20 many years that he had long since

On an eminently respectable street, and
the polished doorplate bore his name
In uncompromising characters.
The library furniture was solid and
dignified. Its businesslike appearance

driving against the windowpanes, the
sidewalks were ankle deep In slush,
and the wet. cold wind from the 20

Somewhere about the house an IN

In the last half of the ninth of the first game Anniston put three men on bases with no one out, but King held his own and kept the local team from scoring. There was much dissatisfaction With decision of Bagswell in that in- ming when King hit Proctor with the bases full and the umpire would not let him have his base on it and force the run in that would have tied the game. In the second game Glazner had every thing going his way, when he held Gads- den to two hits in a seven-inning game, one of the singles being a fluke. The second game was played under protest by Gadsden. Mills protested on the grounds that the game was not started two hours before sundown. The features of the games were the playing of Donald son and Abbott and the hitting of Proc tor, Abbott and Jordan and the pitch ing of Glazener and King Scores:
