MARY VIRGINIA BLACK WELDER. ARCHIE F. GOODMAN, Executors. Palmer & Blackwelder, Attorneys. September Bth, 1927. s ' . the CONCORD TIMES ‘ SERIES FOR TITLE OF COUNTY CALLED OFF BY DIRECTORS Joint Meeting of Moguls and Managers of Concord and Kannapolis Clubs Held Friday Night. By RADIO KING. The moguls and managers of the Concord and Kannapolis Baseball Clube, in joint session Thursday night, acted wisely when they moved unani mously to discontinue the current series between the Weavers and Towel ers for the Cabarrus championship. The fiery feeling between the /ans and players of both towns prompted the step. A continuance of the series, it is obvious, would bring unhallowed results of which both places would be ashamed. The heavy rain and wind storm, halting Thursday’s game in the first inning at which a frenzied throng of more than 3,000 persons was present, prevented trouble that was rapidly brewing. The umpires had angered the fans by their questionable de cisions, and police were encountering much trouble in holding back the crowds. When thn driving rainstorm broke over Webb field Concord was taking its bat in the first inning, and had. scored one run with none out. The Towelers had two markers. Never before in the history of Ca barrus county has a larger crowd of people assembled for an athletic event as. for the contest yesterday. It was red letter day in Concord, tbe stores and all business suspending activity for. the afternoon to permit the em ployees to witness the tilt. A victory would have cinched the championship for Concord, while a win for Kannap olis would have given the club an even chance for the pennant. Although Con cord holds a one-game lead in the season's series over Kannapolis, neith re place will claim the county title. Th is agreement was reached at the Thursday night meeting. , The clubs were scheduled to play two more games since the battle Thursday was prevented by rain. Nineteen games have already been fought, Concord having won ten, and the Towelers nine. The Agreement. “We, the undersigned managers of the Kannapolis and Concord Baseball Clubs, respectively, at the instance of a baseball com mittee from -each place, realizing the tense feeling tteit has arisen between the fans and players, and having the welfare of the two towns at heart, think that it is best to call off the other games scheduled between the two teams. This action has taken by and with the consent of the directors of both clubs, and it is done without prejudice to the standing of either clubs or without making either club making any championship claims. “B. E. WILSON. “C. M. LEWELLTN.” As Jake Wade stated in his Sport Whirl column of today’s Observer, Concord and Kannapolis had set the sky the limit in procuring baseball material for the final games. So rap idly did the managers of the two clubs change players that we doubt seriously if they knew all the players they were giving tremendous salaries. The clubs quit semi-professional ball two weeks ago, and began to scour the South Atlantic, Virginia and Pied mont leagues for players. The suc ceeded in getting the men, but the prices came high. Two more weeks of such procedure, and we dare say that most of the fans in both places would have ‘‘had to mortgage house and lot” to pay salaries to ball players. It seems to us that jointly Concord and Kannapolis could ably support a team in the Piedmont league. We do not know that the Piedmont league has any towns which desire to sell their franchise, but there’s nothing like inquiring during the forthcoming winter months. ARRESTS MAY LEAD TO SOLUTIONS FOR TWO BIG ROBBERIES Men Held at Request of the Kannapolis Officers May Prove To Be South Caro lina Robbers. Kannapolis. Sept. 9.—Two men are being held and another sought by Kan napolis police following the finding of a quality of silk, several pairs of pants and some dresses at a house in Kan napolis several days ago. It is be lieved the good* were taken from a store at Great Fails and a pressing club at Rock Hill. Cleve Canup and Lloyd Sherrill, both of Kannapolis, are being held charged with stealing the goods and Vernon Tarleton, also of Kannapolis, i* being sought. Canup and Sher rill, it is said, occupied the -house in which the sto’en goods were located. They fled from Kannapolis when it became known the goods had been lo cated. but were arrested in Knoxville when officers there became suspic.ious or them. Three suitcases filled with silk were found in their car, it is said. Tarleton was driving the car but “soaped from the Knoxville offi cers. Carup and Sherrill told the Knox ville officers they lived in Kannapolis and inquiry brought the information that they were wanted here. Tarle ton. it is said, came back to Kan napolis from Knoxville but he es caped again from the officers who saw him. He was driving a car with a Tennessee license and officers are try ing to determine whether it is a stblen car. Chief J. C. Steele, of the Great Fall* police department, was in Kannapo lis Thursday making an investigation. is convinced the silk was taken from the Great Falls store and be lieves the dresses and pant* were stol en from the Rock Hill prewJrg club. The silk stolen at Great Fal s was valued at between SI,OOO and $1,500, it was reported here. Canup and Sherrill are being he.d pending further inquiry into the case. Miss Mary Wallac€ left last Fri day for Richmond, Va., where she will enter the nurses school at the Medical College of Virginia. A. X. Lentz, Jr., has returned to hi* borne here after spending a week with his unoie. W. G. Lyer’.y, in Charlotte. I,ewis Misenheimer has left for Schenectady, N.

Marriage license was issued here Thursday by Register of Deeds Elliott to Robert G. Sollomon and Miss Annie Belle Stone, both of Concord. D. Ray McEacheyn, county welfare officer, carried two deaf children to the State school at Morganton Thursday. The children’s relatives reside in this county. Football practice will be held daily at the high school from now on. Due to the ball game Thursday the prac tice session was dispensed with but the coaches expect to put the candi dates through a hard drill each after noon from now on. The Cubs won in the National Lea gue Thursday, thereby gaining some ground on the idle leaders. In the American League the Yankees won again. In the South Atlantic the Greenville Spinners lost to Asheville and Charlotte defeated Augusta. E. Cf. Barnhardt Sr., attended the meeting of tho 58th district of Rotary which was held in Greenville, S. C., on Tuesday. The meeting was was addressed by several prominent Ro tarians, among whom was Dave C'ark of Charlotte, district governor of Rotary. One of the heaviest rains of the year fell in Concord Thursday after noon and there were showers through out the night. There was considerable lightning and thunder with the rain, and also much wind. The rain was the first real downpour in several weeks. Fine progress is being made with the computation of city taxes by City Clerk Harris and City Tax Collector Field. They have finished three wards and expect to have the others com pleted within a day or so. It is ex pected now that the re6#ipts will be ready by October first. The Greenville and Portsmouth teams, winners in the South Atlantic and Virginia League, will play post season games beginning next Friday. One of the games will be staged in Charlotte as the Portsmouth park was recently destroyed by fire and the games alloted to that team will be .played in other cities. STORM CAUSES TMG DAMAGE IN COUNTY DURING THURSDAY Elizabeth Temple Razed, a Barn Burned and Other Damage Results From the Thursday Storm. Thursday’s wifid, rain and electrical storm caused damage in various parts of Cabarrus county. The most serious damage resulted from the collapse of the Elizabeth Temple, being erected here by fol lowers of Mr*. Wil’.ie Laurel Olive, “Four Square Gospel” leader, the structure being a complete wreck as a result of its fall. A barn on the farm of A F. Lefler was etruck by lightning and destroyed, several outhouses in various sections of the county were damaged and a number of trees broken off or other wise damaged. The temple was a mass of broken and twisted timbers after the storm had passed. The building was 65 feet wide and 165 feet long and not more than half a dozen timbers were standing today. The rafters for the roof were being placed when work was halted bv the storm, all window sashes had been installed and car penters expected to start work on the roof this morning. The carpenters escaped injury after being warned by cracking sound* in the structure. They had taken refuge in an adjoining tool house when they hoard the buildine crack. They da*bed into a nearby filling station just as the structure pitched forward. An e’ectric power line was damaged by the failing timbers, which also par tially smashed two automobiles stand ing in the street. The automobile* belonged, to Robert Hutchinson and Jonah Furr, who were working on the structure. They were parked on Church street, in front of the temp’e. and part of the temple* front crashed down on them, damag ing their tops. The building was to have been of stucco and it had been planned to pour part of the stucco during this week. The tunp’e was more than fiftv feet high and was to have been divided into two floors, with an att’c topping off the balcony. It had been under construction for several weeks.

I. in the curent issue of The Institute News: “In Atitumn a young man's fancy Seriously turns to thought of Foot ball.” With apologies to the poet for the above lines, it is apparent that the football season is drawing nigh, the' tang of the game being now in the air. Faced with the heaviest, hardest, and most strenuous schedule in its football history, the pigskin chasers of the Institute are viewing the pros pects with equanimity, confident that they will be able to give good accounts of themselves on every gridiron where they meet the foe. Any team which tackles Oak Ridge, Blue Ridge, Bel mont College, Wingate, Catawba, Weaver, and Rutherford all in one season has a superman's job cut out for it, and that is just what the Institute is facing this year, with a couple of hard games at the beginning with strong High School teams thrown in for good measure. The Alumni and students are look ing with great confidence to Coach Rhoad, who will have charge and di rection of football activities, feeling that he will be able to turn out a winning team. In oder to do this, however, he must have the material, and what are his prospects along this line? In the first place he will have a strong nucleus from last year’s team, including Sloop, guard par excellent, Curry, Lipe, Royal, Tom Irwin, Stire walt, and H. C. Ervin on the line. All of these men are veterans from previous years and ought to be at their best for the coming season. In addition to these, there will be avail able for line work from last year’s squad, Parker, Mendenhall, and Kram er, together with many new men who have just matriculated. For the back field we will have Captain Hinson, Wilson the human battering ram, Griffin, who developed rapidly last year, Agee, forward passer, and Con rad. Czarnitzki, who showed up well in Spring practice, will be around to make a hard fight for quarter. The Institute is counting heavily on a number of Prep, and High School stars who have already made arrangements to be present, and who have made good at other institutions. More about these men will appear in a later issue of the News, but suffice it to say, that several of them have made bril liant records in past seasons. On the whole, prospects are encouraging for a winner, despite such a formidable schedule. Coach Rhoad will have the assist ance of Rev. John W. Link, noted star and quarter at Roanoke College several years ago. Mr. Link was the field general of Roanoke for four years and afterwards had successful coach ing experience with a Prep, school in Philadelphia. He is volunteering his services on account of enthusiasm for the game and a desire to see M. P. C. 1. a winner. Other members of the Faculty who have had experience in the game may also be called upon for advice and counsel. MT. PLEASANT NEWS. Mt. Pleasant, Sept. 9.—J. L.
