Past success of organized baseball in Wilmington, including the local entry in the Eastern Carolina league in 1928-29.

Local support has rallied around the fight to bring minor league baseball to the city. Civic groups, the city council, the American Legion and the Elks have either wired Washington or are planning to wire Griffith, as a sign of the city’s support of the club.

“The fnore telegrams, Wilming- ton citizens send to Washington to Clark Griffith, the stronger our case will be,” Wade said. Mayor W. Ronald Lane and the City Coun- cil have voted to send a telegram urging acceptance of the local ap- plication in addition to informing City Manager A. C. Nichols to pre- pare a letter of endorsement to ac-

company Wade. While no further information has

been learned if the Wilmington club would be an independent club or a “farm” of a major league organization, Wade said that this week at least six business men

have offered financial backing for

any team representing Wilmipg- ton.

REPUBLICANS ASK LOGS OF SHIPS

bers at 6 a.m. 200 miles wast of Pearl Harbor on the morning of the attack which came about 7:50 a.m.

“Do you deduce,’’ he asked, “that the commander of the task force had any knowledge at 6 o’- clock that there was likely to be an attack on Pearl Harbor at

7:50?” Inglis said he thought the flight

represented routine operations of the lask force under Admiral Wil- liam F. Halsey, Jr.

Gearhart, after intimating as

much in questions to Inglis, told a

reporter during a recess that he had information the Boise, on con-

voy duty, had sighted at sea the

Japanese force which made the attack. However, on further ques-

tioning by newsmen, he said it might have been another group of Japanese -ships, not the one which struck Pearl Harbor.

‘My information is that there was

a fight aboard the Boise over whe- ther they should break orders for radio silence and report it and the Captain decided they should not,” he said.

The Californian added that wit- nesses he believed would bear out his report would be summoned later.

Gearhart mentioned no dates but a no viler nepuum.au

ator Brewster of Maine, suggest- ed that if the Boise saw the Jap- anese force it was several days before the Pearl Harbor raid.

Brewster said at a news conference that he understood the Boise arrived at Manila on Dec. 6.

The first mention of the Boise came from Senator Fprguson (R.- Mich.) after he had developed from Rear Admiral T. B. Inglis that the Navy on Nov. 25, 1941— 12 days before Pearl Harbor —

ordered merchant ships in the Pa- cific conveyed.

Under Ferguson’s questioning, Inglis read an order which he said was issued on that date by Admir- al Harold E. StarkJ then chief of

Naval operations, directing that trans-Pacific shipping follow a

southern route and that the Navy “provide necessary escort.”

Inglis, a Naval intelligence offi-

cer had taken the stand yesterday at the hearing’s opening to

present a ‘‘factual statement” ul

what happened at Pearl Harbor, as

shown by Naval records- Inglis said he believed there

were two convoys in the Pacific at the time of Pearl Harbor. The

Cruiser Pensacola was convoying

eight ships west bound, he said, adding that he did not know the

make-up of the other convoy._

‘Wildcats Shutout Bulldogs 26 To 0 ALERT WINNERS SNAG FIVE ’DOG FORWARD PASSES

Large Crowd Sees Last Conference Game of

The Season

Striking for two early first period touchdowns and adding two more in the last period, the New Hanover High school closed their Eastern A conference season last night, defeating a hapless Fayette- ville Bulldog eleven 26 to 0 before a chilled crowd of about 8,- 500 fans at American Legion Stadium.

Stopping the passes of the visitors’ vaunted Eddie Salley with five interceptions, the Wildcats countered with a smooth moving offensive that netted the local team yardage on both the ground and in the air.

“Bubba” Sykes, Wildcat fullback sparked the ’Cats from the backfield, aided by David Ban- nerman, Jimmy Piner and Ken Rogers. The New Hanover line opened large holes for the Wild- cat backs and stopped the Bull- dog running attack by giving up a net gain of only 38 yards, break- ing through on several occasions to drop Bullodg ball carirers for large losses, the longest being a 26 yard loss it} the last period, when they smothered Salley on an

attempted pass. Cheshire, the Bulldogs fullback, ] fumbled on the run-back of the 1

opening kick-off and Ken Kcgers '

recovered for the Wildcats on the 1

visitors’ 40 yard line- However the Wildcats couldn’t gain and were 1

iviccu iu punt. Several plays later “Bubba”

Sykes carried a punt from his own 30 yard line to the Wilming- ton 48 marker. Short stabs at the Fayetteville line carried the ball to the visitor’s 40 yard line. Sykes sprinted 26 yards to the Fayette- ville 16 yard line. After Banner- man carried the ball twice to the 13, Sykes turned end for the score. The kick was blocked.

Wilmington added two touchdowns in the last period. The first coming on a sustained drive of 80 yards, Jimmy Piner going over from the one yard mark. The second touchdown was set up on an 80 yard dash by Piner, who intercepted a Salley aerial on the Wild- cat 10 and was pulled down on the Bulldog 10. Three plays later Ban- nerman carried over for the touchdown from the one yard stripe. Graham Barefoot converted after both last period scores for the final tally, making the score 26 to 0.

Another Wildcat score was lost when Sykes fumbled on the Fay- etteville two yard line after a Wild- cat drive had marched almost to the Bulldog goal line. The drive started on the New Hanover 37 yard line. The largest again in the drive was a 35 yard pass from Sykes to Jim Gibson, Wildcat left end.

j-.aie in tne game a series of Sal- ley passes clicked. Driving from their own 36 yard line Salley passes moved the visitors deep into Wild- cat territory. The touchdown threat was averted on the 10 by Piner’s interception and long run. It w*s the only time during the evening that the Wilmington goal was in danger.

In a Junior Varsity game pro- ceeding the high school game, the Kiwanis and the Forty and Eight- ers battled to their second tie game of the season, 6 to 6. The Forty and Eight team scored first on a 40 yard end run of Charles Smith, team captain. The Kiwanis countered however, with a 30 yard touchdown pass from Linwood Grisson to Joe Warren. Both teams efforts for points after touchdowns failed and the game ended in the deadlock.

The Jaycees defeated the Lions in another Jay Vee game yesterday, 6 to 0, in a tilt played at 13th and Ann field yesterday afternoon. The game’s only score came on a 25 yard pass from Paul Maulsby to Louis Collie in the second quarter.

This Is My Story (Continued from Page Four)

:hief of staff for Lieut. Gen. ityer, took the surrender. Places lad been arranged for Gen. Styer ind me at the Allied center of the able. When we came in the Japs lad been standing at their places 'or ten tense minutes—Gen. Yama- ihita and an admiral, each accom-

panied by an aide, and two in-

;erpreters. After we were seated, hey took their places on the

folding chairs and stools opposite is.

Yamashlta, the so-called “Tiger if Malaya,” was a man as large is my old opponent Homma and a

ittle fleshier. He had been hiding mt in the mountains to the west if Cagayan Valley and had been Drought in the day before by a de-

achment of American troops. His peribboned uniform was dirty and mpressed. Gen. Percival stared impassively at him, masking what- ever emotion he felt over wit- nessing the unconditional surrender Df the man who had so aggressively forced the same thing on Percival at Singapore in February, 1942.

Japs Sign Gen. Leavey conducted the brief

ceremony. The Japs signed and then Gen. Leavey affixed his sig- nature for the United States, hand- ing one of his two signing pens to me. He then announced that the Japs, having unconditionally sur-

rendered, would be removed un-

der guard as prisoners of war.

Immediately a large and capable- looking MP major came in with three or four muscular enlisted men. He walked up to Yamashita, punched an extended index finger into the Jap general’s shoulder and motioned him out of the room like an umpire thumbing a player out of a ball game. He was to be taken to Bilibid Prison to await trial as

a war criminal. Yamashita suddenly wept as he

walked away. I got up from the table and strolled out of the room

with Gen. Styer. “General,” I asked him, “this

might seem a little strange, com-

ing from me, but I hope Yama-

shita is shown the courtesy due

his rank, in the matter of per- sonal accommodations, housing and food.”

“He’ll be given everything he’s entitled to under the Geneva Con- vention,” Gen. Styer assured me.

“We don’t want to be guilty of

treating anyone as the Japs treated you and your men.”

I flew back to Manila that afternoon and through the evening I was called on by a number of old friends I had not seen in years.

That same day I saw what was

to me one of the most astonishing sights of my two score of years in the Army. Into my line of vision at it o irartr rvrpf.t.V

young lady. “Well, I’ll be damned,” I must

have muttered, for an officer next to me asked me what the matter was. I walked over to her. She had on what was obviously the feminine version of an Army uniform. She even saluted me.

“I beg your pardon,” I said, “but but what are you?”

She seemed a little startled. “Why, I’m a WAC, sir.” “A what?” "A WAC,” she insisted. I thanked her and came back to

the officer. “What the devil is a wack? I

asked him. I was still catching up with the

war. The next day, September 4, I

lunched with Mrs. MacArthur at the general’s residence in the Santa Mesa region of Manila, along with Beebe, Pugh and Dooley.

Many warm friends were at Nichols Field the next morning to

see us off. Perfect Weather

We flew through perfect weather to Guam, whose development since I first saw it in 1908, and last saw it in 1940, was hard to believe. Lieut. Gen. Barney Giles, of the Twentieth Air Force, took us in hand that evening and showed us

our first B-29. We left Guam in the morning and

flew to Kwajalein, where the Navj treated us handsomely, and then

lew on all that night and until loon the next day to Honolulu, where an old comrade, Lieut. Gen. Robert C. Richardson, was wait- ing for me at Hickam Field.

He had a luncheon ready, and some great news. While we were

eating he took a radio message from his pocket from the Adjutant General of the Army, and told me I had been promoted to the grade of full general. With a big smile he produced eight silver stars from his pocket and pinned them on my shoulders. The promotion was

wholly unexpected; a very wonderful thing for President Truman to do, when one considers that I spent by far the greater part of the .war in prison camps.

We were Gen. Richardson’s guests in Hawaii until Friday night, September 7, when we took off for San Francisco. It was

cloudy as we approached the city. But at 11 a.m. September 8 the clouds opened and there below us was the Golden Gate Bridge and the green mountains to the north of the Bay home, and there never was a finer word.

A large delegation met us at Hamilton Field: the Mayor, several generals—and my sister, Mrs. Frederick Mears, of Seattle, and my boy, whom I had missed so

very much. With my boy and my sister in the car with me we whisked through the Presidio and into the city to the St. Francis Hotel, where a heart warming crowd had gathered. I talked to my wife by phone in Skaneateles, N. Y., grateful to hear her voice again after more than four years.

I spent Sunday morning, Sept. 9, on my son’s fine new ship, and then met the Mayor and rode with him in the great parade which jointly celebrated the anniversary of California’s admission to the Union and my own return. It was a tremendous occasion, an indel- ible thrill.

Gen. Marshall had instructed me to arrive in Washington at exactly 12:30 p.m., Eastern War Time, the

following day. We took off from Hamilton Field in our same C-54 at 6 p.m. Sunday and flew over land I have always loved—the Sierra Nevada mountains. Late that night we landed at Omaha for gas.

Ahead of Schedule We were ahead of schedule

shortly after dawn, so Perkins flew us over the beautiful Tennessee Valley and the Big Smokies, gave us a look at the big Marine base at Quantico, Va., and put the C-5‘. down on the dot of 12:30 at the National Airport in Washington.

As I stepped from the plane i

Guard of Honor presented arm;

and the band played the appro priate flourishes and ruffles am then the General’s March. Standini at attention, as was everyone else I kept my eyes on my wife, wh stood there at Gen Marshall’s side Gen. Marshall let my wife come t me first.

It was a busy day. Mrs. Wain wright and I were taken first t

the Pentagon Building to meet tha fine old gentleman and statesman Col. Stimson, in his office in th fantastic building the existence o

which I had learned only a wee! before.

On a reception committee at th Pentagon were 30 or 40 officer and men of my former commam

in the Philippines, among then Col. Howard, the Marine officer ii command of Corregidor’s bead defenses; Brig. Gen. Romulo o

the Philippine Army and a numbe: of other Filipino officers and men

and Brig. Gen. Maxon Lough, whi had suffered an almost killing blov over the head with a baseball ba during the Bataan Death March.

We were driven across the bridge into Washington and on nearl; every lamppost was a picture o

myself in my sun helmet, and th warming legend, “Welcome Skin ny.”

More than 100,000 persons ha< gathered on the Monumen Grounds, and when I took my plac on the flag-draped reception stani they gave me a cheer that, I guess brought tears to my eyes.

“Thank you, all of you 1 finally said. “I still find it har

to believe that I am really here, back among my own people.

\“We lived in a blacked-out world during, our prison days. One of the least, and the greatest, of the cruelties practiced by the Japs was to keep us from frequent contact with home. We seldom knew what had happened to our loved ones.

“From the poverty of our existence out there, we have returned to find America strong and great. Even before we first set foot on the American Continent at San Fran- cisco last Saturday we knew how this country had rallied from our defeat at Corregidor.

Tables Turned ‘‘The tables are now completely

turned. No humane person could desire that the Japs be forced to endure what many of our men went

through. Yet I know that Ameri- cans will insist that the full mean-

ing of Japan’s surrender be

brought home to every subject of the Emperor. These truculent men must be forced to realize the folly of their ambitions. Until the Japan- ese people display sincerely a de-

sire for peaceful ways, we must not abandon our watch.

“That moment of surrender in

Tokyo Bay was bought with the

blood of more than a million Americans who died or were

wounded in the struggle. Billions of dollars and countless hours of

work by Americans at home had been required to bring that little

party of beaten Japs to the Mis- souri’s deck. All because for a

while we were careless of the na-

tion’s safety. We let down our

guard. “Remember Bataan! Remember

Corregidor!” The steps of the Capitol were

Winifred Morgan Wins City Men’s Net Crown i

Winifred I. Morgan clinched the nen’s division City wide tennis ournament title by edging H. J. iinnant 9-7, 9-7 in a close match, rhe match completed this year’s ournament. The final had been lostponed when Morgan was in- ured and was unable to play for iome time.

while the cameras clicked, and then I saw the President was lead- ing me to a battery of micro- phones: I was momentarily afraid I was going to have to make an-

other speech. But Mr. Truman did the talking.

To my utter surprise he drew a

paper from his pocket and began to read aloud:

“General Jonathan M. Wain- wrgiht, commanding United States Army forces in the Philippines from March 12 to May 7, 1942, dis- tinguished himself by intrepid and determined leadership against greatly superior enemy forces. At the repeated risk of life above and beyond the call of duty in his po- sition ...”

I suddenly realized when I heard these magic words that this was

the citation for the Congressional Medal of Honor, the ultimate goal of every American soldier.

... he frequented the firing line of his troops where his pres- ence provided the example and in- centive that helped make the gal- lant efforts of these men possible.

"The final stand on beleaguered Corregidor, for which he was in an important measure personally responsible, commanded the ad- miration of the nation’s Allies. It reflected the high morale of Ameri- can arms in the face of over- tirVialrvu’Mff ,-rlrlc Uin a. » —_i

—o -- »iivi

resolution were a vitally needed in- spiration to the then sorely pressed freedom-loving peoples of the world.”

Mr. Truman looked up from his script and an aide handed him the Medal of Honor.

“And so it gives me more pleas- ure than almost anything I’ve ever done to present General Wain- wright with the Congressional Medal of Honor—the highest honor this country can bestow on a man,” Mr. Truman finished.

And .with that he fastened the wonderful blue ribboned medal around my neck.

In the busy months that followed, before and after Gen. Marshal] arranged for me to go to Ashford General Hospital at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., for a rest, I went through the most amazing recep- tions—especially one in New York, where 4,000,000 cheering Ameri- cans lined the parade route.

But nothing can supplant in my mind that afternoon in the garden of the White House, where every dream of glory any man could have was realized.
