He succeeds Edd Lady, who held the presidency for the past two years and who this year will serve in the capacity of general business manager, schedule maker, and the gent delegated to hire, fire and farm players. ..Taints W.

He is a strong be liever in clean athletics and is of the dpiiiion that baseball, if kept free from gambling and unquestionable nets, will be to sports of the country what edu cation is to the mind. Since 1920, possibly earlier, be has divided his ;time from his furniture between doing lieer'.css Sunday School work and pro moting clean/ baseball among the young men of Kannapolis. He is generally recognized as the father of the Sun day School League here. GOODLY sized crowd to MEET. A goodly crowd of fans and officials , turned out for the meeting. Pol s’ lowing the election of new officers the greater part of the time was given, ovir to a discussion of the needs of the club; The greatest need ma terialized from an idea that originated with Mr. Sharpe who echoed that the men in attendance underwrite one thousand dollars, to begin, and gradu ally increase} the amount to three thousand dollars or one thousand fans at three dollars each. This will de fray the expenses of the playing man ager during the season ,and pay ’for the services of two star mouudsemen. TW retft of Jt lie t players will be paid from the receipts taken ut the gtates. * Mr. Sharpe also 'announced that Charles A." Cannon, president of the Cannori Mills Company, had agreed to rebuild the Cabarrus Dark anil should a fast team be guaranted the work of reconstruction will begin at once. \ MANAGERIAL SELECTION NOT KNOWN.

NOVARRO’S LOVE AT THE THEATRE BEGAN AT TWELVE Present of a Marionette Theatre Cre ated His Interest In Drama. A 'theatrical producer at twelve. A world film idol at twenty-seven. This is the gamut of the eventful history of Ramon Novarro, hero of "Ben-Hur,” star of a dozen other big features, now appearing in the prin cipal role of "Lovers," which comes Monday and Turesday to the Concord Thcatrc. with Alice Terry as the hero ine and u big Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cast,. Novarro’s first theatrical experience was in Durango,'Mexico, his boyhood home—and carved the way to his .life work. His father presented him \yitji a marionette theatre, and Novarro learned to produce plays with the little figures. As he became adept he took plays appearing on the stage and wove them into bis shows, and eventually started a little marionette theatre. Later lie studied for opera—but re verted to his love for drama—and that’s how he finally became a screen star. Novarro’s new role is one unique in his experience in “Scaramouche," "The Midshipman, ’’ “A Certain Young Man" and "Ben-Hur."* He plays a young Spaniard of the modern day—in the Spain that exists today, in u vivid adaptation of Chas. F. Xirdinger's famous play, hinging on the perils of scandal to society. Miss Terry, heroine of “Mare Nos trum" and "The Magician,” and who played with him in "Scaramouche,” and other some years ago. plays the heroine, and Edward Mnrtindcl, Ed ward Connelly, George K, Arthup, John Miljan, and others of note are in the east. The story was directed by ,lohii M. Stahl. A dramatic duel Scene, and a gripping plot surrounding the men ace of gossip an (Pits destructive tear ing dowu of the foundations of human souls, mark the new drama. It was staged on an elaborate scale at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studies. The play aroused great interest on the stage in New York, and its adap tation to the screen under the man who directed "The Gay Deceiver,” "Memory Lane” and other famous fea tures is one of the interesting events of the dramatic season.

WRAY International News Service Staff Correspondent. i London, April 29.—" The United States has established a valuable prece dent in international golf by secleeting •idly players of American birth for the "Ryder Cup," says Harold Hilton, the famous ex-champion golfer, writing in "Golf Illustrated." “No reasonable complaint," says Mr. Hilton, "could have been made ir America had included among her resources those players of British birth who have settled in America ami become naturalized Americans some of whom have unquestionably developed » 'great deal of their skill as a result of facilities afforded in the land of tlfeir adoption. “Legally, they are Americans. Moreover, if. it had been decided to regard them as eligible to represent the United States, two or three of thAn would almost certainly have been deemed worthy of places in the team, which would have been stronger as a consequence than it is now, although it. looks [powerful enough in all con science to do duty for any nation. “At the same time, it would not have iboen wholly satisfactory if Am | erica had triumphed with the aid of imported citizens.
