Lefty Tyler, famous southpaw, and Catcher O’Farrell of the Cubs, will be loaned to the Martonites. Babe Ruth, home run king, will call on Harding about the middle of Sep tember, bringing bls wife. It was planned to have him play in the came against the Cubs, but he could not arrange to be here. , Harding’s warning against women segregating themselves into political parties because of sex prejudice was taken here today as the beginning of a j drive on the National Woman's Party. He urged them to come into the old parties. This advice, and his declara » * tion that Theodore Roosevelt would have been the republican candidate i this year, had he lived, were last minute departures from his speech given . out in advance.
