Bfuns and von Schacht will continue In Emporia a match which they were unable to complete in Kansas City a week ago.

There, before a- crowd of 5,000 persons, the two engaged In a hectic bout that kept the patrons in a frenzy. Von Schacht won the first fall but Bruns gained the second when the German was disqualified because of his rough tactics. So incensed was the crowd von Schacht that several of the spectators challenged the wrestler, putting him out of action. He was unable to return for the third fall. Both wrestlers will be trying for a decision Monday.

D. R. Will Run Only Question Is Who Will Be Running Mate Washington. June 1 las month of delegate-choosing for tiw presidential nominating opened today with the Republican ticket, in the minds or politicians, much uncertain than that of the party In power. Even opponents of a third term for President Roosevelt are beginning to announce openly their conviction that the Chief Executive's Is Inevitable unless he stops it.

With more than a majority of the Democratic delegates already In the President's column, congressional Democrats are not about who might get the vice presidential nomination, assuming Mr. Roosevelt agrees to run. G. O. P.

RACE WIDE OPEN. In Republican ranks, however, the concensus is that anything may happen at the party's convention, particularly in view of the large block of delegates already chosen who have announced allegiance to no candidate. Thomas E. Dewey, New York dta- trict attorney, leads In pledged and semi-pledged delegates with 150, excluding upwards of 70 his managers have claimed for him in the disputed New York delegation of 92. Despite the Dewey lead, Senator Taft of Ohio, who has 56 delegates cpenly in his camp, continues to assert he will have greater strength than Dewey at the start of the convention, because uninstructed delegates will flock to his banner.

Others who have delegate support for the Republican-nomination are Senators Vandenberg of Michigan, McNary of Oregon, and Capper of Kansas; and Hartford Mocnlder of Iowa, former American Legion commander. Wendell L. Willkle. utilities executive, also is gaining some backers, but as yet has no definitely pledged first-ballot votes. BYRNES ON TICKET?

Billy spoke of a 230-yard, nar- hole at Cleveland's Canterbury Golf club where the National 3pen will be played Thursday through Saturday.
