mendation of Mr.. Wade he will,

mund M. (Eddie) Cameron has

Mr.. Wade received his separation
papers Sunday at Fort Bragg. He
is now at his home on the Duke
campus. Mr.. Wade has long been
greatly interested in full and wise
physical training program for all
college students, he said tod,
and his observations and ex-
perience in Army training centers
and actual warfare have profound
ly convinced him of the needs Of
an expanded program to meet this
service for postwar youth in his
respect.
Mr.. Wade was physical edu-
cation director and head football
coach from the time he came form
Alabama to Duke in 1881 to the
time he voluntarily entered the

And Dinges Are
Top Major League Finds
BY JACK HAND

NEW YORK, July II - R -
Marine Pieretti of Washington and
Vance Dinges of the Philadelphia
Phillies today appear the prize
picks of 81 minor leaguers drafted
by the majors last winter at a
cost of $152,50O.
Pieretti, whose selection threat
ened OF start a baseball civil war,
has won nine and lost five for the
up and coming senators. Inclusion
of the midget-sized rookie in the
list of Ossie Bluege's starters gives
the Mats the best hurting staff in
the loop. He has proved a cap
able helping mate to Dutch Leon
ard, Roger Wolff, Mickey Haefner
and Johnny Niggeling. Only Leon
ard tops him in total victories and
ne is first in hours and innings of
work on the Washinton staff.
When Clark Griffith drafted the
mighty mite from Portland, Presi-
sident Bill Keeper of the Beavers
hollered like a wounded gladiator
and claimed he had lost a $4,000
sale prospect for only $500. How
ever, nobody bought Pieretti be-
fore the draft deadline and so all
was above board. This particular
case resulted in a threat of a third
major league from the Pacific
Coast loop and demands for high
err draft prices, matter still lin
settled and sure to provoke trouble
at the 1915 winter meetings.
Dinges, batting .318 and ninth
among National League hitters, is
an even more surprising "click"
in the big show as most of his
previous experience was in the
class A eastern league. Although
the Phils selected Dinges from
Louisville of the American Asso-
citation, he played only II games
there and spent most of 1914 with
Scranton, Pa, where he hit 1923.
Herb Pennock, head of the
Phillies, knew the speedy young
ster when he had charge of the
Boston Red Sox chain system and
promptly picked him out of the
hat when the sox failed to buy his
contract from Louisville.
Only four other graduates of the
class of 81 are doing regular duty
in the majors and all are pitchers.

BY WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, July 17.-lR-We re
just back from one of those annual
ego-deflating experiences, some
times called a vacation. Returning
and expecting to find you col
leagues tottering and Keeling from
the strain of trying to keep things
going without you, it's little dis
concerning to be greeted with
bland Indifference and the query:
"oh, you been away? Thought
there was something missing
around here"
Anyway, it's little bit harder
than usual to get back into the
groove, or maybe it should be rut,
than usual this year, as due to a
newspaper deliverymen's strike we
saw papers only at scattered in
tervals and thus lost our bearings
on current sports events.
We did siphon the information
from the almost dry wells that
everything was not fragrant in
Flatbush as the Dodgers had fallen
upon evil days and where once they
had the lead in the National League
they now have the lead in their
shoes and are falling back in dis
order. Their pitchers are being
routed instead of going the route.
We also learned the Chicago Cubs
are giving the league fits, and that
the Detroit Tigers are in the throes
of slump which perils their Amer
lean League leadership. Maybe
from their standpoint if they must
have a slump now would be the
best time as they'll have time to
recouperate.
We leaned with much satisfaction
of the debut of Hank Greenberg
in the Tiger lineup and the fact
he cracked out a home run in mis-
first game will do wonders to alay
the apprehensions of other ball
players in the service thai they
might be buds when they tried to
come back.
We also got the grapevine news

New York Breaks Jinx
To Down Chicago, FL

CHICAGO, July 17-P)-Husky
Bill Voiselle cooled off the ram
paging Chicago Cubs with five
hit performance as the New York
Giants ended a five game losing
streak by shading the National
League pace-setters, FL, before a
paid crowd of $3.50 today. One
wild inning by Paul Erickson gave
the Giants both their TALES to
snap Bruin winning streak at
five and hand Chicago only its
second setback in 10 starts.
Erickson also allowed only five
hits but three walks, wild pitch
and a single by Dan Gardella
with the bases loaded in the fourth
settled the issue. The three passes
were all Erickson issued in the
game.
Four of the five hits off Voiselle,
who gained his eleventh victory
against eight defeats, were two
baggers. Three of them were lead
off clouts, but each time the Giant
highlander quickly doused the
threat.
The lone Cub tally came in the
second inning when Phil CAVIAR
retta's grounder went through first
baseman Dan Gardella for a two
base error and Paul Gillespie
SINGLED him home.
