Mac . '(slt1j;t
Resigned Position as Manager of
Anderson Team and Signed
With Gaffney Crew

Many expressions of surpiae were
heard yesterday afternoon when the
Gaffney team .trooped out on the field
and 1t was found that Leroy Mccall
was stationed on third base for that
team. Mac" had been manager of
the Andersop team and first baseman
for the home club until yesterday
morning.
That he had quit the Anderson team
was matter OF general regret. He
Is hcGdy player, steady at all stages
OF Tho game, and knows how to go af-
ter tho crowds and how to get them.
The officials Of the Anderson team
have no word OF criticism to loffer In
regard to the work lie hus done since
he; has been member of the Anderson
team and the sole explanation OF why
he Quit lies in the fact that personal
differences arose which made 1t impos-
silie for him to continue with the
Anderson team.
It is understood that come of the
other teams in the league are looking
for managers and 1t Ia sure bet that
one of them will grab McColi for the
wheel horse of their team before ma
ny days pass.

GAFFNEY'S ERRORS
LET LOCALS WIN
Next Games
VIII Try To Have Schedule Re.
arranged For Games on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday

President Wlaley of the Anderson
team has announced that ne plans to
make application to the league offic-
ials, If Anderson remains in the asso-
citation, to have the next three games
rearrangcd on the schedule The
present schedule calls for Gaffney to
return to Gaffney today for the games
with Spartanburg and for Anderson
to go to Greenvifle. This is as bad
as could be. Gaffncy people are sick
and tired of seeing Spartanburg play,
az their. team has never played
against Greenville and Greenville
people are tired Of Anderson, as they
have never played Gaffney. Anderson
fans don't want to hear the word
Grcenyille again because the locals
have already played them six games
and have never played against Spar
tanburg.
i. Il, is. proposed to have the schedule
go arranged that Spartanburg will
come to Anderson for the next three
days and Gaffney~ will go. to Green
Vile. All this depends upon whether
OF not Anderson will ,be In the league
after tonight and that IS up to the
Anderson fans. What about It?

Welcome news for the Anderson
fans: "Bi!l" Grsyion tclcgruphed last
night that he would be found this af-
ternoon In the left garden. ready to
do his share. That should draw a
few extra fans ~ the game.
Anderson beat Gaffney for the first
two but 1t won't be SO easy today
Miller. Gaffney's southpaw, who is to
pitch today. i. said to be the best in
the league. -.
Maybe "Chick" Watson wasn't play
ing the game yesterday. He got three
hits out Of three times up. one for
an extra sack, pitched a good game
after he got warmed up and made a
beautiful catch in left field. Some re-
cord FOR one game.
S,immey had hard luck yesterday
but he has the, goods and there is no
getting around that fact.
Watson will WORK agaia .odpy for
Anderson and he will go good.

Coll is good ball player and the fans
don't like his looks in that Gaffney
uniform.
And Robinson managed to sneak in
his home run again. A pitcher like
that Is worth few bones to club.
Hooper. the new man on first base
for Anderson. plays mighty good
game and he is proving to be q vnlu-
able man.
We warn you right now, II this
team is sold tomorrow we will tell
you I'VE told you 80" .

There's some class to that boy. He
won that game yesterday in the

To do or not to do. That is the

COAL PRICES WILL Be
NORMAL IN SOUTH BEND
Dealers Say Cost of Fuel Will
be Same as Last Year Un-
less Unexpected Happens.
WHAT SOUTH Blenders
WILL PAY FOR COAL

Coal merchants in South Bend state
that the price of fuel in this country
has not been affected by the European
war thus far but it is barely possible
that the foreign conflict may cause an
increase in cost before the winter
passes. The supply of fuel throughout
the country is above normal at the
present time but this, it is maintained,
is due to the negligence of the con-
sumner who has failed to take ad-
vantage of the summer prices. Two
million tons less coal has been ship
ped thus far this year than last, show
ing that the people have not put in
heavy advance orders for the winter.
Optimism seems to prevail among
South Bend dealers generally who
state that the prices of coal are about
the same as last year and say that
they do not believe they will increase
materially. The only danger is that
the big coal companies may contract
with foreign powers to furnish coal
during the war if the difficulties of
transporting the coal to Europe can
be overcome
Practically all the South Bend
merchants are well supplied with coal
for the winter, having made their
contracts for the year. The summer
orders have been filled and the win
ter orders will begin TO arrive soon.
