Hoodoo Playing Drops Game
For Highs To Gaston Team
With Game "Sow n I'p" Four Errors i
In Eighth And Ninth
Eose It.
—
The hoodoo which has been trail- j
in« the Shelby high baseball team j
for several games worked its charm
again Wednesday in Gastonia with
, the locals going down 4 to 3 after
Gastonia scored four runs in the
I eighth and ninth innings.
Early in the week at Forest City
Sherrill Hamrick pitched a three
hit game, and only five Forest City
players readied first base, but one
of Hie five smacked the ball over
the fence for a run and Shelby
| lost. Then at Gastonia Wednesday
| the loculs had the game packed
away on ice only to lose it in a
scries of blunders in the nnai min
utes. Today the local outfit goes
Into the state championship race
and it is the hope of fans that the
hoodoo has run its course.
Moore Pitches Good.
"I.efty" Moore started the game
for Shelby at Gastonia Wednesday
and at the end of the seventh
frame lie gate up only a single hit
and Gastonia was scoreless. Mean
time slashing lilts by Gold and
Harrelson and a sacrifice by Lee
had turned in three runs for Shel
by. So it was at the last half of the
eight timing -Shelby 3, Gastonia 0,
and Marshal Moore had been lilt
only once At that point things
began to happen. The first Gastonia
hitter sent up a fly to Hippy and
was out. Moore walked the next
batter, and Coach Morris promptly
yanked the portsider lor Hamrick.
The runner on first attempted to
steal second. Farris threw wild and
the runner moved on to third
Then Hamrick forced the next bat
ter to fly out. and two were out
with a runner on third. Two hits
followed and two runs were scored
That, was the end of the scoring
until the last half of the ninth
with Shelby still leading, 3-2 The
|first Gastonia hitter up walked and
stole second. and the next was
sate at. first and the runner on scor
ed when Gold bobbled a- close in
roller. That tied the score and then
the runner cn the paths scored on
a j ingle which Rtppy permitted to
get away from him in left field
And that was a ball game, 4-3.

American Housewife
Wins Hubby’s Heart
By Hitting ‘Tummy’
Washington.—The modern Ameri
can housewife has reached her hus
band's heart—if the route lies
through his stomach.
The bureau of economic research,
after a year's survey, today ‘‘com
mended in high terms the table the
American housewife sets before her
family.''
“Never before,'■ the report de
clared, “was it so aesthetically at
tractive, never more varied, never
more palatable/' The investigation
was made on behalf of the commit
tee on recent economic changes of
the unemployment conference, of
which President Hoover is chair
man.

Teacher Asked To
Sponsor Smoking
Letters Come Asking Teacher To
Write Insurance, Sell Mer
chandise.
To Editor of The Star:
This Is a wonderful age in which
we are living: an age when oppor
tunity raps at one's door, not one
time and then leaves the individual
alone for the rest of his life, but
Just seems to linger about tlw door
eager for admittance any old time.
But why pick on the school
teacher?
A few days ago tlie writer had a
letter from a well Known insurance
agency stating that, In view of the
fact that many teachers would
probably have their salaries cut
this year, it might be a good time
to quit the school room and try the
Insurance game. Well, that was not
so bad. More recently he has had
letters inviting him to take up
Chlropracty; to attend a business
College; to prepare for a Civil
Service Examination, and many
other things, but today, he received
an offer that makes all the others
look like small potatoes. . . . And
It is . . For the purpose of advertis
ing our brands of Cigars," (Naming
the brands) "We have arranged to
secure a supply of high-grade base
balls which we are going to almost
give away . . . just 29 bands taken
from nny of the above cigars and 29
cents in cash. . . Just for a little
friendly co-operation. . We are
sending you several poster cards
for display about your school and
j will greatly appreciate your having
these placed where they may be
seen by your students" etc.
Now, gentle reader, wiiat would
you do if you were a school teacher?
Suppose you had been waging war
on these very things for many
years, would you fall for this of
fer? Well, it might not be so bad
ly out of line with some other great
■ falls" since old man Adam took
such a tumble.
Only a few years ago, a member
o' the N. C. legislature presented a
bill "to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of cigarettes in North
Carolina." It is rumored that this
man never returned home, but land
rd in a padded cell on Dt:< Hill and
has been there ever since.
only a lew clays ago, a certain
well-known church denomination
that functions only slightly in N. C.
declared itself as opposed to the
use of tobacco. We will look on
with interest to see if the millions
continue to come into its treasury.
Can it be possible after all these
years, we are still making bargains
similar to the one Esau made so
many years ago. and for which he
has been so severely critcized? Has
the time arrived when we must
wink at the things we know are
wrong. Shall we teach our boys
that well known maxim, "reach for
a Lucky instead of a sweet.'?
