A Baseball Tan's Visit U tie Olneo
Hixh Point Game Yesterday.
Say, Bo, yon orter been to that;
ball game yesterday. 1 was rich,
that is for a Ban who does not itf
fer with palpitation of the heart i
That game was for anybody . who
would ask for it, bnt nobody seemed
to want it. - Regular Alphonao and
Gaston stunt, yon. know. Honest,
each side made four runs, and none,
h)f them were earned ones. Plsyed for
ten whole innings, ' finally v getting
tired of persuading each other to
take the game, they called it off, say
ing' it wss "on account of not being
able to see the horsehide for the sun.
Funny excuse, eht We always knew
the Concord people had warm hearts,
but not warm enough eagive a game
to liign foint. bounds kinder un-4
reasonable, ehf
The lanky Cineo, "Ding" Bell,
started the twirling for that aggre
gation, but had to atop and give way
to Graham, in the fourth. "Ding"
was just getting' warm, allowing on
ly one run and-two hits. He, however,
did not yield the hit that scored that
rnn, neither did the little boy, Gra
ham. All made on errors, pure and i
unadulterated errors,every one of j
them. j
Fitzgerald, Trinity Park's former
spit-ball artist: was the worker for'
the visitors. That boy was there.!
that is at some points. He allowed!
ten hits, some two baggers and a lot
of scratches, which had taxless for
hits. If his 'teammates had" not also
had the "Santa Clans" feeling in
their bones. The game might have
turned out different.
Now for the way. those runs were !
presented, not earned, mind you, but !
presented. High Point crossed the i
home stretch first. "Ding" Bell let I
Angier rap out a single in the first
inning, but Winston caught him stealing-
second. Brockwell flied to the
third. Bell then proceeded to walk
Loraan and Welch. Winston caught"!
Welch off first and started out to do I
a marathon stunt in the diamond j
finally throwing wild and allowing
I.oman to tag the rubber. Again in
the seventh little Angier singled.
Graham forced him to second by hit
ting Brockwell. Welch singled
to centerfielder Moose, who opened
his heart, or hands, we do not know
whioh, letting Angier and Brockwell
score. Ex-Goilford's" mountain of
High Point prescnMt their offer
ings in the fourth and seventh. In the
fourth, when Winston singled, and
was advanced to second by Patterson,
to third by "Pros" Pearson's single.
That made three men on, doesn't it,
Bot Well, Moose knocked one into
the hands of High Point's second
baseman, who stopped to play with it,
allowing Winston to score; Quite
plausible, eh f In the seventh itiap-
pened again, yea, that fateful or
hateful seventh was truly a "comedy
of errors." Moose slapped out a sin
gle, but was forced out at second by
Sappenfjeld. Graham singled. Rob
erts placed a fly into Loman's hands,
but he forgot to put glue into his
glove, 'Sapp", tagged and scored on
West's sacrifice te-center field.' John
son singled to center, who threw wild,
allowing Graham to score, and Win
ston tied the thing with his single,
which scored Boberts.
Some Christmas presents in circu
lation, eh,' Bo f Well, ge guess. Both
sides, however, , seemed to kick be
cause they Wanted more and were too
lazy to go after it. The grandstand
seemed to be like a band of Com'
anche Indians turned loose on a car
load of trinkets, when we were pre
sented with our share, but nothing
like' that when it came our turn to
present. . '
Son, you orter seen that West fel
ler at short. The way : that boy
scooped' 'em np and shot 'em to
first would have made a big leaguer
faint nice work. We guess Honev
cuttdidsome nice work . catching,
either assisting or putting ' out five
men. , Row-den-' made a star catch in
right,
The Cinco rooters hope that the
boys will soon realize that this is not
near Christmas and that ' thev will
get to "work. And, say, kid, if they
would get a pair - of : motor-skates
they might be able to run bases
uttle better, eh T Some scared kids
they are, when it comes to leaving a
sack, especially on that Uttle boy
Honeyoutt. -

COLONEL TO MAKE
A POSITIVE FIGHT.
Leader of Progressive Party Hopes
to Put Other Candidates on the De
fensive. Oyster Bay, N. Y AHg. 12. "At
last I can sleep o 'nights," said Col
onel Roosevelt laughingly, when told
that the plan for having William J.
Bryan, follow his trail about the
country and reply to his speeches
had been abandoned, as announced
yesterday. The Colonel said that Tie
was greatly amused at the decision
of the Democratic opponents that the
Progressive ticket was not a menace
them and that it would not be
worth while to have Mr. Bryan spend
his time in this way. "Isn't that
perfectly lovely t" he exclaimed.
It is Colonel Koosevelt 8 purpose
to make a positive fight for the Pro
gressive platform and ticket rather
than against the Republican , and
Democratic candidates. In the open
ing speeches of .his "campaign he plans
to lay chief emphasis upon what the
Progressive party . proposes to do,
rather than negative arguments. Col
onel Roosevelt hopes to place the oth
er candidates on the defensive. He
expressed all confidence in the Pro
gressive platform, drawn largely from
his speech in Chicago, which he re
eards as' the greatest effort of his
life.. :.

M'INTYRB ALLEGED
Police of . Two States Working With
High Point Officers on Case.
Greensboro, Aug. 12. Poliee of
two States working under the direc
tions of Chief of Police Ridge, of
High Point, joined in an effort to lo
cate Ed. ' R. Mclntyre, a well-to-do
young man of High Point, who is
wanted by Guilford county authori
ties upon a warrant charging the
sending of an infernal'machine to
Miss Ollie Hoover, a pretty and
prominently connected young woman
of High Point. -
The developments in the rase came
yesterday with a rapidity which vied
in startlingness with grave chrages,
while shipped through the Thomas-
ville office, was sent by a High Jfoint
man; that it was addressed to unie
Hoover rather than to "Charlie
Hoover "as way billed by the Tliom
asville express clerk. , Then the ad
mission of Chief Ridge that his men
were seeking Ed. R. Mclntyre as the
sender of the package.
In rapid order came the informa
tion that during last fall Mclntyre 's
attentions to Miss Hoover had been
rejected, that he had been warned
not to further annoy her, that in turn
lie had warned her that he "would
blow her up.with a machine whieh he
had," that secret service men had
been successful in an effort to estab
lish authorshiD bv Mclntvre of an
anonymous and threatening let(er di
rected to Miss Hoover. It was learn
ed that despite the more recent and.
more sensational developments, post
office authorities would have asked
the next federal grand jury to return
an indictment against Mclntyre on a
charge of sending threatening letters
and .obscene post-cards through the
mails to Miss Hover. '-
The Case in Epitome.
Greensboro News, 13th,
On the evening of . ' December 1
Express Manager Sara Grimes, of
Thomasville, found at the door of his
office a package, with note attached
asking that it be expressed to High
points One dollar wss enclosed to
cover, express charges. '
December 2, the package arrived
at High Point, way billed to "Char
lie Hoover" though i addressed . to
OHie Hoover."
Something like a week' later
strange man drove up to the Thom
asville office and asked u the pack
age had been properly handled. v
During the period elapsing from
December to August Miss . Ollie
Hoover, of High Point,' received i
letter threatening to- "blow her up'
and an obscene post card.
Miss Hoover reported the receipt
of these letters to the postofnee offl
eials and an investigation, by secret
service men had developed evidence
sufficient to warrant them in prepar
ing to ask the next federal. grand
jury to indict Ed. R. ?McInTyre,a
young man who had waged an un
successful love affair with Miss
Hoover. -. ?
, Saturday, August 10, the express
package way billed to "Charlie
Hoover" and addressed to "Ollie
Hoover" Was being examined by
High Point Express Manager W, M.
Busbee and his cashier, Tal Morti.n,
preparatory to consigning it to the
unclaimed or "old boss" heap.
The expressmen, to satisfy a curi
osity, fetamined the package and upr
on opening an inner door there was
a quick flash and a deafening report,
both being hurled rrom their feet and
against the floor. Manager Busbee
was brought to Leo's hospital here.
It is said he has a fine chance to re
cover, hut that his face is marked for
life. Mr. Morton was painfully,
though not so seriously burned.
An examination by Chiefof Po
lice Ridge, of High Point, showed
that the infernal machine had lain
in -the express olFice from December 2
to August 10, to explode that day in
the hands of the expressmen.
A shipping tag found near the box
and undamaged, showed that the
deadly package bore the address of
Miss Ollie Hoover, a well known and
pretty young woman of High Point.
An investigation held Sunday by
Chief Ridge and District Attorney
h. ilolton resulted in startling
disclosures, coming principally by
Miss Hoover.
Monday Chief Ridge, after holding
back two days, told a Daily News re
porter that his men were seeking Ed.
K. Mclntyre upon a warrant charg
ing him with sending the package to
Miss Hoover.
Miss Hoover is a daughter of Mrs.
Howard Maxwell, and of well to do
and prominent family. She is a niece
f I nited States Clerk of the Court
J. M. Millikan, of this city. Mcln
tyre was a welf known man in High
oint, having more or less business
mportance, but little social standing.
His former attentions to Miss' Hoov
er had been rejected and he had been
warned not to attempt to continue
his annoyances.
