PAGE TWO STAMEY, HEAFNER SHOW GOOD FORM Former Chosen Alternate For All-American Game to Be Played in Chicago Local representatives. 17-year-old John Stamey, pitcher, and 15-year-old Jack Heafner, outfielder, turned in impressive performances in the third annual Carolinas All-Star Boys’ clas sic played in Griffith park in Char lotte Friday night. The North Caro lina team won by the score of 8 to 3, identical score of the contests played the two previous years. Stamey, an outstanding southpaw pitcher 0 f Cherryville Junior and Lincolnton High teams in 1944-45, and Wake Forest college moundsman of the past season, was at his best in Friday night’s big game. He was most impressive of the three Tar Heel pitchers who worked during the game. Pitching the final three in nings he faced only ten South Caro lina batsmen and fanned seven of them. He gave up one walk, got one man on a dribbling grounder to the box, and forced the remaining one to sky to right field. His perform ance was good enough to earn him the runner-up honors in the ballot ing to select the outstanding player of the game. Winning this coveted honor and the right to represent the Carolinas in the All-American game to b e played August 10 in Chicago, 111., was Pete Whisenant, centerfield er, and star member of the Mecklen burg Junior team. Whisenant was the howitzer of the Tar Heel 13- hit attack, connecting for two triples and two singles in five times at bat. Stamey. as first alternate to Whis enant, could be North Carolina’s rep resentative in the Chicago game in the event Whisenant, the winner, was unable to participate. Early in the season here, as a member of the Long Shoals semi-pro team of the Textile League, he pitched a no-hit, no-run game against Bessemer City, fanning 20 of the opposing batters. Heafner, star pitcher-outfielder of the Lincolnton High and Junior teams this season, played left field the first five innings of Friday night’s game. He was at bat three times, and collected two hits. In his first trip to the plate he was a strike out victim, but in his second trip ha beat out an infield hit, and in his final plate appearance drilled a hard hit to right field with the bases load ed to score two North Carolina run ners. Heafner’s home is at High Shoals. Only 15 years old, Coach Jack Kiser of the Lincolnton High school calls him one of the most promising prospects he has ever coached. “A natural born baseball player,” says Mentor Kiser of the High Shoals youth. 0 S2OO FOR EACH AMERICAN Washington, July 15 There is enough money in circulation to aver age out to ?200.30 for each Ameri van.

Hi BK'if Editor, Lincoln Times: The defeat of supplemental school , 1 tax is understandable only in the light of a taxpayers’ “strike.” Apparently j endorsed by everybody and opposed by nobody, it lost. The over-burdened taxpayer has borne up patiently through the wat years. He has paid his Federal income tax, State income tax, county tax, town tax. sales tax, Social Security tax, unemployment tax, intangible tax. along with scores of indirect taxes. He has hardly had enough left to buy himself a piece of fat back if he could find it. Now h e is silently saying that he is car rying all the load he is able to carry. That future needs must be met by stopping duplication, unnecessary spending and waste. The demand for retrenchment and economy is even reaching Washing ton. People are wanting to see a lot of wartime bureaus abolished and their high-salaried political job-hold ers returned to civilian employments to earn an honest living. One strong argument for abolishing OP A is that , it will cut off 34,000 employees from the payroll. t If our teachers want more money . they can get it without any tax in . crease by sponsoring and putting I through a law consolidating all town , (say with not more than 20,000 pop [ ulation) school administrations with the county schools. This would re- j [ suit in a more unified and efficient j management, and save the cost of a j . town superintendent, his secretary, town school board, their attorney. . high cost audits, etc., which saving could be used to increase teachers' salaries. If one superintendent can handle j the schools of Charlotte with 100,000 . population, why are two superintend , ents necessary for Lincoln county \ with its 25.000 population? J Prior to O. Max Gardner’s inaugu | ration as Governor of North Carolina, , he invited all the newly elected leg islators from over the state to a get s together meeting at Cleveland \ Springs. Dr. A. T. Allen, then State I Superintendent of Public Instruction , was there, and stated privately that ,! consilidation of school districts was ' well advanced and the next reform slated was the consolidation of the small town administrations with the ' county boards. Unfortunately he [ passed away before this was com pleted, but numerous consolidations were effected by the legislature of | 1933. t These displaced superintendents; would be available for principals and j teachers, thus relieving the shortage, j ; T. N. JAMES. I ! LOUIS TO DEFEND HIS TITLE AGAIN New York, July 15—Joe Louis will ? make his 23rd defense of his world heavyweight title against Tami Mau * riello of New York at Yankee sta dium on Wednesday, September 1, ! Promoter Mike Jacobs announced, i Jacobs said that both princi pals had signed contracts for the bout, which will be Louis’ sec- I ond title defense of the year. ‘ j The champion knocked out Billy . Conn at Yankee Stadium June 18. , Ticket prices will be scaled from j j $3 to S3O. taxes included. Jacobs said, j Although terms of the contracts w r ere ! . not announced, it was learned that THE LINCOLN TIMES, LINCOLNTON, N. C., MONDAY, JULY 15, 1946 HUGHES SHOWS AMAZING RALLY —j l Crash Victim Better Despite Clogged Lung, Burns and Nine Rib Fractures Los Angeles, July 15 Howard Hughes rallied during the week end in his fight to survive shattering crash injuries, and his physicians commented, “W e are amazed at his recuperative powers.” His condition has been critical ' since he was injured in the pileup of a fast new photo-reconnaissance plane Sunday a week ago, and on Thursday night took a turn for the j worse. But a bulletin Saturday afternoon, signed by his three doctors, declared: “Mr. Hughes' condition has improv ed slightly during the last 12 hours. In spite of great pain on movement of the patient, he slept at short in tervals during the night and he has taken some nourishment. His tem perature remains elevated, but has been constant for the last 24 hours. “There is a large collection of fluid in the left chest. The right lung is functioning in spite of features of the first and second ribs. There are ex tensive second and third degree burns on the lower part of the left chest. This precludes removal of fluid in | the left chest unless evidence of in fection is certain. “There are fractures of nine ribs on the posterior wall of the left chest, i and in addition of the left clavicle.” O Sadly Disappointed (Charlotte Observer) Some people are very angry that j the world didn’t come to an end, at least, the economic world of the United States, when OPA was knock |ed in the head. They expected prices to double, to triple, to go out of sight, and are sadly disappointed. Adding to their wrath and discom fiture is the reappearance of scarce foods and articles, some of which have become practically extinct. These amateur economists, these prophets of doom, find people going along as usual, managing somehow to survive, eating and wearing, working and generally behaving very calmly. The prophets in many cases don’t give a rap about inflation or the dear people they would save. They aren’t interested in that phase of the problem at all. What they want is continued, increasing bureaucratic control of the people, the government a managed econon»/ —with themselves |as the managers. That is their pri ' mary aim; really their only aim. They are going to find that there is something far greater than their puny hands that in the end will con trol, stabilize, bring order from con fusion. It is called supply and de mand. When one overbalances the other, natural forces take hold and a balance is achieved. It may take a ! little time but it comes. Nothing can ! stop it. The angry, disappointed bureau crats might as well shake their lit tle fists at the sun and order it to | change its course, as to fight this old law, this natural law, not made ! by man but made for man, made for i his enjoyment, his protection, his I very survival. ! Louis will receive his customary 40 per cent of the receipts and Mauriello 1 1 15 per cent.

A. W. Fanjoy, owner of Joyacres Farm, flew to Fort Worth, Texas, and purchased a six-month-old call', which was sired by Real Silver Dom ino 44th, the bull that brought a rec ord price of $52,000. Mr. Fanjoy | also bought an outstanding cow at the sale, which saw 600 animals sell for a total price of $600,000. J. Horton Daughton, of Statesville, accompanied Mr. Fanjoy to the Fort Worth sale, and they made the trip in a specially chartered plane. “Iredell county is indeed glad to announce the purchase of such a bull,’’ Gaston says, “as it is, in all probability, the finest in the South and will make Iredell undisputed lead er in Hereford breeding. O Biggest Inflator (Charlotte Observer) Warning that Federal taxes may have to be increased if price control isn’t re-established exactly as the administration desires it, Secretary of the Treasury Snyder sounds as if he is uttering a threat. An increase, he said, would be nec essary. He doesn’t explain why oth er than vaguely indicating that it would be an anti-inflation measure. That is. the idea would be to take mor e into the treasury to spend as fast as it arrives on the extravagan ces of the most spendthrift govern ment on earth. It would be scattered in great hunks among people who would pro ceed to spend it rapidly and careless ly, with some of it getting back to the government for more extrava gance—around and around in a dizzy whirl, contributing further t 0 infla tion, mounting to a whirlwind, a cy- Mcn»h Os July Bad Time Fo** Accidents Vashingt n, July Beware of July it’s got a bad record for acci dental death. | That warning came front the Cen- I sus Bureau along with a report that 1 for seven of the 27 general types of accidental deaths, July was the black banner month in 1944, latest year for which detailed figures ar e available.
