BOTH DEWEY, TRUMAN TALK ABOUT PEACE
(By The Assoclated Press)


 The two major party Presidential candidates returned to political campaigning today after Sab- bath lull in which both made peace pleas.
 World peace is more important than whether I'm President of the United States" President Truman told dinner of Texas Democrats at San Antonio last night.
 Gov. Thomas E. Dewey said in a statement a San Francisco that America is united on the Paris peace front. He called for peace prayers in the face of the grave crisis in Berlin"
 Both candidates shied away from outright politics in their Sunday utterances.
 But former speaker Sam Ray burn, now Democratic leader of the House, told the San Antonio dinner that a change in American leader ship would make other nations think we have weakened in our for. eign policy
 In his address at San Antonio MT. Truman said T always wish one thing, and that's world peace. He said substantially the same thing in a nearlier talk before some 25,000 people assembled in front of the famed Alamo.
 Dewey's statement said We must stand together to strengthen the hands of those who speak and work for us and for the cause of peace in Paris
 Dewey headed north into oregon and Washington today with major speeches scheduled at Portland this afternoon and at Seattle tonight.

Sparkling Round
By Indian Spring
Ace Earns Title
Winner on Woodmont
Links, 5-4, Ties Mems
Par on First Nine
By MerrelI Whittlesey

Mrs. Albert B. Bower Of Indian
Spring played one of the finest
rounds in women's golf history here
today to defeat Mrs. Betty Meckley
of Kenwood, S and 4, at Woodmont,
for the District women's champion
ship.
Mrs. Bower, in regaining title
she held last in 1916, played the new
front nine of the links near Bethesda
in IS strokes, even mems par, in an
amazing exhibition. She was S up
at the turn.
Mrs. Meckley won only one hole,
the 18th, where she played a strong
shot out Of the rough and dropped
10-footer to keep the match alive.
On the previous hole, Mrs. Meckley
had holed an 8-foot putt to keep
from being closed out, 7 and 6.
Mrs. Bower ended the match on
the 18th with a par 8 that barely
missed being a birdie. For the IA
holes of the match, Mrs. Bower was
2 over mems par and needed par in
for q II.
Only Bogey at Start.
Mrs. Bower won the first hole with
her only bogey Of the front nine
when Mrs. Beckley was in trouble.
Mrs. Bower won the third with a
par 5 and the fourth where she
dropped 12-foot birdie put. They
halved through the sixth hole and
on the seventh Mrs. Bower Clipped
dead for a par 4 and a 4-up lead.
On the ninth hole, she dropped
20-foot putt for par on the 40
yard par 4 to turn 5 up.
On the 10th hole, Mrs. Bower
played probably her finest shot of
the match, an 8-iron within two
feet of the pin on the elevated
green, and scored a par on the 430-
yard hole. That made her 6 up.
They halved II and II before Mrs.
Meckley won her only hole Of the
match and it was over on the 14th.
Mrs Bower required IA puts on
the front nine and took eight puts
on the five holes coming back. She
outdrove Mrs. Meckley by S to rs
yards, although the latter made a
fine stand against unbeatable golf.
Loser Has Good Round.
Mrs. Meckley's round probably
have won any other match in the
tournament. The defeat I'd
her bid for a fourth title In the Dis
trict tournament.
Mrs. Bower was in the rough on
only one hole, the ninth. where she

Smith Clash
In College Golf Final
BY the Assoeiafsd Press


COLUMBUS, Ohio, June. 18.-Two
blond college girls-one from Con-
necticut and the other from Kansas
-teed of today in an 18-hole finale
to the fourth annual National
Womens Collegiate Golf Tourna-
ment.
One was Grace Lenczyk of New
ington, Conn, a junior at John B.
Stetson University, Deland, Fla;
the other Marilynn Smith of Wich-
ita, Kans., a freshman at the Uni
versity of Kansas.
Miss Lenczyk, a Curtis Cup star
and a veteran of tournament golf
since she was II years old, was con-
ceded the edge over the 19-year-
old Kansan-principally because Of
her superior experience. Miss Smith
played in her first tournament two
seasons ago.
But, even with Miss Lenczyk's S
top-drawer record in some top
drawer tournaments, it wasn't much
of an edge. There was so little to
choose between the two girls per-
formances thus far In the collegiate.

CHICAGO, June 18.- Manager
Joe Kuhel is overlooking no bets in
an attempt to improve the behavior
of his club and so the Mats will re-
turn to school, They've been gum
ming up plays they were taught in
spring training, so Joe plans to
shake 'em out of bed early, get them
out to the ball park and drill them
until they're proficient.
The Mats are a running team.
They've stolen % bases in 48 at
tempts, but irking Kuhel is the fall
ure of his dub to maneuver double
steals in tight situations which
could win games They haven't
clicked recently and Joe plans to
remedy that rapidly.
The boys are confused" says
Kuhel. 81 thought everybody had
enough instruction in spring train
ing, but they didn't. In double
steal, the man on third base has
been breaking too soon or too late
and we've been beaten out OF stolen
bases we should have had.
Correction Needed Now.
"The time to correct 1t is right
now I planned to get them out
yesterday morning In st. Louis, but
the Browns had something else oc-
cupying the field. I don't know if
we'll be able to get in any instruc-
ton here because we play four
games in three days, but If not I'll
have a morning session in Detroit.
II don't want to let 1t go until
next spring. Spring training really
isn't long enough to give them a
complete course in running. I'm
afraid to run them too early for
fear of pulling muscles. Then, when
they get in condition, we start trav-
cling all over the South and before
you know it time has run out and
we're headed North"
Kuhel particularly is distressed at
Johnny Sullivan and Gil Coan TAX
ing third strikes on Wednesday
night at st. Louis, when an outfleld
fly by either would have enabled a
runner to score from third and keep
the Mats in the game.
Sullivan has been seeing nothing
but curve balls in batting practice
on Kuhefs explicit orders. They've
been curving Johnny to DEATH" says
Joe. so the only thing for him to
do is learn to hit a curve. He has
