FANCY BARBECUE NOT
GIVEN BY F. l.. u

Editor Telegraph:
| noticed that in your last
issue you stated in regard to
the Yancy barbecue and picnic
that it was given by the Farm
Labor Union, which was a
mistake. It was given by the
citizens of the Yancy commu-
f.y regardless Of any organl-
atom whatever. Howeve-, some
who we're members of the Farm
Labor Union might have con-
tributed, but | am sure that
those who had the most to do
in getting it up are not men,
be-s of that organization.
You will please make this
correction, in justice to all
parties.

INTEREST INTENSE IN d,
ATTENDANCE CONTEST

The Sunday School atten-
dance cor test, between the
Baptist and Methodist, is ac-
complishing more than was, al
first anticipated. All former
records, so far as known, We're
broken last Sunday, and the
top attendance has probably
not been reached.
Both Schools have set a goal
for the coming Sunday and it
is believed that the desired
number will be present in the
schools Sunday morning.
The success of the contest
is a magnificent triumph for
the Su. day School workers or
the town. Lasting good viii
undoubtedly come from the
wonderful acnleVementS OF IN
ducinG $50 people to attend
Sunday School.
Some will continue to attend
Sunday School when the cor
test is over. for an enjoyable
habit of mental and moral
benefit is formed.
Last Sunday there were 255
taking actual part in the two
Sunday Schools. OF these the
Methodists had 1877; the Bap-
lists 118. The Methodist church

SPEAKING TOUR
NEARING CLOSE
Candidates For County Office
90 Speak In This City
Saturday.

The Hampstead county can
didates embarked upon the
last week Of their strenuous
speaking tour Monday morning
when they hied themselves to
Bingen to plead their cause to
the voters of that vicinity. The
heated personalities that were
used during the first of the
campaign have been passed up
by the speakers and replaced
by arguments of various kinds
that may win votes.
The Ozan date, which was
postponed from Aug. l. due
to the death of Mr.. T. A
Brown. was filled Tuesday
night. &
The candidates are rather
well worn from the long ana
arduous strain of constant
travel and speaking, but seem
cheerful and eager to finish the
campaign. A large crowd was
addressed at Blevins Wednes-
day night. Boards chapel ana
Deanyville were visited Thurs
day and Piney Grove today.
The two closing dates will be
in Washington, Saturday, the
9th and Hope, Monday, the
11th. The next day, Tuesday,
the election will be held and a
large number OF individuals
will nurse disappointment, at
the same time a few will be
glad of their success.
The sheriff's race has alb
scrbed more public interest
than all others combined. The
circuit clerks race has its
share of interest.

BULLDOGS BEAT
 FLORIDA AGAIN;
 PLAY ONE MORE
Stevens Wins Another For Howard In Game On
 Berry Field ,' ,@'s

In a game that was featured by, many errors and unusually slow fielding, the Howard Bulldogs beat the University of Florida a third consecutive time in the last week by count of Il to s. Both teams worked hard but neither of them seemed to be able to put much punch into the game and the fielders succeeded in running up total of 16 errors, II being made by the Gator nine and the other five being made by the Bulldog tossers. ....-
 Ham Stevens did the hurling for the Bulldogs and at the start it seemed as though the game would be pretty exhibition as Stevens was right and had the support of his mates during one lone inning when they, sent the Floridans back to the field without so much as even giving them chance to score. The Bulldogs came back in their part of the first and took the lead by making one run.
 After the first inning 1t was not ball game but was just foot race and battle on the part of the fielders to see which could make the most errors The Howard defense blew in the sec ond inning despite the good work of Stevens and the Ga tor team made three runs in the next two innings but could not hold the lead as the Bulldog bat ters continued to find Johnson for many hits and managed to keep the lead throughout the remainder of the game, even though Blackman took Johnson s place on the mound after the disastrous second and third innings.
 The Bulldogs and the Gators viii meet again at 8 o'clock this afternoon at Berry field. Snake Barnes will do the hurling for the local team, while Katz Is expected to be on the mound for the Florida tossers.

This scrapping little leather-pusher went into action In three classes and emerged with gold medals in all, O. Jean was the only one, except Frederick Paul, of his -op- ponents to stand up to the finish under his willing fusillade of blows. Jeane, the only entrant in Petey's own class was on his feet as the last bell rang, although he hit the floor in the second frame. Cuthrell, in the 11s-pound class, took the count as did Ed Sullivan in the 126.
 {. The final bout of the night, and the most sensational, was the meeting of Petey and Frederick Paul of Florida, student ct Boston Tech. Paul, in the 126-popnd class. has considerable poundage on Sarron and wss as clever q little scrapper as put on gloves at the club Monday night, excepting sar- ron. These two went to it,. tooth and toenail, and staged a real, he-man scrap. Both were clever in-fighters and nard-hitters for their size and many hard blows were landed during the bout. Sarron won decision but the fight was close. Paul was in on Petey during the majority of the time but Sarron hit a mighty lick often, though his opponents stood up to it and ab- sorbed . deal of punishment.

Bill Tilden Withdraws From Davis Cup Anl
 Olympic Teams

, PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-Wil- liam T. Tilden, H.. national tennis champion, today announced his resig- nation as a member of the American Davis cup and Olympic teams.
 In doing go Tilden said that as his amateur status had been questioned, he wished to relieve the Davis cup com mittee, which had named him for both teams, of any embarrassment that might arise over his position as an amateur player.
 Tilden said he will continue to play as an individual in such American tour naments as he may enter and will de- fend his title in the national champion ships next August.
 With his announcement Tilden made public a letter he sent today to Julian S. Myrick, chairman of the Davis cup committee, in which he refers to the report of the amateur rule committee made public last Saturday. q learn with astonishment." said Tilden in the letter, that the player-writer in gen. eral and I in particular, am regarded by the committee as not only no longer an amateur but as an evil influence in the game"
 The letter is as follows :. .-.-r
 From the report of the amateur rule committe of March 15, 1924, made public on Saturday last a copy of which was mailed to me, I learn with astonishment that the player-writer gen. eral. and in particular, am regarded by the committe is not only no longer an amateur, but as an evil influence in the game.
 "As my name is used in the report there can be no doubt that I am re- garded by the committee as such 'an evil influence
 Since it is inconceivable the com mitte would desire the presence on the squads for 1924 of such an evil influ- ence,' 1, although I do not for mo- ment concede either the fairness or cor fectness of the committees interpreta- ton of the amateur ysRnleS or of my standing hereunder. tender to you my resignat ation as a member of both squads.
 T do this to relieve the association of the embarrassment and save them from the criticism which will be theirs if they take the initiative in the mat ter.
 "I do not regard myself as violat- ing either the spirit or letter of the amateur rule and 1 certainly do not consider myself 'an evil influence, but your report clearly states that in the eyes of the committee I am.
 Since the executive committee has already unofficially expressed itself in favor of professionalizing me next year, should the present conditions continue they must clearly regard me as a pro- fessional now.
 T resign with regret but self-respect compels me to do so, wish you and the committee to know that my serv- ices are at your disposal when my anna teur status is clearly recognized.
 Trusting that the cup will long re- main on our shores and wishing the committee and team all success in the 1924 challenge round, I am,
 "Very sincerely,

How should base runner touch first base when he intends to NO on for extra bases?
 Answered by FRANK FRIsCH
 Second baseman. New York Giants. Ills timely hitting has made him known as ''the game wreeker." Best second saeker In the National league.
 It stands to reason that in such a case the runner should use up the least possi- ble time. For that reason a special way of touching the base to save time has effectively. This Is probably the fastest way of getting around first base that a ball player can use. There is no lost mo- tion in it and there Is nothing difficult about its execution.
