RAIN IS HELP TO INJURED PLATERS New York, June 6. —(INS) —The St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees and other dubs which are handicapped by injuries are profiting by the rain which yesterday held most of the big league teams idle for the second day in succession. The fans arc also getting a good break, for a feast of double-headers is in store for them later in the season. In the only game played yesterday, the Washington Senators trimmed the St. Louis Brpwns, -1 to 1. with the aid of Braxton's good pitching and hornets by Goslin and Reeves. Cleveland, the only club which gave the Yankees a battle when the wezatns of the American league invaded the east, starts a series with the world's champions today. In the National league the Cardinals will try to take second place away from New York; Cincinnati goes to Brooklyn; the Cubs invade Philadelphia ami the Pirates take on the Braves. o Hornsby More Interested In Success Os Braves Than Grabbing Hitting Records Boston, June 6. — (U.R) — Rogers Ih.rnsbys ambition is not to grab all the hitting records within reach, but to see the Braves at the head, or near the'head, of the National League standing. Hornsby now leads the National League batting averages by a safe margin of .418 but the Braves leader admitted yesterday he would rather see it bo down to .250 it the Braves could be near the top. "I tell you truthfully my mind and nty ambition do not run along the line of batting averages,” he said. “What I want to do is to make something out of this ball club.” —o * WITH THE BIG * * LEAGUE STARS * I All eight stars were idle yesterday because of rain. 0YESTERDAY’S HOME RUNS ' Season’s Player and Club Total Gcslin, Washington (1) 6 Reeves, Washington (j) 2 ' The Leaders Ruth 19; Gehrig 11; Hauser 9; Hack Wilson 9; Bissonette 9; Bottomley 9.

Leslie, - who was nominated as tiie Republican candidate for governor at the Republican state convention here on May 24. on the seventh ballot. Leslie ranked fifth in the primary election. ‘‘l am deeply grateful for the opportunity you have given me of leadi ing this crusade against corruption in government,” Dailey told the convention w’hen the cheering was hushed long enough for him to be heard. “The state needs an adminis- ■ nation of common sense and common I h nesty. Only through the election of the Democratic ticket can this be effected.” ' Indianapois, June 6— (INS)—After a forenoon of oratory, devoted to extolling honesty and decency in government as the chief issue in the present state campaign and to denunciation of the ''Jackson-Stephenson'' regime of the present state Republican administration, and to the election of eight delegates-at-large, the ■ Democratic state convention, in sess- , ion at the Cadle tabernacle, this af- ‘ ternoon turned to the consideration jof the platform and the nomination of state officers. The chief task of the convention was the selection, from four leading candidates, of the Democratic nominee for governor. The four candidates for this honor were Frank C. Dailey, of Bluffton; John E. Fredericks, of Kokomo; Earl Crawford, of Milton, and George R. Dale, of Muncie. Platform Is Submitted The platform that was submitted to the convention and which was expected to have smooth sailing carried a law enforcement plank, an anti-or-ganized minority plank aimed at the Ku Klux Klan which was not named, however, and an anti-political corruption plank that stated that the "dominant issue in Indiana this year is common honesty and common decency in state government.” Immediately after the selection of the eight delegates-at-large, the 34 delegates to the Houston, Texas, Democratic national convention met for organization. They re-elected Charles A. Greathouse, of Indianapolis, as national committeeman from Indiana, and Mrs. J. R. Riggs, of Sullivan, as national committeewoman. The speakers who haranged the 1,185 delegates and thousands of spec- , tators who jammed Cadle tabernacle were State Chairman R. Earl Peters, Dan W. Simms, the keynote orator, and Lew M. O’Bannon, of Corydon, permanent convention chaft-man. Mayor L. Ert Slack, of Indianapolis, made a brief address, welcoming the

delegates to the convention. Republicans Are Scored | Indianapolis Ind., June 6 (INS) —* Only through election of a Democratic state ticket next fall may Indiana be redeemed from the taint of political corruption was the chief theme of the three speakers at the opening session of the Democratic state convention in Cadle tabernacle here today. The 1.185 delegates and thousands of spectators heard some of the most bitter demgiciatlons In the party's history, as the orators scored the record of Governor Ed Jackson's administration ami the Republican national policies. State Chairman R. Earl Peters was first to speak. He was followed hy Dan W. Simms, the keynote orator, who yielded to Lew M. O'Bannon, of Corydori, the permanent chairman. "Evidence of unimpeachable character has accumulated to indict the masqueraders who have seized the Republican leadership,” Peters said. “Corruption in every form has become a part of governmental administration. Apostles of corruption are in open march against the integrity of the ballot. A long list of incitements of pubic officials, high and low, culminating in the pleading of the statute of limitations by the governor, leave Lincoln Republicans without I representation in Indiana.” Peters outlined the "new-ideal” agitation within the Republican party and added: "The manipulators responded by elevating from county to district chairmanship. George V. Coffin, erst- j while co-defendant of Governor Jackson. They elected as delegate to the national convention a governor whose resignation had been demanded but whose administration had been indorsed by resolution." Predicting a strenuous campaign. Peters said: “We will carry the fight to the ramparts of intrenched corruption. We will not slacken our march until the citizens of Indiana shall witness the dawn of a new day in simple governmental honesty." Simms, the keynote speaker, spent much of his address in criticism of what he said was the present state of political corruption, but also outlined the national and state policies of the Democratic party. Among the questions the issue of honesty in office involves, according to Simms, are: “Shall bribery and embezzlement and forgery and perjury or murder by those who speak and act with authority for the state or political party be condoned, excused or tolerated?" Simms read much of the Republican state platform and commented with sharp criticism on discrepancies he said he found in that document. HA also reviewed the remarks of the G. O. P. keynote oaators and other speakers at that gathering and voiced the Democratic reply to those assertions. Commenting upon the contention of Republican orators that the party cannot be held responsible for the political corruption of individual members. O'Bannon, the permanent chairman, said: "We think we speak the sentiment of the voters of both parties when we say that there should be party responsibility and the only way to administer a just rebuke for malfeasance in office is to defeat the party that elects objectionable public officials. This will lead to more careful action on the part of all political parties.” Both Simms and O'Bannon scored what they said was the failure of the Republican party to give relief to agriculture, asserting that the farmer obtained no benefit from the protective tariff and that only a few moneyed classes have profited from present prosperity. “After seven years of Republican administration at Washington the farmers have received nothing but broken promises and it seems doubtful whether they will even receive a promise at the Republican national convention at Kansas City next week," O'Bannon said. • Delegates Are Elected Indianapolis, Ind., June 6. — (INS) —

I ( The New York major laagie baseball clubs continue to welcome former ( managers of the St. Louis Cardinals, i tn the past twenty years- the Cards . have had but six managers and four of them have gone to New York Bob O'Farrell, made manager at St. I Louis for a single season and then given a $5,000 raise in salary and rei duced to the ranks is the latest arrival in Manhattan. Roger Brensnahan. originally a Giant; managed the Cardinals from 1909 to 1912, and now is the New York National League club again in the capacity of coach. Miller Huggins, who succeeded Bresnahan in the Mound City, has proved a tremendious success as manager of; the Yankees. Rogers Hornsby, who led Sam Brea-; don's club to its first pennant and world’s championship in 1926. went to the Giants the following year and captained the club during its unsuccessful pennant drive last season. The transfer of O'Farrell to the Giants gave the lie to John McGraw's Hogan was a capable first string major league catcher. When Hornsby was sent to the Boston Braves in exchange for Hogan and Welch, a trade which still puzzles the baseball world despite a plethora of explanations, the Giant's manager insisted that “Shanty" was the man he wanted behind the bat. This spring an opportunity presented itself for New York to obtain the services of O'Farrell. McGraw called Hogan aside and asked him to which club he preferred to be traded. With tears in his honest Irish eyes. "Shanty"

The following delegates-at-large to she Democratic national convention at Houston. Texas, were elected by Democratic state convention here today : Thomas Taggart. Sr., of Indianapolis. f , William H. O'Brien, of ville. L. G. Ellingham of Fort Wayne. Dale J. Crittenberger of Anderson. William Cronin of Terre Haute. Mrs. Samuel M. Ralston. Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall and Mrs. John W.

professed allegiance to the Giants. “All right, me boy," said McGraw "you stay with us." The Giants’ manager then announced that O’Farrell would assist Hogan behind the bat. It has been notceable, however, that O’Farrell’s “assistance” consisted of catching most of the games. Despite his announcement, McGraw it too smart a manager to keep a catcher like O'Farrell on the bench. Miller Huggins of course, has been the most phenomenally successful of former Cardinal pilots. The Yankees have won five pennants in ten season’s under the midget manager’s leadership. Rogers Hornsby proved as great a success with the Giants as he was with ; St. Louis. He was such a success, in fact, that the club had to get rid of him, for he knew more baseball than his bosses. As predicted, the Boston-New York trade was a prelude to the appointment of "The Rajah" as manager of the Braves. Jack Slattery was deposed last month, and Rogers put in his place. A sudden rise in Braves’ stock can be expected at any time now. The change in management of the Boston club, was a tough break for Slattery, but was inevitable. Hornsby did his best to fit into the scheme of things outlined by Judge Emil Fuchs. t£ie club owner, but it was no use. A boll player with Hornsby's brains and knowledge of the National League hardly could be expected to remain subordinate to a manager who knew absolutely nothing abont modern major league baseball.
