.DALHART LOSES TO
CLAYTON, l2 TO 0

Yesterday afternoon we turned out
en- masse to again witness, a walk
over and shutout by the Clayton
High School eleven, and this time
Dalhart was the victim, in what was
undoubtedly the fastest game of the
season. We were accorded the priv
ilege of being on the field during
the entire game, and we frankly say
that the Clayton team had a hard
pull during the entire time TO keep
the visitors from scoring.
Dalhart has a line that is hard TO
beat and on line plunges frequently
led their man for 5 and 10 yards.
In the first half neither side was
able to score and il was only by the
most persistent tackling and block
ing that our men held. Several times
it looked as tho either side was
scheduled for a touchdown, but
quick action and team work was
responsible for the score being 90
at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter Coble in
tercepted a pass which Dalhart at
tempted and made a run of about
35 yards thru an open field for the
first touchdown. Clayton missed
goal and from then on the game
assumed the giVP and take aspect,
which lasted until the end of the
first half. Dalhart 0. Clayton 6.
Third quarter, Clayton kicked and
Dalhart fumbled Clayton covered
the hall and tried hard to score. Dali
hart received the ball by Clayton
failing to gain and Dalhart went for
gain after gain on line plunges and
as every fan knows that is the hard
est kind of football. Dalhart at
tempted to pass and Clayton inter
eepted and ran several yards for a
gain which finally Coble again made
off for touchdown; after a splendid
run thru a broken field.
Walter Selvy on quarter for Clay
ton, was largely responsible for
Clayton being able to gain repeat
cdly. and he at all times called his
men for the most successful play at
the crucial moment Aytes might
he said TO be the outstanding man
for Clayton. Playing center, he was
sure with the ball to perfection and
never afime did Clayton fail to gain
because of inaccurate passing Also
on line plungcs he was repeatedly
called back for plunges and never
failed to gain.
Luian and Davis on ends complet-
ed several forward passes, but were
unable to gain from receiving point
on account of Dalharts quick and
accurate tackIing
Davis was called out in the second
quarter, with a bad ankle, but went
back in The latter part of the game
and starred by completing a 35-yard
pass and making an end run for 40
yards.
Holt replaced Richie at quarter
I for Dalhart, and played a fine game
all thru.
The stars fm Dalharl were Wig
gins on fullhaek, Ridling on left
half, and Holt on quarter

Mary Miles Minter in Don't Call Me
Little Grip Gives Delightful
Performance

Some years ago a delectable play
of youthful romance appeared in
New York under the name of Jerry" !"
Its bubbling and effevescent humor
made it an immediate triumph. Like
so many other things Of the drama
"Jerry" has been made into motion
picture-and under the new title of
Don't Call Me Little Grip it will be
at the opera house Friday.
Don't Call Ne Little Girl'' is a
Mary Miles Minter production for
Realart and the audience will find the
young star wonderfully well cast in
the role of Jerry" the incorrigible
tom-boy whose juggling of the three
romances, her own, her aunt's and
her mothers, forms7a delicious hodge
podge Of thoroughly enjoyable fun.
The star is supported by an unusu-
al cast. Playing the lead role of
Monty in manner reminiscent Of the
parts best traditions is Jerome Pat
rick, the good looking leading man,
who has appeared so successfully in
recent motion pictures, notably, "The
Furnace" and "Her First Elope-
ment"
AS, Aunt Joan, who has grown to
be an old maid far too soon, Ruth
Stonehouse shows the same cleyerness
which has brought her such fame in
the past. Edward Flanagan of the
well-known vaudeville team Of Flan-
agan and Edwards, gets splendid
laughs from the role of Peter, the
safety first" lover.
:. The continuity of Don't Call Me

the direction has all that quick sense

Standing by the Old Leaders

Greenwood Index-J Journal, July 25.,
Statements in the Index-Journal
both editorially and through the news
columns, that the news" coming out
of Washington for the past several
weeks to the effect that 'sonce prom
inent Democrat" would be seated at
the head of the republican pie table in
South Carolina was pure political
bunk are borne out in the dispatch
below from Hugh w. Roberts, Wash
ington correspondent of the Colum-
bia State, under date of Saturday.
Several Washington correspondents,
not to mention a few political repor-
tiers in South Carolina, were absolute
ly sure that John L. McLaurin, who
spent months-in Washington nobnob-
bing with republican leaders, would be
the dispenser of patronage, but Joe
w. Tolbert was there also.
Here is Mr.. Roberts dispatch to the
State:
j. w. Tolbert holds the destiny of
South Carolina in the palm of his
hand. The postoffice department de-
clares today that it will not proceed
without the Endorsement of Mr.. Tol-
bert.
Thus explodes the bombs of John
Z. McLaurin and others. The master
of the situation is Tolbert.
Senators Smith and Dial, whom the
democrats named, are powerless in
comparison with Tolbert. The master
of destiny is Tolbert.
Some time ago the postoffice 'e
partment asked the members of con-
gress from South Carolina regarding
the elevation of fourth class postmas-
ters to third class postmasters.
There was the implied suggestion
that the members of congress would
have something to do with it. When
the members of congress took up with
the postofice department today the
matter of a promotion to fourth class
to third class postmasters, the post
Office department was frank in its ad-
mission that the members of congress
had nothing to do with the situation.
Very frankly, it was stated to the
South Carolina congressman, that IN
all cases reference was made to Mr..
Tolbert and that if he gave his 0. X.
20 existing postmasters of the fourth
class they would be promoted, but If
he filed objections to any fourth class
postmaster, the postoffice department
would order an examination,
