ERIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1932, RELIEF T0 MEET FLORIDA TONIGHT} TWO TEAMS TO COME TO- GETHER FOR THEIR LAST MEETING 8. S. Florida and 8, S. Relief are skimming the pacific seas and will encounter each other in mortal combat about 8 bells, tonight. A large crowd of enthusiastic dia- mondbal! fans will be on hand to witness the battle for supremacy, in the last meeting of these two teams. Skippers Brady and Goehring have everything in shipshape and are ready for any emergency when the order comes to fire. It is probable that Bethel will ‘oppose A. Lunn, though conditions may require that the gunners be changed and the second stringers given first chance. The Relief has something to strive for. While the pennant is beyond their grasp, they have the ;Chica. The reptile measured six jand a button.

Tn an analysis of “how the same Voters voted in 1928,” Roosevelt is shown gaining less strength from the Republican ranks than he did last week while the Hoover in- roads into the Democratic vote of four years ago remain about the same. Roosevelt gains the lead in the, voting in New York, which was earried by Hoover in two previous weekly returns of the pol). welt has Titaad tower to Hoove 206,708 in the Empire State. » Tn Pennsylvania, Roosevelt has his of. the state’s vote from 60.11 té' 53.34 tabulation. “The president’s Old Guard at the present moment are the New England States and New Jersey. ‘They give him six. of the twenty states so far. “Roosevelt is ahead in the other fourteen. “And what of the president's home state?

The Southern states reporting this week give Roosevelt . tremen- dous pluralities: 79.24 percent, in Alabama; 83.52 pertent, in Geor- gia; 89.46 percent, in Mississippi, and 88.61 percent, in South Caro- lina.

Roosevelt is obtaining over «@. majority of the votes—over all of the six other presidential candi- dates—in thirteen of the twenty states reported this week. A state by state tabulations shows Alabama voting Hoover 1,. 581, Roosevelt 6,930; California: Hoover 16,402, Roosevelt 35,873 Colorado: Hoover 5,798, Roosevelt 7,448; Connecticut: Hoever 16,- jem.’ But what do the Digest bal- lots from Wisconsin say?
