Greensboro, July peeal)-Newbern and Jasper broke even in a double -header here this afternoon. Newbern taking the first game by the score of 9 to O. while the second went te Jasper by the score of to 1.
 The second only consisted of four n- nings a set time for calling the game having been agreed upon to allow Jasper to catch the afternoon train It was very slow and lisuess, hence the small number of innings. The first game was a fine exhibition, both teams playing like professionals. The feature of the game was the pitching of Allen for Newborn. who bad Jasper at his mercy at all stages and whose splendid work in the box pre- vented them from scoring. The only two runs of the game came in the second whe1 with the bases full Marshall for Jasper forced in a run by giving four bad ones and followed this immediately by hitting the batter forcing in another one. After this he settled down and pitched d good game
 By taking yesterdays game and one in the double header today Newborn wins the series. Batteries: First game New bern, Allen and Pollard; Jasper, Marshall aifd Knlough. Second game, Newborn, Welch and Pollard; Jasper Welch, Mel and Killough.

OPERATORS HOLD
 MEETING TODAY
WILL FURTHER CONSIDER THE SIGNING OF CONTRACTS WITH UNION MINERs-No COMPLAINT MADE OF PROPOSED SCALE.

There will be meeting of the Commer cIal Coal Operators association of the Birmingham district today. At this meet ing there will be further consideration of the matter of signing contracts with the union miners for another years work. the old mining year having terminated June 90.
 As it is understood by the public, the differences between the miners and the optrators do not concern the new scale submitted by the former to the latter. but dobs concern the alleged ineffectiveness of the local committees in enforcing those things on which there has been an agree ment. It is alleged that the operators declare there has been too much stoppage of work at various times during the yea, and that this has caused a serious loss to them.
 Whether there will be meeting of the miners committee is unknown. It Is very probable. however, that after the meet ing of the operators association, con ference will be ordered between the com mttee of the operators and the miners at which conference the decision reached will be made known.
 It is generally believed that the opera tors will eventually sign and that the stoppage of work at the various mihes' due to the failure of the operators to sigh the next scale, will be of short duration.
