president of the chamber of
commerce and Noah Hollowell its
secretary.
Mr.. Strong, a retired mining
magnate, moved to Henderson
vile few years ago and now
devotes his time to the promo
ton of the city. This he does
from innate interest, refusing
any offers of remuneration. At
this time in addition to his .du-
ties as president, he is acting
secretary in the place of Mr..
Hollowell, who has been loaned
to the CWA to. direct it's admin
lstration in Henderson county.
Mr.. Hollowell is an ex-news-
paper man, having been on the
editorial staff of The Asheville
Citizen. and publisher of The
Hendersonville News until it's
consolidation with The Hender-
sonville Times in 1927.
The chamber of commerce led
by these men and a capable dir
ectortate is setting a pace that
other cities would do well to
follow. Beside the mercantile
and other establishments, its
membership contains rs Hender-
sonville hotels, telling far better
than words of what the tourist
thinks of Hendersonville.
The Skyland Hotel, at which
the Augusta contingent of visi-
tors were quartered is one of
the best commercial hotels in
the south, perfect in its appoint
ments and cruisine. and manned
by a courteous and hospitable
force.
Hendersonville has two strong
and wide-awake civic clubs-Ki-
wants and Rotary-that are do
ing much in the way of advanc-
ing the interests of their city.
Hendersonville has daily
newspaper, of which J. T. Fain
is editor, and C. M. Ogle, is
managing editor. These men
extended every courtesy to the
visiting scribes. In fact. moth
ing was lacking, and next year
the Hendersonville Chamber of
Commerce will not be forced to
send out invitations, but will
find it necessary to use the "big
stick" to prevent the newspapers
of the Southeast being under
manned when the time for the
next tour arrives.-The Augusta
Herald.

The invitational tour of the
scenic points of Western North
Carolina, sponsored last week by
the Hendersonville Chamber of
Commerce, afforded newspaper
Representatives of the southeast
the opportunity of viewing this
world-renowned resort section at
the height of its picturesque
beauty.
Invited by the Hendersonville
Chamber of Commerce, through
Milo w. Strong, president. to be
the guests of the city. the visi-
tors spent five days touring the
old estates about Hendersonville
and other points such as Bat
Cave. Chimney Rock, Lake Lure,
High Hampton, Pisgah National
Forest, Highlands and the Great
Smokes National Park.
The origin of the old homes in
the vicinity of Hendersonville is
an item of interest, especially to
lowlanders. Henderson county
was first discovered as a vaca-
ton spot by a party of wealthy
Charlestonians more than humid
red years ago while travelling
through the country over the
their rough trails. A leader of
the party was so entranced by
the climate and surroundings that
he settled in what is now the
Flat Rock section and sent to
Charleston and other points in
the lowlands for his friends.
Gradually this colony grew I'M
til many summer residences were
built in this vicinity.
Among the homes, built by
these Charlestonians that are
now standing and still occupied
by the descendants of the origi.
nal settlers, is the Seigling house,
built by Count De Choiseul, a
French nobleman.
Atop the mountain which is
Laurel Park stands the now fam
Gus unfinished Fleetwood hotel,

because it has never lived, but
which, nevertheless is visited by

BY THEON WRIGHT
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 16. Detroit IS
marathon winning 'streak-14 games
long-was at an end today.
The New York Yankees super
vised the operation, breaking off
the long chain which began on the
last day of July, when Tommy
Bridges closed out a double head
er by beating Cleveland. Az. 1t
was Mr.. Bridges, oddly enough,
who was victimized in yesterday s
ceremonies.
Although the Yankee win pared
down Detroit IS lead a full game,
it still leaves the Yankees tagging
by five and a half games, which
is nothing for the New Workers to
cheer about at this stage of the
race.
Frank Crosetti IS home run into
the left field benches in the second,
sending Lazzeri over the rubber
ahead of him, gave the Yanks
enough runs to win, 80.
Boston continued it's steady
climb, Rube Walberg turning back
the ST. Louis Browns to place the
Red Sox within game of third
place. He gave only five hits and
won, 60.
The Athletics won twice over
Chicago, Jimmy Foxx's s 9th home
run with two aboard won the first,
IA. Bill Dietrich doled out seven
hits in the nightcap to win, 81,
Dib Williams scoring both athletic
runs.
Cleveland and Washington were
washed out.
The leading New York Giants
split a double header with the Pr
ates, winning the first 5-4 and
dropping the second 4-3. Manager
Bill Terry smacked four-play
wallop in the fourth that won the
opener. Arky Vaughan's homer
and Gus Suhr's single, scoring
Lindstorm, kept the Pirates ahead
in the late game.
Brooklyn split with Cincinnati
losing the first rs and winning
the second game IA. Ralph Boyle
broke up the nightcap, doubling
Johnny Babich home to end a
four-all tie.
The Chicago Cubs, rained out
with Boston, stayed four games be-
hind the leader. st. Louis and
Philadelphia were also rained out

SLAUGHTERED
BY FAT BOYS

Staging q batting attack which
netted seven runs in the opening
inning, the Fat Boys added a like
number Of counters in succeeding
frames to win their game from the
Studebakers at Wilson field last
night. The final score was "a to
3 and with the defeat the Stude-
bakers. winners of the first round
championship, took firmer hold
on the cellar championship for
this round with every indication
that they intend to remain there.
Bob Fowler had the Indian sign
on the Mechanics and when his
teammates started Walloping the
ball to all corners of the lot in the
first frame, the outcome of the
game was never in doubt 1t was
the Fat Boys big night and they
took every advantage of the op-
portunity given them.
With last night IS game, the final
for this week, there remain but
four more weeks OF competition in
the league. At present the Coca
Colas and Cramer Bakers are tied
for top honors in the league rat
ings for this half and will probably
have to fight it out in an extra
game for the right to meet the
Studebakers in the final playoff.
Next Monday night the Bakers
will play Cox Brothers, q game
which will bring the two fast ball
artists, Hurst and Lyan Stewart,
together. On Tuesday night the
Coca Colas and Fat Boys will be
seen in action against each other
