Merchants For T1dv Sum
Check Artistry Earns Man
$3.50; Being Sought
By Police

Police officers are searching for
a 30-year-old check artist who last
week swindled local merchants out
Of $3.50 in cash and merchandise in
a manuever of checks.
He is thought to be operating in
Charleston at the present time
after conducting, swinoiing acti-
vities in Laurinburg and Concord,
addition to Wilmington.
Going under the name of David
Harrlss and accompanied by a
woman and child, the check artist
operated here Friday and Saturday
Of last week. 1t was not until yes
terday that his game was I'M
covered on a statewide scale, local
police officers said.
Police told this story of his Will
mington visit:
Introducing himself as Harriss,
he walked into a local bank, and
talking fast, told the president OF
the institution he wanted to trans
fer a checking account from a new
Concord bank.
First he told the president that
he, Harriss, had formerly worked
at the local country club and met
the head of the institution in the
golf shop.
He then explained the money he
wanted to transfer had been saved
by his wife while he was in the
service. He told the bank head he
had been living in Concord but had
not decided to return to Whining
ton. This was on Friday, May II.
Writing out a check for 81 1000, he
deposited it with an additional So
and opened an account. He was
then cautioned not to cash any
checks against the account until
his check had cleared the Concord
banking institution.
The following day he wrote
checks and cashed them in at least
SIX local business houses for mer-
chandlse and cash. The following
tuesday the checks started to come
through for payment. The checks
were held up awaiting word from
Concord.
A wire to that institution discles-
ed the account had been closed
and a warrant had been issued for
Harrlss' arrest. The checks were
then returned to the merchants.
The theory has been propounded
by the police that the stores die
not check more closely due to the
similarity of the name to that Of
David S. Harriss, Country Clut
boulevard. The first Harriss had
given his address as 80 Mimosa
place.
Since he left town a check has
come through from Charleston to

Starred in a number of High school

fair to bring him a host of new

Prewdr Stars of Diamond Must Look 10 LaureIs in
 Comeback Tries
By Jerry Liska

CHICAGO - Ted Williams, Joe Di Maggie, Dick Wakefield, Joe Gordon and the rest of the Ameri- can Leagues pre-war pippins bec- ter be good in their comeback campaigns next season. because a flock of rockies appear primed to steal the spotlight.
 A survey of Junior Circuit rosters reveals that every club has at least one newcomer who may grab tho headlines if established stars find their rows hard to hoe after war caused layoffs.
 Most highly touted of the bud ding hot-shots are outfielders Gill bert Coan of Washington and Wal ter (Hoot) Evers of Detroit and catcher Sherman Lollar of Cleve- land.
 Owner Clark Griffith of the Sem ators says Coan, with only two years of professional ball behind him, will start in Centerfield, flanked by veterans Stan Spence and -Clevelander Jeff Heath. Coan, a left-handed hitter, fleet and husky, led one Southern Asso- citation in seven different depart ments last year at Chattanooga, topped by lusty .372 batting aver age.
 He belted POI hits for a total of 345 bases; led in stolen bases with 37; slammed 28 triples to break a 24-year record; and topped the as sociation in doubles, with 40, and homers, with Is.
 The World Champion Tigers ex- pect great things from Evers, who was team-mate of Bengal Star Wakefield at Beaumont, Tex, in 1942. While Wakefield copped the Texas League batting title that year with 345, Evers was runner up with 322 and was much more adroit defensively than Dick.
 Lollar, who led the International League in hitting with .367 last year, is rated the best catching prospect the Baltimore Orioles have sent to the Big Leagues in a de- cade. He was purchased by the Tribe for $10000 under working agreement, strictly a bargain grab for the Tribe.
