CHICAGO CUBS ON ROAD TRIP Cubs’ Pennant Hopes Hinge On 16-Day Tour Os Circuit New York. Aug. T7 (U.R) Another thrilling September dusli to the wire seemed in prospect today for the National league. The Chicago Cubs and the New York Giants were certain to he in it and the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates also might crowd in. The Cults have the wabbles and are rapidly squandering their lead. They've lost eight out of their last 14 games and their lead has been trimmed to four games. They hit the road today for 16 days and many a Cub team of the past has gone to pieces playing abroad with a pennant in sight. The Giants have perked up. Mel Ott has made the infield. The i return of Dandy Dick Bartell at shortstop has put life in the club. Without him the Giants are as dead as last Sunday's newspaper. New York's starting hurlera have completed 13 out of their last 18 games. Only two Cub pitchers have gone the route in the last 10 games. Even the Yanks have hit the skids. They did the unheard of by losing three in a row to the last-place Athletics — the first three-game series they’ve lost all season. One fan. playing a hunch, won $560 by betting $lO the A’s would sweep the series. To bolster the Yanks' wobbling pitching staff Ivy Paul Andrews has been landed via the waiver route from Cleveland. He's the only pitcher to shutout the Yanks this season. It's a mystery why the Indians didn't use him more frequently. With yesterday an off-day the only development was the signing of Jimmy Dykes to a two-year contract to manage the Chicago White Sox in 1938 and 1939. Dykes took over a last-place outfit and by constantly instilling the will-to-win into a gang of mediocre players accomplished miracles with them. He should get a prize for doing the most with the least material. More than half his team are castoffs. o Gomez Hurls Shutout Over Senators Today New York, Aug. 17 —(U?) —Vernon (Lefty) Gomez, star Yankee j southpaw, choked back grief e-er his mother’s death today and went in to pitch an 8-0 shoutout r.ver Washington that ended the Yankee's losing streak. Gomez was told of his mother’s death just before the game, first of a double header, began. o Watches Once Small Clocks Watches originally were small clocks and were worn hung from the girdle because they were too large for the pocket. ♦ ♦ Today’s Sport Parade | (By Henry McLemore) I • « Wichita, Kas.. Aug. 17. — (U.R) — Being nothing more than a few odds and ends -found sealed in a 3.2 beer bottle, floating along the heat waves: Many of the better hitters playing here in the National semi-pro baseball tournament have critized the stance Carry Nation employed when leading the league in hatchet swinging •. . . Carry, they said, could have hit well over .600 if she had not choked the handle and had not kept her foot in the bucket . . . the water bucket, of course . . . Having seen pictures of Carry during my stay in Wichita I understand why she liked to tee off on those mirrors . . . The semi-pro tournament, which was started on a rather insecure shoestring three years ago, has grown into hip boot size . . . Sporting goods manufacturers credit the brainchild of suave Ray Dumont with lifting their yearly sales by $2,000,000 ... and to show that he is no money grabber, brother Dumont opened his books to me and revealed that he netted but $l,lOO for himself last year. The tournament is proving a God-send to former major tfnd minor league bail players . . . not quite good enough for the fastest company, they find a perfect home with the semi-pro clubs . . . When the baseball season ends the boys keep right on working with the companies who back the teams . . . The youngest team in the tournament is the painters outfit from Hollywood . . . the average age of the players is 17 . . . the oldest team —and maybe that's the answer to its success is the Duncan Cementers from Duncan, Okla. . . . The Duncans are the defending champions, and will average around 34 or 35 . . . Every man on the club has played in one league or another, and most of them in the majors.

PARTY LEADERS r (CONTINUED FKOMJPAOJEjDNIE) convention at French Lick Aug. 27 , and 28. It appears that there will be no public announcement of the sen-, ate nominee, such as there was in the revelation of Townsends opposition to Van Nuys. Instead there will be a gradual feeling out, with the administration leaping . onto a carefully constructed band ' wagon for the favored candidate at the psychological moment several months hence. The idea that Townsend and the party leadership might retreat in view of Van Nuys’ enigmatic promise to run rar “re-election | was ridiculed by Democratic leadi ers here. So was the suggestiop ' that Indiana Democrats might seek ! to “kick Van Nuys upstairs” to a federal judgeship. First, Townsend and his aides : have gone too far “out on a limb” 1 now to turn hack and hold the rei spect of the organization. Van : Nuys past affronts to the organization thus would be unpunished and lead to further defections in the future. Second, organization i leaders are convinced that Van ■ Nuys cannot win as an independ- ■, ent without any organization and ■ with financing which at present \ simply is non-existent compared i to the immense patronage and wari chest of the statehouse. !

ed the party leadership. Democratic leaders appear not 1 to be conyerned with the Republicans in the 1938 campaign at pres ent, but are chiefly desirous of naming a senatorial nominee who will hold the organization intact, consequently there has been a reconsideration of potential candidates to permit the choice of one who will meet the widest possible organization acclaim. Lieutenant-Governor Henry F. Schricker, for whom a minor boom was launched about two weeks ago, | , is reported to have been ruled out. Earl Crawford, chairman of the | state highway commission, is said to be too dry to reconcile all elements. Sam Jackson, Fort Wayne lawyer, still is very much in the run ning, despite the opposition of Earl Peters, former state chairman and present federal housing adminis- ■ ] trator for Indiana. Alex Gordon, state labor leader I and member of the state unemployI merit compensation board, has ap- ] peared as a new possibility. But regardless who the new sen-, atorial nominee is. the statehouse leadership is determined he will start the 1938 campaign with a strong majority of the Democratic organization firmly pledge to him both in the primary and fall elec-! tion. o ST.

NAME STUDENT AS MURDERER College Student Sought For Murder Os Coed Sweetheart Berea. Ky . Aug. 17 JU'® George E. Wells. 20-yeai-old Beira college student-poet, was named in a murder warrant today for the death of lii« coed sweetheart. Opal Sturgell. 19. shot from ambush as she strolled the campus "lover's

lune” with another suitor. Wells disappeared after the | shooting Sunday night. Chief Eail T. Hayes said Wells had tried to get the girl to walk with him less than an hour earlier. The warrant was signed by Marion L. Stargell, Houckville. Ky. the girl's father. Students and officials of the famed mountain college. « ( here matriculation requirements are exceptionally high and two hours work daily is required as part of tuition payment, were amazed al indications Wells was a killer. They knew him as a quiet, retiring sophomore who wrote poetry and was majoring in English, was well liked by all but mad.- no intimate friends. Miss Sturgell, a pretty blond -. was considered l>y classmates a ' "typical coed" who studied hard. ' had a few dates and was popular with both men and women. College oflicials recalled, however. that Miss Sturgell complain- • ed last fall that Wells was bothi ering her with unwelcome attentions and he was reprimanded by Dean T. A. Hendricks. Police Chief Hayes said the dean ] told him Miss Sturgell accused Wells of threatening her then but I the young poet denied it. Miss Sturgell attended a school box supper with William Anderson, 19. another student. Sunday i night. Wells met them and asked I to see Miss Sturgell alone but she refused. A short time later Anderson ! and Miss Sturgell strolled down the campus "lover's lane." A man ’gaped from behind shrubbery, I pumpeu tilree snots into the girl s ' breast, and fled. She died in the | college hospital. Anderson said he believed the assailant was Wells. Berea college, richly endowed , and famed for its unusual currii culuni, is headed by William J. I Hutchins, father of Robert M. Hutchins, noted young president of the University of Chicago. Berea's enrollment consists principally of students of little means from the surrounding mountain ' country. o SENATE OPENS - ?e.

"At the moment America is free, free in all matters relating' to education and civil rights. In I our free America, with the Supreme Court above political dictation. bias, and bigotry, we worship God according to the faith of our fathers. We work for our daily bread without fear of racial discrimination. "But what will happen if a halfdozen men of the mental bias of the nominee should be seated on the bench? Is it likely that the remodeled court would deal tolerantly and generously with religious and racial questions as it has done in the past? “Neither the President nor the nominee can complain if we scan with greatest care the character, attitude of mind, and past record of a man who has been named to ' the group that determines the destinies of a people presently free.” Copeland recalled that Black had “been a leader against all efforts to pass an anti-lynching bill. Naturally one wonders what Mr. Justice Black would do were another . Scottsboro case appealed to the Supreme Court. Would he face such a case with impartiality and i sincere desire to do justice to ! Negroes?” ! "I say now’ of the new deal, that i if it must depend for its validation ; upon decisions participated in by • members or supporters of this unAmerican, un-Christian, and ttn- ! godly organization, the Ku Klux ; Klan, it must be apparent to the i country that the new deal is found--1 ed in iniquity.” Copeland’s voice rose to a dram- ! atic crescendo as he launched into I his appeal. "I can hardly restrain my tears," he declared in quavering tones. !”Oh! Mr. President, I beg of you : to withdraw this name and send us another, that of a new dealer if you must, but one free from the taint of religious and racial prejudice. “In what I have said there has i been no thought in my mind of reflecting upon the great state of Alabama. or upon Mr. Black in his i capacity as a United States sen--1 ator for that state. ■ "It is our duty to preserve the
