Lohrman went to Cincinnati Since reporting to Pittsburgh Ostermueller has pitched some ball games that the Ikxlgers could have used In a big way. In his first start with the Buck, Ostermueller defeated the New York Giants, 9.4. Five days later he went 10 Innings against Chi. cage, only -to have the game end In a 3.3 tie liecause of rain. In his last starting assignment prior to yesterday, he worked eight in. nfngs against the Cincinnati Reds and was not charged with the loss when Bucky Walter* won. 3.2 in 11 frames. Yesterday Ostermueller gained a split for the Bucs with the league leading St. Ixiuis Cardinals. holding them to three hits In the second game to gain a 3.1 victory after Mort Cooper had pitched six hit ball to win the opener, 12-2. The Cards have faced better pitching only twice this year when they were held to two hits. The New York Giants drew within a game of the second place Pirates by winning two from the Boston Brave*.

Republicans Set Convention Stage Opening Session Os Convention June 26 Chicago, June 19.—(VP) —Republican national committeemen and party big shot* are gathering here today confident that this lime their attempt to name a-presidential ticket capable of licking President Roosevelt will be successful. The convention meets June 26. Patform makers will convene June 21, probably under chairmanship of Sen. Robert A. Taft, R.. O. Their toughest problem* will be farm and foreign relations planks. Benefit payments and subsidies challenge party units, largely because of a strong demand for repudiation of both policies. Foreign relations problems center around post-war collaboration in maintaining pexce. A notable division there is between Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, who favors use of force and Gov. John W. Bricker, of Ohio, who Is for international collaboration but against the use of force to maintain peace. Bricker’s presidential headquarter* is o(>en, Campaign manager Roy B. Moore, Ohio publisher, predicts the governor will be nominated on the sixth ballot. But Dewey’u name still figures most prominently in pre-convention polls and speculation. Moore said Bricker's name Would be put In nomination "rain or shine” and It is known that backer* of former Gov. Harold E. Stassen. of Minnesota, intend to propose him. Formal nomination* probably will end there. But Dewey supporters are talking of a first ballot victory tor their man. Three of Dewey’s close ad Isens. New York national committeeman J. Russell Sprague. New York state Republican chairman Edwin F. Jaeckle and Herbert Brownell. Jr., will arrive there today to open "New York” headquarters at the conentlon. Both Jaeckle ami Brownell said that l>ewey would accept the GOP presidential candidacy if nominated. Sprague, however, refused to commit himself. “I think he will accept." Jaeckle, who has long campaigned for Dewey said. ”1 am firmly of the opinion that he would accept." Brownell said. “What else can a good American dor Sprague, Brownell and Jaeckle, It was learned, conferred with Dewey yesterday afternoon but Jaeckle. who has been reported in line to manage Dewey's campaign if he get* the nomination. refu*ed to say who would place the governor's name before the convention. Significantly, the Isloatlonlst Chicago Tribune today gave page one prominence to a dispatch from it* Washington bureau reporting that Republican leaders favoring Dewey hope to put him over on the first ballot. o Man Is Convicted, Wife Is Acquitted Bloomfield.
