FeIIer in Same Spot

By GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, Sept. 81 (NANA).
The position of Bob Feller holds
through these waning days Of pen
nant playing takes me back exactly
80 years when the two other great
pitchers. Big Ed Walsh and Christy
Mathewson, found themselves on an
even hotter spot.
The two pennant races were just
as stormy as the American League
race is today.
Christy Mathewson was the spear
head of the Giant cause. Matty
that season had VOL more than 80
ball games. He had spent more
than a few hours in the bull pen
warming up for emergencies. He
had saved several other late-inning
crises.
Then it came to the final test
Giants against the Cubs-in the
famous play-off.

upon these words: Provided,

it is under this law, commonly
termed the Steele act, that the
state liquor board licenses the
so-called beer parlors where in

are for Mr.. Roosevelt, and they
apparently reflect the viii of
the people.
Whether the president will
seek or accept a denomination
is a mystery. There is evidence,
however, that he is willing.
According to National Commit
teeman Pat Nash Of Illinois,
and Mayor Ed Kelly Of Chicago.
they told Roosevelt month
ago that they intended to enter
his name in the Illinois presi-
Dental primary-and he voiced
no objection.
Should the president refuse to
run-and many believe he will
the Democratic politicos have
settled on two alternative tickets
which they regard as their best
bets. Indeed, they have al
ready picked the Republican
slate which they expect TO
combat.
Barring 4 Roosevelt renomina-
ton, democratic veterans be-
lieve that their strongest COM
bination would be Secretary Hull
for president and Attorney
General Jackson for vice presi-
dent. The principal argument
against the secretary Of states
candidacy is the unpopularity OF
his reciprocal trade treaty pro-
gram in the oil. mining and cat
tie country. Should he lose
that battle on Capitol Hill, or
even IL the vote should be close.
it would probably bar him from
serious consideration.
In that event the democratic
leaders would give deep Thought
to a ticket composed of Senator
Wheeler of Montana for second
place and Postmaster General
Farley for second spot. 1t il
not believed that Jim. Catholic,
could be teamed with an elderly
man like Vice President Garner
or Secretary Hull. The G. o. 2.
could-and probably would
raise the whispering issue that
only a heartbeat stood between
the presidency and a Roman
Catholic. The argument would
not be 30 effective with the
youngish and virile Wheeler at
the head of the ticket.
Rightly or wrongly the demo-
cratic strategists figure that
the Republicans will finally set
tie on Bricker of Ohio and
Dewey of New York, but they
can't make out now who will be
the head candidate. Anyway,
that's the consensus of the po-
