CHINK OUTEN HAS
BATTING AVERAGE
.382 FOR SEASON
Hard-Hitting Rightfielder for
Concord Has Driven Out
Seven Homeruns, Six Trip
les, Four Doubles.
By RADIQ KING
Driving the pellet with pleasing
consistency the Concord Weavers
have a team average of .332 for the
season, tabulations compiled Friday
afternoon revealed. The Weavers in
34 games have been at bat 1,189 of
ficial times, driving out 363 hite.
Chink Outen, the celebrity of ath'.e
fics at State 'College, is swinging the
willow for an average .of .382 to lead
the flock of .300 hitters in the Weaver
fold.
The hard-hitting Concord right
fielder has connected with the ball
42 time safely in 110 tripe to the
plate. He has driven out seven home
runs. six triples and four doubles since
he has donned a Concord uniform.
Outen’e long distance swatting. Ge
hrig-like, has made him the idol of
local fans. When Outen comes to
bat he is always extended an ovation,
and it’s seldom that he fails to de
liver a hit when one is needed.
- Chick Miller. China Grove’s product
to baseball, is driving the ball hard.
The Weaver first-sacker is hitting the
ball for, an average of .377, having
collected 20 hits in 53 official times
at the bat. Chic has performed in
17 games. Clever Lefty Morris follows
Miller clqsely. He is hitting .373 for
28 games. Morris has 38 hits, half
of which are infield blows, to his
credit 1 in 102 trips to the plate.
Calvin Barbour, Concord’s new
third baseman, is up among the team
leaders with an average of .367.
Other Weaver swatters .300 ajid above
follow: Herman Watts, .357: Christ
enbury, .375; Hatley, .333; Mutt Mil
ler, ‘.300. The following Weavers,
.who do not. play regularly, are swat
ting the apple hard: Rawson, .526;
James, 1.00; Daughtery, .364.
The individual batting record of
each Weaver follows:

The Weavers are making impres
sive showings with the bat in the
series with the Towelers, holding a
scant lead in the number of base hits.
In other phase* of the national pas
time the Concord team is shadowing
the Kannapolis outfit. In the number
of runs scored, and fielding the Weav
ers hold the lead. A single game may
change the complexion of these stand
ings. A victory for Kannapolis could
bring about a tie or give the Towelers
a s’ight lead, while on the other hand
a Concord victory would increase the
lead in hitting, fielding and scoring.
This and That.
The Hickory scribe who heralded
to the wo*ld the <jther day that his
team had not been defeated as much
as two times by any other .team in
this section, must have forgotten to
look up Hickory's complete! season
record. "When the current ] season
was young Concord administered two
lickings to Hickory, one time' by the
overwhelming score of 19 to 1, and
the second time by the sebre of 11 to
5. The Hickory writer may consider
that some championship talk.
Next Toweler Game.
Concord and Kannapolis meet only
one time in battle next week, the game
being scheduled for Saturday, August
27th, in the Toweltown park. The
game there will begin at 3 :30 -p. m.

FIREFEN LEFT SUNDAY
FOR ANNUAL MEET
About 35 From Cortcord Will Attend
State Tournament at' Greensboro
Beginning Today.
The biggest tournament in the his
tory of the association is predicted for
State fiiremen who gather in Greens
boro today by John I* Miller, of
Concord, secretary of the State asso
ciation.
Mr. Miller left for Greensboro

secretaryship in 1908. About 25 fire
men from Concord, representing both
- the Concord and Cannonville depart
ments, will attend the tournament.
The Cannonville department

ing recently purchased new equipment
to be used in the races.
There are now 123 fire departments
affiliated with the State association,

ing an increase of eight during the
year. The association now has a mem
bership of approximately 3500 fire
fighters.

ing kept the president in office but one
year only, and having elevated the
vice president to the presidency.
WOBBLY WHEELS WORK
HAVOC WITH TIRES
Motor Shoes Need Care To Give
Lengthy Service.
Every possible precaution should be
taken to avoid unnecessary tire wear.
Anything which causes a tire to drag
with more or less side motion, instead
of running true, will grind the rubber
tread away faster than is normal.
Check over the car as early as possible
and see whether tire service is being
lost because of any of the various
forms of wheel irregularities. These
include misalignment, improper cam
ber, wobbles, etc., and may result from
a bent axle, a bent steering knuckle,
a loose wheel bearing, a broken spring,
a bent spindle or a rrm unevenly plac
ed on a wheel. A brake which drags
will cause rapid tread wear also.
. Sharp stones and pieces of glass, tin
or the sharp edges of a switch point
will cut into the toughest kind of a
tire tread. The flexing action of the
tire enlarges such cuts. Road dirt
and moisture enter and eventually
cause separation of the rubber tread
from the fabric carcass of the tire.
Look tires over at least every week.
Clean such cuts and fill them with
plastic patching rubber. Scraping a
tire against curbs when turning a
corner or when parking or throhgh
careless driving over frozen rutty roads
sometimes will wear the rubber off
the sidewalls and the fabric
carcass. Water and dirt then enter
and rapid destruction of the tire re
sults. Such sidewall injuries ought
to be repaired promptly by an experi
enced vulcanizer. The destruction of
a tube often is started when it is
being applied through its being pinched
under the tire tool or under the bead
of the tire. A little care is all that is
needed to avoid pinching. In straight
side tires the flap should be carefully
and smoothly applied. A wrinkle will
cut the tube, causing a slow leak. The
lock nuts on the valve stem should be
tightly screwed down as should the
valve cap. Keep spare tubs where
they will not be chafed or injured by
grease or oil. Take a careful look to
see that rims may not be causing the
loss of some service from tires. Make
sure that they are true so the tire
runs without a wobble See that the
flanges are not bent or badly rusted,
which might cause them to chafe the
side of th£. tire.
THE SPEEDWAY CLASH.
Races to Take Place September 19ih.
—To Be a 75-Mile Ctock Car Race.
Charlotte. August 21.—The South
again will be the center of she sport
ing world. The famour Carolina speed
way at Charlotte on September 19th
is to be the scene of the most thril
ling speed clash in the history of au
tomobile racing.
Three major championship events
and one stock car class of cars of
three hundred and under cubic inches
are scheduled to be held under an
nouncement by speedway officials.
Complying with me rvTd American
Automobile Association rules the fol
lowing races are programmed for the
classic, twenty-five-mile championship
dash, fifty-mile championship sprint,
one hundred-mile championship mar
athon.
While the contest board Is not defi
nitely committed to the movement for
stock car racing, there is such a pro
nounced demand for this form of com
petition that the board has felt com
pelled to include stock car racing in
its plans.
Immediately following the speedway
decision for a 75-m : le stock care rate
the announcement was greeted by a
wave of enthusiasm throughout the
country. Stock cars piloted by some
of the most renowned drivers in the
world were run at the Atlantic City
and (Rockway) Salem, N. H., speed
ways since the 1927 racing season op
ened last March to the Culver City,
Calif., track. /
Entry blanks have- gone forward to
the sixteen leaders in the champion
ship standing of the A. A. A. for the
three major champ : onship events,
thereby assuring the public of the
speediest group of racing drivers ever
assembled in Charlotte.
Arrangements have been completed
by speedway officials for special ex
press cars to bring the costly cars to
Charlotte. They will begin arriving
-here by September Bth, just three days
after the annual Labor Day classic
at *Altona.
The Stutz and Auburn factories will
ship the : r stock car entries direct from
Atlantic City* w r here this type of com
petition has become a reality.

“MILL” MAKES LABORER
AT THE BORDER
; Canadian Official Rules Buffalo Re
’ porter Going to Toronto Ball
Game With Typewriter Violates
Regulations.
Editpr and Bublisher.
It is illegal' for a United States
newspaper reporter to go into Cana
da to cover an assignment if he
takes his own typewriter with him,
but there is no his going on
such an errand provided he leaves
his favorite machine at home, judg
ing from an incident of last week on
the Niagara frontier.
Accompanied by his wife. Don B.
Reed, baseball writer for the Buffa
lo Evening -News, began a motor
journey to Toronto to cover the
series between the International
League baseball team of that erty
and the Buffalo team of the same
league. Arriving at the border at
Niagara Falls he was asked where
he was going and like all good re
porters told the truth- The Canadian
official, spotting the typewriter,
forced the reporter and his wife to
turn back, ruling they would be en
tering the country to work, contrary
to certain Dominion regulations.
The baseball writer took his auto
mobile and typewriter to a Falls
garage, boarded a train, and upon
being questioned by another Cana
dian official told his destination.
Having no typewriter this time he
was admitted without question and
the series was covered, using a
Canadian typewriter to produce the
copy.
While in Toronto, Mrs. Reed suf
fered a serious attack of ptomaine
poisoning from which she is now re
covering.

Kannapolis, Aug. 19.—Miss Mary
Graeber. fourth daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. C. H. Graeber, of this city, and

Night Bombing PuiJs in War Did
Little Damage.
The effect upon the enemy of
aerial bombing raids by night during
the World War was chiefly a moral
one, as little damage was usually
done, points out Floyd Gibbons, not
ed war correspondent, in an artie’e
fn this week’s Liberty . Describing
the results of a night-raid by Eng
lish flyers upon the airdrome com
manded by Baron Manfred von
Richthofen, •'the celebrated German
ace, during which 130 bombs—more
than a ton of explosives—were drop
ped, the writer say:
“The German squadron leader re
ported. as the result of the raid, that
ninety-eight bombs had dropped on
thj airdrome, and that four hangars
had been reduced to ashes. The
ground casualties were believed to
have been slight.
“In Richthofen’s onii lon. the only
effect of bomb-dropping at night was
a moral one. He did not believe that
the material damage done was worth
the effort.”
Mrs. Perlev Cook entertained the
members of her Sunday School class
at a p’enic Tuesday afternoon at
