I Glover, Aug. S-Inability to hit But
Ter Cook, genuine pitching ace and al
most outclassed, the Ranlo baseball
team, amateur champions of North
Carolina were easy meat for the Clo-
yer "Town Rounders" Saturday after
noon on Hawthorn Field, the locals
winning to 0. The outstanding fea-
lures of that game which was wit
messed by 1000 fans from Clover,
YorBville and Kings Mountain and
Bethel townships was the mastery
pitching and the great hitting Of the
aforesaid Mr.. Butler Cook who halls
from the town of Newton in the state
of North Carolina and a great one
handed shoe string stab by Center
Fielder Hope Cook of Glover which
prevented Ranlo from scoring.
Pitcher Cook allowed only four hits
and struck out fifteen even.r He got a
single and home run, the homer go
ing over the right center field fence
when there were two runners on. In
cidentally, 1t was the longest ball hit
on Hawthorn Field since the park was
built. So pleased were the fans that
they paid Mr. Cook s1s for the blow.
Hope Cooks catch of shoe string
that would almost surely have been
good for a homer had he missed was
rewarded by purse Of 1851 from
the fans.
Much of the credit for the winning
of the game is due to "Rube' Agnew,
Clover Yorkville catcher. Cooks trou-
BILE heretofore has been his inability
to get a catcher to. hold him. But
Miss Aggie" Agnew had the goods
and when his fast ones entered the
nit they stuck 1t was a great 'exhi-
bition of proper receiving and the
stock OF the "Rube" is now higher
than ever with the Glover fans.
Spargo started hurting for Ranio;
but he was batted over the lot and
the mighty "Chief" Costner reputed TO
be one of the best pitchers In North
Carolina went in. He Jared no bet
ter. Saturdays game is the third the
Chief has lost out Of Stwenty -hye
pitched this season. -
Saturdays defeat marks the fourth
loss of the season for Ranlo out OF
twenty-six games played,

Back from Hunt. ~"
Messrs. r. B. and Joe s. Riddle OF
Clover No. 2 ana several friends from
CASTOR county returned Saturday
morning from Bladenboro, N. c.,
where they spent several days fox
hunting. They had good luck and a
great time, catching three foxes the
| first day out.
Parker Sells Out.
c. L. Parker of Jonesville who pur-
chased the plantation supply business
of J. f. Pursey here more than a year
ago has sold his store to Clyde Faris
of Glover No. 4. Mr.. Parker has not
announced his future plans but Clo-
yer people are hopeful that he will re-
main here.
Need for Potato House.
In all probability potato house
with storage capacity Of at least g.
900 bushels will be built at Glover this
fall. Need for it was never greater
than will be the need this fall and
some sort of storage plant for potatoes
has just got TO be. People well in
formed say that farmers of the Glover
community have been giving more at
tention to cultivation of sweet pota-
toes this year than they have in years.
Arthur Quinn, we'll known farmer liv-
ing here has ten acres in potatoes.
Starr n. Stacy has several acres In
potatoes and there are other farmers
that have large patches. The potato
crop is looking good just now and
farmers are expecting a big yield.
The Swimming Pool.
| Inc clover swimming poOl 10 SiO"-
ing in popularity. Each afternoon and
every night during the week there are
many swimmers both men and women
| in the pool Lots of little toddlers
have learned to swim since the pool
was built. Chief OF Police John Jack
son has a son, little over six years
old who can almost outswim his faith
er. ITS a great thing for the kiddies
this swimming pool" said the chief
the other day. Just throw 'em in
there and make 'em swim. They will
soon come to it." Several swimmers
however have been suffering from
bealed ears as result of too much
diving in the pool, the theory being
that water gets into the ears and
causes them to beal. One youngster
has found it necessary to consult
Gastonia specialist several times re-
Gently on this account.
