STORY OF KIDNAPPING HAS
FALLEN THROUGH

Sharon, Pa, July 20.-Thomas
d. Randolph, the local business man
who was believed to have been kid
mapped on last Monday night, and
held for $4,000 ransom, arrived at
his home here at o'clock tonight.
Randolph drove his big car from
iStoneboro to the city after he is al
legged to have learned that police had
located him at hotel in that town.
Randolph's return to this city fol-
lowed startling Information obtain
ed by the police as to the whereabouts
of the missing man. A telephone
conversation between a Stoneboro
hotel and the Randolph home here
in which the person speaking from
the hotel declared there were sixteen
kidnappers holding him, is reported
to have given the police their first
real clue to his whereabouts.
A report which later reached the
police that Randolph had been seen
in Stoneboro with a woman, who had
left there on an afternoon train,
brought quick action, and several
men were at once dispatched to
StoneboFo.
Soon after the police left this city
information was received that Ran
do1ph had left Stonebore and was
driving to his home here at a high
speed.
After Randolph reached his home
the police entered and were closeted
with him.
District Attorney Rickard, who
has charge of the case, stated at a
late hour that it was doubtful if any
statement made by Randolph would
be given out tonight but that, in
any event. he would be held by the
authorities on charges to be prefer
red later.

BOY SCOUTS RETURN
FROM TRIP

Tuesday night a party of twenty
five Boy Scouts returned from a
weeks outing to Lake Waccamaw
They were under the supervision of
the Secretary of the Y. NJ. C.. A. and
acting Scoutmaster Macon williams.
In addition to taking the trip to
Lake Waccamaw they spent part of
Tuesday at Wrightsville Beach. Al
together the trip was the most sue
cessful one yet conducted for Scouts,
and it was one that will be remem-
bered for long time by those for
tunate enough to go. The boys left
Monday night, July 18th, in a special
car, reaching LakE Waccamaw early
the next morning. Sleeping quar-
ters were secured in the Waccamaw
Pavilion, which is fitted up with
army tents, and which is built imme-
diately over the lake. The boys did
liams holding the position of chief
cook. Details formed the kitchen
police brigade, and this was a job
eagerly sought after since the boys
having charge generally managed to
secure more to eat than did those
they waited upon.
: Lake Waccamaw is the one ideal
spot for an outing of this kind. The
weather there is remarkably cool due
to the breeze which constantly comes
off the lake, and it is one of teh very
few spots in North Carolina free from
mosquitoes. Every night is cool, and
even in the middle of the day there
is a good breeze. There are num-
ber of free flowing wells bordering
the lake from which flows a con-
slant stream of ice cold water.
From the standpoint Of sanitary sur
roundings, as well as from that of
opportunity for enjoyment no bet
ter location can be found.
Swimming is particularly fine there
due to the fact that the danger of
drowning is practically eliminated.
The lake is about nine miles long
by seven wide, and yet a person can
walk for more than a half mile out
in the lake before reaching water
that is over the head. 1t is fresh
water lake and the water is as clear
crystal. In addition to ideal swim
ming conditions, boating and fishing
are almost unequalled. During the
trip the boys managed to catch
enough fish for three meals, and
they were enabled 20 stay in the wa
ter as much as they desired. With
swimming, boating, training, fish
ing, and the regular scout work each
day was a full one, and every boy
came back sunburned but happy over
a most enjoyable outing.
Those taking the trip were Dick

For some time Manager Clarke
has wanted Martin on the Wilson
team, but was unable to make him
any overtures as long as he belonged
to Petersburg. Since his release Clark
has been in touch with him and sue
ceeded in landing him yesterday.
Martin is an experienced ball player
and should add much strength to
the local club. Clark is a willy old
fox in baseball and when he makes
a change he must be given credit for
knowing what he is about. He has
had Martin on teams with him in the
past and knows what type of ball
player he has secured. Martins pres
ence at second should give the team
added strength and more aggress-
iveness. His ability can hardly be
doubted.

Die. Ine only error made by the
Wilson team was on a thrown ball
which was dropped at second.
Miller and Head continue to set
the pace in the hitting department.
Miller secured three out of four.
and Head three out of five. In the
last two games Miller has secured six
safe hits, while Head has made seven.
The beauty about their performance
is that both are hitting at the right
time. Heads performances in this
particular have stood out prominent
ly in the games of late, he having the
credit of driving in more runs than
any man on the team during the last
series.
Again we want to comment that
the thing required to win a ball game
is securing more runs than the on
position. Hits are all right, and even
errors are permissible il in the final
count the run column shows us in
the lead.
In Raleigh yesterday Johnson
pitching for Swift and Co., struck
out 16 men and allowed not a single
hit during the contest. This is a
creditable performance no matter
