teams thus far, Kannapolis has slight
ly the stronger nine. Concord’s in
field looks and is the strongest but
the Towelers loom bright and loud in
the outfield, on the mound and behind
the plgtter. Concord’s more danger
ous at bat but the Towelers are bet
ter and surer fielders. So, write your
own ticket. Both clubs are as fit as
a fiddle and are raring as the old gray
mare to hit it up in a good old fash
ioned baseball battle, such as only
Concord and Kannapolis can present.
While the Towelers arg battling
the Conewdians tfie Kannapolis road
club will meet Davidson at Davidson.
Clyde Lipe, Lottie Fowler, and Jul
ius Efird, of ihe Locke Mill team, will
cavort for the vikings of the highways
this afternoon and a good fight is ex

nt the studios was real' ice—kept
frozen by pipes connected to an ice
machine, and the snow was cold but
the day was warm. Owen didn’t have
any freezing prj.es uuder his over
coat.
It's a funny feeling—feet cold as
the dickens on the ice and the rest of
nio sweltering under hij overcoat,” he
said. “I was afraid I'd' catch cold
from cold feet while the rest of me
telt bath.”

some statistics on the Weavers’ bril
liant victory over Statesville strike
your baseball appetite this evening
N. B.—Kannapolis supporters are ask
ed to stand by.
• « • *
Ending a line of consecutive wins
was the feat established by Skipper
Lou’s team in walloping Statesville.
The Hustlers had rung up nine
straight victories and came to town
in>ent on stretching the number to
ten, but they lacked the punch in
their hup tie in the pinches and fell by
the wayside under a barrage of Con
cord binglex. • J
*** * i
Here's the statistics :
First hits: Daugherty, Concord);
Meadows (Statesville).
First double. Gilbert (Statesville).-
Fii v ’t home run, Daugherty, (Con
cord).
Scaring first tally, Greason (Con
cord), marching home from third on
Daugherty's homer over the left field
vyall in the first inning.
First sacrifice, Basinger (Concord)';
Greason advanced two bases on the
play in his swift, elusive base-run
ning.
First Concord player to reach first,
Bord; he was given a pass to the base
When hit by a pitched ball.
First strikeout, Miller (Concord);
Ball (Statesville).
First double play, Meadows to Gil
bert, second inning (Statesville) r
Bord to Daugherty to Lewellyn, third
inning (Concord).
Hits given up by Bartel .(Concord)
9; by McLaughlin, 12 (Statesville).
Home runs, Daugherty, Lewellyn
and Outeu (Concord).
Concord's dozen Jiits netted twenty

totalled only ten bases.
Ou(en was the only man who was !
given a base on balls during the 1
game.

i Every man on the Concord team
with the exception of four collected
!a hit in the- opaping game. |
Scoring most runs: Daugherty, two, 1
(Concord).

Concjird Jed the field in almost ev-1
cry phase of the battle. It is nothing ,
less than remarkable that the Cbii- j
cord players, several of whom had to I
be introduced to each other for the
first timb a few minutes prior to the
game, should work so smoothly as the
team did in placing Statesville on the
toboggan. Aijd speaking optimistical
ly, we wooden what kind of victories
the boys will pile up when they have
worked together for a while. ,
Manager Lewellyn well pleased
with his team, and the (’oucord fans
are even more enthusiastic. With
Hovis and Outeu, two of , North Cflk-o
olinu State's best players, working in I
the outfield, an infield second to none j
in the amateur class. Concord has one j
of the best ball clubs in its history. |

is the pitching staff, but Lou is keep-:

tH$ CONCORD bAILY TRIBUNE
DID YOU EYER
STOP TO THINK
George Crosbie, editor of the Cork
(Ireland) Evening Echo, say*:
That every civilized country, at the
moment, is suffering from a lack of
dwelling house*. ,
With dll the progress science has
made, (o erect a habitation today, no
| matter how modest, involves a very
considerable outlay of capita). So far
no reasonable scheme has been sug
gested for urban dwellers, but I
thought people living in places where
sites are cheap but labor scarce may
be interested to hear how the hous
ing problem was dealt with to some
extent in our Irish congested dis
tricts.
I Quite a number of years ago I was
fishing on a Kerry lake and observed
;« very pretty cottage—the only habi
tation in sight—on the northern bank.
I went there for tea, and on closer
inspection I found the exterior a sub
stantially built dwelling and a very
effective addition to. the landscape.
The interior was rather disappointing.
I learned from the owner that he was
a small farmer on a famous estate
which had been cleared not only of
people but of houses in the eighties.
Some fifteen years after eviction he
was restored to his holding and the
board of- public works supplied him
with 30 pounds worth of building ma
terial. This was to be repaid at the
rate of some 3 or 4 per cent a year
for ,68 years, which would theji ex
tinguish both principal and interest.
With this help and by his own labor
he erected his tiny castle.
, It occurs to me that if this ex
cellent plan were adopted generally
by governments or local ladies it
might help materially to lessen one
I of the causes that render in all com
munities country life so unattractive.

Weekly Cotton Review.
1 New York. June 10. —The rather
reactionary tendencies which developed
in the cotton market after the advance
; of late last month were promoted by
improving weather accounts from the
south but lifted showing dediiies of
about 90 points from the best on
Monday, prices turned tinner on cover

stimulated by apprehensions that the
j usual June rise iu the Mississippi

would resu)t in the reffgoding of some
land from which previous flood waters
I had subsided, and also by reports
that the showers or rains reported

“The Store That Satisfies, and the Home of Beautiful Furniture”
in west Texas had' been insufficient.
As frioes worked higher, the buying
movement broadened with a consider
able fresh demand reported for both
trade and speculative account, and the
kttijfket was active toward the end of
the week with new high records es
taHished for the season on the new
crop positions.
October contracts which had sold
up to 17.32 on June 1 and down to
10.41 on the decline at the beginning
bf this week, advanced to 17.45 this
morning, making a recovery of more
than a cent a pound in about four
days of trading. As the price ap
proached the 17 T-2 cent level for
this position realizing developed and
there was moderate reactions with
some fulling off in the volume of busi
ness. Figures have been published
indicating that unfilled orders for
standard cotton cloths on band at the

Now York, June 10.—liradstreefs
tomorrow will say:
I .With a turn for the better in sevt
eral arcus, the crop and retail trade
situation has measurably improved,
but crops and trade Nhow great ir
regularities, with some crops, as for
instance, corn, later in some states
than for nearly a quater of a cen
tury past, and the winter wheat pros
pect is for a crop 90,000,000 bushels,
or 14 per cent below a year ago.
Eastern and far western markets
send relatively best reports/ as to
trade, and iu crops, the smaller grains,
especially wheat, and bay. present the
best reports. Industry has tended
to quiet, notable in this respect 'being
iron and steel after a close-to-record
five months; the automobile Industry,
which reflects shutdowns for changes
in models, and the furniture manufac
turing trade, in textiles, cotton goods
manufacturing- sends by fur the best
reports, although jrnyon is activo. and
takings of silk are of record size for
the elapsed portion of the year, al
though reports are conflicting in dif
ferent centers, partly because of the
lower prices for the raw material
and finished goods. Weekly bank
clearings : $10,665,380,000.
