Steadily this magnifieient trotter gained on its rivals in the second heat, emerging by Sadie, J. S„ Bessie Montgomery and finally Straight Street in a desperate finish.

TRIBUNE CARRIERS GUESTS FRIDAY OF RUBIN AND CHERRY Newsies Had Great Time on Midway Friday Night.— Rode All Rides and At tended Shows. The Tribune newoboys were guests x of Rubin and Cherry Shows at the Cabarrus District Fair Friday night. Ticket-takers stepped aside as the 22 youngsters, buggling with the joy of life, visited all of the great midway attractions from show to show, to ride after ride. Fun, you bet, more fun than living in a pie factory! It was Newsies’ night at Rubin and Cherry’s tented city of magic and splendor. Always there is a night set aside for the newsboys no matter what town in which the shows might be playing. Friday night was no ex ception to the way in which the car riers are entertained. The lads rode everything from the merry-go-round to the magic carpet, and laughed or sat spellbound while at the various comical or mystery shows. In the way of rides the newies rode the ferris wheel, merry-go-round, heydey, whip, caterpillar, magic car pet, dodgem jr., Dangler, and what have you. It is needless to mention how the boys enjoyed thes>3 thrillers, any way they would not have swap ped places with Henry Ford or Col. Charles Lindbergh. That's saying a whole lot. The newsies visited Royal Midget Show. They found these little people interesting. Trips were made also to the autodome, the Frontier Rodeo and Wild West Roundup. It was some treat to the lads to sec those “big westerners” in action. The Circus Side Show and trained Wild Animal Arena was something in the way of breath-taking. The growling lions re minded each newsie of that man who is never pleased with the way he de livers the paper. Dante’s Inferno con vinced the newsies that it’s an ex cellent plan to attend Sunday School regularly. The boys had a good time. That’s what the Rubin and Cherry Shows desired for the youngsters to have. Reid Motor Co., who says “it won’t belong now until the new Ford will be on the market,” furnished a truck to carry the carriers to the fair grounds. Za~k L. Roberts, Tribune circulation carried the group of boys to the midway attractions. Clothier—This suit will wear like iron. Customer—l’ll take it then—l’m making a trip to Chicago next week. SIMEON W. WINECOFF DIED FRIDAY AT HIS HOME IN THE COUNTY Was One of Oldest and Best Known Men in County.— Funeral Services Sunday Afternoon. Many in Cabarrus county will be grieved to learn of the death of one of the oldest and most esteemed citi zens of the county, Simeon Wilson Winecoff, whose death occurred Fri day afternoon, October 14th, at 4 :15 o’clock, at his home in No. 4 town ship two miles south of Kannapolis. For about ten months Mr, Winecoff had been a sufferer from kidney com plications, at times being confined to his bed, his condition becoming acute and alarming five days before his death. Simeon Wilson Winecoff was born April 1, 1.850, the son of the late John and Ann Sloop Winecoff, on the farm where he .passed his entire life, 77 years. On October 8, 1871, he mar ried Miss Sarah Day vault and with her spent 56 years of wedded life. On the same farm where he grew to man hood this couple reared a family of splendid children of whom the follow ing survive : J. A. Winecoff, D. K. Winecoff, L. O. Winecoff, B. R. Wine coff and Mrs. Mertie Winecoff, of Kannapolis, and Geo. C. Winecoff, of Gastonia. Great sympathy is felt for the family and especially for the aged wife in her declining health and years. Pious parents early dedicated Sim eon Wilson Winecoff to God in holy baptism. He was confirmed a mem ber of Lutheran Chapel congregation, China Grove, and removed from that church to Center Grove when the new congregation was organized and the church building erected in 1879. He was elected a deacon when the first council of Center Grove was elected, and served as an officer during the remainder of his life, being treasurer of the church and the Sunday School at the time of his death. He served as superintendent of the Sunday School for more than twenty years. During his entire life he was absent Vrom church only in case of sickness. Faithfulness and the spirit of doing what he could seemed to permeate the life of this man. Unassuming by na ture, he never sought honor among his fellowmen, yet his worth was recog nized and he was highly regarded as a leader in his church and community. His passing has left a void; his life is an inspiration for others to become as he was and carry on the work to which he remained faithful unto death. Funeral services were held at Center Grove Church Sunday after noon, October 16th, at half past 1 o’clock, conducted by his pastor, Rev. E. F. K. Roof, assisted by Rev. C. A. Brown, a former pastor. Burial was in the cemetery adjoining the church, church. X. ANNOUNCE WINNERS IN DRESS CONTEST AT CABARRUS FAIR Several Nice Prizes Award ed Winners in Cotton Dress Contest.—Much In terest in Event.

CONCORD SPIDERS DASH TO 12 TO 0 WIN HERE FRIDAY Concord High School Eleven Scores First Victory of the Season By Defeating Albe marle. By RADIO KINO The Bulldog eleven of Albemarle high school was chained securely to the post of disappointment and given the bone of defeat for consolation as the Concord high school Spiders broke the pressing fetters of hardluck and swept to a 12 to 0 victory at Webb field Friday afternoon. A new spirit, fiery and unrequieting, seemed to envelope the Spiders. Glo riously they spun a victorious web as they outfought the Albemarle Bull dogs in every phase of the game. The Spiders, piloted by the clever Kestler, mustered an unrelenting fight, stand ing the Bulldogs on their ears in a dizzy whirl as they went around and' through the line for consistent gains and ultimately two touchdowns. Capt. “Quack” Sanders, whose scin tillating spurts were big thrillers of the game, carried the ball over for both Concord touchdowns after his mates had valiantly advanced the oval to advantageous positions. He crossed the Albemarle goal in the first and third periods. Kestler failed to add the extra point after either touch down. Incidentally Sanders possesses the honor of registering the only touchdowns Concord has made this season. The first touchdown resulted from a steady drive that had its beginning in midfied. The Bulldogs were caught napping, perhaps dreaming of the juicy bone of victory, when Captain Sanders heaved a pass to Howard for fifteen yards, carrying the ball to Al bemarie’s 35-yard line before being tackled. Then alternately the Con cord backs ploughed swiftly to the goal. Howard and Sanders bore the blunt of these sweeping drives. When the ball advanced tp the three yard line, Sanders skirted the end for the score. A fumble on the nine-yard line pre vented Concord from pushing another touchdown across early in the third period, but a break, however, in punt ing allowed the Spiders to regain the pigskin on the enemy’s 45-yard line From this point the Leggett-Green ma chine romped wildly over the visitors for another and final touchdown. Sanders, Kestler, Pike and Howard, each figured prominently in this goal ward march. Concord’s heavy offensive punch was its sweeping end runs. Time after time the Spidens marched around the flanks for substantial gains, Howard and Kestler starring in the ball-carry ing when this play was given success ful trials. In the line plunging Pike and Sanders knew their stuff. The Spiders registered ten first downs. A Human Wall. Like a wall of steel the Spider for wards held the snarling Bulldogs. The Albemarle backfield discovered early in the fracas this fact. The lone two Albemarle first downs came through one successful line attack, and the other by the Lindbergh route. The visitors registered a first down in the first period and a second in the dying moments of the fourth quar ter. The Bulldogs were desperate when the second first down was re corded, resorting futilely to the aerial attack in hopes of scoring. Utley, the big red-headed Concord tackle, was a deathray to plays in his quarters. Parks, Furr, Armfield and Pickard were mixed in most of the rough and tumble. On the offensive Irvin and White were towers of strength, ripping holes big enough for elephants to pass through. As a whole the Concord line performed beautifully and effectively against Al bemarle. The Concord backs were great on the defense. The kicking department was the on ly joy of the Bulldog eleven. Lentz proved that he could boot a ball. On one of his kicks he sent the oval into the air and across the white lines for 52 yards. Throughout the game the visitors had the advantage in punt ing. Kennedy and Captain Louder as well as Fitzgerald were bulwarks in the defeqse of Coach M. J. Hall’s Bulldogs. They were in the thick and thin of practically every play. Austin and Osborne did some impres sive line work also for Albemarle. The line-ups and score follow: Albemarle (0) Vc. Concord (12) McDrye .. le Armfield Osborne It Furr Burleson lg White Almond c.

L CADETS DOWN BELMONT HIGH, 19-0, IN FAIR GROUNDS GAME Winners Display Great Im provement Over Past Form and Bewilder Opponents With Speed. In a struggle that reduced itself largely to a battle between two pow erful lines, hut in which the superior ity of the victors was clearly defined, both in the backfield and up forward, the reconstructed eleven of the M. P. C. I. Cadets defeated the Belmont High School eleven, 19 to 0, at the Fair Grounds yesterday. It was the first setback suffered by the Belmont ians since 1924. The 1,000 or more spectators saw Wilson, star fullback of the Institut ers, rip off gains almost at will, eith er around the ends of on off-tackle slants. Many times he went for 20 to 30 yards before being dragged to the ground by persistent tacklers. While Wilson was the outstanding performer, both of the Widenhouse boys, C. and “Wormy,” are deserving of mention for the way in which they handled the pigskin. End runs by the former accounted for more than one first down and the line plunging tac tics of his borther provided the nec essary scoring punch on several oc casions. Conrad, at end for the boys from the “Mount,” was on top of ev ery play, while IJager, quarterback, directed his team in faultless style. The Cadets rolled up a total of 12 first downs against one for the Gas ton County lads. In the second per iod a team composed entirely of scrubs held Belmont scoreless. G. Stowe, halfback and captain, and one of the three men left from last year’s undefeated eleven, was the main cog in the offense and defense for the visitors. His deadly tackling stopped more than one Mt. Pleasant play be hind the line of scrimmage. The line-up: Belmont Pos. M. P. C. I. W. Stowe LE Griffin Howell LT Hinson (C) Beatty LG. Sloop J.

During the past summer Chink plastered the baseball for a season’s average of more than.4oo and collected a total of thirteen homerune. Fine Day at M. P. Church. Last Sunday was a fine day with First Methodist Protestant Church. The Sunday School had an attendance of three hundred notwithstanding the rain. The offering for Christian Education was $131.78.. The preach ing service at 11:00 o’clock was well attended, the house being filled. At night a capacity house listed with delight to the rendering of a program by the children of the Sunday School. The program was fine. Mrs. P. H. Scarboro, Mrs. Carl Honeycutt and Mrs. Hendry deserve and are receiving much praise for the fine program. The Wednesday evening “Church Night” program is gaining much im petus again. About seventy five were present for this service. A fine pro gram is being planned for this service to be held next week. A hundred or more will certainly be present. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Burns, and Dr. J. E. Burns returned Thursday from Goldston. Some improvement is reported in the condition of Dr. and Mr. Burns’ father, who is critically ill at his home in Goldston. Friends of Mrs. Sara Misenheimer, of Mt. Pleasant, will regret to learn that she had a restless night, and is not so well today. M ° nda y- October,, ~—- „ 1 "Si&ssi Pa p lineW o*hV r tf ' O’Neil ?
