THREE TAH2 HEELS
PLAY PRO BASEBALL
Nethercutt, Bissett and Hud-
son Are to Play for Money,
Not Glory, Now
BY EARL ALEXANDER.

Chapel Hill, May 31.-Three of the
five seniors on the University Of
North Cardinals 1889 baseball squad
are planning to continue their dia-
mond careers following graduation
next week.
Co-Captains George Nthercutt,
Roanoke Rapids; and Harold Bissett,
Bailey; and Sam Davis, Clarksville,
Va, will play baseball henceforth for
a salary rather than for the glory
of Alma Mater. Henry (Bud) Hud-
son, Asheville, and Frank Cox, Staley
the other two senior players, are al
so through so far as active cOmpeti-
ton is concerned.
Regarded by many as the best cat
cher in the Southern Conference,
Nethercutt will for the second
straight season play with the semi
professional Roanoke Rapids Owls
this summer Later in the summer
he is expected to make his debut in
professional baseball-probably with
one of the farm clubs of the Boston
Red Sox. In his three years Of var
sity ball at Carolina Nethercutt av-
eraged approximately AIS in his hit
ting. AS a sophomore he hit. $50, as
junior .440 and this spring scared
almost to the 500 level.
Bissett will play this summer with
the Mt. Airy club of the Bi-State
League. If he succeeds in this circuit,
he will continue with the sport. 9th
erwise, he will accept 4 government
position which awaits him. Bissett is
generally regarded the greatest de-
fensive first-baseman ever to play
at Carolina.
Davis will return to his home
town, Clarksville, Va, to continue
his baseball activity Although he
pitched well all season, using pri-
marily an effective sharp-breaking
curve. Davis received poor backing
from his teammates and wound up
the season with only two victories
in six games. His batting average for
the season was 273.

II don't know. She left a note for

|. Daddy darling, I'm going
away and I don't want you to look
for me. I've got to make up my
mind about something and I guess
I've got to make it up for myself.
I'll let you know as soon as I've
done something about it. I'm SO
muddled I can't write sense. Tell
Mother it really isn't her fault.
Love, Jessica'."
''Phil, what could it be?
II don't know, Nell, but Kendall
has left the Long Ridge company.
I'm trying to find his address in
New York."
"You you think she might
have have eloped with him ?"
I'm trying not to think. I'm
staying at the apartment if you
want me-"
"Phil, I'm coming in 7 want to
be there with you. If I can ever
think clearly again, I may have
some IDEAS"
Phil didn't want her to come to
New York, but she couldn't sit
there in her calm little cottage in
the maddening silence of the next
three days.
She sat tensely waiting for him
in the ghostly dust-sheeted draw
ing room of their town apartment.
For three nights he came back
to her, hollow-eyed and drawn.
He'd been to all the theatrical
agencies, to former addresses
where Kendall had lived. He'd been
to the marriage license bureau and
telephoned every city hall clerk for
miles around. The earth had seem
ingly opened to swallow both Ken
dali and their daughter.
The third night he said: I'm 60

can't leave you alone. I'm going to
call up Kate and ask her to come

phone, saying: 'This is Miss Doug

ELEANOR FELT the color drain
from her face. She sat down on a
chair in the hall for support.
"Annie,- do you know why he
went? What Miss Jessica said in
the note 2"
Annie, twisting the apron in her
fingers, said shakily: mo, ma'am.
But Mr.. Parrish didn't wait for
nothing when he read the note. I
was in the kitchen with the cook
when he come downstairs. He said:
Tell Mrs. Parrish not to worry,
that I'll find her. Cook said:
Who'll you find, Mr.. Parrish?' and
he said: Miss Jessica. Tell Mrs.
Parrish I'll call her from New
York. He's been calling, ma'am, al
most every hour since eight o'clock
last night"
did he ask where I was ?"
mo, ma'am. Mrs. Parrish, I went
up to Miss Jessica's room. She took
a bag with her and all her per-
sonal things"
what do you mean personal
things 2" she asked duly.
"She's took all her toilet articles
and that picture frame with your
picture and Mr.. Parrish in it, and
her little old teddy BEAR"
"Oh!" Jessica had run away!
Eleanor felt unable to think Of
more than that. Emotionally un-
strung from the thoughts that had
kept her wide awake all the night
through at Aiida's, Eleanor was in
a state that was nearly collapse.
The telephone rang long and
shrilly. "I'll answer it," she said,
picking up the receiver with
nerveless fingers.
Eleanor? This is Drusilla Bates.
I'm on the committee arranging
sale for the village church. I
wondered if you'd take table? !? It's
a week from Thursday"
Eleanor said: Eyes yes, Of
course. A week from Thursday. I'll
put it in my book"
She hung up without having the
least idea of what she had said.
you're looking kind of peaked,
Mrs. Parrish. I'll make you cup
of tea and you should lie down for
a little while. I'll call you when
Mr.. Parrish calls again"
THANK you, Annie"
She went upstairs and took off
her black dress and put on a negli-
gee, but she could not rest. She
paced the room, her ears attuned
to the ringing Of telephone bell,
to the sound of a motor on the
road. Her thoughts were agonizing.
To what lengths had she driven
her own child?
It was nearly two hours later
when Phil called.
He said: Don't worry, Eleanor,
I'll find Jessica. She's got too .i.uch

Escaped Lorton Prisoner,
Free II Years, Is Recuptured

A long journey of two years and
four months began to-day for Fred
John Stevens, 55, WHO is coming
back to the Lor,on Reformatory
to complete a sentence after II
years of freedom
Stevens was arrested yesterday in
New Haven, Conn, by Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation agents who
have been on the lookout for him
since his escape from the reforma-
tory electric plant in 1928 after
serving eight months of a sentence
of three years and a day. He was
q trusty at the prison.
Since that time, he has built for
himself a reputation termed, excel
lent" by those in New Haven who
knew him. For the past 10 months
he has owned small trucking busi-
ness and did some hauling on w.
P. A. projects.
The Associated Press reported that
Stevens said last night through an
attorney that he would waive ex-
tradition. Described as a well
spoken, neat-appearing" man, he
was arrested at his rooming house
1t was said he played a cornet for
amusement.
Stevens, according to the F. b. l.,
was first arrested IN Norfolk, Va,
in March, 1927, on the automobile
theft charge, but skipped his bond

Industry is operating at capacity

Britain. That's surprising since
the machines, machine tools and
tools ordered are for the produc-
ton of airplanes, airplane parts,
ornaments and munitions. 1t had
been expected that the British
Purchasing Commission would
book that business.
Exporters say the British Com
mission is not placing the orders
because the British government
doesn't want U. S. manufacturers
to know that war supply buying
Is actually taking place. They ex-
pect that prices will thus be kept
from skyrocketing.

CORY are International Nickel,

Nation move Of June, 1885. has

This is ascribed to speculative ac-

But there is a scarcity Of ship
ping facilities due 10 the sinking
of numerous cargo boats. Freight
rates are considerably higher. It's
possible that this condition will
cause commodity prices abroad to
skyrocket without a correspond
