Mr. Bryan, not forgetting this city as
the home of Seuator Lee S. Overman,
made inquiry as to the junior senator

in Salisbury several times. The brief
conversation turned ta Florida real es

he had been placed in the millionaire

New York. May S.—The market lias
shown a steadier undertone today, but
it has probably been a reflection of the

in some quarters that a eoropuratipely

Bradstreefs Trade Review.
New York May 8. —Bradstreet’s to
morrow will say:
Numerous cross-currents still rob the
general trade situation of uniformity.
Beneficial effects of the breaking of the
southwestern drought tend to offset re
tardation due to colder weather over
spreading the country at the close of
last week, lienee retail trade reports are
as a whole better. Wholesale trade is
hardly as active but it still fair for an
ordinarily qtiie.t season. Industry is ir
regular. demonstrated gains in several
important lines being partially offset
by reactions to-'dullness in others. On
the favorable side as affecting senti
ment isthe continuance of the strength
manifested toward the close of last week
iq the securities and grain markets, the
more uniformly favorable reports from
the surplus crop areas, some - winter
l wheat areas excepted, the demonstrated
vitality of the automobile and allied
trades’exhibited by the setting up of new
liiyli records of production in April and
‘signs of a recurrence of activity in
building with a gain in permit valua

“STRAWBERRY”’ SAPP HERO
OF GASTONIA GAME HERE j
Ten Innings Taken in Winning Game.—
Score 6-s.—Pat Cranford “Goats”.
Constantly. t
"Strawberry" Sapp. Concord’s sorrel-1
topped shortstop, is today the uncrowned
king of the High School.
Wtaeu he presented himself at the bat
in the tenth inning of Friday's game with
Gastonia he had the weight of the world
on his shoulders. On second and on
third, two of his teammates perched wait
ing for him to bring them in-, This alone
was sufficient to make any ordinary bat
ter nervous. However, to make matters
worse, there were two outs and any slip
on “Strawberry’s" part meant that the
game would drag for another inning or
two.
But did "Strawberry" rise to the oc
casion? He did. The first one that Hen
derson. the hefty Gastonia twirier, sent
over "Strawberry" swung at and missed
by inches. Taking a new grip on his bat.
he faced the opposing pitcher again and
on the next ball, sent a scorching drive
out into right field miles and miles away
-from any player, scoring Williams and
winning the game.
The game was one of the best seen iu
these parts in many a day. not so much
from tile standpoint of good baseball,
but from the standpoint of providing
thrills. Hardly an inning passed when
the spectators Were not on the’r feet
yelling at the top of their voices.
! Then too, Pat Crawford. Gastonia
Coach, provided entertainment for the
crowd by his perfect exhibition of un
sportsmanlike "goating.” This former
favorite of local fans was sucessful in
squelching any kindly regards baseball
enthusiasts might have had for him in the
past by Irs totally miuecesary objecting
to the decisions made by the local um
pires.
True there were several close plays at
first which could have been called either
way but as the game progressed he con
tinued to run out and object to every
decision and with the game half over, in
sisted that the base umpire be removed.
This did little good aud he continued to
"goat." In the tenth inning when his
’ team got iu a tight place, with Williams
on third and Mclnuis on second and
“Strawberry" at the bat, Coach Crawford
ran out on the field ami began giving in
structions to the pitcher and the second
baseman and probably would have rc
inaiued there had not Simpson repri
manded him iii no uncertain terms.
The game started brilliantly when
Simpson, tile first batter for Concord,
took a healthy swing at the first ball i
thrown over and' lifted it high over the!
fence to the roofs of houses at a nearby ,
street, opening the game auspiciously
with a home ruu, From this point to
the fifth inning, the game was scoreless.
In this session. Hal walked and was
out on a fielder's choice. Watts being
safe on first. Watts advanced to sec
ond when Morris errored Sullivan's ■
grounder. Simpson was purposely walk- j
cd and with the lases loaded Henderson
walked Williams, forcing Watts in and
then Widenhoiise doubled, scoring Sulli
van and Simpson.
Gastonia scored three runs in the sixth
with three hits and then made twi> more
in their lmif of the eiglith. Concord tied
the score iu the last half of the eighth
when Mclutiis tripled and Sapp singled.
Sullivan pitched a steady game for'
Concord aud was accorded good suport
in pinches. Simpson, Sapp and Melnnis
led in the hitting. For Gastonia Snyder.
Ritclifonl. Jackson and Henderson hit
well. j

XANSEMOND APARTMENTS
NOW BEING OCCUPIED
Persons Living In Them Find Them i
(Convenient and Homelike. —Three j
Apartments in the Building.
Concofd's newest apartment house, S
the Xanseinond. at the corner of Corbin a
land Spring streets, has recently been g
completed and is now being occupied. 8
The building was constructed by J. I’. S
Cook and is one of the handsome it of 2
its kind in the city. , §
it is two stories in height and has S
three apartments in jt. Two of these «
apartments facej the front on Corbin 8
street and the other faces on Spring 2
street. Ail are very commodious and «
light. The fact that each apartment 3
has two stories, making it possible to use 8
the second floor for bedrooms, gives to z
them a more homelike atmosphere. 3
in each apartment there are six rooms 2
and a bath, together with a suitable 2
number of closets. All of the rooms 8
have plenty of outside light, giving them 8
a cheery appearance.
11l the downstairs there is a living g
room, a dining room, a kitchen, a pantry 3
and a back porch. The living room is a
most attractive on account of the fact ;
that it is of such large size and has 3
such perfect appointments. On one side 3
of it a stairway leads the next floor j
and on the other, French doors lead to g
the dining room. Behind this is the 8
kitchen.
Persons who have rented apartments g
are particularly pleased with the kitchen. «
It is equipped with everything that is :
needed in a modern room of this kind. ;
One particular joy. say the housewives. S
is the very fine gas stove with a fireless S
cooker attachment. In addition to this •
there are built in cabinets and all the !
other necessities of a kitchen.
The upstairs lias three bedrooms and ]
a bath. The front bedroom is quite •
commodious, extending as it does across i
the entire front of the house. It can t
be used conveniently as a nursery when j
there are children in the family. The •
other two bedrooms are of average size. :
One unusual feature of the apartments j
is the space provided for parking cats. .
This is done in the alcove betweeu the ;
apartments, there being ample space for j
parking four cars.
Persons who are occupying the apart- !
incuts are very pleased at t 11" very "eon- ;
venieiit arrangement of the entire build- j
ing. They declare that they are very :
delighted at its homelike qualities in i
addition to the very modern design. I
"There is." said one of the residents. ;
"a place for every thing, even to the milk ;
bottle."

apartments.
