RALLY IN THE EIGHTH
GAVE LOCALS LEAD
IVleadows 'Is Fired by Ump,
Then Gallia Is Replaced
by Eppa
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
After tic Phils had gained the lead,
f-4, by an eight-inning rally the Giants
tied the score in the ninth framo of to
day's first game, so that an overtime
bnttle was put on.
"With two men on in the ninth. Gallia
was taken out nnd Eppa Rixey went in.
On a wild pitch by the big southpaw,
the scoro was tied.
A wild pitch which bounced off Pep
Young's leg almost got Meadows, the
slugging pitcher, into o lot of trouble' in
the opening frame. Two men hnd been
retired and Meadows bounced tho ball
off Young's undcr-plnion. Then Frisch
beat out a hit in front of tho pinto and
Big George Kelly walked, packing the
pillows. '
Things looked squally for tho home
folks at this juncture and especially
when Benny Kauff stepped up. Meadows
tried hard to get tho ball over, but
Pete Harrison, who Was guessing behind
the plate, couldn't sco it that way.
Benny soon hnd three balls called on
him nnd tho fans were all set for some
hard luck.
However, n couple, of strikes were
wasted over the platter and then Kauff
hit tho ball. It' bounded between first
and second nndRawlins, after a scn
sntlnnnl stop, got the ball to first ahead
of the runner.
Williams Is Doubled
That mado everybody feel better and
the Phils stepped into the picture. After
Hawlins died on n floater to Kauff.
Williams singled. That wallop meant
nothing, however, for Cnscv Stengel
lined to Sicking nnd Cy was doubled off
lirst.
Meadows was having considerable
difficulty with his control, for in the
second inning he got himself in nuother
hole but was lucky enough to get by
without being Scored upon. After two
were out, nnd Barnes wus roosting on
first, Lee passed Burns and Bancroft,
clogging the runways. A hit would have
made things mighty unpleasant, but nil
Young could do was hit to Rawlins and
get thrown out.
Youn&protested the decision .-buUJm-pirc
Hart said ho guessed right and the
umpire won the argument, as usual.
Things picked up a little-in the Phils'
iiart of the second. Mcuscl wnlkcd nnd
went to second on Fletcher's pretty
sncrlficc. Gene Paillette socked a
single to right and Irish Mcuscl came
in with the first score,', amid cheers of
the multitude.

ever, when lint hit nto ,jouue j,jny
Meadows is Chased
There was more excitement in the
third. Pete Harrison, who was having
u terrible time of it behind the nlnte.
missed a couple of strikes and .Meadows
protested long and loud. He told Pete
n few things nbout himself and nil his
frieuds and the limps' handed him tho
tinware.
This cnused Gavvy Cravnth to scratch
his gray dome, nnd he finally sent Bert
Gallia to the mound to do something.
He iiasssd Smith, which filled the sacks.

floor. Tho fire is believed to have be
gun in the third-story apartment of
Mrs. George W. Pickle, wjio went to
mo storo ana leu n gas stovo ourning,
slio snid later. How the fire started

Mrs. David Baird Robinson, whose
home is on Larchwood street, and over
looks the rear of the apartment house,
saw the flames nnd told her husband,
who is n nephew of Senntor David
Baird, Camden's most potent political
lender.
Baird was quick to turn in nn alarm.
Then lie entered the npartment house
to get the families out. He ran from

by the smoke of the rapidly spreading
fire.
On the second floor of 415 " Vine,
occupied by William Carey nnd, his

Georgia Contest Argued
Before Committee
By tho Associated Press
San Francisco, June 20. Pqstmaster
General Burleson, who has arrived
hero, declared that he and the entire
Texas delegation would vote for tho
nomination of William G. McAdoo.
The action of the Republican conven
tion in ndopting a platform which, ho
said, concealed its attitude on the lead
ing questions confronting tho country
would not bo repeated In San Francisco.
Tho Dcmocrntlc convention, ho pre
dicted, would define its position posi
tively nnd emphatically. Ho would not
forecast its attltudo regarding a
liberalization of the Volstead act, labor,
or tho Irish question, but said that
whatever action might bo taken the
party would nbldo by the will of the
majority.
Revives Wet Question
Mr. Burleson's nrrivnl revived In
terest in his recent public cnstigatlon of
certain provisions of the dry enforce
ment net as "absurd. '
The elusive McAdoo boom has bobbed
serenely into sicJit, despite Mr. Mc
Adoo's personal efforts to chloroform it
some days ago. The movement for nom
inntlnn nf tho former treasury secretary
took the shape of cards appearing in hat
bands of delegates hero and there with
the legend, "Mnc'll do." '
Tho influx of delegations added
hourly to the physical and ctfnvcr
sationnl congestion in hotel lobbies. Out
of the din arose whnt some observers
professed to recognize ns a spurt of
nomination sentiment toward Governor
Cox, of Ohio.
It sent tho army of news writers on
the ground (scurrying about in search of
its source. The best they could make
of it wns that the coming of several
delegations ulrcady in the Cox column
hnd added just that many to the C
tnlkers with nothing definite to indi
cate added votes for him later.
Plungo Into Georgia Rov
Tho Democratic National Committee
plunged directly into the Georgia con
test when it met today. Clark Hon ell,

Senator T. W. Hardwlck. head of the

As this contest wns being honrd
friends and opponents of Scriator Jnme
A. Reed, who claimed a seat lib n dele
gate from tho Fifth Missouri district,
were busy liulng up their forces. The
national comniittee"'plnnned to hear the
Reed case after tho Georgia contest was
decided.
Although only twenty-eight votes
were involved in the Gcorgin case, the
Palmer delegation is composed of fifty
six men, each with one-linlf vote. The
opposition, known ns the Hoke Smith
Tom Wntson group, brought n delega
tion of thirty-two, of whom twenty
four were district dclegntes with one

M'ADOO ONLY CHANCE
FOR BOLD CAMPAIGN
WomaVi Voter Proves to Be In
tricate Complication in Se
lecting Issues of 1920
By CLINTON W. GILBERT "
Copvrioht, loto. bv rufcKe Ltdoer Co
Ban Francisco, Juno 20. This Is a
conservative convention. It is a piece
cut from the Rnme cloth ns tho Re
publican convention at Chicago. The
delegates as they gather say to the men
who are likely to mako the platform:
"For heaven's snko cut out tho Issues."
If anybody hoped that tho Democratic
party was going to be like the youth
"who bore 'mid snow nnd ico a ban
ner with tho strange device, Excelsior,"
ho probably will turn his back sadly
upon San Francisco and watt for tho
committee of forty-eight to do its work
at Chicago.
If the nomination of Harding at Chi
cago was a challenge that challenge Is
not likely to be necoptcd at San Fran
cisco. 'Tho Democrats in convention
assembled would like to havo n littlo
Harding of their own. They have hnd
their Wilson and they aro discontented.
Thoy want no more big men presidents.
They would like to havo tho Murphys
and Taggarts and Fred Lynchs con
sulted habltualiy by the President.
But they have not the full confidence
tho Republicans hnd. They feel that
there are votes to bo got by making a
bolder appeal to the popular imagina
tion than tho Republicans made and
they see tho necessity of getting thoso
votes in order to win. It was this con
sciousness that gave Hoover his strength
In Democratic circles while his political
intentions were still doubtful and it is
this which gives Mr. McAdoo tho
strength he still has, but if the dele
gates were as free to consult their own
inclination as the Republicans felt they
were they would name a colorless can
didate upon an average platform,
Even Nebraska Conservative
A curious illustration of this con-1
scrvatism Is the resulVjn Nebraska. Mr.
Bryan won a victory in Nebraska. On
the liquor iwrne Mr. Bryan has rf con-sidenthje-
part of the Nebraska delega
tion with him ; on the government own- .
crship of railroads and 'on his other
radical proposals Mr. Bryan has per
haps one Nebraska vote that he can con
trol beside his own. And Nebraska Is
nn old radical state, long led by Mr.
Rryan, and the ancient home of popu
lism.
The convention wants to be conserva
tive. It believes that the country is
conservative. It Is aware of tho labor
tote and of the radical farm voto
of the Northwest. It needs that vote.
Rut it means to offer no more iu thd
way of liberalism than is barely neces
sary to catch that vote. That is its
mood. It may be betrayed by its de
sire to win into making the bid in the
person of its candidate. That is incon
sistent with its mood. Thnt is tho ono
chance of anything other than a con
hcrvathe defensive program.
What San Francisco at this moment
promises is a second conservative party
differing from tho Republican party
substautiallv only upon tho League ot
Nations. When tho plntform making
nnd the candidate nnming is done here.
President Wilson is likely to have had
his way and make the league tho onl?
issue of the campaign. The Demo
crats will bo reduced to defending the
Wilson administration issuo which will
develop on the high cost of living, for
exomple. in the process of attacking
and defending the Wilson administra
tion. But tho only clear issue that Is
likely to bo created here In San Fran
cisco will be the League of Nations,
Wets Lose Ground
For a Democratic convention It Is
a tamo convention. There is not a
fight in sight. The wets and drys were
going to fight it out bitterly. Hut as
the delegates arrive there is an over
whelming desire to agree upon some
words which will mean nothing upon
tho vital issue of liberalizing tho Vol
stead net. If anybody is going boldly
nfter tho wet voto on the ground that
the extreme provisions of the existing
law are an unwarranted invasion of
personal libertv, it will have to be a
third part. The wet idea hero is dis
appearing out of the small end of the
horn.
First, the wets were going to declare
for states' rights iu interpreting the
eigliteuth amendment. Next they were
going to keep mum in the platform and
put up a moist candidate. Now the
most they propose Is to put a moist can
didate and nave hlin conciliate tho drys
by declaring ninhlbltion to be a settled
issue while comforting tho wet vote with
the thought that the heart of the can
didate is with them eveu if his reason
is not. The hydrometer measuring
Governor Cox, the hope of tho wets,
records today a low percentage. It it
now snid that tho wet issue cannot bo
raised against Cox. He will deelaro
thnt prohibition is a settled question.
If noliticiaus are a timid lot. they are
DEMOCRATS WOULD
BE CONSERVATIVES,
BUT NEED RADICALS
doubly timid this year on account of
the woniuti voter. When you see ono
of theuir dodging an issue, chcrcho in
fenimo. It is so of booze, or to speak
of it more politely, personal liberty.
It is true also of another issue that
worries the followers of Governor Cor,
Tho Ohio enndidate Is a divorced man.
Chivalrously, his friends gay, he lot
