President James Brewster Of the
Seattle baseball club IL . very
happy man. Why: Well. y'see the
Seattle club IL very deep In the
cellar. but there Is one team that
Seattle has something" on. And
that team Is Oakland. No matter
how hard the Oaks play In tho
South when they meet the locals
In their last seven games Of the
seasons series, Seattle has won
the edge already on the games for
the year with the Acorns. Seattle
took four out Of six games from
the Oaks the first time they met
and annexed six out Of seven from
the Howard crew In Oakland. and
they just completed another spank
ing Of the Acorns by to 2
count. This makes Seattle's total
read Is games TO five for the
Southrners. James surely has n
right to be happy.

DISORDER ATWAYNESBORo
knupp's Garage Dynamited-A
WatchMan Shot.

The strike situation i'm Waynes-
bOro is growing more desperate and
if sufficient force is not put into
effect at once to subdue the laWless
element, it is feared that life and
property will be imperiled.
The strikers are resorting to more
desperate deeds. At 230 O'Clock
Sunday morning the auto and garage
belonging Ito Arthur Knupp, one of the
officials at the Lands Tool Company,
was dynaI1ited. The auto was bad
ly damaged and the building almost
wrecked by the blast, the roof and
weatherboarding being raised an inch
from the rafters and the weather
boarding from the crossbeams.
Ernest Kaufman, a watchman at
the Landis Tool Company, was shot
in the leg while on his way to work.
He was crossing the baseball grounds
in the Emerson Birmingham lot
when fired on from ambush He re-
turned the fire in the direction from
whence the bullet came, but is not
sure whether his bullets went wild
or not
An agreement was reached Sunday
evening between the strikers and
representatives of the seven shops
affected for truce of 4S hours, and
it is hoped that during that time
negotiations will result in settle
ment of the difficulties.
