Every high school in tue county was represented at the events taking p'.?ce In Belton and there was the keenest interest manifested in very detail of the day's doings. Thc OW'eall Oratorical Contest day has always been one of the foremost events of thc year with the public schools of the county, and yesterday was no exception. In fact, it has been said by many, of those present for yesterday's exercises that this year was the most successful evor held. Jj The lirBt events staged were the bas. ketball games between the girl's l./iDis ot lour tie hoc-its I '(AndoTsonj High school played the Belton High school the first game of the day, the Anderson girls winning In 'a spirited contest by a score of 19 to 17.

Both teams seemed to be evenly matched and both aggre gations played swell ball through out the game until the 8th, inning when the grapd smash up came. Law. ton Wright of Honea Path was umpir ing tho game and when the last In ning was reached the score stood 5 to 4 In favor of the Anderson team. The i Anderson team makes the claim that Belton coach touched * runner on third base and that the runner-was*< therefore out. instead of which the um. pire, refused to call the man out and .permitted., him to cross, the plate and. be scored. When thlB happened tho Anderson boys refused to finish the game and the umpire declared that lt .wai forfeited to Belton by a scoro of ? to 0. The Anderson team does not feel very happy over the matter.
