REMEMBER PENNY ADS ARE CASH 1 IN AND ABOUT tHfc CgTY j GIBSON AND KANNAPOLIS PLAY THREE TIMES IN WEEK Two Teams Primes- for Contest. —Gibson Getting New Players for the Triple Meeting. | Saturday’s crushing defeat of the Gih soii Mill team has disheartened the Con cordia ns not at all. On the contrary, they are all the more determined to win back prestige lost by the fiasco over the week-end. They have, as the saying goes, blood in their eyes and every move will be toward recovering their standing in the percentage column. | The games between Concord and Kan napolis now arc: Won . Lost Tied Kannapolis 2 11 Concord 11 2 1 In order to give either team a chance to pull nway from the other, three games have been arranged for the week. On Thursday. Gibson meets Kannapolis in Concord for the regular weekly half holiday contest, Friday sees the two teams locking horns in Kannapolis and Saturday marks a meeting again in the towel city. I Kannapolis, being a wealthy club, will have no trouble about players. Their regular infield anil outfield will play and heir galaxy r.f pitchers. Hols^ouser, ( Viampion anti Shoaf, will all be ready to take their places. Gibson, on the other hand, must do some Stirling round until Thursday. The local club has been in hard financial straits until very recently and since the acquisition of adequate funds, a reorgan ization has been found necessary. The infield will probably remain intact. In the outfield, three hitlers are needed. Manager Basinger went to Charlotte Monday to ascertain whether or not A1 Johnson will play. Hatley, file Carolina slugger, will in all probability be se cured and an effort is now underway to obtain Baumgardner. Gastonia heavy hit ter. to play in eenterfield. As to pitching, the locals should be well fixed if none of the hinders go to pieces. Andy Ferguson. South Carolina pitching ace. has declared that he can beat Kannapolis if given a chance and lie will appear here on Thursday. He > played in Concord last Thursday for Fort Mill and looked mig'jty good. He held the locals to six hits ami worked nicely out of each tight place. Gates will try his luck oi^Friday and Simmons will ap pear < u Saturday. With the addition of the new out fielders and since Holshouser cannot pitch every day. Gibson is hopeful of taking at least two of the bouts. This will even matters, and if all three can be ac quired. tlie locals will jump into the lead. * Anything may happen and it is more .'.inn likely that Gibson will resume its stride in the matter of hitting and make things lively for the tip-Cabarrus boys. At any rate, there will be no more track meets such as the oue held Saturday. Jain the Y. M. C. A. Swimming Classes. The Y. M. C. A. pool is ons of the cleanest amj most sanitary in tlm c coun try.

The Lutherans of this section of, the state are holding a great picnic at Con cord Wednesday. A fine idea, we would pronounce it and one that should, and no doubt will, prove helpful. The church loses greatly by not catering more to the social side of nutn. It loses in not do ing more to bring its members together that they may know each other better, plan together, get an exchange of ideas and together undertake the work of the church. The cjiureh has long beep ac cused of neglect of its people, lewring recreational matters and social j affairs to other agencies and thereby foeiMiani interest it does not know.
