ABSENTEE VOTING
LIKELY TO DECLINE
Only Two Counties Have
Asked for Additional
Ballots for That
Daily Dispatch bureau,
I'm the Sir Walker Hotel.

Raleigh, May 31-With the primary
voting five days off, only two coun-
ties today had asked for an addl-
tional supply of absentee ballots to
supplement the usual quota sent by
the State Board of Elections. Bun
combe and Polk have asked for the
ballots. :,
Monday afternoon, r. G. Maxwell,
secretary of the board, was reported
sick at his home, and there was no
one in the election board office who
could say justs what the regular
quota of absentees to each county
is. but it was said that request TOR
additional ballots from only two coun-
ties is out of the ordinary.
Lack of interest in obtaining huge
supplies of absentee ballots 1ndlcat-
ed either that there is much less gen
eral interest in this years primary
than is usually the case, or that the
indiscriminate use of absentee bal
lots has fallen into disrepute as a
political practice.
In the event that absentee voting
drops off to a minimum this year
there is little likelihood that any
thing drastic in the way of election
law revision will be heard In the
1899 General Assembly. Two years
ago, even this early and before the
first primary there were loud out
cries If fraud and attempted fraud

PAUL DEAN LOOKS
AGAIN TO MAJORS
Conquering Both Physical

Ace Ball in Texas.

DALLAS. July $50 they don't
come back?
Paul (Da1y) Dean, gentleman
farmer baseball pitcher, is about to
wind up his noted ailing arm and
curve that myth right out of the park.
He's on his way back to the ma jors

fed the bigtime stars for years are
making their worst guess.
While they hold silent prayer over
Brother Diz Deans lame arm in Chi
cago. the daffy one at Dallas is proving
that he still could be a valuable hand
around the st. Louis Cardinal camp.
Mastering Mental Kink.
No cast-off ever worked harder on
his physical and mental problems than
Paul Dean. He is mastering both, and
records prove it. He is Kidding himself
Of his major fault-the thought that
he is through. He is pitching now like
the Paul Dean Of the 1884 world series.
Only Thursday night he gave his
most brilliant performance of the sea-
son, defeating Oklahoma City, 3 to /.
He nicked the corners with curves
and streaking fast balls with an amaz-
ing display Of control, throwing only
II balls in nine innings.
After the game he rushed to Third
Baseman Grey Clarke, who made the
last putout, grabbed the ball and held
it tight like a schoolboy winning his
first game. Gone is the old feeling
that he Is washed up"
In his last 20 innings he has issued
only one base on balls. He has al
lowed is hits in his last three games.
In SO innings pitched this season he
has issued only 16 bases on balls and
has struck out 80.
Drops Tough One to Row.
His won-and-lost record isn't good.
but there are reasons. He has lost
five one-run games, all with Houston
and Dallas, second-division clubs. He
has won three games, and he gets
better each time out.
1t was no fault of his that he lost
that 2-1 game to Schoolboy Rowe, the
other major league orphan, in last
Sundays duel. He outpitched the
Schoolboy, allowing only four hits to
Rowe's eight
OF the two, critics agree Dean has
the better chance to get back to the
majors. Rowe still complains OF his
bad arm-Dean beams I'm feeling
great again."

AL Simmons may be prepping for Q

Ter famed him, AL twirled his bat into

Although failing to connect at bat,
Simmons nevertheless produced the

raced to the left field boxes to make
backhand stab of Frankie Crosetti's
foul. bracing himself against the foul
marker to keep from falling in the

BY SCOTTY RESTON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

WIMBLEDON, England, July a.
At the end Of a one-sided mems sim
giles championship on Wimbledon's
courts. only three players who played
here during the last two weeks show
definite promise of developing into
top-notchers. They are Eric Filby of
England, Franz Cejnar of Czecho-
slovakia and Owen Anderson of Los
Angeles.
Filby, who took Bunny Austin deep
into the fifth set before going down,
Is only 81 now. He has weaknesses
that 60 with his age, but right now
he is volleying at the net and taking
the ball earlier than any one here
except Don Bulge. And even Bulge
has been watching him closely.
Filby's greatest weakness at the
moment is his service. But by the
time he gets to Forest Hills this may
be improved. He has the best chance
Of any one in England Of taking Fred
Perry's place
Blond, graceful Cejnar showed he
had all the shots against Bulge. His
experience on grass courts is limited,
but when he gets used to the surface,
he is going to upset the ranking lists.
Anderson, q University Of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles student, came
over here for practice, and by the
time he went down in five sets before
the seeded Ferenc Puncec Of Yugo-
slavia in the third round Jacques
Brugnon and Jean Borotra both were
watching him and predicting he soon
would be playing on the United Safes

The only girl to bring champions
shots to Wimbledon was Nancy Wynne
Of Australia. She was upset in more
ways than one by Nine Rene Mathieu,
but that's not going to prevent her
making it tough for somebody before
