WALTER JOHNSON TO GIVE UP BASEBALL Asks For Release So He Can Devote Time Hereafter to Private Busi ness. Washington, Oct. 15. —Walter Fer ry Johnson, veteran pitcher of the Washington American league base ball club, has resigned from the team and President. Griffith has accepted the resignation. Johnson, who celebrated his 20th anniversary as a major league play er this year, will be given an un conditional release at his * own re quest, provided waivers are obtained from other clubs of the league. Unlike other stars of baseball who reached the heights of stardom only to pass their declining athletic years in the uniform of a minor leaguer, the “big train” has decided to quit and go into business at a time when he thinks he still has a few victories left in his arm. In a letter requesting his uncondi tional release, the Washington twirler expressed great regret at having to ’eave the team with which he has been associated during his entire score of years in mayor league nase ball, but realizing he cannot be rated as a star, he said “he simply did not want to be in the way next season.” Replying to his letter. President Griffith said he and the public could not imagine the Washington team ap pearing without Walter,' but felt it his duty to grant the pitcher’s re quest, especially in view of the busi ness he had under consideration. Johnson *said tonight he would like to continue in baseball as an in vestor and added he had several minor league propositions under con sideration in addition to “one or two opportunities in the business world.” The Handicap of Conceit. Thrift Magazine. ' Henry Ward Beecher once called conceit “the most incurable disease known to the human soul.” Conceit, however, is not to be con fused with pride, self-respect or seir confidence. There is merit in these qualities and many a man of limited abilities has stamped and poynded his way to the seats of the mighty. But the conceited man moves in quite a different realm. His is simply an unreasoning, unfounded opinion of his own importance. He is a giant in a world of pigmies. Many men fail because of timidity and modesty. They secretly tell them selves that they don’t amount to much, that they are mediocre and that nobody is interested in their words or deeds. They slink into the hidden receases of obscurity or com plete failure. There is a sane middle ground upon which those who get anywhere worth while in life must ever stand. Neither conceit nor timidity will car ry anyone very far. Honesty is the best nolicy even in appraising ones own talents. Patient—What! You charge three dollars for putting a tooth? Why I have to work an hour to earn that much. Dentist —Well, if you want me to I can spend an hour on it. Wise —I don’t care to discuss the matter any further. Husband —What’s the trouble — sick? j THE CONCORD TIMES MISS REBECCA RED WINE MARRIES ROGER B. DUVAL Numerous Gueets Attended Reception Following Church Ceremony. ChariOtte Observer.

Chapel Hill, Oct- 15.—The univer sity authorities and the town gov | ernment are trying to find some wa; to end what has become a capita nuisance: the wholesale begging o automobile rides by students. Formerly a student would stam on or near the curb and give a sign in a rather modest fashion, that h ! was willing to be picked up am 1 taken to Durham. But now the motor its coming down to the main stre often finds four or five youths far ou in the roadway, almost directly in hi course, and frequently their manne: of signalling gives the impressioi that they are not asking a ride bu demanding it. It ~is not, however manners about which the authority are most concerned at present, but thi obstruction of traffic. War Mothers Meet Tomorrow.
