Patterson Mills VS. Rosemary

A half hearted, one sided,
wholly uninteresting game. Big
Snotherly's arm was sore from
the affects of his strenuous pitch
ing against Suffolk on last We'd
nesday and league was put in
the box for the Patterson Mills.
leagues pitching was nothing
like as bad as his support. Rose
mary got six hits off him in the
seven innings played but all of
them were scattered and there
was only one earned run made
(sixth inning.) Thirteen errors
were made by the Patterson Mills
team in the six innings they play
ed in the field.
Bland for Rosemary pitched a
much better game than he did
against Roanoke Rapids - allow
ing only two hits. At only one
time during the game did the
Patterson Mills get as far as
third base. The game was call
ed at the end of the Patterson
Mills half of the seventh in or
der to allow the game between
Roanoke Rapids and Roanoke
Mills to proceed.
The features of the game were
Bland's pitching, Gilliland's hit
ting and the jail round work of
Towe for the Patterson Mills.
The work of Snotherly on Sc
cond and Fits on third proved
particularly disastrous for the
Patterson Mills team.

Board Of Governors Of Roanoke
Valley League Rescinded
Eligibility Rule

At a special meeting of the
Board of Governors of the Roa-
noke Valley League held in the
office of DR.. T. w. M. Long on
Monday morning at eleven
O'Clock, it was decided to sus-
pend all rules in regard to the
eligibility of players participating
in league games for the remain
der of the season.
This action was taken after
mature deliberation. At the
beginning of the League, the in
tention was to have strictly an
amateur organization. After
the season started, however, first
one team and then another de-
parted from the amateur class
until now none of the four teams
are strictly amateur ball teams.
The Board of Governors con-
sidered that it was too late in the
season to restore the teams to
an amateur basis, and it was de-
cided to finish the league on the
present basis, to rescind all ELI
gibility rules except that apply
ing to transfers of players from
one team to another (which can
only be Done by consent Of both
teams) and to allow all Of the
teams to play any outside players
they can get, regardless Of ELI
gibility.

Roanoke Mills VS. Roanoke Rapids

Unquestionably the fastest
played, most exciting, and
closest game played on the
League Ground this season, the
whole nine frames being played
through in l:1S.
Pace and Hughes both pitched
splendid games, an equal num-
ber of hits being gotten off of
both. While Pace famed more
men than did Hughes, he was
unable to keep his hits as well
scattered through the frames as
did Hughes.
Roanoke Rapids scored one
run, right at the start of the
game. Daniel, first at bat,
singled, stole second. Hilliard
famed. Hayes sacrificed, ad-
vancing Daniel to third. Hughes
came to bat with a two base hit,
scoring Daniels. Zollicoffer next

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR
In Roanoke Rapids Saturday Morn
ing. Albert Smith Shot and
Seriously Wounded bv Aleck
Campbell. Row Started Over
a Chicken.

On last Saturday morning what
came very near being a tragedy
was precipitated by an altercation
over a chicken.
Aleck Campbell, nineteen
years old and apparently not ex-
traordinary bright, went over to
the residence of Mrs. C. C. Cook,
who lives on Bunker's Hill, early
Saturday morning to see about
one of his mothers chickens
which he claimed had been killed
by Mrs. Cook. After some alter
cation, Mrs. Cook paid him for
the chicken and he started away
from the house.
AS he started to leave some
one of a group of boys standing
in the yard asked him how he
knew the chicken belonged to his
mother. A hot argument en-
sued, during which Campbell
drew his pistol, which he stated
he had carried with him as he
expected trouble, and fired point
blank at Albert Smith. He fired
a second shota few seconds later
which struck the ground at his
feet. Campbell claims the Sc
cond shot was fired by accident.
An examination of the pistol
showed that only two of the
chambers had cartridges in them.
Campbell left shortly after the
shooting and started up town.
He was met about half way by
Chief Baird and placed under
arrest. He made no resistance.
Smith was taken as soon as
possible after the shooting to the
Roanoke Rapids Hospital. Ex-
animation showed that the bullet
had entered his breast and lodged
in the base of his left lung. His
condition for a while was regard
ed as extremely serious but
latestreports state that he is get
ting along nicely and will pro-
badly soon recover.
Campbell, through his attorney,
waived preliminary hearing Sat-
urday and was committed to
Halifax Jail until the August
term of the Superior Court under
five thousand dollars bond.
Eight persons witnessed the
shooting and the statements of
the majority of them agree that
the shooting was absolutely un-
justified. Campbell claims that
he acted in self defense and
states that he retreated several
feet after he had drawn his
pistol and made repeated requets
to Smith not to advance upon
him.

Shute---Brown

Mr.. Fred Macon Shute, of
Roanoke Rapids, and Miss Mary
Dare Brown, of Williamson,
were married in Wilson on last
Sunday evening. The marriage
was quite a surprise to all of Mr..
Shute's friends in Roanoke Rap
ids, the first intimation of the
marriage coming to even his
closest friends here with the
published account in the News
& Observer.
Mr.. Shute left Roanoke Rapids
last Saturday evening on one of
his periodical visits to Williams
ton, his friends never dreaming
that anything out of the ordinary
was being planned. The follow
ing extract from the Williams
ton Enterprise, however, sheds
additional light on the subject:
Among the surprises which
WILLIAMSON has had in the mat
rimonial line for the past few
days, was the marriage of Miss
Mary Dare Brown and Mr.. Fred
Macon Shute on Sunday night at
Wilson. Mr.. Shute arrived here
Saturday night to visit Miss
Brown to whom he has been en-
gagged for months, and the mar
riage was being arranged to take
place in October, but Sunday af-
ternoon they decided to let the
little blind god have his way,
and so they in company with
Mrs. ]. B. Hopkins and Mr.. Ver-
non Langley, uncle of the bride,
went to Wilson on the latter's
car, and at ten O'Clock that even
ing were married, Rev. Mr..
Chambliss, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, officiating.
Monday evening they arrived
here and went to the home of
the bride. Tuesday morning,
Mr.. Shute left for Roanoke Rap
ids, where he is employed and
Mrs. Shute will follow him in a
few days.
The bride, who is the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
uel S. Brown, is one of the most
attractive Of the younger women
in the town and has a host of
friends here and elsewhere who
wish her happiness in the new
life, which she has entered. For
the past year she has been stu
dent at the East Carolina Train
ing School.
"lIr. Snute is we'll known here
where he has lived several years,
having been manager of the En-
terprise Publishing Company.
Since January he has been with
the Roanoke Rapids Herald and
is winning success in his new
field of labor. Friends here
warmly congratulate him upon
his good fortune both in business
and marriage. "
Mr.. Shute is foreman of the
Herald's Office and is a young
man of exceptional ability and
promise. He has made many
friends since he has been here
and they and the Herald's en-
tire staff wish for him and his
bride all prosperity and happi-
ness.
Mrs. Shute is in Williamson
with her people, but will come
to her new home in Roanoke
Rapids the carry part of next
week.
