Here's What 1920 Indian Champs Think of
 This 40 Club
By RAY BLOSSER AP Feature Service

CLEVELAND. Sept. 19 - Three old-time Cleveland baseballers offer up proof that the good old days are not alw- IS regarded as the best.
 By a 3 to margin, they calculate the pennant-mad l940 Indians are better all-around ball club than the one which won the Lake Erie citys only American League cham plonship 20 years ago.
 Jack Grarey, an outfielder on the world champion 1920 outfit and Lee Fohl, who managed it Tor several years through part Of the preceding season, feel today's tribes men have it over their famed pred ecesdors. Second -basemar Bi l Wamby. author of the only unas- sisted triple play ever made in a series game, says it isn't so.
 Speaker Won't Speak
 On the sidelines sits Iris Speaker, the immortal center fielder who drove the Indians to the pcnnant in the days when bleacherite and re- served seat fans alike wore caps.
 I've always made it rule not to compare players with these Of 20 years age" says the non-com- initial Speaker, now the Ohio rep resentative of Detroit steel com pany. .-.'.,..',
 .The setup-. was different-therc's the lively ball now and lots of other things-and playing was en- tirely different. So don't think it's a fair comparison.
 The others. however, express very definite ideas.
 'vThe present club looks better to me-" declares Fohl After he left the Indians ne piloted the Boston and St. Louis American League clubs before leaving baseball. Fchl now manages downtown Cleveland filling station, scene of many a base ball argument.
 'The boys now have more good pitching, and I don't know where you'd get a better defensive ball club except for Hal Trosky at first base" Fohl continues There's a spot here or there where they're not so good, but this is the better club. The lively ball has made pitching tougher, and this team has pitching
 A divergent view comes from Wamby, chain grocery company shipping clerk and a part-time scout for the New York Yankees.
 We hit better and got more runs. We had just as good pitch ing staff, with a 30-game winner that year-Jim Bagby-and two 20-game winners, Ray Caldwell and Stanley Coveleski.
 Don't forget, too, that we had a fighting team and you couldn't get away from Speakers leader ship and aggressiveness. We were just as good in the field, just as good behind the bat and in the box, and our hitting was lot better"

president of the Women's National
Democratic Club, at the special
summer study group meeting yes
terday at the club.
Mrs. Brown, who was a member
Of the Platform Advisory Commit
tee at the convention, spoke en-
Enthusiastically of the work done by
the women delegates and Of their
success in achieving an equal rep
resentation plank. She described
how each woman on the Advisory
Committee made two-minute
speech, sticking to the two
minutes" Comparing the various
planks submitted by the woman and
man members, she said the funda-
mentals were much the same.
The women were organized and
sure of themselves" she asserted.
"They we're not hysterical or emo
tional and, following the leadership
of Mrs. Roosevelt, their work was
non-partisan and for the good Of
the country"
Replies to Criticism.
Relative to criticism directed by
many observers against the con-
vention, Mrs. Brown declared that
disorder and booing from plant
ed group in the gallery was not in
the least indicative of the splendid
work going on"
She praised Senator Barkley, who,
she said, ran the convention with
the greatest democratic spirit" and
deplored many reports which ap-
peared in various papers. She par
ticularly challenged the statements
Of a few columnists as unjustifled
and even cruel"
Criticism of Mr.. Roosevelt for
naming his own candidate for the
vice presidency was answered by the
club president. who declared that it
was an accepted rule for Presidents
to choose candidates for the vice
presidency and added: "Mr. Willkie
named his candidate for the vice
presidency and why shouldn't Mr..
Roosevelt?"
Tells Of Lighter Side.
A lighter side Of the convention
was described by Mrs. Brown, who
agreed with reports that mo con-
vention had ever produced so many

to "eat properly" and related anus
