There was quite an interesting game
Of baseball on the local diamond on
last Thursday afternoon between Clo-
yer and Yorkville. At the end Of the
fourth inning the score stood 2 to in
favor of Yorkville, but errors in the
fifth gave Glover four runs, which
made the total score to 2 in favor OF
Clover. Willie Smith pitched for Clo-
yer and allowed only one hit, striking
out nine men. Bascombe Howe pitch
ed for Yorkville and struck out eight
men.
1t will be remembered that about
ten days ago the Begonia team came
here and took the scalp Of the locals
The tar heels were very much elated
over their victory and forthwith in
spired an article which appeared In
one of the Gastonia papers telling OF
their achievement and incidentally
boasting that there would be another
try-out on August 9, when they ex-
pected to literally wipe up the earth
with the Cloverites. The second con-
test was pulled off on Friday and was
one Of the most one sided exhibitions
ever witnessed by the local fans (prac-
tically all Of us) the score being Is to
l in favor of Glover. The next game
here is to be played on next Saturday
between Glover and the Ozark mill
team of Gastonia.
