Other high-quality contenders include Ted Keesler of Charlotte; Say Schillings of Southern Pines, former Moore County champion just back from Panama after three years Army service; C. W. Shackelford of Danville, Virginia’s No. 1 junior player; John McMil lan of Southern Pines, co-cap- itain of the Hill School’s tennis team this year, and a good many ■others.

Missing were a man’s wrist- watch with gold expansion band, a man’s signet ring with red stone and a lady’s gold pin in horseshoe and cornucopia design, also $10 in change, for a total estimated value of $250. Deputies Lawrence and Grimm are working with Pinehurst police on the case. Station Robbed Deputies Grimm and Edwards reported also that, patrolling US 1 in the Cameron area Sunday night, they picked up a 15-year- old Negro, Cleveland Sutton, who turned out to be a fugitive from Morrison Training school. Finding his pockets filled with small coins and chewing gum, they drew from the lad the admission that he had just robbed Henry Routh’s service station on US 1. Routh was awakened and found that, sure enough, his place had been robbed.

Cigarettes, cigars and some money were reported stolen, writh the chief damage that done to a window which was removed from Its frame, complete with sash.
