our BIG POPULARITY CONTEST CLOSES.
The Ladies' did Good Work and Quite
Nsnhsr Of New Names Were Received.
The CAROLINA WAToHMAN-
RECORD Popularity Contest
closed Monday evening at
2 p. M, as per announcement,
OF course on the last day and
up to the last minute there
was a rush to get in subscrip~
lions and votes. The cons
test had practically narrowed
down to three, Miss Ida Fes>
perman, No. 2 Salisbury;
Miss Electa Jingle, Crescent;
Miss Pearle Wiley, Salisbury;
who put up a beautiful, good
natured fight, and it was not
possible to say just who the
winners would be until the
gentlemen, who kindly con-
sented to count the votes,
announced the result.
Miss Lingle took the lead
early and held it until the
last bonus offer Of 5000
votes was made, when she
lost to Miss Fesperman, who
alone took advantage of it.
Miss Fesperman having taken
the lead held it until the
finish, with Miss Lingle
second and Miss Wiley third;
the difference in the vote be-
tween the two latter, how>
ever, was small and Miss
Wiley, besides being a most
charming young lady, prov-
ed a game looser. Owing to
this close vote we regret that
there we're not three prizes,
one for each of the splendid
young ladies who showed 30
much enterprise and ability
in the work they had under
taken.
The disinterested gentle>
men who counted the votes
made the following report:
The vote Of The Carolina
Watchman-R e d Popu-
larity Contest is as follows:
Miss Ida F~esperman,
received 267, $50 votes.
Miss, Electa Lingle,
received 1853, 700 votes.
Miss Pearle Wiley,
received 1854, 300 votes.
We the committee selected to
count the votes declare the
above correct. We found
the contest practically be-
tween the three above named.

Agreeably with the above
it was announced that Miss
Fesperman had won the first
prize, the handsome piano,
and Miss Lingle, the second

suite.

these new friends we extend
a cordial welcome.

OF T. J.LYNCH
COSTS J0HNSTONE'S JOB

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-There is sure to
be vacancy in the lineup of the Ma
tlonal league umpireS now that President
Lynch has been re elected. Jim tombstone
declares he will not umpire in any league
with which Lynch is connected
The blow-off came when Fogel, in his
controversy with Lynch, submitted a let
ter from tombstone, in which the UNI
pire scored Lynch. Fogel sent for John
stone, but the umpire would not attend
the investigation of the Philadelphians
case unless ordered to by the league, and
intimated that he disliked Lynch so much
that he did not want to be in the same
room with him
II have been treated shamefully by
Lynch" said the umpire, in discussing his
case. There are some umpires who are
breaking in the league now who are get
ting much more money than l am ! have
put in long time as an umpire. and do
not make enough now to keep my family.
"As for Lynch, and myself not being
on good terms, there is no doubt about
that. In fact, if Lynch were president
of the United States l would move out
of the country. Now,s that is how we
stand

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. 13.-Ad
Wolgast, recently defeated lightweight
champion, and his manager, Tom Jones,
lost nearly $4,000 on the Flynn Nc
Carly fight, and the former champion
told his friends today ,he never would
bet another penny on a fight.
Wolgast and Jones made several
trips to McCarty's training quarters
before the day of the fight to see Nc
Carty's workouts, and on each occasion
the young Missourian seemed to box
very carelessly.
Wolgast gave out statement before
the first that McCarty did not even
know how to hold his hands, and pre-
dicted an easy victory for Flynn

TIGER CHIEF
DE TROIT, MICH, Dec. Ia.
President Navin said that
he would not grant Ty Cobb

DETRoIT, MICH, Dec. Ia.
President Navin said that
he would not grant Ty Cobb
and Sam Crawford the advances in
salary they demanded if they both
quit baseball.
For three or four years 1t has
been said in certain quarters that
Cobb and Crawford were all there
was to the Detroit team" he said.
THAT if they were taken out of the
lineup the Tigers would be a
chronic second division team. Well,
they were not taken out of the line
up last season, and the Tigers were
a chronic second division team, fin
ishing sixth So that theory is dis
proved And now they are both
asking for big raises. When ball
player gets more than $4,000 he has
passed the limit of his worth as a
ball player, and is drawing the ex-
IRA money Tor some quality Wnlcn
brings it back at the gate.
Cobb undoubtedly has a lot of
the spectacular stuff that draws the
money. But he didn't draw it at
home last year. On our last home
stand 500 was a fair crowd, and
1000 was a hummer. So you see it
isn't Cobb and Crawford alone who
draw the money. but the fact that
the Tigers win games. When they
don't win people stay away.
Before a baseball club pays out
big money in salaries, it is neces-
sary to take it in at the gate. We
won't pay Cobb and Crawford what
they ask, simply because we can't.
Baseball is a business and we must
conduct it in a businesslike man
ner."

Taylor is a big fellow and fast
enough to play anywhere. There
is no telling just where he will fill
in next fall, except that he is sure
to be on the team. Wynne, whose
brother played with Auburn in
1908 and who has played tackle at
West Point for two years. will make

because it was the first losing
game with an S. I. A. A. team dur

The same is true of the-others. but

Auburn's Material MADE"
Looking over what may be left
of the varsity and the years scrub
team, good idea may be had of
what will be available for next
year. Auburn never gets any stars
from preparatory schools or any
where else, so the teams have to be
made of whole cloth. There is one
consolation in this, III rnat there
is never any disappointment over
the appearance of any ready
to-use football material.

back field and as there are a num-
