TWO DIE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Railroads Washed Out-N0rth Carolina
Towns Isolated.

RAILROADS WaSneu Out-NOftn CarOHna
Towns Isolated.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., September 10
R.-Passing on into the Virginia Cape
country, the hurricane that yesterday
held the eastern section of the Caro-
linas in its grip today had left behind
a toll of two deaths and a mass of
tangled communication wires and un-
estimated and unchecked damage to
railroads and highways.
Aside from the severance of commu-
nication lines to a number of points
and retarding railroad and highway
travel, the storm appeared to have done
comparatively little damage. Torrential
rains accompanied 1t near the center
of the disturbance, with heavy to light
rains as far as $50 miles inland.
Two deaths occurred in South Caro-
lima when a Northwestern Railroad
mixed train was wrecked near Sumter,
S. C. The engineer and fireman were
buried in the mud and water Of wash
out when the locomotive overturned.
In North Carolina, Wilson. Henderson
and Raleigh were cut off this morning.
A wire worked into Raleigh for short
time. Reports from that point were
that there was no storm damage in the
city other points in the eastern part
of the State were reported isolated, with
highways flooded and extremely high
tides at seacoast points.

Are Then Disqualified In Match,
Seeking Legal Redress

Philadelphia, Aug. R,-Robert
Ball of Chicago and Elmer Stout OF
Newark, Negroes. who were dis
qualified in the national public links
golf championship after they had
qualified, planned to seek the aid OF
the courts today to compel the pub
lie links governors to reinstate them
and permit them to play for the
title.
After they had been ruled out
yesterday for alleged isfractions OF
the rules the they took the matter
TO a Negro attorney and it was said
that an injunction would be asked
to stop the tournament unless they
were reinstated.
There were some protests Tuesday
when Ball and Stout applied for en-
trance into the tournament. Both
carried certificates from their home
cities. An executive meeting was
held and it was decided to accept
their entries.
When both qualified yesterday
there was another conference be-
hind closed doors and both were dis
qualified from further play. OIL
Gals said the race question did not
enter into the case, declaring Ball
was dropped for alleged violation OF
rule 8. which covers the method of
dropping the golf ball after a penal
~ infliction Stout was disqualified
on the ground that he had taken
seven strokes on the fifth hole and
turned in a card of six.

With a winning streak of eight
consecutive games to its credis, the
Falcon baseball team this Sunday
will take on one of it's most danger
Gus opponents when it meets the
Highwood Italian American club OF
New Haven in the regular Sunday
afternoon attraction slated for st.
Mary's field.
The visitors come here with the
championship of New Haven for
1927 under their belts and they are
very confident that they will dump
the Falcons for the first time in
many weeks. With the visiting team
will be number OF the stars of New
Haven's baseball world. Callendrella
the left fielder is the leading player
in the New Haven Industrial league
this year while Richards has the
title of being the best twirler in the
circuit. Doherty. the captain. is a
former college man and also a for
mer Hartford Eastern Lacquer Shaw
and Graves are college stars while
Doley, Carlo and Richards starred
for prep schools.
The team is not in the New Haven
league this year because it has been
seeking larger worlds to conquer.
Being absolutely above the class of
the teams in the league last year,
The outfit has found it necessary to
meet state teams in competition. An
idea of its strength may be gained
by knowing that the league included
the Hudsons. N. H. Boys club ALL
Wallingfords and others.
The visitors will line up as fol-
lows: Callendrella II. Verlardi CT,
Doley RI. Stefano 3b. Doherty SIS,
Shaw 2b. Eddy 1b. DESCRIBE and
Carlo C. and Graves and Richards ..
I The Falcons will use Lefty" At
wood In the box and he will en-
deavor to turn in his ninth straight
win. He is in great shape this
week and fans who plan to attend
the game should be treated to a
real pitchers battle. The rest of
the line up will be the same as it
has been.
The game will start promptly at
8 o'clock.

KENS|NGT0NS TO
PLAY MANCHESTER
Southenders Invade Silk Town
Tomorrow, at Home Sunday

kenslngton and Manchester will
hook up this weekend in twin
bill of baseball games in the Con-
necticut State league. kensington
will travel to Manchester Friday
night while Manchester will be In
kensington Sunday afternoon.
Judging from the rivalry being
displayed between these two clubs.
these two sessions should be hot
ones. kensington has been coming
along at fast pace while Manches-
ter has been fighting to regain its
position at the top of the league.
Though both outfits are not near
the top at present, they both have a
fighting chance to get there and this
will mean plenty OF excitement
when they clash in the coming two
battles
Manchester has a classy aggrega-
ton that has made all the teams in
the league step at its fastest pace.
Fisher who pitched for the Falcon
club last year, is one Of the twirlng
mainstays of the team and he will
probably draw one Of the assign
ments either Friday or Sunday.
Kensington will use West. former
college star in one game. while the
pitcher for the other contest has
not yet been announced. Walter
Berg left the team after last SUM-
day and the Kensington manage
ment is hard put to it to find an
other capable twirler. Eddie Moore
has line on an excellent performer
and he expects to sew him up to a
contract before Sunday.
The game in Kensington Sunday
afternoon will start promptly at
O'Clock and there should be one OF
the largest crowds of the season on
hand to watch the two teams In
action. Manchester always draws
we'll in the Paper Goods town and
Sunday should prove to be on excep-
ton.

P. E. u Corbins and Fafnirs will
meet tonight at Walnut Hill park
in the feature game scheduled in
the Industrial league. The Corbin
team defeated Russell & Erwin last
night and still retained its place in
the standing just one game behind
the Stanley Works and 1t will have
to be on its toes to keep up this
mark. The second game will bring
the Stanley Rule g. Level and Russ
win teams into action.
RussWin- COrbin
After having the game apparently
tucked safely away for the first five
innings, the Russell & Erwin base
ball team proceeded to throw and
kick it away to the P. e. +. Corbin
nine in postponed game staged
last night and the former cham
pions romped home a winner by a
IS to score.
Johnson's wildness in the late
stages of the game wherein he walk
ed six men and errors by his mates
in the crashing innings, the seventh
and eighth, turned a good battle into
a rout of the Russwin forces. Up to
the seventh, Johnson was the crafty
moundsman allowing only five scat
tered hits Then he blew up. He
couldn't find the plate and when he
did find it, his team mates booted
the ball or committed misplays that
started to give the Corbin team the
game.
An idea of the relative merits of
the teams last night may be CLEANED
from the fact that the Russwins, the
losers. collected IS hits off Jaglowski
while the Corbin team got only
eight. OF these bingles seven were
doubles and five of them were hit
out by the r. & f. players. Another
was triple by Noonan while Harry
Mills pasted one over the center
field barrier for circuit trip with
the bases loaded.
Corbins scored one in the first
inning to start the ball rolling. The
first and second innings but not until
the third was the team able to dent
the scoring column. Then a single,
double and another single scored
two. Two more came in in the fourth
on double. single, an error and
a fielder's choice. Still another was
scored in the fifth on Noonan's triple
and single by Schneider. One more
RussWin run was scored in the
seventh on doubles by st. Budnick
and Noonan.
johnson held the Corbin battene
eating out of his hand until the
| sixth. Wright and Jagloski led this
frame off with singles. Both runners
| advanced base on a wild pitch. One
run came in on Jasper's sacrifice fly
and the other when a roller went
through s. Budnick.
The seventh was Johnson's be-
ginning OF the end. He hit Patrus.
"Starhead" Budnick threw wildly to
first to get Bates. Heinzmann
singled. Wright walked and Lipka
received pass. Three runs came in
and the ccore was tied.
Then the eighth dawned and what
an awakening for the Russwins. The
first man was an easy out. Patrua
walked. Bates rolled to Lucian Bud
nick who tossed to second getting
Patrus and paving the way for an
easy double play. Procko threw bad.

CARDS BEATEN BY
BURRI77 outfit
Five Run Barrass in Second
Inning Settles Outcome

A five run barrage in the second
inning, gave the Burritts its second
win of the season at the expense OF
the Cardinals in postponed City
League game at Willow Brook park
last night. The winners did no fur
Their scoring and Umpire Sautter
called the game in the sixth inning
on account of darkness with the
Burritts holding q to / advantage.
Massey, who drew the hurting as
signment for the Cardinals, pitched
a creditable game but a disastrous
second inning when the Burritt
stickens batted around proved his
downfall. The little lefthander got
through the first inning with ease
but Bucheri started him on his
downfall by getting free ticket.
S. Bunick sent his team mate along
to the second bag by means of a
pretty sacrifice. P. Roses crashing
single along the right field foul line
followed by Kopec's two base fly
into right center sent two runs
across the plate. The latter scored on
was safe when Milewski mussed up
his grounder, KAMA scoring on the
play. Budnick came home with the
final tally as Osborne threw wildly
on Luty's roller.
KAMA and J. Rose divided pitch
ing honors for the winners. The
former started the game and held
the Cardinals at bay for the three
sessions he worked. He was touched
for two singles. Rose took up the
burden in the fourth and held the
opposing batsman without hit. The
Cardinals scored their lone tally off
him, however. when P. Rose drop
ped Surko's long fly with two out in
the fifth inning after Massey had
gotten a life on s. Budnick's error.
! Erickson was forced to assume
the catching role last night as the
regular Cardinal backstop was
among the missing. He played a
brilliant game behind the plate and
showed a deadly whip to the gases.
He nipped two incautious Burritt
players who attempted to pilfer
second base. P. Rose led the attack
of the winners, getting a pair of
singles in two Official trips to the
plate. Kopec got pretty double to
right center in the second inning.
Selma and Gill were the only bat
tiers on the losing team that were
able to connect safely.
