NINETEEN TO THREI, ' GAFFNEY BEATS SHELBY T< THAT TUNE. “LIFE IS A FACT.’ A Pretty Game From A Local Stand point—The Visitors Played A Loose Game—A Gen tlemanly Team. Nineteen to three! That’8 the way Ihe score stood. The Shelby baseball aggregation swooped down upon (ialTney last Friday with all the zeal characteris tic of our Tar Heel neighbors but af ter a struggle of nine ennings with the sandlappers they came to the conclusion that Gaffney had a ball team that was hard to down, for they outplayed the visitors at every point. The crowd which witnessed the game was perhaps the largest ever gathered on the local diamond and at least one half were of the gen tler sex. Nearly everybody was for Gaffney and as a matter of fact the visiting team had the disadvantage of playing against t he grand stand as well as the local team. They, however, conducted themselves in a gentlemanly manner and barring the slight kicking done by Carroll, the Shelby pitcher, there was no dissat isfaction as to the rulings of the um pire. The first man to the bat was our Tommy and he swiped the ball for a grounder and reached first by a fumble of Alexander. But when ho got to first the handsome Hord had planted himself to catch the ball hut Tommy run up against him like a cyclone and as a result the big first- baseman was knocked off his pins. He took it though,like the gentleman he was, hut ever afterwards gave the runners ample room about first. In the first inning Brown and S. C. Thomas scored and t he crowd yelled itself hoarse. The Shelby boys went to the bat three t imes to get as many goose eggs while Gaffney had eight runs to her credit, In the fourth Shelby made one run, Alexander touching the ribber by a succession of errors on the part of the local team. Gaffney went to the hat in her half of the fourth and piled up six more runs. The boys seemed to try to get revenge for the one run Shelby had made by error. Shelby never scored again until the ninth inning .vhen Kendall and Carroll, W., were ena bled to reach the home plate by a scries of hits on the part of Shelby and a series of errors on the part of the locals. In the meantime Gaffney had added live more to her score. The score at the end stood: wftaffney 2 51 Ji (> 151 1 u 0—19. Shelby 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2— 3. The last three innings were the best of the game and had Shelby done as well at the beginning the score might have been different. The outfielding of the visitors was very poor, while nothing went into the direction of our boys that was not captured in fine style. The playing of Lipscomb at second was magnifi cent. Too much cannot be said of Gaffney’s battery. Wyatt was a veritable circle. Nothing coming jvithin his reach he did not get, while in. C. Thomas’ pitching puzzled the Shelby boys no little. Martin distin gushed himself by capturing a red- hot liner. The following were the players and their positions : Shelby—Alexanders. »., Hord l.b, Carroll, II. 2. b. Webb c, Lattimore J. of, Kendall 3 b, Lattimore, S. r. f, Harper 1 f, Carroll, W. p. Gaffney—Brown, cf, Wyatt c, Gl- ney, ] b, Thomas. S.

An effort is being made to have Gastonia come over and try conclu sions with the “Giants” f)ur boys contemplate going to Shelby in a couple of weeks. After the game the Shelby boys were brought down town, where they were treated in line style by several of our leading spirits. Some of them took in the picnic at Limestone.

In pursuance of the call in last week’s Ledger, a meeting was held at Wood’s Hall last Tuesday evening in which was considered the organi zation of a local building and loan association. After considerable dis cussion and tlie appointment of a few committees for furtherance of the work, the meeting adjourned to con vene again next Monday evening, May the 12th, in Wood's Hall at 8:30 p. nt. All who feel an interest in the progress of our town and community are urged to attend the meeting next Monday evening. While Tuesday evening’s meeting was not so largely attended as it was I hoped it would he there was an j enthu.-u stic meeting. Every one j pr>\c. seemed to have recognized! the good in building and loan associ- i ation, fej that it is one of the great - needs m' the town and pledged his j support to such an organization. 1 f we would consider our own in terest we cannot do without such an organization. As it now stands sev eral thousand dollars are yearly sent from our town to foreign building and loan associations, all of which might more profitably be put in a home or ganization and expended in homes ' for citizens. Why send off so much i for the enrichment of other commu nities, when we so much need it at | home? The building and loan furnishes a ! perfectly safe and large interest-bear- ing savings hank, where we may from month to month invest our surplus earnings, and father, it affords to those who have but little means and are in need of homes, the easiest means of obtaining them. Then let j all attend the meeting next Monday j evening, join the building and loan association, save their money and I buy homes. - - **• • Tickles from Teals Monazite Mine. \\Y;n oh our boys got inter de wust- est si-rap de udder day yo eber sede er heard tell ub‘ Hit wus dis wa, wun ub our boys started ter go ter Sunday-school wid sum body elses gal wen de ole man git out an holler luk he gwine ter bus he eye-balls out fer do gal ter cum bak, den he (our hoy) non- bout struck er turkey trot.
