feat Six Mile Academy of PickenS, at
baseball before the Glover High can
become contender for the state high
school baseball championship. The
game with Six Mile academy will prob
ably be staged the latter part of this
week at Wofford college athletic field,
SDartantug. The winner Of this
game meets the strongest high school
team from down state at Columbia,
probably next week for the state high
championship. OF course Glover is
counting strong on defeating Six-Mile
academy, and it Is quite likely that a.
large number of Glover fans will go to
spaftanbprg for, ting game. In the
event that Glover defeats the other
strong ,up-state contender, a special
train will be. operated from Glover to
Columbia and return to carry the Clo-
vcr fans and those, from other towns
in this section to Columbia. That
train, however, is dependent upon Clo-.
ver's winning over SixMilc. The
Southern railway. requires q guaran-
tee of sf0O for operating the train
from Glover to Columbia and conf
dence is expressed A2re that suffi-
cicnt number can be persuaded TO go
to make up the guarantee If Glover
has the opportunity. If Glover wins 1t
is proposed to sell tickets for the CO.
lumbia trip at 81 for adults and 81 for
children.
