David Martin of California ad-
vanced to the third round of the
British amateur golf champion
ship. today by a victory, 2 to l,
over the veteran player writer,
Bernard Darwin of Woking.
Martin had superior repertoire
of shots and almost always outdrove
Darwin. Occasionally, however,
Martins play with mashies and
niblicks was not up to his own
standard The Californian was off
to an early lead. He was two up
after three holes had been played
and was one up at the turn, hold
ing the lead to the end.
The match was decided on the
17th green where Martin holed a
spectacular, long putt.

GOMEZ LEADING
LEAGUE PITCHERS
FOR STRIKEOUTS

NEW YORK, May 25. U.P)-Ro-
nance, and a diet of milk and
cheese have contributed to the sin
gular pitching success of that Cal
ifornia beanpole, Senor Lefty Co
mez, who now bears the major
league strike out crown upon his
proud Castilian brow.
Little June O'Day, dark haired
musical comedy star, fluttered a
dainty kerchief at intervals yes
terday from a box seat at the sta
dium as her elongated fiance bore
down with his fast ball to gain
the strike out title and give the
New York Yankees to victory
over Connie Mack's Athletics.
This 22-year-old farm boy, who
has made good in the Bronx-and
on Broadway, struck out 13 men,
bringing his strike-out total to So
for the season. Wild Bill Hallahan
of the ST. Louis Cardinals has SO.
1t was Gomez second three-hit
performance of the year, and it
gave him seven victories and one
defeat. 1t also was the largest
number of strikeouts in one game
this year.
AS the six foot two southpaw
guided his diversified feet into the
dressing room after the contest,
he gallantly evaded suggestions
that his romance possibly inspired
this brilliant hurting.
Nav" said Lefty. 1T must
be the milk and cheese. I use SO
much of both at that California
health farm every winter, I'm
ashamed to look a cow in the face
go there to put on meat; I'm a
bit under weight, scaling only about
$50 pounds"
Babe Ruth drove out his 18th
homer of the season in the third
inning. 1t placed him one game
ahead of his record year, 1927
when he made his 18th in the 34th
game.
This defeat dropped the Athletics
to fourth place. The Detroit Tigers
moved into Phlladelphia's third
position by defeating the st. Louis
Browns, 6 to S. Roy Johnson hon.

likewise for the Browns.

for Chicago.
No other games were scheduled.

ARIZONA SECONDS GOVERNOR
ROOSEVElT'S NOMINATION

Convention Hall, Chicago,
June 30.-Followiug is the ad
dress of Mrs. Isabella Greenway
seconding the nomination of
Franklin D. Roosevelt:
Mr.. Chairman and delegates:
[ speak for the youngest state of
the Union-Arizona-a land pos
sessed by the spirit of youth,
which is the essence of life. the
source of hope, the inspiration
of courage.
And because Arizona, even in
these darkening days, is filed
with life and courage and de-
mands a leader of her own un.
defeated quality, she wishes
Franklin D. Roosevelt for the
next president of the United
States.
For now 30 years Governor
Roosevelt and his wife have been
my intimate friends. I shall not
review the career which we
all have watched nor speak of
his public achievements. That
duty 1 leave to others better
qualified-but I believe that l,
II anyone. should bs able to 40
praise and testify to his quality.
From earliest manhood, Frank.
lin Roosevelt has never failed to
be counted among those who
willingly bear the streas and,
with serious purpose and un
wavering determination, en
deavor to solve the problems of
life. He never has been will
ing to rest supinely upon the
past. He believes that as all of
the worlds impulses are the pro
duct of human instinct. they at
least may be modified by intelli
gently directed human resolu
ton. He never stops trying.
In bis personal life, be has
gallantly waged and triumphant
~ won a battle against fate such
as few men are called upon to
fight.
In his public career be never
has shirked al issue; and the
very fact that be comes to this
convention with q clear majority
of those who represent the Dem
ocracy of the nation is conclusive
evidence that his fellow country.
men believe his convictions to
be sound and his leadership to
be worthy of their faith.
He has been attacked with not
too carefully yelled innuendo,
because be believes and has said
that the government of the
whole nation should extend it's
benefcence with equal hand to
all elements of the people for
whom it exists, Mr.. Chairman,
it is because be so believes and
so acts that Arizona believes in
| him.
It believes in him because be
is not afraid to say that hunger
must be fed; that suffering must
be relieved; because he knows
that the failure of those who fail
is the price paid to nature for
the success of those who win,
and that. in the last resort, the
successful are but trustees for
all; because he believes that
humanity is above systems and
that the succor of the helpless
comes before all other gain.
We Of the south west agree that
the President of the United
States should have long head

velt has one), but we demand
that our President have a big
heart.
Mr.. Chairman, in the pane of
Arizona, for its delegation in

home who recognize in him a

study will be available to stu.
dents who enroll in the second
semester Of the University of
Arizona summer school. it was
announced today by Dean J. w.
Clarson.

for the first semester scheduled
scheduled for July 9. prepara
tions for the recreational and
entertainment program of the

mester enrolment will be as
great as the registration for the
summer of 1881.
The second term will run from
July II until August 13. Fol.
lowing the close of summer work
the campus will be quiet until
the opening day of Freshman
Week, September 6.
Many students in attendance
at the first semester of the sum
mer session have indicated that
they will remain for the next
session. according to Dean Clar.
500. Ia addition to this group
there are many new outside ap
piications to swell the total en-
rollment. Because the courses
in trade and industrial education
have proved so popular with
summer students, two courses
are to be offered ia the second
semester. These will be under
the direction of A. M. Davis,
state direstor OF vocational edu.
cation, and r. L. Welch, of
| Madison, Wisconsin. If enroll
ment justifies there is posibil
ity that more courses in this
field will be offered.
Courses in the second semester
will come under the general de
partments of agricultural educa
ton. archaeology. botany, chem
estry, economics, education, trade
and industrial education, Eaglish
geology, history and political

zona, Philip keenan,, has just
completed an appointment to
work on the staff of the Yerkes
observatory at Chicago.
During the undergraduates aud
graduate career at the Uuiver
sity of Arizona. Mr.. keenan,
gained wide attention with his
work on the lunar eclipses and
photometric study. He received
his bachelors degree from the
University in 1929 and his mast
er's degree in 1880.
At the recent commencement
exercises of the University Of
Chicago, the Arizona Student
was awarded the degree of doc
tor OF philosophy.
All but one of the members of
the Comedy Guild, group of
travelling players now touring
the southwest, received under

participated in legitimate stage
presentations at the University.
1t is interesting to observe,
critics declare, that of the nine
theatrical companies touring in
the United States this summer,
the most original of the group,
the Comedy Guild, originated in
Tucson.
