GAFFNEYS LET LO BOTH TEAMS HAD ON THEIR EATTING CLOTHES FOR A SLUGGING MATCH SCORE WAS 8 TO 7 Second Game of Series With Gaffney Won By Anderson-? ' Will Play the Lsst Today Gaffney'a six errors and tho lieavy hitting of the Anderson team, couv Iilncd to win n victory for tho Ander son team over thc visitors yesterday hut it was hy the narrow margin of ono run. The ?coro was 8 to 7. The game lacked a great deal of ho ing anything like the exhibition of the lirst day but it was more Inter esting because of tho fact that one team would get- ahead by ono run nnd In thu next Inning the other club would forre to the front and secure a one run lead. In the ninth inir ". with nobody out and three on bases Millwood came to bat and secured;a clean singlo, registering the winning run for thc local team. Th?. Anderson team played fine ball in th?*" Held, making no errors but the pitchers were hit hard. In the second Inning Manager Wood relieved Eld.-on. \vho:started the game for the vlsltorr. and put Carrlher in the box. Tho second pitcher did siighf iy belier tima the lirst. Summcy started the game for the locals but was relieved in tho fifth inning by Watson. The . southpaw had n time in getting warmed np but he struck his gait neat tuc end of the game nnd was.pHehlnS'far bet ter ball when th" ninth Inning came than when he went :<i the box. MrOoll, who wan released by tho Anderson club yesterday morning and thch nigned by the Onffney club, play ed third bain for fha visitors o:-d seemed lo he hu vin? an off day. He made two costly errors for the /Isitirrs but Wit-i thone exception.' ho put up a good game for the visiting leam. The crowd of fans was cor?iiilerab?y increased over that of Monday and they BOem?d tn he well pleased with the game. Doubtless tho at'Pnduiice for the event thin afternoon will be even larger.

Spartanhi I ERRQRS CALS WIN Next Games Will Try To Have Schedule Re arranged For Games on Thurs day, Friday and Saturday President "Whaley of tho Anderson team has announced that he plana to ni uko application to thc league offic ials, if Anderson remains in the asso ciation, to have thc next three games rearranged ou the schedule. The present schedule calls for Gaffney to return to Gaffney today for the games with Spartunbuig and for Anderson to, go to Greenville. This is as had as. could bo. Gaffney people are sick and tired of seeing Spartanburg play, aa their, team hus hover played against Greenville and Greenville peoplo are tired of Anderson, as they have never played Gaffney. Anderson fans don't want to hear the word Greenville again because the locals have already played them tlx games and have never played against Spar enburg. It. is.proposed to have tho schedule so arranged that Spartanburg will come to Anderson for the next three days and Gaffney- will go to Green ville. All this depends upon whether ot not Anderson will,be In the, league after tonight and' that Js tip . to the Anderson fane. What about lt? ;_. . - . U -i n -; Resigned Position as Manager of Anderson Team and Signed 1 With Gaffney Crew Many expressions of surplne wore beard yesterday afternoon when the Gaffney team trooped out on the Held and it wan found that Le Roy McCall : wan stationed on third base for that team. "Mac" had'been manager of the Andercan team and first baseman tor the home club until ."csterday morning. That he had quit the Anderson team j war. a matter of general regret. He ls a heady player, steady at all stages of tho game, and know? how to go af- i ter tho crowds and how to get them. The officials of the Anderson leam i have no word of criticism to offer in regard to thc work he has done since ho has boen a member of thc Anderson team rad the sole explanation of why he out Hos in thc fact that personal differences aroso which made lt impos sible for him to continuo with the Anderson team. j It is understood that come of the other teams in the league are looking for managers and it ls a pure bet that ] one of them will grab McColl for the wheel horse of their team before ma ny days pass. . ...._ NATIONAL Adams Was Kffcctive.

BUNTS No moro after today, unless Its a case of 250 people this after noon or "el. e," And you know what else means. Union1 wants our team and well they might. Leading, th'' league and y. can't draw 200 faur. Oi?e inore chance today and then it's all over. It tlie her; team in the league can't get support here, what would a sorry aggregation draw? Next to Anderson Gaffney has the host team in the Piedmont league and ir Anderson drops out Gaffney will cop the rag. Welcome news for tho Anderson fans: "Hill" Graydon telegraphed last night that lie. would bc found this af ternoon in the lett gurden, ready to do his share. That should draw a few extra fans lo the game. Anderson beat Gaffney for thu first two but lt won't bo so easy today. Miller, Gaffney':; southpaw, who is to pitch today, is ; aid to be the best in Hie league. Maybe "Chick'' Watson wasn't play ing the game yesterday. He got three hits out of. three times up, one for an extra sack, - pitched a good game after he got warmed up and* made a* beautiful catch in left field. Some re cord for ono game. . - Stimmey had' hard luck yesterday but he has thc goods and there is no getting around that fact. Watson v.'-il v.-ork agata today for Anderrou and he will .go good. Maybe the fans believe it is a joke but if the attendance don't reach 260 this afternoon the tenm will be sold to Union tonight. Some towns are willing to admit that they are quitters. Thc gamo begins at 4:30, ladles are admitted free and we simply must havo 250 people in attendanco. Nelthor Edison or Carrlher show ed much form yesterday but cince we won, 'wo aro willing to believe that they arc all right. . Manager ll a. n rick himself will ar rive in .Ander.io ri today, to take charge of thc Gaffney team ior tho last of the series. He is the best catcher ever neem on o South <Surollna diamond. And-old Mac har, dercrted us. Mc coll ls a good ball player and thc fana don't like his looks lu that Gaffney uniform. And Robinson managed to sneak in his home' run again. A pitcher like' that is Worth a few bones to a club. Hooper, tho new man on flrBt base for Anderdon, plays a mighty good game and he is proving to bo a valu able man. We warn you right now, if this team <E Bold tomorrow wc will tell you "We told you so." . , There's nothing to it. When Hull lays up agaihBt a bali it is good bye for quite a spell. _ ) t Ripley managed to squeeze in two good Jilts yerteidny. one for two bags, and -be 1B good for two more today. And Millwood is still catching as woll as we want to see a man do. There's some class to that boy. "He won that game yesterday in the ninth. . To do or not to do. That is the question perplexing the town this morning. This ls really the last chance. - ' It will hurt every town in the lea gue to have Anderson drop out, bot If the local fans want to quit that ia their business and quit we will. Baseball or no baseball? The question will be. answered at 6:30 this afternoon. ?rf Well Union, you will get aa fine as has been Boon around here If you get our bunch bf ?ure enough, ball play tons and courteous, pleasant, llkablo I gontlemer, Us well.
