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!

Kendall Mills of Paw Creek,
Fell Before Attack of the
Weavers and Towelers
Here Saturday.
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.
Three pitcher worked on the, mound
for the composite Cabarrus team.
Lawson started and retired in favor
of Conklin in the seventh, while
Morris grapsed the pitching reins in
the ninth. The Paw Creek players
gave up when they went to bat in the
ninth. takißg their turns at bat out
of order-
The crowd was well pleased with
the game, and none were heard to
speak displeasure of the manner i i
which the rain checks were redeemed.
The Kannapolis players in the
line-up were: Irby. Donaldson Conk
lin, Lee 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
<ome weeks ago.
Mutt Miller's development as a
player appears as one of the most
interesting of all events during the
season. When the season began back
in June it seemed certain that Miller
would be unable to make the grade
n leftfield, but suddenly he flared as a
natural product for the game, fielding
beautifully and walloping the sphere
hard and consistently. His batting
average is .303 for the season.
In the following is given the bat
ting average for the season of each
Weaver who played in more than two
;ames:

SPIRITUALISM NOT
SATISFACTORY FOR
HIM, SAYS BISHOP
Bishop Cheshire Attacks
Spiritualism in Sermon
Here. —Dedicates Organ to
Former Rector.
Spiritualism was attacked in a ser
mon here Sunday morning in All
Saints Church by Bishop Joseph
Blount Cheshire, of the Diocese of
North Carolina. “Babblings” from
the other side of the “dark curtain”
give no*satisfaction to the Christian,
Bishop Cheshire declared.
Before -Beginning his sermon Bishop
Cheshire dedicated the pipe organ in
All Saints as a memorial to Rev. S.
M. Hamp. who served the congregation
several years ago and who died during
the influenza epidemic.
Bishop Cheshire declared he knew
Mr. Hamp from a boy and that he
'was “always an admirable, fine, hon
est, straight-forward, manly person.”
Mr. Hamp was always deeply devot
ed to his woTk, and his goodness,
simplicity and frankness made all love
him, the Bishop added. “If you
would show your appreciation of him,”
said Bishop Cheshire, “make the prop
er use of the organ. Use it in a true
enint of worshin The organ is not
to be used to drown out the voices
ox tne worshippers. It Is intended to
be an aid to them in expressing their
feeling in unity of expression.”
In discussing spiritualism Bishop
Cheshire said, “in all that I have seen
of alleged communication from the
there has been absolutely
nothing more than a reflection back
ot the most commonplace mundane
ideas and feelings.’’
“If a man dies, shall he live again?”
was the Bishop’s text, and he sought
to show that only through the death
and resurrection of Jesus was life
hereafter possible.
“Babblings from the other side of
the dark curtain offer no satisfaction
as an answer to this question which
has puzzled many generations,” Bish
op Cheshire said. "There is no note
of eternity in rfuch alleged communica
tions, no breathing of the Divine, no
atmoshere of the presence and peace
of God. They are earthly and in them
there is no real strength.”
Questioning the value of spirit
ualism, Bishop Cheshire said, “there
is uothing of dignity, nothing of noble
thought or emotion, nothing of senti
ment to stir the heart or enlighten
the mind or to t&uch the conscience
or even to stimulate the imagination;
nothing, even, of tender pity or pathos,
save perchance the pity and the pathos
of some loving human heart hanging
for Comfort upon dead images of false
spirituality.
"Suppose there should be some im
material adumbration of a real per
sonality left behind by the departing
spiilt, along with the perishing body,
how could these cast off garments,
how could these help or comfort us,
seeing they would put the snake skins,
so to speak, of the true personality
which abides in the spirit of our loved
ones. The freed spirits of the departed
are in Pradise with the Lord Jesus.
I Key are not with those who have a
familiar spirit or with wizards who
i peep and mutter.”
Bishop Cheshire quoted several sen
tences from Hawthorne in support of
his idea. " “lake no part, I beseech
you, in magintic miracles. I am un
willing that a power should be ex
ercised on you of which we know neith
er the origin nor the consequences of
which seem rather calculated to hinder
us that to teach us any truth about
the future or present state of being
. . . I have uo faith whatever thal
people gain any insight into the
mysteries of life beyond the grave
by means of strange science.”
Warning against individuals living
long in sorrow for their departed
relatives was sounded by Bishop Ches
hire. "God has taken them, and it
is not for us to rebel against His will
In Christ we and they are still united.
They are in peace in the more im
mediate presence of the Lord. They
will love us. They, as we, look for
ward to a joyful reunion.
"In the communion of saints we
are more closely united than our
human limitations allow us to realize.
But, at any rate God has taken them,
and He has us any promise or
intimation of present communication
w-ith them. And He knows best.”

President Does Not Discuss I
Agriculture in Broolin
Brookings. S. D., Sept. 10.— (A 3 ) —
Journeying toward Washington from
the Agricultural Northwest, Presi
dent Coolidge stopped off in this city
today to dedicate the Lincoln Memo
ral Library at the South Dakota
State College with an address devoted
almost wholly to education and mark
ed by the absence of any reference to
the farm relief fight or any other con
troversial problem.
Politicians who had confidently pre
dicted that Mr. Coolidge in speaking
at an agricultural college ceremony
would take the opportunity to out
line the farm relief plans of the ad
ministration were disappointed, for
the President swung the trend of h s
speech around toward the spiritual
value of education and a eulogy of
the jr-rt played by Abraham Lincoln
in f6fs direction.
“We have been excessively busy
seeking for information that could be
turned to practical advantage in the
matter of cents, rather
than for that wisdom which would
guide us through eternity,” Mr. Cool
idge said. "Our h : gher educational
institutions have turned their thoughts
