Louis, Louis, Moe, Oct. 17 (WDP)
Just a short reminder that we danced the curtain on the annual baseball classic today, with the head man ready to take a bow and grab the American beauties, and the poor buffoon will? three punctures in his bladder about to receive the fourth and fatal thirst of affair was called off account of rain and postponed tomorrow.
It was said that nothing could save the St. Louis Cardinals, but those white-haired Boy Souts, J. Pluvius and J. Landis, teamed up in a fast double play and prevented the New York Yankees from defeating their unhappy National League rivals for at least another 24 hours.
the rain which forced postpause of today's game started filling heavily shortly after midnight. Judge Landis, baseball's high commissioner, called the rainstorm not or not to play "rested," stifled cotton in the bell of his room telephone and retired for a night's rest. Daybreak found the rain to fall fairly
Sun out 15 Minutes Later
Fifteen minutes after the fourth game of the 1928 World Series was postponed because of rain, the sun was shining brightly again. But that didn't matter. The day was saved—with a few cold rains and a hard will try it again tomorrow, barring further bad weather.
It is clearing rapidly in St. Louis this afternoon, and the chances are that nothing else will interfere with resumption of the series.
Daybreak found the rain still falling, and the Commissioner still sleeping.
"Wait," said Judge Landis, "and see."
4. 7 Inches Had Fallen When he finally did get around to taking a squint at the weather, only about 4.7 inches of rain had fallen, and mariners in flat boats were cruising around over the spot where Sportsman's park had been located, "Walt," said Judge Laind, "and
Still the rain fell, and the judge procrastinated.
Finally, a cloudburst crashed through the ceiling of the judge's living room and sent Landis scurrying to the roof top, whence he announced that the game was called off on account of rain.

Justice George Sutherland, who his jurisdiction over appeals from the Pacific coast, refused to grant an appeal from the California Supreme Court decision upholding the sentence. This appeal, if granted, would have
pending argument of the case.
Jerome Walsh, who represents Hickman, said after his conference with the justice, that he intended to take his plan before other members of the court, any one of whom can allow such an appeal. Justice Suberkanbayi's refusal does not bar such action, he said.
Walsh applied for formal admission to the supreme court bar today, to give the annual if he is granted.

Political Debate Planned
National Campaign Has Evoked Smith-Hoover Talks
The campaign being waged by the Republican and Democratic parties has influenced the followers of both parties or the campus at the time, but the success has resulted in a challenge to a two-man debate on the question: "Summitt or Hoover for President?" being hurled at the University of Alabama at Smithville, all of Smithville here on the campus.
The challenge was accompanied by the request that Prof. E. C. Buchler, director of forensics, should cooperate with both sides in the selection of speakers and the preparation of the debate.
This debate is to take place Oct. 25 at 8:00 in a place yet to be decided. It will be on a strictly reductive basis and for the sole purpose of getting the votes of Smith and Hoover followers stumping for their men and soliciting votes for their candidates. Before and after the debate a straw vote is to be taken. The count of those votes will be announced at the close of the meeting, and it is probable that these voters will choose the winner of the debate.
This debate is of a type different from those usually held on the campus. It is new and interesting because of its realistic feature, the question which is of immediate interest to most students. The panel or casts a vote in the coming presidential election. The question to be debated is one that is at present being discussed by a large number of people in the United States, and this event has been covered in this vital point which is to be decided 1 November is promising.

Winning of East Is Now Hope of Both Candidates
High Pressure Methods of Campaigning Being Used by Nominees to Get Votes
Washington, Oct. 8.—(UP)—The presidential campaign turned today into its final grilling month.
Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and their first line speakers arranged for high pressure campaining, centering mainly in the East and along the socalled doubtful borderland between North and South.
Winning of the East with its size able electorial vote is now one of the major aims of both Herbert Hoover and Gov. Smith, while both have attention in Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia and the farm belt as well.
The Republicans announced today they have prepared an ambitious speaking titerary for Senator Borah in the East and as far south as North Carolina, while former Gov. Charles Evans Hughes of New York has been engaged to aid the Hoover campaign in the East, chicely in New York.
1 Preceding Smith into Kentucky is the Republican assistant attorney general Mable Walker Wilbrands, who is regarded by Republcan leaders as an important drawing card in view of the controversy stored by her recent appeals to ministers. 2 Right Smith on the prohibition issue.
Some of Hoover's closest advisers have sought to create the impressor — in the East at least—that his stance on prohibition, is open to "Liberal" views. And he has said that "two" implications. Hoover has confined himself to brief utterances to the prohibition subject, and these have been accepted by dry organizations such as the United Nations. At Elizabeth Saturday he pointed out the presidential out meant assumption of a solemn responsibility to enforce prohibition laws. He reported.
Smith, on the other hand, I expected to follow up heavily in the East. His modification views as we forth most recently in his history of "ploying" with his modification stand to capture heavy support in the eastern urban centers, while they insist that the "dry" and "Solid South" will remain in the Democratic column this year regardless of Smith's probabilities.

The School of Business honor roll for the spring semester, 1928, was announced this morning by Dean F. T Stockton.
From the very first we see this Abraham, in the days when he is working as a laborer in the tarpentine forests, spending his scent lunch hours with his books. Even then he found no answer to his question for whom he worked, or in his own companions. As the years go by, the idea becomes something of a religion for Abraham and he frets and clauses under the intolerance that greets his efforts. His great faith in his people assumes the form of an attack against exiled conditions, and when he begins to put himself in the position of a Messiah, leading new tribes out of the wilderness, poor

The Pulitzer Prize Winner of 1927 "In Abraham's Bosom." Is to Be First Play in Fraser Hall Theater
In the play, "In Abraham's Boom," Mr. Green paints an unforgettable picture of the backwoods country of the Cape Fear section of Carolina. The protagonist of the piece is Abraham McCranie, a nigra in whose mind is implanted a great gnawing unrest and an inescapable desire to break free from his bondage that will mean a barrier existence for all of them.
Abraham meets open hostility and hatred.
The poignancy of the eventual and inevitable tragedy that overwhelches him is heightened by the fact that Abraham's own son is actively concerned in the final physical demonstration that drives Abraham to take up a platform and forces his to flee across country for his life. A chance meeting with the white owner of the nearby estate, a few bitter words, a blaze of red-orange, and a hand-to-hand encounter ending in a mortal blow—these are the events that finally bound Abraham to death at the hands townfolk.
Although, quite naturally, the entire story of the play revolves about its leading character, there are a number of other brilliantly elicited men and women in the seven scenes. Little "Puppy" Avery, a boy who is antagonistic to him throughout, is one who stands out, and there are the three members of Abraham's family, his pathetic loyalty but non-understanding wife, his rebellions and good-for-nitmon," said, and old Mac Mack, and older and more dreadful all, of their floodsland human beings.
According to the New York critics, "In Alabama's Boom" is a thoughtful, glowing, painstakingly faithful play that surmounts all mechanical and structural flaws, and the dramatic club feels that it has been extensive in its exploration. A Politzer prize winner, with its original cast for the opening production to be presented in the new Fraser Hall Theater.
