speaker at Il meeting Of the Business
Mems League, of Yorkville, held at the
American Legion Club last evening.
Mr.. Finley discussed the subject Of i'm
migration and thought it would be a

number Of Scotch and English families
into the community. Following his
address he was elected an honorary
'member Of the League. The question
of the entrance of the West Road into
the county seat was discussed at some
length. The League went on record
as favoring an entrance BY the Pinck-
ney Ferry Road or the Sutton's Spring
road and the road committee was in
structed to visit the county commits
sioners and agitate one of these two
entrances. 1t was pointed out that
should the West road come by the resi-
dencc of y. S. Black and thence across
by the old Leander Parrish place to
the Kings AGOuntain road, much traf-
tic would. not come through the county
seat but would be diverted to Sharon.

The American Legion Larrupers
couldn't larrup yesterday afternoon
and Shelby won from them on the
YOrkville diamond by Score of to
/, while some 700 odd fans looked on
with disappointment. Errors and in
ability to solve Lee (SnagS) Ormand,
Shelby pitching ace won the game for
the Tar Heels. They touched Howard
McMackin for eight safeties and they
accorded Ormand great support at all
stages of the game. Hitting and field
ing of Fink, Shelby left fielder, who
has been signed by Rochester, \. y,
was the outstanding feature of the
game. The lone run of the soldiers
came in the ninth, when Saunders
walked, stole second and was advanced
to third when Hugh Ormand, Legion
second baseman registered clean
hit to left field, the only hit the Le-
gionaircs got. Phillips grounded TO
short and was thrown out at first but
Saunders scored. The game came
near ending in a row in the ninth
frame when Shelby took exception to
VIII Rudisill's touching of a Legion
runner, Rudisill being on the third
base coaching line. In this frame the
locals had Il chance to tie the score
with Il man on second and another on
third with two out. Rudisill the last
batter to face Pitcher Ormand couldn't
connect and the last ball nestled safe
" in the nit of Catcher Guriey. Bat
