Rock Hill, June 10.-Quite an i'm
portant deal in real estate was put
through here last week by the Peoples
Bank and Trust company. The old
home place Of the late John G. Steele
and small tract of land adjoining,
which was the property Of Mr.. VIM.
NJ. Steele, was sold to Messrs. C. w. T.
Spencer and r. l. Sturges for $4,000.
The whole property amounted to about
24O acres.
There is considerable talk here of
the movement to form a Baby
League" with Yorkville, Rock HAIL.
Kings Mountain and number OF
other towns interested in baseball. AS
yet there has been no definite arrange
ment made Rock Hill could get to-
gether a bona fide home team with
the college players now on vacation
and with one or two non-college local
players. It would be refreshing to
once again see q good game OF ball
between bona-fide local teams and to
know that you were splitting your
throat for local spirit and not for 'the
most money" This professional bus
mess makes an old time player tired.

day passed a very complimentary res

UNFAIRLY handed in. Mr.. Buist has

here that his retirement from his very
active connection with the college Will
not cause him to leave Rock Hill.
