Excerpts from the comments on the Wendell L. Willkie accept ance speech:
 Senator Vandenberg (RepD - This speech is one of the great est in our generation. It sounds the challenge of a crusade I have long been waiting for"
 Senator MintOn (Dem.) - Tt was the worst major political speech I ever listened to-"
 Representative Shafer (RepD- "Willkie's endorsement of some form of selective military service does not mean that he is for compulsory military service"
 Representative Kitchener (Rap.) The speech is clearly W;llkie- esque - specific, outspoken and here can be no doubt where MT. WiIlkie stands on the vial is- sues of the day"

DEAN TO BEGIN
AGAIN AT TULSA
Unslings His New Sidearm
Pitch In Effort To Stage
Comeback
RY ROB MCCALL

TULSA, Okla, June III
Jerome Herman Dean, neither as
speedy nor as dizzy as he once
was, musings his new sidearm
pitch and his new upright hope
here tomorrow in the hot Texas
league sunshine.
He's putting his faith in sun
baking and side-winding to revive
the flame the major wars soaked
out of his freballing right arm.
He thinks he'll 'chelp the Tulsa
Oilers win the Texas league pen
nant'-they're on the bottom side
now-and help himself back up the
hill.
He met his new mates in Okla
homa City and predicted, offhand,
that he'd rejoin the Chicago CUBS
within four weeks. It must have
been the sunshine.
He faces the last-place Fort
Worth Cats here in the first game
of a Sunday doubleheader.
Sunbeam Dean isn't the cocky
cotton~picker who in 1881 rifled
Houston to victory in this same
Texas league and the Dixie serv-
les and himself into the St. Louis
Cardinal camp.
The big whip that carried him
through World series and All-Star
play is tricky now.

GOLDEN BELT AND
WMTEVILLE PLAY
Tangle In Whiteville Today;
Skipper To Hurl For
Columbus

WHITEVILLE, June 8 - The
Golden Belt Athletic club, which
nearly edged out the Wilmington
Pirates Friday night, viii tangle
with the Whiteville ball club here
Sunday afternoon.
In addition to it's long string of
stellar ballplayers which have
been acquired this year, the White
Vile nine will be boosted with the
hurling of Norwood Skipper, one
OF the mainstays of the Pirate
hurting staff, and probably will
have Harlan McKeithan, receiver
LOT the Pirates, behind the plate.
The Golden Belters are expect
ed to have much of the same line
up for the Sunday game that they
had Friday night when they held
the Pirates to 81, with Mcbride
hurting, Byrd behind the plate,
Hawkins on first, Clements at Sc
cond, Overman at third, Morris at
short, Beck in left field, Ball in
center and Durham in right.
Wednesday night the Whiteville
nine will go to Wilmington to meet
the Pirates at Legion field. 3

this week.
Time was when a game between
Wilmington and Whiteville would
mean nothing but a lopsided score
and a good bit of squabbling, but
such is not the case this year.
The Whiteville lads have ON
pletely revamped their lineup and
have few of the men playing for
them this year who saw action in
the Tide Water loop last year.
On the mound Wednesday night
the visitors are expected to start
with John Lewis, who did well for
himself as hurler for Erwin in the
Tobacco State league last year.
Barksdale, freshman UNC catch
er, will be behind the plate. Hea-
therly, of the Florida State league,
will hold down the initial sack ard
others who are expected to S e e
action are Caraway, Ripple, an
other Heatherly, brother of t h e
first baseman and a stellar man
for Stateson University, and others
who have been playing a fine
brand of ball this season.. 3

were out of the running anyway,
but Oliver was mad in every of
his 24O pounds and he had plenty
of support. There was a strong
mvoement afoot to force the U. S.
G. A. to admit him to tomorrow's
play.off. Both Sarazen and Little
were willing.
But Hal Pierce, of Boston, presi-
dent of the golf body, said fatty
1.-The matter is closed. We will not
consider it further"
He complimented Little for having
made a sporting gesture" in ask
ing that Oliver be included in the
playoff. Sarazen had said: "Shucks,
let him play. I can beat both of
them" The little man with the
fighting heart was in fine fettle.
The two man battle between Little,
80, and Sarazen, 3S, is scheduled for
$3.50 a. m. (EST) tomorrow. If they
tie again, they will go at it for an.
other 1S holes in the afternoon. Both
are impatient. Oliver was crying in
the clubhouse tonight.
Horton Smith made a stout heart.
ed finish with a SO to land a stroke
behind Little and Sarazen at 288.
Any kind of a score in the morning
would have given him the victory,
but he developed a slice and took IS.
Craig Wood, runner up last year,
had 289. Grouped at 200 were Ralph
Guldahl, Byron Nelson, Lloyd Man
grum and Ben Hogan.
MILFORD Wehrle, of Niles, ILL.,, was
low amateur with a total of 297. The
amateurs aren't what they were in

tional as that of '32 when he scored
a final record breaking round of &c
at Fresh Meadow to snatch the title
from Bobby Cruickshank and Phil
Perkins.
Little, winner of the British and
American Amateur titles in 1884 and
1885, was in with what looked like
the payoff score. Sarazen had
blown on the out nine, going two
over par, and he needed an impos-
sible "a coming back to tie. The
course was muddy and heavy from
a soaking rain.
HullabaIoo
While Little sat in the press tent
and watched the %scoreboard with an
gulshed eyes, Sarazen did it. The
little guy not only picked up the
two brides he needed, but on the
final hole, he nearly curled in a As
foot putt that would have won him
the title.
There was a terrific hullabaloo be-
cause Ed Oliver. OF Hornell, N. Y,
had been disqualified along with five
other players for having made an
unorthodox start on his closing
round.
Oliver had a total of 2S7, too, but
it never was posted. His II in the
afternoon was thrown out the win
dow because the committee decided
23-year-old star had broken one
of COLTS most sacred rules by teeins
off some 80 minutes before his
scheduled starting time and without
having reported to the official
starter.
None of the other five disqualified
mattered particularly, because they
