TWO ron LOCALS.
Fort Mn Takes Pair Of Holiday
Games From Aracon.


Hustling all the way through,
Fort Mill Monday won pair of
baseball games from Aragon mill
OF Rock Hill, the first, the morn
ing game, on the home grounds,
z to 2, and the afternoon game in
Rock Hill, z to 8. Interest in
both contests was about as warm
as the rays of Old Sol and not
until the last man was down late
In the afternoon did either team
relax its Efforts to bring home the
bacon. The two teams had
played four hard fought games
during the season and the result
OF the contests of the Fourth was
looked upon as establishing for
the time being at least the pre-
miership between them.
In the morning contest Fort
Mill got away handily, thanks to
the pitching of Andral Ferguson,
who let the visitors down with
three scattered hits, and the time
ly stick work of his coconspira
tors in piling up IL safe swats.
AS has become regular part of
their performance! in all recent
games, Wilburn Ferguson and
Douglass. Minis put on batting
exhibition that was alone worth
the price of admission, the form
er connecting twice with Bakers
delivery while Douglass had the
scorer put down a trio for him.
The other members of the Fort
Mill team divided six hits be-
tween them.
The fans We're so well pleased
with the quality of the morning
game that many of them accom-
panied the team to Rock Hill for
the afternoon contest on Aragon IS
lot.
The Aaragon boys jumped out
In front with two runs Early in
the second game and regularly
sent Fort Mill up Salt creek for
four innings with Greenville
lad doing mound duty for them.
Then, in the fifth inning, things
took sudden turn for Fort Mill.
With Rodgers on third and Eu-
gene Ferguson on second wiping
the perspiration from his face
with cigarette paper, Wilburn
Ferguson came up and got sin
gle that put both across.
Aragon braced up in the sixth
and again showed Fort Mill the
way by counting one more-their
last, by the way. But with the
bases crowded for Fort Mill in
the seventh, Douglass Minis came
along and hung up two-bagger
that registered Hunter, tWilburn
Ferguson and Doe Kimbrell; aud
In the eighth, Sam Rodgers, not
to be outdone, laid up against
one of the Greenville boys best
and for his pains landed on third,
two Fort Mill men having moan
while got their wind after cross-
ing the home station. Thus end
wv thC d1tSIEtOOfs CoIitCHs, W -
IN favor of Fort Mill.
Notwithstanding the fact that
he already had pitched the morn
ing game for his club, and won it,
Andral Ferguson again took up
the burden in Rock Hill Monday
afternoon and for the second
time curing the day sent Araroa
down to defeat. Eleven hits
were made off his delivery in
the afternoon game, bur shc.'
well scattered and consequently
produced only three runs, Fort
Mill meanwhile humping the OPP
posing pitcher for l3 safeties.
Features of the afternoon con
test for Fort Mill were the field
ing of Doc Kimbrell and the bat
ting of Dolelass l;;ims and Will
burn Ferguson, the latter being
awarded cash prize for his ex-
ccllent stick work OF The day.

the Virgin Islands to know more about
the United States and 20 love their new

greatest service they could render
would be 10 supply books for public

books on the islands telling about
America, and there were no free libra.

opened In the city of ST. Thomas and

DOING OUR NOBIEsT.

following from the Guaranty News OF

the subject very thoroughly and sue
cinctly, u seems 10 me:
It's doing your job the best you can,
And bcing Just TO your fellow man;
It's making money. but holding friends
And staying true Ia your aims and ends
It's figuring how and learning why.
And looking forward and thinking high
And dreaming little and doing much,
It's keeping always In closest touch
with what In finest In word and deed
IT'S being thorough. yet making speed
It's daring blithcly the field Of chance
While making labor n brave romance:
It's going onward despite defeat.
And fighting s,aunchly. but keenlnu

It's laughing lightly nj Dame Dcsnair.
