Firecracker Firing Created Excitement Several Citizens Become Wratjiy About Promiscuous Shoot ing Of Fireworks. Shelby's “wide open” firecracker Christmas passed without any seri ous damage to property or injuries to citizens, but according to gen eral reports several rows developed on the uptown business streets from the promiscuous shooting of fire works. One or two men called jouths w ho shot firecrackers near them, or members of their family, while one enranged citizen is reported to have “crawled” a young fellow who toss ed one so near him that his trous ers leg was split when the fire-1 cracker exploded. Another report was that at least one business firm let it be known that firecracker shooting near theli stga-e door had apparently kept a i yOertain amount of shoppers away.. 11 The Transient Star of finseball TW ESTIMATED AT $150,000 ah* ^*200.000.^ {2ATAH CHICAGO A SIG PILE OF Coin u AH* FWE r\ pla I j I t IF 'TPA'JE.l.

I« Crmt Bnuia rwkb nmrmi - Br QUIN HALL. WITH a small amount of luck Rogers Hornsby may yet star on every team in the National League. In the past three years Hornsby has been the shooting star of the great pastime and in that short time he has played on three dif ferent clubs. Next year he is booked to be with the Chicago Cubs, and if he does a good job there he may yet live to hold down the second corner at Brook lyn. Philadelphia. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. At the rate he’s go ing it will only require four more years to turn the tri~k and there’s enough good baseball left in the “Rajah” to make it possible. Hornsby started his grip pack ing when he won a National League pennant and a World Se ries for the St. Louis Cardinals. Following this the Cards lost no time in sending him to the New York Giants. It has since been proven conclusively that it doesn't nay for a manager to win in St. Louis with the Cardinals, but at the time Rogers pulled his “boner” the thing was in a rather embryonic state, the Cardinals not having won anything for a long time. Since then Bill McKeehnie won i pennant for the Cards and was bid bye-bye and Bob O'Farrell also said farewell after not win rin'>> a pennant, so it has hecoHie difficult to ascertain just what re fMl?^’****" "4? r> fn* * ■ manager to succeed in St" Louis." However, that’s an entirely different story. Of the three pilots who have functioned in St Louis during the past three years, the Rajah did. on paper, far and away the best job. The deal which sent him from the Giants to the Boston Braves following what seemed to be a highly successful season still re mains one of those unexplained moves which arp made in haseball every so often. Manager McGraw, of the New* York club, claimed that he had made a good deal and Rogers packed up his suitcase and went into Boston, where he event ually became manager, playing the keystone hag in addition to tend ! ing his managerial duties. The Boston Braves continued to show losses, however, despite the ac quisition of the star second sacker and the Rajah’s salary was weighing down heavily on the Brave’s bankroll. As the senson waned there were rumors that Hornsby was slated for another trip. The Boston man agement cou'd use the coin that Hornsby would bring in the market and, in addition, it would be glad to slide out from under the weight of a contract which called for $40,000 a year—win, lose or draw. There were ether rumors that the deal would be held' off until after election. Boston had a chance to get Sunday hall through the voting, and with Sunday ball assured, it was thought possible kbe retained as a Boston asset The good folks put over the measure guaranteeing the Hub its Sunday games, but srarcely was the voting over when the newgy^as flashed that Hornsby had been acquired by the Cubs for cash and players. The cash 'was variously estimated at between $150,000 and $200,000. and the players were five in num ber—and their ability can be best estimated by the sire of the *ash bankroll that figured in the trans action. The Cubs needed a second base man. There are wits who say that the Cubs could readily use a couple of more good infielders but with Hornsby holding down the center sack Chicago looks capable of making trouble in the senior cir cuit next year even if no more changes arc made—and there are likely to be more changes. The blue-nosed guys are already wondering how the Rajah and Manager Joe McCarthy will hit it off together, but both are well sea soned in the game and they should team up like corned beef and cab bage. McCarthy wants to win games and Hornsby is a gertt who is constantly playing baseball and doing an excellent job of it The Cubs have a sweet chance to cop the bunting next year and this will give the Rajah an extra incentive to do his best—if an extra in centive is Reeded. And in the Rajah's case we don’t think one is needed because, pri marily, Hornsby is a ball player— and what a player! c<rmli~> K -- Syndicate In* Widely Known Newspaper .Man And Attorney Passes At Home Of Sister.

State Law May Ban Shooting Of Fireworks, Raleigh Report Says Arrest Of Three Boys For Dynamite Theft Starts Agitation * At Raleigh. Raleigh, Dec. 26—Three youths v.ho were arrested for the theft of 3,000 dynamite caps, from the Du point warehouse on the Garner road near the Raleigh city limits set in motion a chain of events | which gave Raleigh the noisiest ' Christmas it has had in a long i time, according to veterans of the : local police force, and may result in the enactment of a state-wide anti-fireworks law by the next leg islature. Such a law has long been desir ed by officials of the insurance de partment who are in charge of fire prevention; especially Fire Mar shal Sherjfood Brockweli, and, if introduced, would receive the sup port of that department. Shortly before Christmas Mr. Brockweli issued a warning against the use of fireworks in celebrating Christmas, in which he character ized venders of fireworks as "the type of men who will sell your ! child a stick of dynamite and run the risk of killing your child and burning up your home for the sake I or a few cents profit." According to the fire marshal, municipal ordin ances against the sale of fireworks were evaded all over the state by merchants who set up shop just outside the city limits.. The three youths arrested this a4ernoon, Robert and Wilbur Nor man, brothers, and Lloyd Knott, are being held on charges of house breaking and robbery. They are al leged to have stolen 3,000 dyna-1 mite, caps, in addition to 15 sticks I of dynamite, and 150 feet of fuse. The arrests were made by Captain Sanders.' of the local police force. The Raleigh police were unable to express an opinion as to whether the thieves sold the explosives or gave them to other noise makers. \ Explosions were heard in all sec* \ ticns of the city! The three thoughtless boys who have aroused an entire city to the , seriousness of the menace offered by fireworks will be given a hear ing in the Raleigh police court to- j morrow morning. None of the large1 number of persons who shot off, fireworks in violation of the Ra- | leigh city ordinance will join them' in appearing before the judge, as the police made no arrests on Christmas day.

The first snowfall of the winter here -came early Thursday morn ing and in two flurries, according I to early risers. The first flakes fell about 4 or a little earlier and It snowed again about 5 foi 15 min utes or so Due to the fact that it rained before and after the snow there was very little snow to be seen on the ground .when the ma. ■jority of the people arose. Then too, probably the trouble with those scientists might be due to the fact that they associate too much with guinea pigs.
