Th league was unfortunate -In hav. ing?a "run-away" team In th 'Jack sonville aggregation, and this Is pri. mariiy the cause for the- financial loss which the other clubs hav experienced.- , It Is generally believed,-bqw-ever, that th league's existence will not be lost becauso of the suffering. ' : . . . ' ' "l was watching a game the other day at Philadelphia," says a Charlotte fan. "and th score was tied in the ninth inning. Philadelphia had a man on second and Connie Mack ran In a substitute batter. The fans In th grandstand commenced hollering, 'Jackson,' and I sat straight an.. I saw a long, meek-looking fellow step to th bat with th' notorious swing or m ureenvlll outfielder and he tapped the sphere for a -three-baae hit, wlpnlng the game. " I shouted at tn top of my voic along .with th wmor crazy tools, and afterward found ost tnat it wasn't Jackson at all," . The Richmond Journal says:' A report has. been circulated with persistency in Richmond that the teams In the leacun are "lavinar down' to Danville In an effort to help them defeat Richmond for th . champion ship. While It cannot be stated with certainty that such Is a fact one of the Portsmouth players stated her during the recent series that players irum two otner clubs in th league had asked them to throw what they Vcould to Danville. Whether recent developments bear this statement out or not is left for in patrons of the games to decide, In the contests between Danville and Richmond to date .thins are about evenly divldbd, both teams having won t.nrteen games from- th other. I Patrons of the gam in Richmond! nant roiu'sts clean baseball, and if Richmond vWis the pennant ther is ncne but will say that they won it strictly ou their merit as superior ball yiayers. We fall to see where anv honor wouia be attacned to Danville win nmg it with the other teams In the league throwing the games their way in an effort to beat Richmond out for the pennant. "Richmond is playing every club In the league, while Dan ville is only playing Richmond," was remars oi a local ran recently, and If the statements xf the Ports mouth players are to be believed, it certainly seems so. Jos Jackson, the star centra field er of the local team who was sold to the Phllaytfelphla team of tha Ameri can League, left yesterday to Join Con nie Mack's bunch. Hs was accom panied by Manager Stouch. who will spend a week or ten days in th Penn sylvania city to see Jackson and Barr work out - 'Barre la already In Phlladalnhla- havtng gone there a few days after ma close of tne Carolina league sea son. He has notVet figured In the llne-up, however. Connie Mack prob ably has him on the bench slslng up the pitchers and will bo more than apt to work him In a few days. - There was some talk at oh time to the effect that Jackson would refuse to report but there was nothlnr to it. Jo did not much want to ra North at this time snd butt Into strangers by nrmseir, Dut when he found out that Manager Stouch would go with him he was perfectly willlnz to so. Stouch will stay with Barre snd Jackson-until they get broken Into big league life. He has had long experience Tn baseball and will be of much benefit to-the two young players. - ...$ Local fans hop that the twd !sx- Lottl Blair Parker, th author of "Under Southern Skies" and "Way Down East" might be called a "re vivalist" playwright inasmuch as th success of both these dramas has been followed bv a large crop of plays from Ihs pens of other writers dealing with rural New England ana soutnern life. Th field of rustle New England drama was popularly supposed to have been exhausted, as far as financial re turns were concerned, by "Shor Acres" and "The Old Homestead," and interest in plays of Southern life was considered worn threadbare by "Alabama," "Held by th Enemy," "Shenandoah" and "Secret Service." To tho surprise of everyone "Way Down East" leaped at one Into a popularity that has not been ex ceeded by either "The -Old Home stead" or "Shore Acre," No sooner was the success of "Way Down East" W r - -jj-ajrvr,;-?' lf.

" Barre may make good and then again no may he farmed to some or ganization In a Class B circuit - The Davidson athlete Is not the hitter that Jackson la, but he plays a great field ing game and In the course of time Is sure to stick In the majors if a does not this season.. i Both players have the bst wishes of a mighty .host off local fans. ureenvitie News.- - . , r T Local baseball fans will be pleas ed to learn that Bob Carter and "Bill" Lindsay are-playing great ball with the Memphis club, of ths Southern league. t In writing to a friend hers Bob says! ' "I received th biggest ovation of my life when I .went to bat th first time." In speaking of Lind say's wot-k Carter says he is playing great gams In th field. Willis is aiso with Ihs Memphis team and Car ter says he looks mighty good. Tit following clippings from the Memphis papers show whst the former Twins did. in the first. games after they ar rived In their new home: .' . ;" The News-8clmitar says: "Did you see the new olavera ner- form In Sunday's game at Red Elm? "If vou didn't voil Tnliwil - treat They : wers pretty nearly the whole show In. th fray with little Rock. - "Keiber la some Pitcher. Of course. Big Ed was wild and gave seven Dasea. on balls, but he hadn't touched a ball Is more than three days, and that might hav caused this. Even If he is wild, Frank! Owens csn take him In charge and make him as Steady as old Gibraltar. "Next to Keiber, the Real Noise wss Bill Lindsay at short. Lindsay was some gtns as a fielder, and he got ms nit lust when it . counted most. Bill stands-at the plate nice, awing Just to meet the ball and gets down to first in a hurry. He is a left handed batter, and Nick Carter, who brought him to Babb, says he is the real thing. He travels around th paths as though be knew his busi ness and he showed he Is not sfrald to hit the dirt when he slid, twisted and rolled in horn under Page's per- xect peg to th plat to kill his run on Babb's grounder. That meant one run, and eventually brought an other for Memphis. "But Lindsay tn the field was th resl star. He chased all over the In field, never loit'.hli head a moment, and twice caught runners at first af ter they had hammered So hard that 11 Kolber could da was slow up th pilL Hi strong wing enabled htm to do this, and thus saved Kelbcr two hits. Each tlm Joey Collins, and he's a swift runner, waa the victim. "We pat good old Nick Carter last only because his work Is so well known to Memphis fans. Nick has played here a full season and part of another, and no one was surprised when he patiently waited every time up and each time forced Eyler In the 8-3 hole. Twice his patience was thus rewarded with free passes th only 'ones given out by pop. Once he waa robbed of a hit by Becker and the other time he grounded to Hess. Also no one was greatly surprised when Nick pulled off. his hippodrome catch in the fourth. Trias Speaker was the batter and Trlss sent a low liner screeching to left. Nick came in like a pulling steam engine, but as he neared the ball his feet slid from under him. Never letting his optics wander from the pilL he flung out his hands as he went down and grab bed the globule when it was only two Inches from terra flrma. Nick rolled over sideways once, but cam up with th pin held high in th air. and Speaker was out. It's ond of th few times whan an outfielder caught ball whil lying on th green. "Nick is ths same old Nick going 'round ths cushions, and as eoacher ha did his same old stunt of rousing the bleachers to ths highest pinnacle of enthuslaatlo frensy. 'BUI Lindsay jumped Into the good grSces of ths fans In ths very first inning. Collins opened with a ground er at Keiber, which was as red hot as the thermometer. Big Ed stuck out his. paw. and did his derndest. but the pill just caromed. Lindsay, who was chasing toward second to Head off the flying globule, , changed his assured than. a score of playwrights rushed to the front with plays of New England rural life. Many of them were received with . favor on not able Instance was a revival of a New England play which had. been pro duced with a fins cast and had met with failure before th production of "Way Down East." Afterwards this tame play wss revived and with suc cess. It would seem almost as if "Way Down East" re-created public Ihterest in New England rural drama. Th same thing seems to be repeating Itself In regard to "Under Southern Skies." For some years tha South had been, almost abandoned as a field for drama, when Mrs. Parker launched "Under Southern Skies,'.' a plsy of Southern life so original In treatment and so intensely Interesting that It was at one accepted by, the press TVILUAM FIKTH, PRES.': ( AMERICAN MOISTENING ,i . - - . . 1 r - J.

The McDowell county Democratic convention was held her to-day for the nomination of county officers. It was ths most hsrmonlous convention held In this county for a decade. The result of the work of the convention will un doubtedly prove beneficial to the Dem ocratic party and assures the com plete return to th Democratic column of the county which has for several years been partly Republican.

Gibson; for treasurer, T. T. Lytle; for coroner, Dr. D. M. Mcintosh; for surveyor, I. A. Hahey; for commissioners, H. A, Tate, W. E. Brown and W. A. Mc Laughrldge. 'A. H.
