The Indians returned Thursday from Union, where they played three games with the much heard of Buf falo aggregation. The series result ed in two out of three for Buffalo, our boys losing the first, winning the second and losing the third.

This gives Gaffney four victories, two defeats and one tie out of seven games with Buffalo, which is considerably more j 7$ than any other team In North or I South Carolina has been able to do | | with them.
