CHEROKEE-The Gafney Ledger,
July IL: Gaffney is in no manner
dismayed over her defeat at baseball.
A new Richmond is now in the field as
manager and he is an old time mana
ger at that-we refer to Mr.. A. c.
Pridmore. Arthur proposes to prac-
tice the boys and get them in good
shape and will get three or four good
players to help the boys out. Already
he is figuring on going over to York
vile and regaining the laurels lost to
that enterprising city's magnificent
team. Watch Gafney get in the swim
in regard to baseball yet if Arthur
takes hold of the management. In
this connection we might say that
Gaffney has number of good players,
and with little practice and three or
four additions she will have a team
that will be able TO cope with the best.
