CHICAGO WHITE SOX IN SLUMP Sox,After Sensation Start, Must Fight To Stay In First Division Chicago, Aug. 13 —<U.R>—Demorr*fe.o<i and badly crippled, the Chimen White Sox today open a long jjjLw stand which will determine ■‘W'H*"t.lithey will finish in the Ur*t division or take a none dive tnward the American league celTwo weeks ago they were less than live games out. of first place; their pitching was just about as good as any in the league, and they were fighting, hustling and hitting like champions. But today the Sox are 12 games behind Detroit and six behind the Yankees. They are only one percentage point ahead of the fourth place Boston Red Sox and two and one half games above the fifth place Indians. The White Sox have lost 11 of their last 12 games. What’s the reason for the sudden slump? Injuries and two much pressing. As soon as the Sox discovered they were serious pennant contenders, they tried too hard. The hitting fell off and the pitching slumped but injuries were what really wrecked the c’ub. Al Simmons and manager Jimmy Dykes were on the bench with injuries when the losing streak started. Mule Haas attained a ligament in his wrist. George Vernon Washington, the rookie who. had taken Simmons' place, was pound-

Rip Radcliff developed a kidney Infec- .; lion which slowed him down. | Hut the crowning blow came when Zeke Botiura, hard hitting first baseman, injured a shoulder, and was forced to quit. , The series of setbacks was reflected immediately in the batting averages; only Tony Piet, who is pounding the ball a.' .313, and Radcliff. who is hitting .303. are in the ‘ select .300 circle. Bonura is down to .297; Simmons Is hitting only H. 276 and Hayes is batting .289. ' Washington’s chances to raise his ' average above .300 were hurt when ‘ he was injured. He is hitting .298. "j Tile first team the Sox meet is 1 Boston. If Dykes can win this i'series it should go far to get his players back in a victory mood. ’ Losing the series, on the other I hand, probably would mean the I start of the tailspin which count- , less fans have predicted for the Chicagoans ever since their startl- - ing spurt at the opening of the . season. Another factor against the Sox during their present home stand is that they have three double headers scheduled with the Athletics and then must play eight games in four days with the New York Yankees.

There is little difference in revenue possibilities between the bill passd by the house on Aug. 5 to the one reported by the senate finance committee yesterday. The house bill could be expected to raise $250,000,000 tn new revenue and the senate bill $249,000,000. This is barely enough to run the government for a fortnight and represents a sharp recession from Saturday’s finance committee decision to make the measure a Teal revenue raiser. The main differences between the house and senate bill are in the inheritance tax and surtax features. The house bill imposed new in- ■ heritance tax schedules which the ■ senate committee struck entirely ■ from the bill. ; The- house measure increased i surtaxes at the $50,000 level, but the senate bill retained the present surtax rates up to $1,000,000. From $1,000,000 on the surtaxes in the senate version would be in--5 creased, going up to 75 per cent. The present surtax rate stops at ■ 59 per cent, which is applicable f to all incomes of $1,000,000 or i more. o I Texas Feed Crop Large College Station, Tex. — (U.R) — - Dean E. J.

HOOVER AGAIN IN LIMELIGHT Ex-President One Os Outstanding Candidates For Nomination Washington, Aug. 13 (U.R) Political observers remarked striking similarities today between th,, situation of Herbert (’lark Hoover in August. 1927. when he was seeking presidential nomination and August. 1935. During the year before the 19.8 convention at which he was nominated. Hoover wav front runner in a pack of would-be successors to the then President Coolidge. Ami the rest of the pack had made common cause against him on the unimpeachable theory that if Hoover could be stopped some one of the other aspirants would win the prize. History is repeating itself today at least to the extent that mention of Hoover as a 1936 candidate causes many of his party leaders to suffer acute diecomfort and he is undoubtedly in the first flight of presidential possibilities. As in the case before the 1928 convention, the campaign (rack is open to all comer* and the mtn who runs (he fastest and the longest will represent the Republican party for four years, either in the White House or unofficially as titular head of the GOP. The factor confusing to the anti Hoover group—a numerous body j —is that they do not know whether the former president is a can- i didate for re-nomination ami there is no way for them to find out. Hoover's intimates expect him to continue his broadsides against th? new deal. They predict he will complete before convention time next June the final plank in a platform upon which the Republicans con'd present a candidate—possibly Hoover. But all that ks known definitely about the Hoover return to politics is that it took place six months ago and has continued with increasingly advantageous publicity. In a surprise statement last j February Hoover returned to the i political arena with a «-all for restoration of the gold standard, 1 a pegged dollar at the present 59.06 cents value, and adoption of the policy of specie payments. That is a gold standard plan under I which the metal may be purchased with money but onlv in bars val- | ; ued at some hundreds or thou- ! sand* of dollars. It would disIN HS NORTHERN Cr $ /ioo WWc' ROUNDTRIP M s t ROM ■ " DECATUR ■ Lv. Decatur 8:35 P. M. (C.S.T.) 1 Aug. 16.

[courage the hoarding of small sums In gold because only the well to do could raise the money ' lor an ingot. I Republican leaders hereabouL were cold or critical of Hoover's I olltical revival. He left WashJ ington on March 4, 1933, shaken laud weeping. A group of Republican senators shortly got word in Palo Alto that in plans for rebuilding the party for 1936 Hoover, did not figure ns a nonii ■ nee. For almost two years he was ! silent except for magazine articles which did not directly attack the new deal or n< w dealers. Typical of the chilly reception accorded Hoover's reappearance on the political acene last February ware the words of Ogden L. Mills, the Hoover treasury secretary. Asked for comment on the j gold statement. Mills said: "That is very interesting. But, I really 1 can't comment at this time.” Senator Charles L. McNary, R *• publican senate leader, was approached for comment later as Hoover widened his attack to include other new deal experitnen
