Con cord defeated Albemarle in the football game at Albemarle yesterday afternoon by a score of 34 to (5. From the first few plays there wa* no doubt as to the better team, the lack of defensive work, and ab sence of interference on offensive, was the cattVe of Albemarle’s defeat. Davis itnd Mabrey played an excellent game for Albemarle, Davis picking up a fumble and running 2T> yards, scoring the only touchdown for his teammates. Sullivan, for Concord, was the out standing star of the game, scoring two touchdowns. He also showed excellent form ill drop-kicking when he booted the hall between the bars four times out of five trials. Cleaver. Wideuliouse, Litaker. and Cline also played sensational ball,, each carrying the ball across the line for a touchdown. "Cline sub. halfback for Concord, made a beautiful catch when he nabbed a 20 yard pass from Sullivan and calmly stepped over the goal-line for a touchdown. Albemarle's touchdown came in the first few minutes of play when Davis, right end, flicked up a fumble and ran 25 yards fT»r a touch down. Concord scored in every period except the last. Sullivan, (’leaver. Wideuliouse. Cline aud Litaker played a good game for Con cord, while Davis aud Mabrey shone for Albemarle.

McAdoo to the I national capital, where lie sojourned for several days, was the outstand ing political event in Democratic circles during the past week. The presence of the former Secretary of tfce Treasury in Washington at this time, while without any avowed political purpose, has stir red both the McAdoo and anti-McAdoo forces to activity. ' The 1924 campaign is casting its shadow a long way ahead and the Mc- Adoo lieutenants are busy trying to sinooth the rough places and get the former Treasury head’s friends solidi fied and ready for si sharp drive for delegates to be launched right away. The McAdoo quarters in the Hamilton Hotel resented a beehive when his presence in the 1 city became noised aiiout. and old friends and new ones dropped in to shake hands and wish him well. f McAdoo spent Thursday night at the S street home of former President 'Woodrow Wilson. This circumstance is not regarded as having political signi ficance, ax the former member of the Wilson Cabinet occasionally spends a night at the home of his father-in-law when he is in Washington. McAdoo has told some of his intimates that the ex- President litis never discussed the Mc- Adoo candidacy during his visits here, and that the subject has been taboo during their personal contacts. He has not attempted to explain this situation, nor to clarify it in any way. leaving the impression that Wilson is neither for nor against him and will not become involved in the pre-convention contest. Dope of the Forecasters. McAdoo’s visß here and the activity of his friends has put new life into tlm political forecasters. wlfl> are trying to assess his chances. Daniel C. Roper, former Commissioner of Internal Revenue, is the leader in Washington of the McAdoo forces and a political strategist of the first water. Judge Rockwell, of Ohio, has been ap pointed national manager,, cullaboratiug with Roper. The McAdoo and anti-McAdoo people are as far apart as the poles on their es timates of the McAdoo strength. The information given out by the McAdoo partisans as to his strength by States, after a canvass based on reports brought in. is-extremely optimistic. In fact, if the McAdoo managers are not blinded by their own enthusiasm to the chances of opposing candidates, the ex-Seeretarv of the Treasury has little further to go to “sew up” the Democratic nomination. These claims and counter-claims arc il luminating only as one considers the sources from which they emanate. The McAdoo people claim that they are assured of the following States in the convention, and most of them are practi cally conceded, to him by the opposition. Arizona, 6 votes; Arkansas 11; Cali fornia 26.: Colorado 12: Florida 12; Georgia 2N; Idaho IN; lowa 2(5: Kansas 20: Michigan 30: Minnesota 24: Mississ ippi 50; Missouri 56: Montana 8; Ne- Services at Tucker’s Chapel.

The hood is constructed with concealed hing es. Catches of improved design and a metal bead which enhances the attractiveness of the whole car materially. The fenders, side aprons and radiator splash guard are all made of heavier gauge metal and improved method has been utilized in attaching them to the chassis.. |:| On all the new Star Car models, the spark and throttle levers are mounted on the steering column instead of being fill attached to the instrument bdard. PI As in the previous models, the standard* instrument and equipment includes a speedometer, dash light, oil guage, ammeter, ignition switch and improved choke rod, which is also mounted on the instrument board in place of the wire choke which was connected through the instrument board bracket. This makes it much easier to operate and improves the appearance. There has also been added to the line two sport models r a Five Passenger Touring and a Se dan.

Not Cincli. by Any Means. It is not accurate to say that McAdoo is conceded all the delegates represented by these States' and Territories, but it is certain that he will get a good major ity of those indicated in this tabulation. Even if he has all of the votes thus rep resented it is contended by the opposition that lie still has rough sledding ahead. These States would not give him a .ma jority, much less a two-thirds majority, as required in a Democratic convention. The States where opposition to Mc- Adoo’s nomination will be stiffost are as follows : Maine. 12 (now claimed by McAdoo managers); Vermont, 8; New Hampshire 8 (claimed for McAdoo) ; Massachusetts .'»(>; Connecticut 14; Ithode Island 10; Newt* York 00; New Jersey 2S; Pennsyl vania 70 (McAdoo managers claim a majority).: Ohio 48; Delaware 0; Mary land 10; Illinois 58; Louisiana 20. Total 440. With Underwood a candidate. Ala bama's 24 votes are lost to McAdpo : the 50 of Indiana are claimed both by Mc- Adoo and bis opposition. Other disputed territory is lowa, Kentucky, and Wiscon sin. Big Leaders Are Hostile. Conferences held at verioiis times since last year's election by Messrs. Murphy, Taggart and Brennan, the Democratic leaders of New York City. Indiana and Illinois, respectively, have been regarded as largely aimed at McAdoo's candida cy and as attempting to bring about a combination of strength that would ef fectively eliminate him regardless of who lands the Democratic nomination. The anti-McAdoo group believes that the two fliirds rule will keep McAdoo from ever landing t lie prize. while McAdoo’s friends arc just as sanguine that if lie gets a majority it will not be possible to deny him the necessary two-thirds. Indiana is debatable territory, with strong Democratic leanings, for the first time in several years. The 'nomination of Governor Ralston would make the State certain for the Democrats, it is fig ured. This consideration* moves “Tom" Taggart to think he lias the winner in the person of Ralston, and Taggart ex pects to lead his compromise candidate out as soon as things reach the proper degree of confusion and it is apparent none of> the active candidates can be centered on by the delegates. Henry Ford is more or less of a “bogey man'' to the McAdoo peoeple. They would would like to see him take himself out of the Democratic equation. If Ford be comes a candidate there are certain Mid dle Western and Southern Staftes where he would cut in on the McAdoo delegate strength. As an independent candidate he might be dangerous in the regular elec tion ; hut that's another story. At the Piedmont the big feature, “The Broken Violin,” with an all-star cast, is the headliner again today The Pastime today is offering “No Ten derfoot.” and “More to Be Pitied Than Scorned,” two features. Alice Brady, popular screen star, plays the leading role in “The Leopardess” at the Star again today. _ s JT A $35 O’coat with a 1924 is worth two * SSO coats that went thru’ last Summer. <1 V ■ '•> On the day an automobile manufacturer X announces his 1924 models—how much would you pay for a 1923 Sedan?
