PAGE TWO SPORT STATIC —BY RADIO KINO— Tune In the Eyes For An Earful A Jazzy Program. Radio Station XTZ, Monday. Sept. 12th Mr. Jazzy Moore, Sports Mechanic, Kannapolis, N. C. Dear Jazzy: Life isn't what it use to be. No, sir, not since baseball between Con- Concord and Kannapolis got “all wet" last Thursday. Yes. 1 turned a bath ing beauty with the rest of the crowd and got as wet as the Atlantic ocean Thursday, and for fear that I might warp I am reluctant about basking in the sunhine. Just like the story of the three egge, two bad—-that it rained so early in the week. That shower would have saved bath tubs from much dirt, had it visited Webb field Saturday. But. Jazzy, no more baseball until next year ! The thought is paralvzing. I wonder what Banks Corl, Charlie Ritz, JJck Brown and the rest of those ardent fans will find for pastime. And. Jazzy, what are we to do? Cracked ice. but that’s a whale of a question. For a long time. I sup pose, I’ll mies your jabs in the Kan napolis column. You won t have a thing to argue about, and I think that means a vacation for you, be cause argument i« your life-blood. The Concord fans, we imagine, will be glad that you have no arguments to offer. But. Jazzy, I again proffer the the question : Whtft are we to do since baseball has been baptised and put away for the winter months? I fear that the government wouid deny us the opportunity to try a non-stop flight across the Atlantic or Pacific. And, if we should ever try to to do such a thing, I, for one, would be mighty proud if the government did stop us. Who wants to be a break fast for a whale or a shark anyway? You know, Jazzy, while we have been troubling our minds over this baseball business that most of the American aviators have been lost at sea. Gee, it’s not so bad to be in the sort of work we are after all, because we wouldn’t be as lucky as Jonah if we tried flying over the Atlantic. Since we have got accustomed to sitting down so much at ball games, Jazzy, I am sure we wouldn’t be suc cesses aa caddies up at the country club. I understand that the motion picture industry is crying for a couple birds like us. But since a lot of hunting has been going on out of season, we’de be shot, and that would be tragedy. Motion picture fans want humor, therefore tragedy wouldn’t do, and it would be useless for us to let Mr. DeMille know that we would like the job. Sure is puzzling what we’ll do this winter? As sparring partners Tunney or Dempsey might appreciate us. The job would be eaay, too. Because if either ever socked us once we’d be “easy” in somebody’s hospital or cem etery for a long time. Since giving this matter a second thought, I don’t believe I’ll apply for such a Job. Any way, Jazzy, I hope that Dempsey will wallop Tunney like Concord did Kan napolis last Monday, 20 to 0. Alas. Jazzy, I see the possibilities of a job in sports writing for the next three months. I understand that Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute and the Concord High School desire me to pen the activities of their football teams. I’ll accept the job. M. P. C. I. Is going to have a great eleven this sea son, too, if present indications mean anything. A squad of 30-odd play ers are working out daily, and at last two-thirds of the number are let ter men. The outlook at the Con cord high isn’t so bright at the pres ent, but Coach Count Leggett, that former Davidson flash, is bound to mould a formidable team. Well, Jazzy, the clarion of Towel town, write us a letter and tell what you have decided to do this winter. Merry Christmas! RADIO. P. S.—Never accept any wooden nickels.

A composite team of Weavers and Towelers defeated Kendal Mills of Paw Creek, 5 to 3, before a throug oi 1,400 fans Saturday afternoon at Webb field. The contest was unique inasmuch as both Concord and Kan fiapoiis won the same game, and all evidence of Hl-feeling between the Concord and Kannapolis fans and players vanished. The Saturday game was played primarily to honor the rain checks of Thursday when a downpour halted in the first inning the ordeal between the Weavers and Towelers at Webb field. Moat of the great throng in at tendance Thursday was present for the game Saturday. The Towelers and Weavers over came an early lead of Paw Creek in the seventh and eighth innings when lucky homeruns by Mottsinger and Mut Miller, each coming with one on the bag. added four scores to the tal ly cha’ked up in the third on doubles by Irby and Mottsinger.

CONCORD WEAVERS CLOSED SUCCESSFUL SEASON LAST WEEK Skipper Lindy Lewellyn Guided Team to 29 Victor ies, With Only 16 Defeats. —Outen Stars. Bjr RADIO KINO The Concord Wearers skilfully weaved an impressive record during the season just ended, winning 20 games and losing 16 tilts; and as Venus cries out: If any club can beat that record, trot it out for in spection. Skiper * Clement Manly Lewe lyn was the guiding spirit in Concord’s success, always injecting in to his protogees that “never-sid-die fight” and directing the team in bitp of strategy from his alert brain. In the percentage column Concord's season standing is told in the follow ing: Won Lost Pet. Concord 29 16 .644 As all Concord fans will surely agree, the 1927 season was one of spills, thrills, and worries. The Weav ers were a trifle slow in getting away to a good start, yielding thrice to Kannapolis attacks before acquiring the equanimity which was character istic of the season’s fight. Os the sixteen reverses given to Concord, nine of the defeats were at the hands of the Towelers; five defeats by Paw Creek: and a setback each by Fay etteville and Statesville. To offset the Kannapolis reverses the Weavers won ten games from the Towelers. In fielding, in batting, and in base running the Weavers maintained steady and pleasing records. It is safe to say that the Concord team holds a season's batting average of more than .300, and in fielding ranks among the leaders in the semi-pro circles of the state. In base-running the Concord players have excelled others. With Murray Greason lead ing the parade, the Weavers have kept infielders in a spin when going around the boundaries of the diamond. Sensational Record. Chink Outen, the idol of Concord fans, who reports today to State Col lege for football training, looms as the outstanding semi-pro player in the state by reason of his marvelous batting, decidedly in Ruthian style. Onten established a batting average of .413 for the season’s play, work ing in 39 games * In 155 trips to the plate the husky rightfie’der rapped out 64 hits, including thirteen home runs, ten doubles and seven triples. The type of player everyone ad mires Outen is the hero of more than one game during the season for Con cord. His slugging has been the means on many occasions to bring “home the bacon” for Concord. Major Vague scouts have been impressed with his style, and many have clam bered to sign him up. But Chink re fuses to place his cognomen on the dotted line until he finishes college. Outen is a football artist, too. We advise the fans to watch him ‘‘go this season. Hord in All Games. Oddly enough, Arthur Hord, flashy shortfie.der, is the only Concord play er who performed in every game dur ing the season. Hord saw duty in 46 games (including contest last Sat urday), and in 198 visits to the plate he put the wood on 61 bite for au average of .316. Hord goes to De roit as soon as he completes his edu cation. He expects to enter college his fall but has not determined which institution he will attend. A Tiger scout signed the youthful shortstop maneuvers carried out during the P month," including numerous day an n : ght attacks under service conditions.
