Before leaving Charleston Biting

Earl on another team two Frank
received offers from three clubs. Just
what he did is not known, but he ac-

was too much for Statesvilie. and II
asserted 1t ought to have Biting. as
he had accepted its terms. Lenoir said
no. As Gastonia was not playing Lo-

see what Statesville would do.

Last week statesville and Lenoir
were to meet on the Statesville dia-

said that IL would not play with Bit

Lenoir manager politely informed the
Statesville management that there
would be no game without Mr.. Biting.
The result was that no game was play
