Cabarrus Ball Park, Home of Towel Makers, Destroyed by Fire, Nov. 6, 1926

Destroyed by Fire

The Cabarrus ball park, home of the famous Towel Makers, was destroyed Thursday night by a fire of unknown origin.

The dugouts and grandstand were burned but, save for some 20 feet, the fence that encloses the field was untouched.

The park is owned by the Cannon textile interests, being under charge of the Cabarrus Mills. The loss could not be learned, but it is thought that insurance fully covers the impairment.
