{. a. team and won from them BY Z,
score of 10 D.. While there was some
ragged playing done. the exhibition
was as good as has been seen at Bucna
Vista park in some several moons. The
fans were tickled with the shown,
Inadc by the league team and did not
hesitate to say SO.
The two most marked features of
the game may be mentioned as the
pitching Of Watson for the leagucrs
and the hitting of Childers. Watson
struck out 20 men and Childc:s, out
cf four times up. secured three three
DaEgcrS. any one of which would have
been stretched into home runs IL the
league season had opened
The y. NJ. &. a. boys played good
ball but they were handicapped by
the fact that their team was disorgan-
lied and several vacancies had to be
filled with borrowed players.
lf Anderson goes into the proposed
Piedmont league with club ranking
, equal in all respects with some of
yesterdays playing this team will be
found among the top notchcrs before
one week of playing has passed. The
hcme aggregation looked good
1t is said around the circuit that the
season positively will open Monday.
regardless OF whether there is fourth
town in the league by that date and
If this course Is pursued Anderson will
! be ready TO send her bunch out on tho
opening day. With a few weak places
filled the Anderson bunch will have
a good show at the rag and will rank
we'll with any club In the association.
1t is said that Legs" Martin has
corrralled husky bunch of collcgiaus
! and has them In Spartanburg now
ready to open the season and Stoucll
Is supposed 10 have team in Green
Vile, ready for the field Anderson
is certainly but little way behind
and this town will give a good ac-
count of herself
1t is now question or whether
Gaffney or Union will get the vacant
berth in the league. Gaffncy has the
refusal OF the place and Union will
have no chance unless Gaffney refuses
to enter. In that event, it is said that
+. one Union fan Is ready to finance the
entire venture and put club into

way there is to be baseball of some
sort in Anderson this year and that
will be cause for rejoicing among the
local enthusiasts.
