
the Oklahoma City Indians IN the
Texas league, became eligible for
active service when the player
limit was lifted recently.
Nobody thought much about IT,
however, until yesterday when the
Rajah strobe up and took his turn
in batting practice before the Okla
Ihoma City-Fort Worth 6 a m e.
something he hadn't done since ne
signed as the Tribes skipper early
in June.
Asked today if he intended to
get into the lineup. either as a
second baseman Or a pinch-hitter,
Hornsby replied:
mot the way we're going now,
but if Dallas should start making
it hot for us, / might hit a time
or two as a pinch-hitter."
The Indians, only n notch out
of the cellar when Hornsby took
over manager, now r rocking
along in fourth place, five and a
half games ahead Of fifth-place,
Dallas.
If they stay there, they will &c
into the Shaughnessy playoff for
the championship along with the
other first division clubs, Houston,
San Antonio and Beaumont.
Business manager Jimmie Hum
phries suggested that Hornsby pa
troll second base Sunday when the
Indians face Dizzy Dean in a game
with Tulsa. Hornsby, now A, has
barked:
I'm too fat. Besides I don't
want to beat Don Holloway out OF
his job"
Holloway, a youngster who be-
longs to the Chicago White Sox, Is
playing his second season with the
Indians.
Hornsby bate 1851 in the Ma

seasons and has a lifetime aver
age Of 1853. He will not be eligi-

Green Bay Packers, champions Of

league, ruled 8 to S favorites ovel
the college All-Stars tonight as
both squads concluded practice FOL
their game at Soldier Field Thurs
day night.
The game, seventh in the series,
may break all attendance records
with a throng of $1,000. The ad.
vance sale was far beyond that OF
any previous All-Star attraction.
After the : lost spirited and best

a secret drill under the towering

the national color scheme Of red,
white and ..lue we're issued to the
squad Of SO. Bud Kerr, Notre Dame
end, whose fractured ankle will
keep him out Of the game, was the
only member Of the cast unable
to participate in the drill.
Johnny Blood, former Green Bay
star who was signed by the Pack
ers to compete in this game only,
was ruled Ineligible. The officials
held that if Blood had been signed
for the season and on the same
basis as other Packers there would
be no objection, but that signing
a player for one game only proba-
bly, would lead to unfair practices
In future games.
The Packers will arrive tomor-
row afte: noon from Green B a y
Wis, where they concluded their
training campaign designed to gain
revenge for their 60 defeat by
the All-Stars in 1897. They will
take a light workout in Soldier

Coach Eddie Anderson OF the ALI

his players He was silent on the
strategy he intended to use, but
indicated he would pour in reserves
once the game got underway.
He may rely upon three half

METZ WINS MEDAL
IN HERSHEY MEET
Chicago Pro Cards 140 To
Edge Out McSpaden In PEA
Qualifying Round

HERSHEY, Pa, Aug. 27.-R-
Dick Metz, of Chicago, n of the
more popular of professional golf
ers, practically wasted two grand
rounds of 69-71 here the last two
days to capture medalist honors in
the qualifying round of the annual
P.G.A. tournament.
For all his dead-eye shooting
through the slanting rain and his
inspired putting OF a w~ater-logged
course, the former Texan received
a medal for his pains and a trophy
for his mantel. When the real
shooting begins tomorrow In the
first two rounds of match play, he
will be starting from scratch, just
like the other 63 who qualified for
the main event.
Metz's two round total Of 40, in
fact, might have the distinction of
being the last in P.G.A. play. Tom
Walsh, president of the body, is
thinking seriously Of abandoning

Pursuing Metz to the wire
through today's steady rain was
Harold (Jug) McSpaden, the old
Kansas boy who now plays out of
Winchester, Mass. He shot rounds
of 70-71-141. Henry Picard, the
local professional who knows every
tuft Of clover, took third place
with 73-69-142.
Today's activity, already dreary
enough because Of the weather, was
saddened further by q late an
tnouncement that Denny Shute had
been taken to the local hospital for
an emergency appendectomy.
Shute, winner of the P.G.A. title
in 1886 and 1887, was out of COM

ailing wrist, and only recently ce1e-
brated his return to the wars by
playing in the Canadian Open. He
Qualified amply the last two days
with rounds of 75-76.
Metz's two days of low scoring
on a course which boasts a par of
70, were distinguished by brilliant,
or lucky, putting. Dick modestly
said it was luck. Yesterday he re-
quired only 20 puts on Is sodden
greens. Today he took 80.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.IR-The

turning back the Chicago White
Sox in 10 innings, 5 to 4. The
victory advanced the champions to
s IL games Of the idle Cleveland
Indians and 2 IL games of the
likewise idle Detroit Tigers.

was sacrificed to third by Tommy
Heinrich. Charley Keller and George
Selkirk were Intentionally passed
by Johnny Rigney to fill the
bases.

into short right to score Rolfe
with the winning run. Rigney was
charged with the defeat and John
ny Murphy, who relieved Spud
Chandler on the mound for the
Yanks after Chandler had been
lifted for a pinch hitter in the
seventh, got credit. for his fifth
victory.
The Sox scored one run in the
second when singles by Wright and
fresh, and a walk filled the bases
and Wright came home on q
double play ball. The Yanks came
back with two runs in their half
on one hit, an error and two walks.

elected from the game by Umpire
George Moriarity.

Appling's sacrifice, and they picked
up another run in the fifth on
hits by John Rosenthal and Joe
