WATCHING CLOSELY NEGRO DISTRICTS Several Negroes Taken Be fore Woman But She Could Not Identify Any of Them. Asheville. Aug. 18. —OP) —Some 25 negro suspects arrested since yester day afternoon in search for a young negro who is alleged to have crimi- assaulted a white young woman of a local sanitarium had been releas ed today, it was announced by Sheriff E. M. Mitchell, identification failing in each casee. Several of the negroes taken on sus picion were brought before the woman who indicated none of them was her Qseailant. : Chief of Police Messer said today he is working on valuable cities which mny lead to an arrest shortly. The negro districts of the city are being closely watched. The alleged assault occurred on a mountain path on Sunset Mountain in a secluded spot not far from the sanatorium.

The negro appeared suddenly and seizing her by the throat dragged her about 50 feet to a spot behind a log hidden from the trail. He is alleged to have threatened to cut her throat if she cried out. Details of the assault in the hands of the authorities were not complete today. Yesterday the authorities were of the opinion that the negro had not succeeded in his attack; today opin ion was expressed that should he be captured he- will be indicted for crim inal attack and face trial for a capi tal offense. SIX HUNDRED NEW STUDENTS REGISTERED Certain That This Number Will Be Exceeded at the University. Chapel Hill, Aug. 17. —More than six hundred applications for admit tance to the freshman class of the University of North Carolina next fall have already been received by Thomas J. Wilson, Jr. registrar. This num ber which is a substantial increase over the applications received at the corresponding time last year indicates that the number of freshmen entering the University at the opening of the Fall quarter on September 17th will run well over 800. Seven hundred and fifty-three applicants entered last fall. A new system of registration giving special attention to freshmen, will be put into effect for the first time next fall. The system, which is tire same as that used in many of the large uni versities, divides the registration of the freshman class from the upper classes. The entire class will meet in Me morial Hall September 15th at 9 a. m. for instruction in the routine of the week. The students will be or ganized into twenty-five registration teams of approximately thirty men each. A faculty advisor and a stu dent assistant will be in charge of each team. The remainder of the day, from 10 o’clock untii 5, will be devoted to consultation with the deans of the respective schools and with the counselors. physical examinations, learning the location of rooms and li brary tours. At 7:30. o’clock Tuesday night the class will meet in sections for mental alertness tests. Registration by teams will take place Wednesday, September 16th. In addition to registration there will be physical examinations, group lectures on student government and the honor system, and the continuation of li brary tours. At 7 :30 the class will assemble in sections for placement ex aminations. Thursday will be a general settling down period. In the afternoon ques tion and answer meetings will be held in Gerrard Hall, for the attendance of those who have tangles they *want straightened out. That night, al 7:30 o’clock, the freshmen will meel by schools for instruction from the deans of the various school. Classes which should have been held Tfcurs day, will be postponed to Saturday foi the freshmen. To show the end of the bitter feel ing which existed at one titme be tween the sophomores and the fresh men, the sophomore class, in co-opera tion with tiie dormitories, has ar ranged a series of smokers to be held in dormitories all over the campus Friday and Saturday. The Univer sity sermon Sunday evening will enc the activities for the week. ~r Had Been the Rounds. He took her hand in his and gazed proudly at the engagement ring he had placed on her fair finger only three days before. "Did your friends admire it?” he inquired tenderly. "They did more than that,” she replied coldly. "Two of them recog nized it” Barks From a Pup Tent. Oversease we had to face liquid % when a group of progressive farmers in the Tees River valley in northeast ern Britain joined to bring their live stock together for comparison. It has been termed the first agricultural fair and was the model after which were patterned the hundreds of coun try fairs both here and in England. Origin of Fairs. Elkanah Watson, of New York, has been credited with being the father of the American fair. In 1815 Wat son organized the argicultural so ciety of Albany, N. Y., and proceeded to establish fairs and cattle shows in the neighboring counties. In 1819, due mainy to his influence, the New York legislature appropriated ten thousand dollars a year for six years for premiums on agricultural and home, manufacture products. In 1832 the state agricultural society was founded and work started in other eastern states. But while Watson was busy converting farmers and leg islators to the value of fairs, the Co lumbian Agricultural Society held what is believed to be the first exhi bition cf its kind in Washington, D. C. in 1810. Pittsfield. Mass., shortly thereafter inaugurated regular agricultral ex hibits, and from these first small ef forts grew up our system of commun ity, county, stated, district, national and international fairs which cover practically every section of the coun try. The development of the fair in the United States has been one of normal growth and expansion, according to Samuel R. Guard, who is one of the leading exponents of agricultural ex hibits in America. The successful contestant in a local fair naturally wished to compare his products with those of winners in other local fairs. That was how the county fair came to be. The state fair with its wider appeal was the next logical step, and there county winners went to settle disputes on the relative merits of their products. Eventually this lead to competition between states, culminat ing first in the interstate fair, later in the national show and finally in the international exhibit. Many a national champion grain grower or I livestock breeder today can trace his success to some little honor captured at the county fair years ago. Inspires Ambition. The appealing thing about the coun ty fair is the opportunity it offers , the farmer to compare his own work | with that of his neighbors and so in t spires in him a healthy ambition to improve himself and his work, states j Mr. Guard. Within easy distance of j his home, he can examine the best an j imals, grains, fruits and vegetables, j poultry and honey and determine where he falls short of the mark. Likewise his wife can pit her needle work. her baking and pastry her canned fruits and vegetabes against those of other farm women and enjoy the thrill and reward that comes out of victory. Altogether the country fair stimulates friendly competition that haS been responsible for much of j the farm progress in the past cen ■tury, he says. The educational value of the farm j implement and equipment displays that are part of all the better fairs j is one of the most commendable fea | tures, according to Mr. Guard. State and federal government exhibits bring home to the farmer lessons in grow ing his products more economically and efficiently, and household furnish ings and labor saving devices on view : work directly for the improvement of country life. PERSON PULLS NEW ONE TO GET MONEY Passes One Dollar Bill With Ten Dol lar Comer.—Failed to Work Here, However. When checking on the day’s sales at Cline’s Pharmacy Monday night, it was found that a clever attempt to make money at the expense of the store had been made. A one dollar bill was passed for a ten dollar bill. During the course of the day, some person in payment for a purchase . handed over a one dollar bill. It was folded in such away that only one corner showed and on this corner was pasted a piece torn from a ten dol lar bill. It seemed to be the idea that the clerk would fail to open it and give change for the large amount. That the ruse did not work was shown by the fact that the cash reg ister checked up all right. Unusual Mail Robbery. Waukegan, 111., Aug. 19.—0 P) unusual mail robbery at Highwood, near here, was. disclosed today when it was learned that a pouch of regis j tered mail, thrown from a Chicago & | Northwestern train rushing through j the village, was snatched up by a man who leaped out of an automobile and escaped. The postmaster at Highwayy said the registered mail received at his office often contained $4,000. No Pedestrian.

Newport, R. 1., Aug. 19.—The death list of the Mackinac disaster suddenly mounted to 17 this morning (Wed nesday) with the report from the Newport naval station that that num ber had been identified. The explos ion of the boilers of the excursion steamer last evening caused injuries to more than 100 passengers and mem bers of the crew but earlier reports had placed the total dead at four with 14 in a dangerous condition. The injured were taken to the nav al hospital and the Newport hospital. Scores of passengers with superficial wounds went to their homes after be ing given first aid treatment. All the injuries were caused by scalding steam escaping from the boilers. The boat was bound from Newport to Pawtucket. The bodies of the vessel, which car ried 677 excursion passengers, burst when it was opposite the naval train ing station in Narragansett sound. It was said that a patch placed on the boilers last night had blown off. The steamer was headed for the shore and a distress call was sent to all battleships in the harbor. Boat loads of injured were taken to the naval hospital. Naval medical officers and every physician in the vicinity were called upon to assist in caring for the in jured. The usual excursion crowd consist ed for the most part of women and children. Panic among those who es caped injury in the explosion is be lieved to have added to the casualty list. The explosion tore the entire mid dle section of the boat apart and scald ed passengers and officers who were near the engine room. Nearly all the passengers came from Pawtucket. Among them were 10 policemene all of whom were reported injured. The fear-crazed crowd in the ex cursion steamer became frantic and many jumped into the water. Two yachts reported picking up men. Report of Explosion on Vessel. Washington, Aug. 19. —(A*) —A re port on the explosion aboard the steamer Mackinac received at the Na vy Department today from the naval hospital at Newport said: “Seventy nine casualties received from steamer Mackinac at 7 p. m. August 18th.” "Twenty received treatment and were sent home; 29 died; 30 remain in hospital, of which several are in a critical condition.” Attack President of Bulgarian Cham ber of Deputies. Paris, Aug. 19.—(A*)—Forty Bul garian communists late last night waylaid and beat up the President and vice-president of the Bulgarian cham ber of deputies. The attack was made as they emerged from the Decorative Arts Exposition. Two police officials came to the res cue of the Bulgarian statesmen, and pushed them into an automobile which was proceeding up the Champs Elysee. The communists followed the bus, how ever, and stormed it. Finally a force of policemen scattered them and ar rested two of the most violent. Fighting the Billboards. Monroe Enquirer. The billboards that blot the high ways so often seem to be face! by a concerted attack all over the country. The censure arises from the ruth lessness of the advertisers in so plac ing their boards as to destroy much of the scenic beauty of the highways. It is due to the failure of the bill board interests to appreciate the fact tbat there are legitimate uses and lo calities for such advertising where the rights of the general public will be fully regarded. As an expression of this hostility to such advertising, the State of Maine has passed a law which will put an end to all such advertising in that state. Farmers who put all their eggs in one basket and sold them co operatively this year made a good ’profit, say marketing specialists. The cooperative marketing of poultry and eggs paid handsome return in some North Carolina counties. THE CONCORD TIMES CONCORD MAN WRITES TO GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS In an edition 4»f the Greensboro Daily News Sunday, August 16th, ap pear a letter written by a Concord man, Rev. P. E. Lindley, in answer to a series of articles by Charles Coon. The articles calling forth this response were on the subject of col lege English as found in college cata logues. Mr. Lindley has lived in Concord for several months. He came here to take charge of the Methodist Prot estant Church during the summer months and will remain here until October list. He is professor of edu cation and religious education in High Point College; The text of the article iB as fol lows : Editor of The Daily News: We who have found the time and patience to follow Mr. Coon’s noisy outbursts on “College English,” are puzzled to know just what the gentle man Ls trying to say. If he means to suggest that college catalogues are hard to understand he is only stating a fact which everybody knows. Any one who has read a college catalogue, a baseball guide or an income tax blank may, no doubt, share Mr. Coon’s perplexity. But even at that there is no particular need of casting up a cloud of smoke just because a few technical terms are used in de scribing a college course, or because an institution desires to bring its ad vantages before the public. The first of these principles is inevitable. The second also is primary and essential to human progress. In the first place, no bulletin citn describe its courses other than in technical terms. To outline a course in psychology one would not employ agricultural or street language. It is no discredit to the course to have it described in psychological concepts. It could not be otherwise. Who would expect to find a course of sociology described in terms of sharps, flats, major and minor chords, tone' rela tionships or musical keys? Any course has to be outlined in terms of its con tent. And it frequently happens that the reader knows nothing about these words. They are not placed there because he knows them. They are there waiting to be made known. No one need expect the catalogue writer to describe everything in terms of the layman’s vocabulary. This would be the same as to blame the ancient Greeks for using "gamma” instead of “g,” since we are more familiar with the latter. For example. Mr. Coon quotes the Cullowliee bulletin which mentions the topic, "Innate tendencies and their neural bases,” "correlation of traits,” etc., and suggests that this “bun combe must surely strike with whole some awe” the students who are pre paring to teach. Again, while dis secting the Greensboro Colllege cata logue, the gentleman grieves to find the well used phrase, “from within outward.” Hence he declares, "The law of within outward” (notice he misquotes the words) and the bring ing of the voice and body into sym pathetic and harmonious response in personality must be pure buncombe.” Well, what does the distinguished educator of the ea6t expect to find in a college catalogue? Does he expect Cullowhee, for instance, to describe the course in any less technical words? Does he want the entire course to be given in the bulletin? Certainly the full course cannot be simplified into everyday English and spread on the pages of the catalogue* A few cen tral topics and psychological terms must suffice! The full purport of the terms can never be given in the outline. The course is not given in the caatalogue. The course is given in ffne classroom! All difficult names and terms are not to he simplified in the bulletin—that’s what the one hun dred and twenty semester hours are for. The gentleman’s argument re minds one of the man who, without the konwledge of a letter in the al phabet, got mad at the optician be cause he would not seD him a pair of glasses he could read through! As to the second principle, name ly, bringing the advantages of an in stitution before the public, I must state that no man of ordinary judg ment would attempt to operate his business by advertising its unattrac tive and weak features. The college officials know that in the quest of education young men and women are, in some measure, aware of the edu cational elements. Beauty, health, morality and socialibity go into life development. The school that has these, or any one of them in an ex traordinary degree, is only exercising its brain by giving forceful publicity to the same. Nature has willed that these splendid elements shall- help constitute the fuller life and college heads contain sense enough to know it. But I am no lover or maker of college catalogues, and lienee am ex cusable under Mr. Coon on the point of English. College bulletins, no doubt, may often deserve a place on the "index” of imperfect grammar. But still I wonder just what the getleman is trying to say as he swoops down, violently attacks a prudeent paragrapher and then proceeds to make his escape through a cloud of rhetoric. P. E. LINDLEY.

It is a rather hard matter to guage with any accuracy just what strength State College will have in football this year. The team may turn out to be anything. It may spring to the fore front or it may be struggling for bot tom place. In the case of Carolina, Make For est and Davidson, there were enough old players returning to make it pos sible to estimate approximately where they would stand. With State it is different. State College alumni who have re cently visited the College and confer red with the coaches have brought back the news that five letter men are sure to return. This gives a total of six experienced players to start with as opi>osed to twelve returning to Dav idson, fourteen to Carolina and eigh teen to Wake Forest. All of the five sure men are backfield stars; the one possibility is in the line. This gives the coaches a pretty task in constructing a totally new line to prepare the way for the expe rienced backs. If, in this Herculean task, the coaches are successful, then State inay be looked to as having one of the outstanding elevens in North Carolina. If a line cannot be devel oped in a couple of months, then State will wallow round in the'slough of bottom position. It all depends on the line. Taking first the players who re turn, it will be noted that there are some men the equal of any in the state. Al Johnson, briliant halfback, was was unanimously selected on the mythical All-Carolina elevens and who was even placed on several South ern selections, will again return to State. Al is easily one of the best men in the state. He is fast and is good on throwing or receiving a for ward pass. His end runs are some thing to write about. In addition to Al there is Jean ette, quarter of last year’s team. He is a ten second man and will probably be used this year at halfback, accord ing to information brought here from the coaches. Both the Shuford boys will return and should better their playing of last year since both were on the injured list during the entire season. Both men are halfbacks. Faulkner', a full back, will take again his old position. These five men would make a good backfield for any team. But’ the line is where the coaches will have to worry. It is barely possible that one of the Logan boys from Shelby will return as a linesman. The entire remaining portion of the forward positions will have to be filled from last year's sub stitutes aud freshmen. To make mat ters worse, all the freshmen stars were backfield men. The line was lit tle to brag on. Jack McDowell gives prospects of becoming the foremost, quarterback in the state. He has a good head and is a ten second man. The coaches con sider him their most Krililant pros pect. Another freshman, Hunsucker, from Shelby, is also a good man. The coaches are pleased with “Pea nut” Ridenhour’s work at quarter and consider that he has good prospects of making a valuable man. The Con cord boy played in a number of fresh man games last year and will be giv en a chance to show his mettle, it is said. CHILD KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT AT BIG LICK Three-l’ear-Old Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Morton, of Oakboro, Loses Life. Stanly News-Herald. A most shocking accident happened at Big Lick about 6:30 o’clock Fri day afternoon when a Ford touring car driven by F. W. Dry, of the Oak boro section, ran over Rachel, the little three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Morton, of Oak boro, killing her almost instantly. The accident happened just in front of the home of Jonah Cagle and was seen by several persons other than the driver of the car. As Dry was driving along the street, according to reports, at a rate of from 15 to 20 miles an hour, the child ran across the street immediately in front of the car, making it impossible for the driv er to-stop before striking the little girl. County Coroner T. Finch Morgan was immediately, called, and he went to the scene of the accident A jury was summoned and it was decided that the accident was unavoidable. Dry stated to the jury that he saw the child by the side of the road, and slowed down. He then turned to speak to some one on rhe other side of the street and when his eyes were again turned he saw the child imme diately in front of his car. He said it was impossible for him to stop. He seemed very much torn up over the tragedy. A Londoner with a reputation as a pugilist had gone from London to fight a Scot farmer whose great strength had been praised in the press. He the yard of the Scot, tied his horse to a tree and ap proached the farmer who was work ing nearby. "Friend,” he said, “I have heard a great deal about you and I came a long way to see which of*us is the better wrestler.” The Scotchman, without answering seized the young man by the mid dle of the body, pitched him over the fence and returned to his work. When his lordship recovered his breath he stood silent. “Well,” said the farmer, “have you anything more to say to me?” ’ “No,” was the reply, “but perhaps you’ll be good enough to throw me my horse.” Seeking Safe Blowers.

AGREEMENT IKES IT EAST MATTER ; TO SETTLE DEBT Belgium Will Pay Debt to United States Within 62 Years Under Agreement Made at Conferences. PLAN IS STUDIED IN BELGIUM NOW t The Attitude of Great Bri tain Is Not Known as London Officials Have Nothing to Say. Washington, Aug. 19. — UP)—Bear ing the personal approval of Presi dent Uoolidge. terms for funding the Belgian war debt to the United States have been worked out by the debt commissions of the two nations after negotiations of unusual brevity. Little more than a week was re quired to bring accord on the pro gram of repayment of the little king dom's debt which was fixed at $417,- 780,000 as of June 15, 1925. The funding plan agreed upon late yesterday came in the same month which eleven years ago marked the opening of the World War. The terms provided for a remission of interest on $171,780,000 loaned prior to the armistice, and for a part remission of interest on the $246,- 000,000 borrowed for reconstruction work. The agreement, subject to ratifica tion by the American Congress and the Belgian government, was described as recognizing by the United States “a weighty moral obligation” as a re sult of assurances given the little kingdom by President Wilson at the time of the Versailles peace confer ence, and also the right of Belgium to particult treatment by this nation, to particular treatment by this na tion. The terms call for complete pay ment within 62 years. Studying Arrangement. Rrussels, Aug. 19.—The Belgian de partment of finance today began its study of the arrangement reached at Washington for the funding of this country’s obligations to the United States. It is expected at least 48 hours must elapse before the effects the agreement will exercise on Belgium’s finances can be judged and an opin ion rendered as to whether it is con sidered satisfactory or not. London Silent. London, Aug. 19. — UP) —Official cir cles her£ were silent today regarding the settlement reached in Washington for funding Belgium’s debt to United States. Tiie impression was given, however, that the favorable nature of terms was to be expected, and that unless close study revealed new angles at present unknown, the British government will not depart from the previous policy of refraining from pressing Belgium in connection with financial obligations to this country. % Not New—But The Truth. We may have our differences of opinion in matter of politics; we may not agree on the subject of religion; some of us have notions that other folks think are crazy and other folks have ideas we thing lake in sound reasoning; but on one point we are all agreed; we all want to see our home town grow and prosper. Some experts contend that good trading facilities build population and real estate values; others say that good 6tores follow population, but again all agree that local prosperity can never come until adequate trad ing facilities are established. Good stores are the life of any community. Moreover we know we cannot have good stores if they are not profitably supported. No town was ever built by its inhabitants send ing their money out of town. A dol lar spent in town travels from home to the grocer, to the butcher, then to the hardware merchant, and so on around the whole wheel of home trade. Spent in the town the dollar remains in the town and adds to the town’s wealth. By and by some man gathers enough of these home float dollars, builds another home or makes an addition to his store, and so value increases, benefitting everybody. Spent out of town the dollar has gone for ever. There are some folks who buy their speels of cotton and now and then a yard or two of goods at home, but when they want to buy a fur coat or a piano they get out the mail order catalogue or go out of town. • They, use the home town merchant to fill their petty needs but when he has a chance to make areasonable profit they forget him. It’s scarcely fair, is it?’ And if it is, it isn’t very sen sible. 'We are all working together to make the home town brighter and better and the property of every one, our own included, more valuable. Too Late. •Oh, George! George! Come! Startled out of his nightre George sprang from his bed at the sound of his wife’s voice. George! Oh, George! His wife was in peril. She whom he loved better than life itself—his young wife, his first and only love! George! Quick! He scrambled into his clothes! Not a moment was to be lost. He must save her. George! George! George! At last hte was on his way down, three stirs at a time, to arrive breathless in the dinning-room. Ah! George, you are too late! Too late. Too late? Yes, baby had his toes in his mouth and he looked too cute for words! Why didn’t you come when I called? A r | CHARLOTTE EVENS COUNT WITH KANNAPOLIS CLUB Visiting Slabbtet Was Heavy Contrib-, utor in Winning Ball Game.—Lee! Hits Homer With Man on Base. j BY JAZZY MOORE (Special to The Tribune) Kannapolis, Aug. 14.—The Villa Heights, Charlotte Sunday School League leaders, batted the Kannapol ians to an even break in their series here by taking the final tilt, 7 to 4. The first game was won by a 2 to 1 decision over the Queen City leaguers earlier in the season. The locals wore first to count, n walk and a double generating a run in the first inning. Disgusting. It took the Villians three innings to overcome this lead. But the third stand they started in slamming and Kannapolis started in throwing wild ’ ly, and when everything had calmed down Villa Heights had a trio of markers. Not so bad! James took a walk to open the fourth stanza and took second unmolested,* and advanc ed to third base on a wild pitch and scored when Hopkins sacrificed to center. Heart breaking! Again James walked to raise the curtain in the sixth act. Causel caught one of Champion’s fast ones on the end of his bat. and manipulated a long soarer to right. Alexander, who hadn’t ev en seen the ball all day, finally slap ped out a whoozy roller, tallying both men. To make matters worse, Sum mers came along in the ninth to throw in an extra run. Really dis gusting ! Feature Hay of the Game. Johnny Johnson saved Villa Heights the trouble of making a run in the eighth. Hopkins belted a long one to short field and Johnson was in too far. Running at top speed with liis back to the ball, Johnny appeared to be in a hopeless chase as far as mak ing a putout was concerned. By a sudden lunge in the air he speared the ball, back hand, and returned it before a run could score. Lee Hits Pellet. An error by Summers allowed Kan napolis to push a lone run over in the eighth. In the final scene Mr. Lee came w’ithin our line of vision. He said to himself he must an nex a circuit cloud before the game was over—and he clouted furiously. The ball sailed away in the general di rection of Concord. It was a homer that was responsible for half of our runs. Saunders was perched on first. Both Picthers Hit Freely. Both Willie James, former Danville Piedemont hurler, and “Lefty” Cham pion, one of the local mainstays, were hit rather freely. Too many bases on balls proved Champion’s undoing. Three times Champion walked the opposing slabblst and three times runs were chalked up for Charlotte. \ Gastonia. Next. The next station is the Gastonia af fair. as a prelude to the “titled se ries” with Fayetteville next week. The Gastonia boys have been playing some good baseball and fans will regret it if they fail to see these celebrated youngsters perform. The game will start at 4 o’clock at the Cabarrus field. CABARRUS BEAT BLEACHERS AND GO ON THE TOP Mauldin Loses Hard Battle After Holding Gates at Bay For Three In nings.—Final Game Next Tuesday. (BY JAZZY MOORE) Kannapolis, Aug. 15.—Cabarrus and Bleachery fought five innings of the best league ball ever seen here Fri day. Cabarrus was fighting with their backs to the wall to break a deadlock that has existed between the two teams for some and with the heady “Bub” Sullivan on the hill, the Cabs finally defeated the Bleachers 4 to 1. Gives But Two Hits. Like the immortal Robert E. Lee. Paul Mauldin emerged from the con flict a loser in the abbreviated engage ment, but the little fellow covered himself with undying glory in the first bitter struggle with the Cabs. No better baseball has ever been pitched on a Kannapolis diamond. Master of his knuckle ball, king of his curve, and uncanny in his perfect control, of everything he had, the Bleachery star hurled such baseball that for three consecutive innings the Cabs were heled hitless and without a run. It was three up and three down, with the fielders having easy chances most of the time. Mauldin deserved that ball game if a pitcher ever did deserve one. The great trouble was that his teammates could not make a run for him. Only two fluke hits were given the Cabs. Score by Innings. Bleachery made their run in the second inning when Lipe doubled to center. Centerfielder Gilliam was all set to make it a clean play, but it was a trifle too far to the left for him to handle. The pill evaded his grasp and before a play could be attempted Lipe had strutted down the home stretch. Another Bleacher secured a hit before the inning elapsed. A rank error by Williams helped the Cabs to score two runs in the fourth stanza. Helms’ and Johnson’s singles accounted for the rest of the tallies. Possibly the best fielding play went to Johnson in rightfield for the win ners. 'Hutton, for Bleachery, showed that he was adept at snatching them out of the dirt, which ability proved valuable in the game. Final Game. The final game of the second half and of the entire season will be played Tuesday at the Cabarrus park between these two clubs. “Hard Charlie” Brown, from Concord, will twirl ’em over for the Cabs, while Weathers, city team pitcher, will get the Bleach ery assignment.
