Officials at both Wrightsville and

praisal of the destruction at those
resorts, lowered the estimates OF

The fierce blow, the heart of
which skirted inward somewhere
between Myrtle Beach and Will
noington Tuesday night, occasioned
great national interest. The local
Red Cross handled floods of tele-
Grams from anxious friends and
relatives from throughout the coun-
try. State and national papers car
ried heavy headlines on the storm
and it's damage, and radios report
ed quantities of information con-
corning it.
Private homes. churches, USO
\ clubs, were pressed into service
to accommodate the 10000 beach

forts of the State Highway Patrol,
the Coast Guard, and the Army.
All law enforcement branches, the
fire department, and the Control

SPORTS TRAIL

were pretty good men and in pref
ty good condition. But ours are
1 better men. I'm convinced that the
physical education and sports pro-
grams of our American schools are
largely responsible for the physi-
cal superiority we have over the
Japs. Nearly all the fellows you
see out here have taken part in
sports at some time or other. and
the early lessons they learned in
athletics are counting now in COM
bat.
Fright here in my own unit there
are a few athletes I'd like to tell
you about. There are many more,
of course, but these are fellows
whom I've lived with ever since
we landed here June Is, and whose
activities I've had an opportunity
to observe.
There is Pfc. Wade Tate, %,
of Yonkers, N. Y, who was four
letter man at Memorial high school
West New York, N. j., He has
been acting as scout and observer
and has been all over the hills
around us. back in New Zealand,
before we went to Tarawa a d
then Saipan, Tate developed into a
first class rugby player.
''Then there is Pfc. Melvin r.
Durdil of Cleveland, who used to
pitch for WEIGH, w. Va, in the
Mountain State league, and for Can
ton, Ohio, in the Mid Atlantic
league, and who was a star hurler
in the Cecond Marine Division
league. He has accounted for one
Jap. He spotted him while on a
reconnaissance mission and 6
him with rifle.
"Also with us is Pfc. Robert F..
Ryan, "a, of Pottsville, Pa. They
call him old Man Ryan, but he
hasn't showed any signs Of fatigue
I can see. Rocky used to play ball
for Moultrie, Ga, in the Georgia
Florida league.
Representing the fisticuff fra
|
ternity is Pfc. James J. Burke, %,
of Santa Monica, Cal. He former
ly was middleweight champion of
the Second Marine division, and
one of the classiest boxers t h e
corps has developed.
''Also out here are two former
major league pitchers, c o p.
Preacher Dorset, formerly of the
Cleveland Indians, and Pfc. Jim
Bivin, formerly of the Phillies.
They are not in my outfit and I
haven't seen them since 1--WE ben
on Saipaa. Chances are, though,
they're in there pitching, just as
they pitched their team to tn e
championship in the Second Ma
rine division baseball league"

SCORED IN REPORT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 -R-The
Senate liquor shortage investigating
committee accused four big distil-
lery groups today of moving to
monopolize the production Of all
alcoholic beverages, including
whisky, wine and beer.
The report, made public by
Chairman McCarran D-Nev) said
that together, the National distil-
lers Products Corp, Schenley Dis
tillers Corp, Distillers Corporation
Seagrams, and Hiram Walker
Gooderham and Worts, have in
their possession today about 70 per
cent of the nations supply of
whisky"
This possession has reached 70
per cent, compared with an owner
ship of 40 per cent in 1889, the
report declared, despite the fact
that since October, 1912, there has
been no whisky distilled and there
has been a constant drain upon
the inventories of the big four"
