Miss Hortense Harding and will return
TO the Branch Monday with his bride.
Labor day was very quiet at the
Branch, all unnecessary work was sus-
pended and many went to Augusta to
witness the exercises OF the day. The
Married and Single men played off an
other one of their games in the forenoon
which was won by the single men IS to IL.
The married men used two pitchers and
two backstops, but were unable to hold
down the scores. Some of the best play
ers of both mines were away for the day
and substitutes were used. The features
of the game were the home run by Off,
the two-baggers by Kline and Off and
triple by Merrill for the married men,
and the triple of Flaherty and the bat
ting and boxwork of Gould for the single
men. There was so much doing at times
that the scorer was unable to record all
the doings so a short score is the only
presentable evidence of the game.
