First College Game Here May
Draw One Of State’s Big Crowds
Gurley's Mountain Bears To Shoot
Works Against Fast 1*. C.
Eleven.
i By RENN DRUM.)
Shelby's first college football
same may draw one of thr larg
est gridiron crowds of the year
j in this state.
That's what North Carolina
sport writers are saying about
the game here Saturday week, *
on the last day of the rounty
fair, between Fenoir-Uhyne and
Presbyterian college.
Due to I he fart that around 30.
! 000 people will likely he at the big
I fair on the rlosing day. sport writ
; rrs are estimating that n crowd of
| perhaps 10,000 will witness the fooi
! ball contest which will be staged
; m the Infield of the rare track .just
■ in front of the large grandstand.
Double Pulling Power.
The grid game, first ever for this
i section in the college class, will
| ha\" a two-fold pulling power. First
j of all. the Lcnoir-Rhyne coach,
\ Dick Gurley, was once athletic ch
: rector of the Shelby high school
i and due to his personal popularity
: will attract many to the game Ad
i ded to that is the fact that many
■ of his players come from the sre
| (ion roundabout Shelby On his
! team are boys from Kings Moun
tain. CherryviUo, I.incolnton. Maid
en. Dallas. Cliffside, and other
nearby towns. Then. too. the sec
tion north and northeast of Shelby
is well filled with Lutherans, scores
of w^oin will take advantage of
the opportunity to see the Luther
an eleven play so near their homes.
The second big pulling card Is the
fact that Shelby is located Just a
few miles from the South Carolina
border, thus making It convenient
for the South Carolina fans and
the P C. backers lo attend the
game,
Will Shoot Works.
Gurley, pessimistic as roaches are.
believes that P C will have the
ups on his eleven whep It take.,
the field. But put it down for a
surety that the eleven Gurley sends
m the field here Saturday week will
outweigh the fighting Presbyterian
crow, and It will not be such an in
experienced team at that. Another
thing adding to the psychology fa
vorable to the Mountain Bears is
that Coach Gurley showing his
team for the first time before hts
old hometown folks will sling every -
thing he has In his trick bag against
tire South Carolina eleven. P. 0.
may outwind the Lenoir-Rhyne
Bears because Gurley has no great
reserve strength, his freshmen br
ing barred in the P. C. game, but
with that knowledge at hand Coach
Johnson, of Presbyterian, may an
ticipate most anything early in the
game while ihe Lutheran roach has
j hts full strength and his brightest
' opportunity to send the pigskin
! across the goal line.
Fans Pleased.*
About Shrlbv football fans,
numbering in the hundreds. are
elated over the section's first col
lege tussle For years many of them
have been arguing that Slielbv
should have one of the big games
each fall, and now that a game
has been secured they're after
showing fair officials that attend
ance will warrant the bringing to
Shelby each fair week of a Big Five
grid game.
JACK NOONAN. BOXER.
HELD ON THEFT CHARGE
John fJack' Noonan, former jun
j ior lightweight champion of the
I Marine corps ana brother of Sally

terday near the home of Capt. Frank
Hay. aviator. No. 105 Front street.
Hempstead. L L. where he rented
a room. The arrest was made at. the
telegraphed request of Sheriff Wil
liam Traeger of Los Angeles, Cal.
According to ttie Sheriff's tele
gram, Noonan is wanted in I,os
Angeles on Two recently returned
indictments, charging burglary and
receiving stolen goods. Tod Lewis,
: the orchestra leader, was the com
plainant
Noonan, yvho described himsplf as
| a son of the late Supreme Court
I Justice- Thomas F. Noonan of New
j Jersey, emphatically denied the
I charges and seemed unconcerned
with his fate. He was locked up in

i last night, towait extradition pa

According to police. Noonan cam’
; to New York about three weeks a^o
I after robbing the home of Ted Lewis
of $10,000 in fur coats and costumes-.
; The prisoner, however, blames his
difficulties on an unnamed Holly

who he said asked him to keep the

ing. and which was found in his
‘ room.
An every-olher-day letler
from home will he sent to col

Fans Here “Worked Up” Over
Eastside-Cloth Mill Game
Saturday For City Honors
Hoth ( tubs To Throw Rost Trams
Possible In Deriding Clash
Of Series.
When the Eastside and Cleveland
Cloth mill baseball dubs take the
field here Saturday afternoon for
the third and deciding clash in flic
city title series. Shelby fans will
likely see the two best, ball clubs j
in action that they have seen in I
near a decade
And tlie event has the fans talk
ins despite tire near approach of
football weather.
I»ig Time Players.
Unless there are last-minute
changes. reixirts haVb it that j
"Snag" Ormond, who snagged the |
second game away from 1 lie cloth1
mill witli ins emory ball, will again !
do the hurling for Eastside. Just 1
; who w ill oppose him on the mound !
is problematical. There is talk that
a dark horse hurler may take the
I mound at the last minute foT the
cloth mill witli no one knowin?
1 Just who he is until the game Rets
| going. Some ot this talk has it that
; this hurler will bo Johnny Walker,
i lbe Knoxville sensation, who hurled
i that city to the South Atlantic
j league pennant. On the other hand
j there are plenty of fans, claiming
| lo know their baseball, who con
| tend that "Curly" Smith, regular
rayonite hurler. is the best pitcher
to be used in the game which is to
be “third and out." “Curly," these
folks argue, wou'd have done a ber
ter job of turning Eastside down
last Saturday than did Jinx Harris.
Other talk has it that Jim Poole,
home run king and leading hitter
of ttic Southern league, until two
tears ago first baseman for Connie
Macks Philadelphia Athletics, may
appear at first base during the
game Poole is a native North Caro
linian and with the Southern league
season ending Sunday is en route
home from Nashville.
While these reports fly thick and
fast in the biggest baseball en
thusiasm Shelby has witnessed
since the high school title clasn
there are those who remind that
last Saturday's game was muchiv
decided by none other than high
school boys. While league bats were
tailing to click at the Shelby city
park, the bats of several high school
boys like Sparks, Farris and Poston
were driving in runs. Too, any
number of fans leaving the game
were not adverse to saying that of
all the players on the field, from
major leaguers to Sally leaguers, the
smoothest bit of baseball flesh was
Cline Owens Lee, who became a
star in Class B baseball one we^k
after helping the Shelby highs win
the North Carolina crown.
It's the last baseball Saturday of
the year for Shelby—and the big
gest. If it does not rain cats and
dogs, and pitchforks Saturday aft
ernoon, look for the largest base
ball crowd at the city park in a1,
least five years.
P. C. Coach Promises Hustling
Eleven For Shelby Grid Contest
Clinton, S. C —Backed by a fin?
football tradition despite limita
tions in size, Presbyterian college
is hard at it in preparation for an
other season and the opening game
Saturday Sept. £8. at Shelby with
Lenoir-Rhync.
Walter Johnson, who for 15 years
has been turning out l'ornudabl:
football trains ai this little institu
tion is again at the helm of the
squad He refuses to be pessimistic
though he knows that with nine let
ter men missing he has a hard task
before him.
"My boys win be in there fight
ing." he said. “They always are Til
be satisfied so long as they hustle
Just so long as every now and then
we can bump off somethefty team j
we won't complain."
The Blue Stockings have the con
solation of knowing, nt least, that
the team will be slightly heavier
than last year. Blackey and Chteum
are a couple of good sized tackles
who ought to hold their own against
the best, of them. Krtchin is a de
cidely able center,
McQueen weighs but 150 pounds
but showed up great last year when
ever he was given the chance at
guard. Captain Beckman is the oth
er guard He weighs 165 pounds.
The ends will be light, Lynn
weighs no more than 140 pounds
and Bennett hardly more than 145.
Ferrine and Clinton, two other end
candidates, also are light men.
Johnson expects much of his
backfield. Jimmy Greene, the out
standing man on the team, is back
and will pilot, the outfit as quarter
back. Dick Green, no relation to
the field general, and Dunlap wi.l
probably alternate at fullback.
Ritchie and "Skeet" Gallaway like
ly will be the two starting half
backs. "Skeet" is a brother to the
celebrated "Chick "
Among the men lost who will be
sorely missed this season are Owens,
who was a great punter, passer and
all around player. Lonnie Dunlap
and Hognefe. Dunlap was the 123
quarterback.
This is the first year in many
that the Blue Stockings will begin
the season without a really great
passer. With Johnson using the
aerial attack widely this will hurt
| no little. Dunlap is being groomed
! to do the chunking and is coming
around nicely but so far lie hasn't
shown the ability of some of F. C's
marvellous passers of other seasons..
P. C will buck a strong schedule,
one of the hardest the Blue Stock
ings have ever faced. Mercer, Pur
man. South Carolina. The Citadel
and Wofford are tackled in suc
cession and at the opening of the
season. Moreover, all of the games
save two are played on foreign
fields.
Cautions Farmers
On Early Ginning
Ginning Cotton To:> Green Breaks
The Staple And Hoes Not
Get Clean Seeds.
1 notice over the county that there
are several farmers picking cotton i
and quite a few of them are gin- j
mng. I realize that the people are '
anxious to sail their cotton and do
not have any facilities for which
to keep the cotton for a while be
fore ginning As you know green
cotton is hard to clean the lint
from the seed. You will also notice
that the staple is broken when gin
ned green. You will notice there Is
a continuous growth of the lint till
the- seed are near matured. If the
cotton could be stored at some place
where it could dry out thoroughly
or partly befor&jginttiag you would
save breaking £c s^§jple and prob
ably gain in vtjjttght. Be sure and
not store too nijieft green cotton in
one place.
