DEMOCRATIC STATE
CONVENTION .APRIL 8.
Precinct Meetings to Be Held April
17 and County Conventions One
Week Later.
Raleigh. March 10.—Tile demo
cratic state executive committee to
night fixed April 9 as the date and
Raleigh as the place for the demo
cratic state convention, after voting
down a motion that it go to Dur
ham.
Only 31 of the 120 members of the
committee were present, but a ma
jority of the absent ones were repre
sented by proxy.
The committee cai'ed the precinct
meetings to be held April 17 and
the county conventions for April 24.
Durham sent over a big delegation
with an urgent appeal for the com
mittee to have the convention go
there. Sumter Braw’ey. Walter H.
Bugg. Dr. J. M. Manning. Prof. It.
L. Flowers and Lieutenant governor
J. Elmer Long urged the committee
to give other cities of the slate a
chance to get acquainted with the
annual gatherings of the democrats,
feeling that it was time to move
after holding all the meetings for the
past 16 years in Raleigh.
After the roll call had reached
through the first seven districts,
with the vote standing 4!i to 18 in
favor of Raleigh, the proxies voting
heavy for the capital, the Durham
folks withdrew their motion and
moved to make the choice of Raleigh
unanimous.
In addition to fixing the time and
place of the state convention and the
time for the precinct and county
conventions, the committee unani
mously adopted by a rising vote a
resolution extending to Senator F.
M. Simmons “hearty congratulations
for his magnificent victory in the
tax reduction fight." The resolution
was presented by Judge Walter E.
Brock, of Winston-Salem.
Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
New York. March 10.—Tlte out
standing feature of the market today
was the expiration of the March con
tract- Fifty-four notices in all were
issued and were stopped by n promi
nent spot hoouse. Evening up opera
tions in that option kept the market
in a state of a fair activity, but after
12 o’clock the market became dull
and heavier.
Worth street reports are pessi
mistic and predictions of lower
spot cotton and goods prices are
being made, .as the demand is not
nearly keeping up with production.
Sentiment remains rather bearish on
the floor, but outside interest in the
market is so small that no wide
swings are expected until, of course,
something new develops.

Hollywood. March 11—Men drest

In fact, should a screen direetoi

his friends. And to wear ordinarj
trousers and a hat is a positive indi
cation of senility.

Durham. March 10.— Suppression
of all personal liberty, including
freedom of the press and free speech,

executive secretary of Prinoetin-in-
Peking, and former investigator ii:
Italy for Princeton university, in an
address at Duke university here last
night.
The speaker stated that his years
of travel and study in Italy have
convinced him that practically no
good has come out of the Mussolino
dictatorship, and that his rule has
utterly crushed the spirit of persona
liberty and reduced the Italian press
to contemptible servility.

Comments on Kannapolis Baseball
Kannapolis Will Duplicate Last Year's Performance
of Winning Western Title; Gibson Will Win Out
in State Amateur Chase, Maybe.
(BY JAZZY MOORE)
Kannapolis, March 11. —Local
fires were kindlefl under baseball's
boiling pot Monday when a script in
The Tribune read that Mr. Sidney J.
Basinger had been re-elected manager
of the Gibson Mill's diamond dusters
for the ensuing scuffle.
And from every nook and cranny of
the neighboring town of Concord
saunter interesting dope that the
Coneordians will seise all laurels and
eenconiums ere the curtain descends in
September. The clan, it is said, is
fastlv plastering together a founda
tion for Carolina's leading sandlotters.
Sir SMuey himself will romp, skip
ami jump around his favorite post,
the keystone bag. Hashing the class
that made him outstanding in 1025.
Quite naturally Sir Sid would select
a position directly behind the umpire
because they he can snarl and snort
and try to talk the arbiter out of a
decision. On several occasions last
summer we became desperately seri
ous when the hotheaded Sidney enter
ed an nrgument on the local diamond.
Finally he came to be as unwelcome
in a squabble—from a Kannapolis
standiHiint —as Colouel Mitchell at the
White House.
Peanut Hatley has been kidnapped
.from the University of North Caro
lina to rustle around in the left pas
ture for fly chasing chores. If one of
Sir Sid's boxmen should allow an
enemy batsman to bombard the agate
from the infleld. Mr. Clemmer will
be plucked from the faculty of Maid
en h gh, where he is employed to teach
the youngsters there to play ball in
the championship manner Gibson
dot's, to wear the mit and the mask in
the lineup. He caused a world of
nightmares to North Carolina twirl
ers last campaign. Then there is
Harry Harrell, a jewel infielder, who
performed with the Cabarrus metro
politans during his 1025 exploration
of geography. And still another, John
ny Boggs, inner defense star, who will
bring fancy credentials to the Gibson
vassals from his previous haunts.
It tickled the fancy of the Gibson
bass when he announced this number
of the lineup. But he threw a fit of
glee when he stated that his hirelings
will have a spick-span park to play
in. No longer will be the baked sur
face of Gibson field divert hart hit
4)alls into infielders’ faces and turn
hard fought games into fielding farces.
Needless to say the park will be when
"ompletcd, far more modern than the
Cabarrus Park in Kannapolis.
Kannapolis Wears Western Coronets.
Just seven miles from this wonder
ful city and its extraordinary team of
baseballers is Kannapolis, and when
r hei e is talk of a title in this state
h« local outfit is worthy of profound
esjpect. It was Kannapolis, not Con
ori!, that annexed the toitie last year
f being the smartest club of ball
•layers in the western part of Nojth
'arolina. It was Kannapolis, and not
libson, that had over half of its per
«>nnel selected for the mythical nil
state nine. And it was Kannapolis,
not Basinger’s crew, that sent more
-•layers to profesional contingents than
my other aggregation of nmateurs
n the entire state of North Carolina,
South Carolina or Georgia.
If the locals behave :n the sensa
■iopal style they revealed last year
'hen the neighbors are apt to have
heir plans punctured, although at the
•resent writing the city needs a
‘mil club no more than a Charleston
lancer needs feet.
Unlike Concord, local directors have
"ailed to get together to talk plans for
he approaching season. Three meet
ngs have been scheduled and a trio
f meetings have been postponed. But
he President's illness accounts for
hat.
As mentioned before only a couple
■non have affixed their signatures to
the dotted line, these be'ng Peck Wood
tnd Homer Fiuk. You can bet your
'nst dollar Kannapolis will be among
those present when the leaders of
Tarheelia are named. Not because
Kannapolis is generally conceded the
best baseball town in the world but
for the. simple reason that Ed Lady,
Clinton Powell and John Carpenter
are responsible for the team's suc
cess.
The directorate must elect a mana
ger. for the Kannapolians and when
this gent is ehosen he must show some
speed to open the season tbe first

Scores Convincing Victory Over Riv
als.
The enemies can predict great things
for their team this year so far as the
local baseball flock is concerned.
We gladly refer interested parties
to what lias been done. After sev
eral standstills Kannapolis gave Gib
son a sound spanking on last August
13th. Although this is historical we
can't laugh off that one ball game.
It occurred in the rivals’ own back
yard too. to make the laugh more
horse-like.
Al. Simmons was doing mound work
for Sir 8 ; d on that particular date
and Herm Holshouser, well known to
Gibson followers, wss handling the
pitching end of the fracas for the lo
cals. The world's greatest slabbist j
failed to get going, or else had an off
day. or something similar to excuses. ,
Anyway the world’s next greatest j
pitcher was sent to the mound to re- j
lieve the wilted Simmons in the
fourth verse of the farce. • This pitch
er bad once been a brilliant perform
er in the Piedmont Society of pro
fessional loops. His name was given
before the game as Gates. We do not
remember what name lie assumed af
ter the occasion. Homer Fink came
up to bat. or rather to swat. Every
body knows the rest. The numerous
read, Kannapolis 13, Concord 1. Sir
Sidney became panic stricken. He
brought his schedule to an abrupt
halt.
All over the state Kannapolians
were greeted with the same hilarious
greet : ng the common people are ac
cording this tax reduction in Con
gress. Fayetteville, laying claims to
every title in the east, came scurry
ing along over hill and dal en route
to the dell to contest her wares with
the best the west had to offer. Thir
teen to 4 was the result of the first
day's game. Fourteen to five, read
the second day's count, and 13 to 5
was chalked on the score board for the
last game's numerals. All scores fa
vored Kannapolis.
Bud Moore and Felix TTayman. own
ers of the Charlotte Hornets and Sul- j
isbury Colonels, came rollicking down j
to the playground to view the heavy
artillerymen in action. The visiting
moguls discovered that league timber
was in the Kannapolis lineup. They
snared such gala performers as Hol
shouscr and Bonner.
Other dubs of higher calibre rush
ed their scouts and managers here to
watch the locals explode the ball. Dan
Hill and Larry Gardner craved a gent
or two for their AshevHle Tourists,
Jimmy Flowe was signed and several
other men would have been, only they
were collegians and desired to play a
college brand of ball,
Kannapolis reaped a fat pocket
book at the gate last summer to make
the season all the more successful.
In the meanwhile Concord fops
were crowding the grandstands here
to see the* superiors scintillate. TBe
last thing we heard of the Gibspiti
proteges was that no park was avail
able to Htage their games, the Gibson
field and stands having been wrecked
by a storm.
And the veTy first thing one hears
when entering the world's largest uh
ineoriHirated city is what Gibson ex
pects to do this sumer. Concord Is
the first to get lined up. we admit, but
in conclusion the statement that the
last shall be first and the first shall
be last may hold good at the end of
the 1026 drive. Here’s hoping!
