Maybe He Can
Dizzy Dean has scored his second straight victory play
ing with Tulsa Oilers in the Texas league. Dizzy did not fin
ish the game, but he had it won when he left the box.
Dean* it was said, used a good curve ball for six innings
and then was replaced by a speed artist.
Everyone has said that Dean could not make a success
ful comeback. It really did not look possible, but maybe he
can. A man is never down until he is out and it looks like
“Ole Diz” is not yet out.

Is No “Suckair”
i
Arturo Godoy admitted this week that “Arturo he
ees no suckair”.
Arturo has a date in Yankee Stadium tonight with Joe
_ouis.jvith the heavyweight championship of the world at
‘‘"stake. Four months ago, Godoy befuddled Louis for 15 rounds
with his crouching, weaving, “squat tag” type of ring work.
Most folks expect Arturo to come right back with the
same style, and they figure the Bomber has learned how to
solve it. As a result, the general opinion is Godoy will be walk
ing into a couple of buzz saws.
And that’s why the old-time fisherman from Chile is
laughing that he is by no means a “suckair”.
Godoy may be no “suckair” but this column has an
idea that he is also no “champion.” He possibly has a lot of
courage. Any man who faces Louis has that, but that does not
mean that he has an even chance with world’s best boxer.
So far we will string along with Louis and have an idea
that Mr. Godoy will get knocked out in the fifth or sixth
round.

The Whole Town’s Golfing
.•jib"; i
Sunday found the golf course at the Country Club
- crowded with golfers. There must have been about fifty play-
the course and all were having a big time.
The crowd included good golfers, fair golfers, bad golf
ers, and would-be golfers. Some of the boys played more in
the rough than they did on the fairways, but all had a big
time and indicated that they would be back again;
Looks like some store in Roxboro would put in a complete
line of golf supplies. We believe that it would sell.

The Durham club continues to
play good baseball and much of
the success of the club is due to
Roland Van Harrington, speedy
and dependable shortstop, who
has been batting for a hefty .357
average and playing great ball in
the field. Van Harrington is rat
ed as the best shortstop prospect
and he is certaain to get a trial
in the Cincinnati organization
’ wit hthe Cincinnati Reds at Tam
-Ipa next spring if he continues
his sensational work. Van is a
prime favorite with Durham fans
who like to watch hi mhustle a

predicting that he will soon gra
duate to the Cincinnati Reds a

GROWERS TO VOTE
ON THREE - YEAR
CONTROLJUNE 20
AAA Executive Officer At
State College Loans Will
Depend On Growers.
Raleigh, June 19 Faced with
a situation more serious than
that of 1930-32, flue-cured tobac
co growers ot Worth Carolina and
other Southern states will go
to the polls July 20 to vote on a
three-year control plan.
Recent amendments to the
quota provisions of the AAA pro
gram have authorized this refer,
endum, which, if voted on favor
ably by a two-thirds or more ma
jority, would set up quotas on the
1941, 1942, and 1943 crops. Here
tofore, growers have voted on
only their next crop.
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive
officer of N, C. State college, said
any loan arrangements to sup
port the market will depend up
on a decision by growers to re
gulate marketings. A majority
vote against quotas would 'Auto
matically eliminate any govern
ment loans.
If quotas are voted for three
years, the AAA executive officer
explained, domestic manufactur
ers can pay their fair prices for
their tobacco without fear of ex
cessive production during the
period. Then, too, the export
trade will be more likely to make
purchases at reasonable prices,
and the government can give
maximum support to prices for
the export grades.
Probably the greatest factor in
the present distressed situation is
the 1939 crop, which was grown
without regard to allotments.
Flinging caution to the winds,
growers branded a 1,160,000,000-
pound crop, 34 percent higher
than the previous record of 1937

The result was a 400,000,000-pound
surplus.
The second reason, and perhaps
almost as great as the overproduc
tion factor, was the loss of or the
seriously curtailed foreign mar
kets, as a result of the present
European conflict. Coming to
gether, the two dragged prices
down to an average of 14.8 certs
a pound for the season. The pre
vious five-year average was 22.9
cents.
