ARMY ELEVEN TO MEET STANFORD Ry Frank Getty VP Sports Editor. Now York. June s.—Within 48 hours of the conclusion of its farewell athletic engagements with the navy, the Army announced a football coup wlfieh gives the cadets the greatest schedule ever arranged for a service eleven. On December 1, West Point's 1928 team will meet Boland Stanford at the Polo Grounds, New York. The game not only marks the first Invasion of the east by a football team from a Pacific coast university, but climaxes a season in which the Army will meet Southern Methodists, Harvard, Yale, DePajuw. Notre Dame and Nebraska. The cadets’ schedule Is perhaps the most ambitious ever undertaken by i a team ranked on a par with the best | college elevens. Leland Stanford, ou I the other hand, will be meeting all | the leading teams of the far west, i The climatic game on December 1 may decide, in a sense, the national ' championship for the 1928 gridiron season. Here are the schedules of the two ' elevens for next fall: Date Army Stanford i Sept. 29- Boston U. Olympic Club i Oct. 6—Southern Meth. Oregon Oct. 13—Providence Idaho , Oct. 27 —Yale Fresno State Nov. 3 -DePauw Southern Calif Nov. 10—Notre Dame Santa Clara Nov. 17 -Carleton Washington Nov. 21—Nebraska California Dec. I—Stanford Army o SMITH LIKELY TO HAVE 600 VOTES ON FIRST BALLOT (COVTIVt'En FROM PAGE ONF.I who personally are opposed to Smith, are convinced, however, that be is to be nominated, and see a possibility of getting back their state patronage, of having their political associates and friends appointed judges, district attorneys and postmasters. They figure that the buttered side of their bread perhaps may be more distasteful but might be more healthful. They are therefore unwilling to participate in a vigorous contest which would be necessary to prevent Smith’s nomination. Only two groups are standing out against Smith, one led by friends of Senator Reed of Missouri and the other connected with the Simmons- , Heflin activities. Reed's friends have become embittered by developments during the campaign. They refuse to concede Smith the nomin- 1 at ion and personally believe they have ’ not been treated right In the cam- 1 paign. They say they will go into the ! convention to cast their ballots for 1 Reed to the end. The Simmons-Heflin group now has 1 started working for the nomination of ( Cordell Hull, representative from : Tennessee. Their group is entirely distinct from Reed’s. Hull has lined 1 up a native son delegation of 24 in his home state and Senator Simtnons 1 hopes to give him a majority of the 1 24 North Carolina delegates who are to be selected June 12. , There is a third group, built around the uninstructed delegation in Texas, which the Sim- ions-Heflin group , hopes to line up tor Hull. Reed’s frie: !- ..ay his vote will go over 100 votes on the first ballot. He has Missouri's inst acted 35 and about 30 known unlnstructed delegates in Illinois. Pennsylvania, Utah and West Virginia, There are seven pt eminent native I son candidates in the race. Ritchie of i

» U44IUUUIV .J 111 VUU lIIVC, XllltlllC Maryland, Pomerene of Ohio, Ayers - of Kansas, Woollen of Indiana, Hitchcock of Nebraska, George of Georgia and Hull. Smith is expected to get j Ritchie’s 16 delegates any time he i wants them. His managers also : claim a majroity of Pomerene’s 48 I from Ohio. Hitchcock's friends say , thee are 8 Smith delegates and 1 fori Heed among his 16. Ayer’s 20 are unknown quantities. Smith leaders do not look for help there. They do believe the Indiana Woollen delegation coni ! furnish some votes for them in a pinch, but concede that I George s 28 from Geotgia are lost to j them. T! i ' t.-acted andhloubtful bloc] mw a mot at? to about 134, including i tin it i..>ni Texas and 24 from Alabama. Smith leaders do not expect any of the Texas or Alabama votes. They do expect half of the uninstructed 20 from Oklahoma and more than half of the 18 from Arkansas. With these figures they can count nearly 700 votes for Smith. They do not seem to be worrying about the last 34. 0 THE BIG FIVE Players G. AB R H HR PC.

, SISLER MAKING GOOD IN BOSTON By Lea Conklin. INS Staff Correspondent New York, June S.—George Slsler, once the kingpin of American league playerti. has made good as first baseman of the Boston Braves with ti celerity unlooked for even by his fondest admirers and probably no %uch occurrence has tickled fandom's fancy as much since Walter Johnson got Into his first world's series. Apparently no longer bothered by sinus trouble, peerless George has I been batting at the healthy rate of 419 sh the National league, getting at least one hit Itfi* every game. He i couldn't hit .100’with Washington. His playing has “made” the Braves, aroused new Interest in the fortunes ! of the team, vindicated the managerial Astuteness of Rogers Hornsby, and Inspited both the former St. Louis , rival* to greater efforts. Nearly every ■time the sizzler gets on base, the 1 Rajah drives him home. Yesterday Hornsby's eighth bonier lof the season, w-ith Slsler on base. 1 staked the Braves to a 5 to 3 win lover the Reds In the ninth. Hornsby has been on a home run spree, having dellveted five circuit clouts in the past week.

Dressen and Ep Rixey also hit homers for the Reds. Rlxey’s was his first of the season and he is now one ahead of his last season's record, if memory does not fail us. In the only other game which jupe , pluvlus permitted to be played, the . Athletics trounced the White Sox. 6 . to 3, Grandpa Ty Cobb socked a triple and a single, driving in three runs, > and boosted his batting average ; above .300. o WALTHER LEAGUE TEAM VICTORIOUS The Emmanuel Walther league basei ball team of east of the city, opened its home season Sunday, with a win I over the fast Wayne Nationals, of ' Fort Wayne. R. Bleeke was on the mound so rthe locals and was in millseason form, allowing only four hits, . three of which were bunched in the ninth Inning and netted the visitors their only two runs. Bleeke set back ■j,ten batters via the strike-out route, ' while : his teammates pounded out I eighteen safeties for a total of eight runs. Next Sunday, the Leaguers will meet the fast Preble team at Preble 'Any fast team wishing to book a game with the locals should write to K. H. Klenk. 3505 Weisser Park. Fort Wayne I Indiana.
