Reorganization Os the Cannon club
was perfected at a meeting of the players
last night. James Smith resigned' as

ed his successor. Tffio changed team met
with the hearty approval of the fans.
Thursday, July 2, will be open to all

ing, made to bring Jhldie Brietz, of the
Charlotte Observer, here to address the

“Red” Parker twirled the league lead
ing Rleaehery club to a 2 to 0 yietory over
the Cannon team last Thursday after
noon. By this victory he HOW: has six
won games and no defeats to his credit.
Parker also set up a mark foil, the, other
pitchers to shoot at when he held the
Canopus .hitless. This is the only time
in the history of the league a moundman
has h*ld his opponents entirely without
a.bingle. Beyond the fact that “Red” Is
there for the ball club and works his
hardest at all timeaj- he doesn't get any
credit for all that.lwork.
Fans who have visited Cabarrus field
are returning singing the praises of the
park. It looks better every time one
sees it. Being more attractive is but nat
ural that the . crowds will be larger, for
everyone is now assured of a good seat
without being crowded.

CARNIVOROUS FISH OF RIVER
OF DOUBT ON SCREEN
Educational Film Shewing the Wild Life
in a Brazilian State.
Rio de Janeiro, Braail, June 24.—An
educational film has' been exhibited in
Rio de Janeiro showing the wild life 1
frontier industries in the Brazilian state
of Matto Grosso. This is the second larg- :
est s(nte in the unjon, being more‘than :
twice the size of Tjyap. • ■
There; are plenty us ! Indians living in
, Matto Grosso, most e{, them in the hunt
ing and fishing peritid of civilisation.
The then of the Bororo tribe, which was 1
shot fpr the picture, use no but <
the women have beeti taught by the Fed- |
eral Indian service to wear a simple* form i

dangerous animals !of the cat fbmily, :
which kill livestock through u great, part 1

liar wedding custom was filmed, showing
the return of a young man with the hide
of a jaguar, killed to prove his bravery, a
necessary action before the right of mar
riage is given to a man. „
Another feature of life in the interior,
mentioned by the late Theodore Roose

River of Doubt, ate the piranhas, the

have charge of the team. Lindsey says
he has n fast bunch of youngsters and
that they are going good, and looks for
n fast game. He will probably pitch An
derson. though he has not get given out
his line-up. It is 'probable that Fink,
Lee, Fowler, Wood, McClain,
Helms, and Johnston. State College star,
will be seen on the field. Anderson prom
ises well on the mound, and has done
some good work there. This will be the
first game in Kannaitolis for the 1025 sea
son, with the exception of the high school
and Twilight League games, and it is
hoped that the weather man will be good
to these boys, as everyone of them is
anxious for the game, and quite a _crowd
of fans will, flock out to see these boys
open the season.
Ix)well has already played some of the
fastest clubs in the State, and won sev
eral games! which means that in all
probability Kannapolis will not have a
walk-over.
The Bleachery club, of the Twilight cir
cuit, continues to win ball games. The
Kwnn forces have lost Snl.v three games
this season, two wen 1 lost on protest.
Prospects appear to be bright in the sec
ond half of the race for the Cabarrus,
Cannon and Midway Clubs, and Bleaeh
ery will have a harder time this half
than last. In fact, they may find them
selves replaced by one of the other tennis,
but the BleacW.v look pretty good just
now. ‘•Red" Parker, pitcher, is’ about
85 per cent of the works of the Ewau
boys and should a couple good tossers
join,the. other clubs there would be quite
a blow-yp in this respect.' The Cannons
are dickering for, Sullivan, of Concord
'tame, to help them win more game*. He
ja. expected to join them next half. Sul*
livgn is said to be an excellent pitcher j
as well as a dangerous and consistent hit
ter.' Mauldin. Davidson College tosser,
has joined the staff of the Cabarrus
twirlers. He fared badly in his first
start, however.
Grace Jones, captain of the southern
champion girls' basketball team, will be
in the city for a few days to give mefe
bers of the Girl Scouts team a few points
on the art; of “caging the old leather
globe." ‘The Girl Scouts have one of the
best teams in this section of the state,
and Miss Jones may return next winter
to conch them.
Vfinnif Montgomery, Cabarrus short
stop, who sprained hjs ankle in the Ca
barrus-Cannon affray, was able to dis
card his crutches yesterday. He may be
able to offer for tripl within a few,days. -
Rgy Jones, fast .shortstop and man
ager of the Monaghan mills team of
Green Ville. S. C., has signed a Cabarrus
! contract and will report here tomorrow.
He will likely warm up a little before
the game Monday.
Kext Tuesday afternoon the curtain on
baseball will ‘fall, that is for the time
being, in the Twilight League. Monday 1
will see the*Midway and Cabarrus clubs .
in the first double* header of the season.
Tuesday Cabarrus and Bleachery will
close the first half of the season at the '
Cabarrus park while Midway and Cannon ,
will put the finishing touches on the last '
game at the Cannon field.

bad a dr-nk dispenser named Henry. When
he was wanted it was natural to call out

reasons he did not wan| to sign his own

then called out “Oh, Henry!” to stand

over. “Why not O. Heury?” said one.
