Broke Up Both Games In Pied. |.
mont League Yesterday-An-
derson at Home T Tomorrow {

Gafney and Spartanburg both .ex-
perienced heavy rainfall yesterday
afternoon about 3 o'clock, which caua-
ed the games to be played in the Pied
mont league yesterday. Greenville
was scheduled to play at Gaffney and
Anderson at Spartanburg.
The two teams will play in these
same towns today and then tomorrow
the Anderson team will come home to
play Thursday, Friday and Saturday
with Spartanburg. Next Monday
Greenville will come here for three
games.
1t Is understood that Manager Nc
Coll yesterday materially strengthen
ed the Anderson club by signing SOME
new players. Mobly will come home
with the locals as a catcher, Hough
will be found on shortstop and new
outfielder has been secured In the per-
son Of White, McColl says that the
Anderson team to be seen in Thurs
days game will be so per cent better
than 1t was In the series with Gaffney.
George Rice is spending this week
in working out and getting himself in
good shape and he may be picked to
hurl the opener against Spartanburg.
the opening game. as McAllister will
probably pitch for Anderson this afr
ternoOn.
The locals will probably win the ex-
hibition in Spartanburg today and
then 1t is fairly safe to assert that
the home hopes can cop two of three
from the Spartans on the home
grounds during the last three days OF
the week.
