PAGE TWO Rambling i&L WITH THE ambler By “LITTLE BUFF’ | Post Wide Open for awhile.” Jim Morgan, ex Davidson star ath lete, who was supposed to have been the athlete director here, seems to have caused trouble elsewhere. One week ago Morgan was to coach gthletes at Edenton, Gastonia, and Kings Mountain, according to differ ent sports writers of the state. It seems that our “dependable” Mr. Morgan who signed to coach here, put the column “on the spot ’ when he changed his mind. Os course you can’t blame the guy for taking a bet ter position but he should have thought about that before he told Mr. Holmes he would coach at Eden ton. Some of our football fans think he would have made a good coach, but as I said before I don’t think we ought to take chances with our state champions. So, with Morgan out of the pic ture we are back where we started coachless -bad if the fans don’t want to “ante up” an added supplement, it looks like the team will have to get along the best they can. Sales or Luxury Tax After an Arizona justice of the peace married a strapping Negro and his mate the big huskie placed a silver dollar and two pennies in the justice’s hand. His fee was a dollar, so he asked the Negro why he gave the two pen nies. “Why Boss,” replied the black, the governor’s luxury tax!” A luxury? I wonder! ! ! ! You’re Out! The umpire yells as he twists his wrist in the “out” fashion. Then the crowd in the stands start hollowing —Hsome for and some against the ump. And there goes another man —to the hospital or insane asylum. For the life of me, I can’t figure a more miserable vocation than that of an unpire. If he calls the runner out, his team comes a running. If he calls him safe the team in the field thinks differently and they make their opinion known to the poor ump. If the umpire calls the pitch a strike the batter squawks. If it is called a ball the pitcher and catcher both are against him. So there you are — where ? I never will forget the time I was umpiring an Albemarle league game a couple years ago. I didn’t call the play to suit everybody so there they went after me “l called it like I saw it,” I said, when one of the fans asked me if I was blind. “You’re not supposed to call ’em like you see ’em, you’re supposed to call ’em as they are.” So right off the diamond I went and my umpire career was nipped in the bud. Umpire Reardon and Sears had some difficult trouble in Cincinnati about a month ago. The fans start ed a “pop bottle throwing” and these two umpires went over to the stands “to quiet things down.” Besides getting on the bad side of the fans, the umps were warned by President Frick that the home club should look after the “policing” of the fans and that the umpires had better not be caught practicing such methods again. About three years ago I witnessed what I would call a riot with all the trimmings. It happened in the NYP league where they take baseball ser ious, too. Well, these two umpires had been calling a lot of “close” ones against the home team all during the game and at the end of the contest tbs fans were in a nasty frame of mind. The umpires were met at the gate and, as there were only two, were getting a bad beating. The riot squad was called and tear gas had to be used to dispense the mob. After things began to quiet somewhat the police escorted the umps to their hotel and advised them to “stay in Dr. J. W. Selig OPTOMETRIST Will be in his office — on the third floor of USSEBthe Citizens Bank I fH32HI Building ’ Edenton — FRIDAY, AUG. 30 8 A. M. to 1 P. M. CAMAY SOAP * 3 for 15c WHAT A CONTEST! SI,OOO Each Year For Life! WE HAVE THE BLANKS E. C. WHITE EDENTON, N. C. Albert “Dolly” Stark was given an automobile from his admirers recent ly, after being chosen the most popu lar umpire of the National League. That happened last week. Next week Umpire Stark might need that same automobile to get out of town —if he miscues. One minute an umpire is a hero, the next minute he is a dumb, blind sap. Pitcher Marberry has turned um pire. Marberry used to pitch for Detroit and Washington, but he fig ured he could do better calling them than he could throwing them. So far the players have been sympath izing and going easy on their ideas of how Marberry has been calling them. But that friendship will soon wear off and then the ex-Detroit pitcher will be just an ordinary umpire. And then—look out! ! ! ! Those umps can all have their money. When their day’s work is over they have earned their salaries. I would muchlrather bean Africa fight, ing tigers than be backed up in front' of mobs. Here and There or This and That The Giants, Cards, and Cubs are making the National league race a fast number. . . Softball is gaining popularity in a big way in cities. Some teams, I know, hires its players just as in the regular baseball. . . Re ports say to watch Duke this coming season, but I’ll watch Carolina, if you don’t mind. . . Joe Louis, the Negro senation, may be good, but Max Baerr will show him a thing or two about the art of boxing in Septem ber. . . Bud Shaney’s return to Ports mouth has not helped the Truckers out of third place. . . Duke has one man to watch this year, Ace Parker. . . The All Stars clash tonight with the Chiago Bears, professional grid men. Probably will be a good show, but football will be lacking. The Bears can’t afford to be injured. . . Eddie Berluiski, star freshman of last year’s State team, used his ath letic abilities this summer keeping the boys up at N. C. State prison in good physical condition. . . The Singing Jubilee! And tonight, ladies and gentlemen, we will have a battle of baritones — or tenors. In this corner we have Buddy Baer, the wee brother of Max who is only 20 years old and -weighs a mere 236 pounds. And in this com er, fans, we have the Irish tenor, Jack Doyle, who is slated to go places in the heavyweight division. Doyle, who has not fought much since he arrived in America, but who spent most of his time singing, is entering a tough game now. He will find as he goes along that he will meet some fairly good heavy weights this season. And although he is the heavyweight champ of Ire land, quite a number of these boys will be able to flatten him out and i» *’ Mr. Farmer ... || S * 1 I Why Not Sow That Idle Land:: I In Some Kind of Grain. f 0 o i We Have a Complete Stock of < X ' < SEED OATS - RYE - WHEAT - CLOVER : VETCH - RAPE AND OTHER SEEDS i X < I o : f < i If You Are In the Market For a Peanut Picker : I Let Us Recommend the < I NEW LIVERMON PEANUT i if PICKER Hand Is ; e < < [)CK OF : -; WM. \ < J ices j s _____________ < &Fuel \ • • ' ' . 1 ifan, N.

This fight tonight will put a sing ing Baer and an Irish tenor, and the fans will perhaps get tired of their doings before the six rounds end. Hard Luck When a person comes within four miloH of her goal, as Miss Eva Mor rison, Boston hospital libranian, in her attempt to swim the English channel, and then has to give up— that is my opnion of the toughest of tough luck. Wind, rain and rough sea made Miss Morrison give in after battling the channel for over 12 hours. I never will forget the time we pull ed in Melvin Owens after he swam the bay from Mackeys to Edenton. He had a tough time with wind and current in that eight mile trip, while Paul Spencer had no easy time keep ing the canoe he followed Owens with under control. Not only an outstanding swimmer, Owens pitched ball for Hertford when they had a team in the Albe marle league. Now “Foots”' is night policeman in Hertford and will participate in the national rifle and pistol match at Camp Perry, Ohio, which will be held September 1 to 19, Smell of the Farmer’s Living All of the tobacco towns of the central and eastern part of the state are teeming with interest as tobacco season began this week. The tobac co sections are full of farmers and their weed, and according to reports of the tobacconists the crooks and gamblers and what nots are going to have a fat season off the /‘poor” farmers. \ MACEDONIA 'I i ' Mrs. W.
