mendOus labor vote. Reports
from Cumberland Garrett c0un-
ty indicate that the labor unions
there are quietly waiting for de-
vel0pments and have not as yet
come out openly for him. Reason
for this, apparently, is the fact
that the late Congressman, dur
ing the last three years proved
himself a friend of labor and was
successful in sponsoring laws,
not only for the benefit Of labor
ing men and women but also for
the counties in that section. AS
a result of Congressman ByrOn's
splendid record, the unions there
hesitate to turn against the
Congressman's widow who has
declared herself in favor Of the
program outlined to them by her
late husband.
A unified Democratic party
will support the woman candidate
and this. together with the added
interest OF the women's clubs in
the Sixth District is proving a
terrific barrier to the Republi
can nominees ambition. Then.
too, it is not believed that COP

the efficient organizations led
and directed by the recognized
leaders of the district.

Washington, D. c., May 2.-As
the result of Katherine Byron's
propitious opening rally in Cumber-
land and the belated efforts toward
unity, the prospects of Democra-
tic victory in the special Sixth Dis
trict election on May p, have dis
tinctly improved.
For one thing, the organization
forces, whom Katherine had to beat
to secure the nomination, show no
disgruntled feeling that she snatch
ed the nomination away from them.
Not only have losers Cooley and
Funk volunteered to get in and
pitch, but they are being urged and
coached by Attorney General Bill
Walsh. Furthermore, Cumberland
publisher John J. McMullen, who
used all of his influence to help
Katherine, has healed the breach
which threatened serious trouble
for Walsh's leadership in Western

when one remembers that the
Democrats in this district are
thoroughly organized and, furth-
err. they will have the advantage
OF spirited support from the
women. True, in previous cleo
tions the women have done a
good job, but up until now, their
work has been routine. They
went out and as a matter of habit
organized and worked for the
candidates - all of 'em men. But
it's different this trip - they're

if reports are true, Mrs. Byron
will get more than her share of
votes from that COP stronghold.
The same applies to AIIegany.
Because only two names appear
on the ticket it is predicted that
the vote will be light. If that's
the case it will also be to the
advantage of the Democrats. The
organization can and will get out
the vote because (D the entire
country will have their optics
focused on this election in West

sent to Washington to replace a
supporter of the President.
This is one fight in which both
men and women have much at
stake. 1t isn't a question of
whether or not the candidate is
a man or a woman. After you
have heard all the arguments,
the fact remains that a Democrat
is a candidate for Congress and
it is up to the Democratic Party
to get down to work and bring
out the vote. And when that is
accomplished, victory will belong
not to the women's organization
or to the mems organization, but

Cleveland Nav
Trip DOpesters

MORE than a fair number of
A'A baseball dopesters will be look
ing for alibis next fall should the
Cleveland Indians outdistance the
New York Yankees in the Ameri-
can league pennant race. And
there's good chance that the Oft
predicted neck-and-neck finish will
fail to materialize.
Percentages change too rapidly
during the early part Of the season
to hazard any definite prognostica-
ton, but the way things are shaping
up Cleveland may wind up with q
10 or IL game margin. Much strang-
er things have happened.
Cleveland has the edge in pitch
ing, and that average holds up quite
well in other departments. The Yam
KEGS pitching isn't reliable and, out
side of few consistent clouters,
their hitting is spotty, to say the
least.
The Indians infeld combination,
Boudreau and Mack, is hard to beat.
A fleeing glance at the outstand-
ing teams of the past demonstrates
the Importance of these key posi-
tons. Tinker and Evers, Bancroft
and Frisch, Crosetti and Gordon
they all were instrumental in hold
ing great ball clubs together.
The Indians were very fortunate
to get on to a good start. II they
had floundered at the beginning Of
the season the heckling that fol-
lowed them all last year would have
been increased ten-fold. And most
baseball men agree that Cleveland
was kidded out Of the 1910 pennant
when fans read daily accounts Of
the Cleveland Cry Babies and their
rebellion against Manager Oscar
Witt.
The Indians really were jittery
during the tag-end of last season.
Every baseball jockey, and practi-
cally every American league fan
outside of Cleveland, had them on
the merry-go-'round for week after
week. And the ride wasn't a pleas
ant one.
But even the best heckler can't
keep In form when the Temporary
object Of his hatred is scooting
along, well out tn trent.
All in all, Cleveland has a good
chance to leave the Yankees back
where dust clouds obscure the PEN
nant view.

would report that Notre Dame had
beaten Navy by 90 TO 0, while an
other would announce that Navy had
won, 10 to Z.
If the same thing happened in
golf tournament we would have five
or six different winners. In horse
race we'd have about the same, es-
pecially where they were head and
head to the wire.
4 Search for Sense
OF course, all this doesn't make
enough sense to increase the era
mum capacity of tadpole.
I'm not referring to any occasion
when experts sat on different sides
of the ring. I've seen the same
thing happen when they sat side by
side, and yet finished their count as
far apart as the outposts of ST.
berian frontier.
On the SOOse-Overlin matter the
final count was almost SO per cent
against the verdict of the referee
and the officials. The squawk would
have been blasting if both men
hadn't been SO far down the cham
pionship scale.
When you look back and think of
Stan Ketchel, Harry Greb and
Mickey Walker-among others in
the same division-you begin to get
the main idea of what took place.
l doubt that either Soose or Overlin
could have gone two full rounds
against either of this trio, if they
turned loose. Neither Soose nor
Overlin belong on the same CONT
nent with these old-timers, much
less in the same ring.
They may be both willing young
men. The trouble is that neither
can fight a lick. Comparatively
speaking, they are 81 scorers on the
links playing against Ben Hogan.

the referee, and both judges, pinned

Over IS per cent Of the fight writer's
and the crowd thought Overlin won.
Most Of them thought Overlin won q
moth-eaten contest by half a dozen
laps.
The general indignation would
have been much greater if both men
hadn't been SO far below the cham
pionship middleweight standard.
"As l came out of the Garden"
one smart, old-time fight writer told
me, II saw this sign-'Mickey Walk

rounds"
Back to the Mystery
For over 80 years in fairly close
fights I've seen well-qualified ex-
perts disagree on 10 out of Is
rounds.
I've seen the referee and the two
judges disagree on almost every
round in sending in their autopsies
or their verdicts. I've seen the ref
cree and the two judges fail to
agree on any one round.
Suppose we had this condition in
baseball? At the end of the game

winning by to 2 and another would
have New York winning by to l.

 Any person who may be found driving a car upon the highway after the blackout signel has been sounded will be subject to citation to appear in yourt as violating the traffic rules in that respect.
 Discretion is, however, expected to be exercised and the highway patrol officer issuing the citation should determine whether or not the circumstances under which person may be drivinfg a car are such that an arrest is warranted.
