Four hits in eighteen innings was
the best the Colts could dos in Sat

of near-hitting cannot win games.

they did not have a look in.

the first game and only a succession OF
errors gave the visitors their lone
tally. They should not have scored at

In the second game Revelie got hts
bumps and the Shoemakers made
merry with the stick Ten hits, two
OF them doubles and one a triple were
garnered OF the Dutchman's delivery
while Griffin held the locals 10 three
scattered bingles.
First Game.
The first game was well worth
seeing and might have been much
more interesting had the Colts not
punched their two errors In the same
Inning along With a passed bah. This
gave the visitors their run and Yer
bout held them safe after this.
After the visitors were retired easily
In the first and second they got busy
in the third. Lloyd was an easy out
but Howdell singled and went to sec
ond when his drive went through
Burke. then Cowan let one get away
from him and the runner went TO
third. ID, Smith was up and failed
with the hit and run sign. Ho~edeli
was caught off third and Cowan peg
sed there to catch him, then he dart
ed for home and Bunting returned
the ball in time to get him by several
feet, the ball passed Cowan, however,
although he should have caught 4;
and made an easy out. After this in
ming the visitors did not threaten and
yerbout finished the game In good
style. He held the Shoemakers 60
Ave scattered hts.
The locals could do nothing at all
with Lloyd and he held them com
pieteiy at hts mercy. One lone single
by Shaw In the first was all they could
get and only three men reached first

passes

good and hard after the fourth inning
and the bits came In punches
One run would have won for the
visitors. however. as Grimm was al
most as much or a puzzle for the Colts
as Lloyd was in the first game. They
found him for only three hits and
with men on the sacks he Was in
vincibie. Several excellent chances
were offered to score q run or two.

BY 7. d. BONNEVILLE.

The loss Of SATURDAYS double
header to the Shoemakers was a
severe blow to the Colts at this criti-
cal period. From third place they
were rude1y pushed to the near cellar.
and while they are there By only a
very small margin, one point, II is not
encouraging to a club to be 30 far
down In the race.
1t was particularly unfortunate that
the locals were not able to capture
one OF the games In the last series
here. Even one victory would have
kept them in third place for n day
longer at least. The two games that
resulted in tie should both have
gone to the locals. but they failed 10
win simply because things did not
break well for them.
One significant fact about the Sc
ries was that each of the Colts four
twirlers had a ding at the visitors.
and not one of them was able to score
. victory. This 10 something that has
rarely. on probably never, occurred
in the league this season.
Although now In nth place, fhe
Colts are still pressing Norfolk and
i+ynehburg for third place, AID q run
OF good luck will place than back
where they belong. The Norfolk Clue

ent. seemingly due entireiys to the
great work OF Vance, who seldom
loses game. The Tars may have a
little slump. however. and the Shoe
maers are not so formidable when
opposed to the other clubs OF the
league. They always seem to have
something ON the Colts.

Should be Assessed Alike.

Salisbury Post.
Mr.. n B. Mills, chairman of the
Iredell board of commissioners, at
tended the meeting of the State AS
sociation of Commissioners in Char
lotte last week and to an Observer
reporter stated his views with refer
ence to the equalization of taxation
between corporations and individ-
uals. "He says it is wrong" says
the Observer, "to let an individual
off with a one-third valuation OF his
property when a corporation has to
pay 100 per cent. He is attempting
to have this remedied. He thinks
individuals and corporations should
be assessed the true value of their
property and the rate should be de-
creased correspondingly to the indi-
viduaPs property valuation. This
puts all on an equal footing"
Mr. Mills views are sound enough,
but they will not prevail for the rea-
son that it is the popular thing to
hammer the corporation and at the
same time let the individual down
upon payment of tax upon anywhere
from 25 70 Is per cent. of the actual
value of his possessions. 1t is a
burning shame that such is the case,
but it is fact, nevertheless.

Butler ''Comes Back. "
Concord Times.

concord lines
The threatening cloud which pre-
saged a terrible storm in Greensboro
yesterday event around" and after
wards the sun came out beautiful and
bright. After q campaign OF vilifica-
tion and abuse, elimination and re-
elimination, the defeated ones swal-
lowed their medicine and engaged in
the love feast. No Democratic paper
and no Democratic speaker can say
any worse things about Mr.. Butler
than members OF his party have said
in the memorable campaign just
closed. Ii duncan, Adams, and 9th
ers are to be believed, Butler, who
named Morehead and who ls the vir-
tual leader OF the party, is a traitor,
a schemer, a trickster and many 9th
er kinds OF bad man, one who is in
different to the interest OF his party
and actuated only by selfish aims.
With Butler in the lead, many Re-
publicans who believe in good govern.
ment administered by good men will
keep hands Off in this campaign or
support the Democratic ticket.
What else can they do if they accept
as true the estimate OF Butler given
by many of the party leaders?
