A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE
Miss Temple Perry zollicoffer Be-
comes the Bride Of Mr.. Carl
Ernest Morrisette

The Methodist Church was thu
scene of a wedding of more thar
usual interest Saturday evening
December Is, at 9 o'clock, the
occasion being the marriage OF
Miss Temple Perry Zollicoffer tc
Mr.. Carl Ernest Morrisette.
The decorations were most
pleasing to the eye, the church
appearing like a dream of fairy
land" No pen could do justice to
the scene, the improvised rostrum
covered in white, the background
Of evergreen and pink flowers
with tall baskets of huge pink
carnations and the soft glow of
candles, rendered the scene most
enchanting.
Before the ceremony there was
a musical recital of five or six
numbers, Mrs. w. C. Ellis, Or
ganist, and Mrs. W. A. Pierce,
pianist. Next came Mrs. r. S.
Travis, who sang in charming
style, and then followed Lohen-

Draper and G. S. Rennard.
The ladies wore white dresses
with pink scarfs and carried
lunches Of green fern.
The time appointed for the

bridal party entered. First came
the ushers, D. b. Zollicofer, Jr.,

The bridesmaids wore lovely
pink dresses and hats.
Next came the dame of honor, |
Mrs. J. b. Zollicoffer and the
maid of honor, Miss Susan Zolli-
Golfer in exquisite white dresses
of net over satin and white hats.
The bride, a picture Of girlish
beauty, came in on the arm of
her father, DR.. d. B. Zollicofer,
who gave her away. Her dress .

SOME PROPOSALS
AND

The Herald's Christmas
Shoppers Edition for 1917,
in spite of well laid plans to
the contrary, is an all home
product. The usual litho-
graphed Christmas covers
were ordered early in No
vember and shipped prompt
ly. The publication of the
edition was delayed a week
in the vain hope that they
would finally arrive, but the
mysterious Providence that
watches over the Seaboard's
short comings alone knows
in what safe repository they
now rest.
The Western Newspaper
Unions eight pages of
Christmas Features, State
and National News Service,
ostensibly left Charlotte by
express on Monday after
noon, December II. They've
gone on to join the covers,
we suppose.
So this Christmas Number
is not what we'd like to
make it. Its simply the best
we could make it with all
the resources at our COM
mand. Well strive to make
amends when the cruel war
is over and a postcard to
the Kaiser must be written
on extra grade asbestos.
With the issue as it is
goes the Sincerest Wishes
of the Herald and its staff
for a joyous Christmas
Season and a Bright and
Prosperous New Year for
every one of its subscribers
and friends.

NEW YORK, May 80. Perhaps the

Fielder Jones In the management of
major league clubs lies in the psychic Of
feet 81 certain things he mixes in with
tho regular rum of the game.
Jones more than any man In the
game knows and appreciates the fact
that baseball players are just wee bit
more prone To view the suspicious side
of a four-leaf clover or a rabbits foot
more than the average human. Tie IS
we'll aware that Eddie Collins does
funny little things with the hutton ON

knows that baseball player who pre-
tends Co any temperament at an beats

this baseball player always takos "A
drink
Jones knows those things and hc
knows the moral effect of other things
When the White SoN visited st. LOU.
this spring they made the trip with AL
vance notices pointing them out as the
American League championship. Jones
most predominant doing after the So'
had departed was To state publicly that
he believed the White SoX lacked Che

Delaware was scheduled TO play

American League Pitching
Best, THAT'S Why National
Baffers Have High Marks

The American league is getting bet
ter pitching than John Tener's cir
cult II Latting averages tell anything
about the records OF big stars.
For the first time in half a dozen
years National league batters are out
hitting the chief swatsmen on John
sons ring and the only explanation
is that National league pitching has
weakened.
There Is no reason to believe that
George Burns. Fischer, Rousch and
Griffith are better hittcrs than Speak
err. Sisler and Cobb. but the records
show they arc hitting from 80 20 so
points higher than the American
league stars.
Speaker is batting at a $50 rate,
Sisler around $3.50 and Cobb but 3l5.
Evening journal., 1917-05-30

lt may be that Speaker will not hit
more than .3l5 this year. His nine
year average is .341, but it Is hard
to suppose that Cobb will be held
below 800
There is no reason 70 suppose that
George Burns will consistently hit
around $50, for Burns has bettered
the 800 mark but once, in 1914, when
he hit 1903.
Rousch OF Cincinnati and Fischer
OF pittsburg. are both hitting better
than $3.50 and neither Of them have
been considered more than mediocre
ballplayCrs.
The only explanation Is the differ
ence I'm the pitching in the two leagues
with the odds in favor Of those of the
American league.
