By Winston-Salem
•
Durham, Aug. Ift (An—'lbe New
York Giants last night advised Pied
mont league diiectors thaA they were
anxious to withdraw from the respon
sibilities lncurrad by the Winston-
Salem franchise, throwing the circuit
into Its most serious crisis at the
season.
No defnite decision about the cir
cuit's future wai reached by the di
rectors at last night's three and one
half hour session. President W. G.
Bramham, however, declared follow
ing adjournment that he hoped to
have a definite announcement some
time today.
At last night's session the directors
were divided over whether to declare
the Winston-Salem franchise forfeit
ed or whether to accept New York's
offer to leave the team in Winston-
Salem with th eleague accepting re
sponsibility. Poor attendance was
blamed by Giant officials for their
action in withdrawing support from

toll erf the yoars counted yesterday as
the -924 world chamfpion Washington

the George Washington Bicentennial.
The score was 6 to 2, and the old
master, Walter Johnson, yielded five
of these rune In his three Innings on
the mound. “Bucky" Harris, now man
ager of Detroit, led in the first run
when he dropped a fly. Inability of
the veterans; Johnson and Judge, to
negotiate a play at first led to a four
run rally In the third.
But the champions of old had the
roaring support, of a crowd of more
than 12,000 fans. The Nationals show
ered A1 Schact, comedian-coach, with
tomatoes and cabbage as he weut to
the third base line in the first Inning
for the champions. In the seventh
the team of today galloped en-mnsse
to the flagpole and hauled down the
world championship banner. They
put k up again In the next inning.
Marberry relieved Johnson after the
third inning.
McAfee went the whole route for
the 1932 team. Manush was its cham
pion at bat, driving out a duoble And
three singles In his four tithes up.

Pl*yetl In’Majors
Pittsburgh. Aug. 16 (AP)-The
Brooklyn Dodgers, continuing their
headlong dash toward Uhe top of the
National League, advanced to within
a game and a half of first place as
they humbled the Pittsburgh Pirates,
11 to 6 in the oiriy game played in the
nkajor leagues yesterday.
In accounting for their 20th victory
in their last 25 games, and handing
the second place Pirates their four
t’eendh decat in fifteen games, the
Dodgers scored all their runs in the
first two innings. Nine of the runs
crossed the plate in the first frame
and two in the second.
Heinie Melne started on th. mound
fur the Pirates, but was forced to give
way to BUI Harris in the first. Harris
in turn, was sent to the showers in
the second Inning. Chagnon finished
the game holding the Dodgers score
less.
The Dodgers pounded out six hits
in their big first inning. Taylor made
two of them—a triple and a single.

clinatipn to recognize that degree of
intelligence in at least a quarter of
tha American people.'
The president continued to revise
his speech until So late that advance
copies- of the whole of it’ ware not
available until a few hours before it
was delievered. Yet those paragraphs
of It dealing with prohibition were
available several days ahead of the
rest of it. Curiosity concerning them
was so intense that they were dug out
somehow. I heard them read at half
a dozen offices on Capitol Hill, guar
anteed to be just, what the president
was going to say, and. sure enough,
that was exactly what he did say when
the time came.
Even as to the nation’s best minds,
it seems reasonable to assume that
they were represented in Constitution
ball during the notification ceremon
ies, and assuredly their owners stif
fened to attention when Mr. Hoover
arrived at the prohibition clause In
his remarks. It was so noticeable that
the president himself half laughted at
it.
The consensus Is that the presiden
tial attitude was wetter than had gen
erally been expected
Much curiosity is expressed as to
the fashion in which the dryp wijl
tpke it when they have had time to
analyze it fully.
Most critics concur that it offers
sufficient concessions to pass muster
with wets who wish to be satisfied
with it.
Economically speaking, Mr. Hoover
is seen as taking a position, as clearly
opposed tb the Democrats os possible.
He stands pat on his present policies.
The Democrats maintain that the
country’s only hope lies in a drastic
change in economic policies.
The president’s conterition that he
has furnished the beat quality of
helnsmanshlp through an Inevitable
storm, of course is under attack al
ready'.
At first glance the presidential
message appears to have had a shade
the better of the contest for news
paper prominence with Governor
Roosevelt's hearing of the Walker
case. The message almost uniformly
had the right-hand column, which
rates as the star column, in Friday's
papers The Walker hearing had the
left-hand column, rating as second
best, and the betting is that the read
ing public glanced at the president’s
prohibition utterances even ahead of
the sport page.

grades, as is generally the case on
opening day. the growers preferring to
hold up their better tobacco until they
see the price trend.
Despite the estimates 6f a short
crop, some of the markets were tax
ed to capacity. Between 800,000 and
1,000,000 pounds were carried to' the
three warehouses at N. C.,
which can handle only about 700,000
pounds a day. A new record lor a
single jlay's sales was looked for
there. ’#l
Huge crowds attended the opening
"breaks” on all markets.
Warehousemen said the effect of 1
this season's weather on the tobacco
had been to give the primings and,
other lower grades a much higher
color than last season, but they lack
ed weight, body and burning qualities;
Approximately 60,000 pounds were
sold at Pamliim at tin estimated aver
age of 11 cents a pound. Conway had
a quarter of a million pounds break,
and looked for an average of around
nine cents after the early sales.
Warehousemen at Timmonsville, S.
C., believed the average would run
close to 11 cents a pound for approxi
mately 400,000 pounds offered and un
usually large opening break there.
Most of the farmers seemed _to.be
fairly well satisfied with prices and
no tickets were being turned.

five warehouses.
The average for the first 26 piles

but that the poorer grades were sell

about the same as last year.

More than 200,000 pounds of tobacco
was offered on three warehouse floors
here today as the local tobacco mar

OTHERCOUNTIES
SEEK REDUCTION
But Few Likely To Duplicate
Buncombe's Luck On-
Bond Interest
Dally Dlapilrk Kereaa, ■
la (he Sir Wnltrr Hotel
BY J. c. nlsKP.miU.
Raleigh, Aug. 16.—Many other cottn
ties in the State would like to do what
Buncombe county Just dope., and
reduce their interest payments in" half
by securing the consent of the bond
holders for teh payment of only half
the interest due this year, but these
other counties will probably not be
able to secure such an agreement, ac
cording to W. E. Easterling; assis
tant director of the Local Government
Commission.
“There are ofher counties that
would like to reduce * Interest
payments on outstanding bonds Just
as much as Buncombe coqnty wanted
to and that probably are having just
as difficult a time financially as Bun
combe had,” Easterling said. "Por
there are other counties tjiat are hav
ing even a more difficult time than
Buncombe is having in meeting their
obligations fpr debt service, though
none owe as much in the aggregate
as does Buncombe, which has a debt
of approximately $50,000,000 outstand
ing.
"The trouble • these other counties
are having or will have, is in getting
all the bond and note holders to agree
to a reduction in interest payments.
This was the trouble at first In the
case of Buncombe county, until all
the bond holders finally agreed to the
appointment of a committee with pow
er to act for all of them and whose
decision should be final. It may be
possible that some of the other coun
ties may be able to secure a similar
agreement from their bondholders, but
it is not very likely, since it is very
difficult to groun of boodhold
ers to agree lo any actftrf of tile na
ture.”
Eventually, however, many of the
holders of county bonds wiH not only
have to accept lower rat«s of interest
on the bonds they now hold but will
also have to accept-less than the full
amounts of the face value of the bqnds
Easterling believes, unless conditions
improve much more rapidly than now
seems likely. He believes this shouid
be done because of the'change in the
value or buying porter of the dollar.

BY J. C. BMKEnviLL.
Raleigh, Aug. 16.—With the admis
sion price to the State Fair reduced
to 50 cents for adults and 26 cents
for children. Secretary-Manager T. B.
Smith believes that the fair this fall
from October 10-15 rtill be the largest«
and best attended State Fair yet held
since it was put entirely under the
direction and management of the
State. The fair Is now conducted as
an adjunct of the State Department
of Agriculture, with the State Board
of Agriculture acting as the directors
of the State Fair. The only object of
the fair is to promote greater know
ledge of the agricultural and indus
trial development of the State and
with no thought of profit. Last year
the State Fair made Just enough to
pay its expenses without having to I
call on the State for any additional ;
allotment to make up a deficit. It is *
hoped that this year it will not only *
make expenses but show a slight aur- !
plus to be used as a reserve.
Many requests are already being re
ceived for exhibit space. Secretary >
Smith said, and he believes there will <
be more and better exhibits this year ’
than last, especially In the livestock
and poultry divisions, as well as in
the agricultural and horticultural di
visions. The premiums fn alt these di
visions are very attractive and ar®
expected to interest ® large number
of exhibitors. ‘ I
The Shows and riding devices for *
the midway will include 10 rides. 20

steel freight cars. 72 f*et long, are
required to transport these shows and
riding' devices.
The free acts, provided by th# fair f
management in front of the grand
stand, are of the usual high standard,
according to Manager Smith, with
May Wirth and her company as head
liners
An excellent horse racing card will
be provided with many of the best
known harness races in the south pre
sent, since the State Fair track has
become known as one of the fastest
