BASEBALL NOTES.

Don't cheer DoyS-theyVe lost TWO
games.
Many a game is lost by letting the
other side out CAB you.
When you root for the Yorkville
team, don't do it in a whisper.
Complaining at the umpire, is all the
consolation that the losing team has.
The umpire that can satisfy both
sides in one game, hasn't been born
yet.
Roofing never did knock home run,
but it has brought many a runner
home.
If you can't boost the home play
ers, don't knock them. Any kind of
an idiot can be knocker.
When 1t comes to roofing for his
team, First Baseman Fite of the Fort
Mill team, is a crowd by himself.
When a man drives an automobile
ten miles through the mud to see a
ball game, 1t is a sure sign that he
loves the game.
The Huntersville, N. c., team played
three games at Fort Mill last week.
HunterSville took one and Fort Mill
captured the other two.
In the game yesterday afternoon,
Catcher Belts had the misfortune of
having the middle finger on his right
hand broken by pitched ball, making
it necessary for him to retire from the
game.
Price did a good job for Yorkville in
the 4th inning in Wednesdays game,
when with two men on bases he knock
ed two Dagger, scoring one man and
advancing another from first to third,
who scored later. A special purse was
made up for Price on the strength of
his hit.
At a meeting in the court house last
night, the baseball enthusiasts decided
to hire a team for at least one month,
and to continue the arrangement
longer if the results made the plan fea-
sible The team will probably include
number of the players who helped
to win Thursdays game.
Only a small sized crowd turned out
to see the Fort Mill Yorkville game on
Wednesday afternoon. 1t was a good
game, considering the wet grounds,
which made the ball hard to handle.
Both teams did good work and at times
showed considerable snap and ginger
in their work. The players on both
teams made several brilliant plays,
that elected liberal applause. The
Fort Mill lineup was as follows Fulp,
3b; Thompson, 2b; Fite, 1b; McCants,
C; Audrey, If; Archie, IS; Young, cf;

The game yesterday afternoon after
the fourth inning was too onesided to
be very interesting. except for the
many really brilliant plays that were
made by the players of the two teams.
Fort Mill was first at the bat, scored
one run, and was retired to the past
ure. Yorkville was blanked in this in
ming, and also i'm the second. Fort Mill
failed to make the circuit of the bags
in the second, third, fourth or fifth
innings, made one in the sixth and fail
ed to make the round of bases i'm the
next three innings. Yorkvile made the
circuit once in the third and four times
i'm the fourth inning, was frozen out in
the fifth and SIXTH and i'm the seventh
trotted around the garden walk five
times and i'm the eighth added two more
making the final score - to .. The
boys from across the Catawba could
easily see that they were beaten after
the fourth inning, but they never once
let up in their fight To hold the locals
down as much as possible, and played
a good, clean game to the end. The
lineup yesterday was as follows: Fort
Mill-Fulf, 3h; Thompson, 2b; Fite,
