that frame the Yankees scored
three runs, and completed their
total of four runs. Weaver al.
lowed nine hits in all, good for
IL bases. He gave five bases on
balls and ate the wormwood of
his profligacy when two of them
were converted into runs that
helped to beat him.
Monte Pearson was in his best
form, allowing half a dozen hits.
Had it not been for the cunning
strategy of Lewis and Kuhel il the
seventh, it is readily conceivable
that the Griffs would have scored
just one run against the erstwhile
Indian. Only in the sixth inning
did the GriffS make more than one
hit to the frame-or in some
frames.
Nifty Catch
Simmons made a nifty catch
on Frank Crosetti, and Stone
handled smashes by Gehrig and
Lazzeri. The last named tried
valiantly to hit to right in the
eighth inning, but got nothing
more than the direction right.
Crosetti and Lazzeri teamed in
a brilliant play at second when
Lewis bid for a single was con-
verified into force play on Chap
man at second base. Hogan was
robbed of double by Selkirk's
grand running catch.
Bucky Harris is looking for the
foot of a newt, or the wing of a
gnat to break the hoodoo. Buddy
Myer is down again with a stiff
neck, and he may not be able to
play for days. Travis is in the
hospital, and the infield combiua-
ton is broken up. This Western
trip should be a honey unless the
pitchers return to their form Of
the grape fruit league. And right
now they show little indication
Of any such change.

- Griffin To Stay. IA
Governor Hoeys did not make anv
recommendations with regard to the
selection of an executive secretary
but the fact that he made no sugges-
ton with regard to this post is re-
garded as an Indication that Lloyd
Griffin will be reelected by the com

those in a position to know indicate
that the governor has let it be known
that he wants GriffinS retained as
executive secretary even though he
made no public announcement to that
effect
In a brief statement accompanying
the list of new appointments and re-
appointments, Governor Hoey said
that Commissioner. Spruill, of Rocky
Mount, had indicated a desire to re-
tire from the commission, due to the
recent appointment of Judge M. v.

Supreme Court, and of Walter Bone.

Early this week, this correspon-

secretary
The belief has been prevalent for a
number of weeks, in fact ever since
the appointment of Judge Barnhill to
the Supreme Court, that Spruill would
be dropped from the school commits
sion and a new member named from
the fourth district. 1t has also been
believed that a terrific under-cover

ANSWERS


1. His first term from the old tenth
gress. After serving the entire term,
up to the last day, he was unseated
in a contest brought by j. J. Britt,
Republican. Congressman Weaver
won the next five terms and then lost
to George Moore Pritchard in the
election to the Seventy-first congress
by a majority of 49, He has won the
last four elections.
2. A total of seven terms. Governor
Caswell began his first term Deem
Der 10, 1776. Following this term he
was elected to three more successive
terms, which was the limit of terms
allowed any one man within a seven
year period by the States first con-
stitution. After three years, which
ended the seven-year constitutional
provision, he was again chosen for
three more successive terms.
3. Builders of water mills were
given two acres of land and builders
of wind mills one-half acre for their
mill sites.
4. The legislature of 1915 passed an
act which provided for the appoint
ment of a commission by Governor
Craig. Only $4,000 was provided for
the work of the commission.
5. The Wings, or North Carolina,
forces wore a scrap of white paper
stuck in their hats while the Tories
wore twig. of green pine top. The
white paper put thesfNorth Carolina
patriots at a disadvantage as it af-
forded a much better mark for the
Tories to shoot at. This battle was
fought on Tuesday, June 20, 1880 just
on the Northern edge of Lincolnton.
Tories had been gathering there for
several days preparing to join Corn
wallis army then in the Charlotte
section. The loss of this battle had a
decided effect on their activities in
the surrounding territory.
6. The vote was 46,756 for Bulwin-
kle, and 49,799 for Jonas giving Jonas
a majority of 3,043.
