MEADOWS PITCHES
BRILLIANT
BALL.
Barring "BoneheaA" Offensive Work
Both Teams Put Up Good Game.
The Cincos drew first blood in the
series of games with Kannapolia here
this week, defeating the visitors yes
terday afternoon at Locke Park by
a score of 3 to 1. A large crowd wit
nessed the game.
Anderson and Meadows were the
opposing flingers, being the second
battle between the two twirlers. Tbe
right handed box artist triumphed
over his formidable rival, the latter
suffering from the same eause his
successful rival did on their previous
meeting wierd flinging. Anderson
pitched a good game of ball but show
ed for the first time this season a
tendence to lose the whereabouts of
the plate. Meadows' showed more
stuff than on any of his previous en
tries to the box, which the fans
well know, is showing some. He had
everything and used it with great ef
fect, fanning eighteen and allowing
only four hits.
In speaking of Anderson it might
be said, and the records will uphold
the statement, that he is some classy
t wirier. It has been the habit of cer
tain players in the Piedmont circuit
to say that the lanky southpay
"hasn't got a thing." If Anderson
"hasn't got a thing'' there is quite
a collection of ball players in this
league who have never learned the
art of connecting with a straight ball.
A sensajional catch by West at
short, Willett's steady work behind
the plate, M. 'Kirk's and Moose's
mtick work and Miller's home run
drive over the left field fence fea
tured the fray.
Concord scored in the fourth. Pat
terson singled. Pearson bunted and
was out at first station. Grier made
a wild heave to Kirk to catch Pat
terson at third and the runner com
pleted the circuit. One more was
added in the fifth. Roberts, who jg
the most" successful "get on" man
in this section, was hit by pitched
ball. West and Johnson walked.
Winston singled scoring Roberts.
With the bases full Patterson and
Pearson practiced surgery on the at-
mosphere.
Moose smashed a vici
ous swat at Anderson, who made a
swell stop and cut off an impend
ing rally.
"One more came across in the
eighth. Moose was safe when Par-
rish dropped Ins long wallop down
the right foul line. He scored a mo
ment later on Dusenbery's single,
coupled with a bad heave by Over
cash. Kannapolis scored their only run
in the same frame. Big Albert Mil
ler rode one to the clouds and when it
dropiied it dropped on the outside
of the fence, thereby entitling him to
a trip around the bases.
The two teams play this afternoon
at the same park. R. II. E.

Electric Chair Finds Many Victims.
New York, Aug, 10. Twepty-two
years ago this week, on August 6,
1890, Wiliam Kemnler, a condemned
murderer, was put to death in the
electric chair in Auburn prison.
Kemner was the first person to be
legally executed by the electricity
in the United States and his case was
the subject of wide discussion at the
time. The action of New York in
substituting the electric chair for the
gallows has been found generally sat
isfactory and her example has been
followed by Ohio Virginia, South
Carolina, Massachusetts, Kentucky
New Jersey and North Carolina.
Since the execution of Kemner
there has been 154 persons put to
death in the electric chair in New
York. The ,'itate prison authorities
estimate that it costs about $400 per
individual to carry out the capital
punishment mandate. On the basis
of this -esti mate New York State has
expended about $65,000 for electro
cutions since that form of inflicting
the death penalty, was introduced.
heveial times the elcerio chair at
Sing Sing has had two victims in one
day and on one occasion a short time
ago three persons were put to death
within tbe period or twenty-four
hours. But never before has there
been such a wholesale execution of
death sentences imposed on prisoners
in this State as is scheduled to take
place at Sing Sing next week. Nine
men are io die on the same day, and
in as rapid succession as thety can be
led to the death' chair.' Six of the
nine prospective victim are the Ital
ians who were convicted of the as
troeious murder of Mrs. Mary Hall
at Croton Lake, Westchester County,
on wov. , lan.

Senator Simmons' Record.
From J. W. Bailey's Speech.
I propose that we shall first con
sider his record as Senator. - I am
willing to discuss it in detail, but 1
hold that it is impossible to pass a
just judgment upon any man's rec
ord on the inferences trom any one
or two or ten individual acts. 1 have
no doubt that Chief Justice Clark has
rendered now and then a decision dis
pleasing some of his fellow Dcmo
Crats. But his record as a whole is
a matter of pride to us all. I have
no doubt that some of you arc in
clined to -criticise Governor Kitchin
for some of his acts some of
the pardons that he has granted or
his action on the trust question, for
example. But on his record as ,u
whole 1 am here to say that he has
made a good governor. 1 suppose
that Senator Simmons has cast some
three or four thousand votes since
he has been in the Senate. From this
distance, in our ignorance of the true
situation, we may pick out here and
there a vote that we would not ap
prove. But who would be so small
as to judge his whole record in such
a narrow spirit f Such a judgement
were worthy only the man, who, look
ing at the world through the reverse
end of a glass, would declare only
himself big and all other men little.

Oyster Bay, August ID. Colonel

sisted that ten years bene, it would
he found that the new party had solv

only way in which to really benefit
the black race. Attention jwas called

it is so much letter than the tumult

things of vacation. The surf is
pleasure and exercise and excitement
all in one. The new Casino is very
fine ami imposing, and the nightly
informal and friendly and full of the
personal charm of many prelty girls,
who are happy because they are alive
end not because they can change
frocks seven times a day. The atmos-
pheie has the best simplicity of the
true Virginia tradition. It is quiet
and unaffected and companionable.
It shows no sign of t he money-mania,
or the speed-mania, or the snob
mania. -We hope Virginia Beach will he

a resort for families and children
and young people and old people,
where the simple human pleasures
are sufficient, and where the social
life is democratic yet dignified, and
everything is tenqiered 'with the
wholesome buoyancy and serenity of
the great outdoors. The ocean and
the sky and the people are the real
charms of Virginia Beach, and we
hope will be so always."
