town. Let's remove all stagnant wa

to clean up his own premises where
necessary, and where he won't do II,
let's resort to the process Of law to
inake him do it. Let's do what We can
to preserve the health Of the people.

able brand of baseball, 4orkvllle ana
Clover High schools played twelve
inning game resulting in n 90 score
and which had to be called at the end
of the twelfth on account OF darkness
on the graded school diamond here
Tuesday afternoon. The outstanding
star of the best high school game
played on the local lot in years was
Worth Youngblood, Yorkville High
school pitcher who hurled the entire
A. hn n
parently as strong in the last frame
as he was in the first, letting the visi-
tors down with three hits. The veter-
an Johnny Walker and "Slim" Killian,

about as good as John, were the slab
men for the visitors, Killian who
pitched the first nine innings being
relieved by Walker after the game had
started into extra innings. The locals
secured only one hit off Killian while
Johnny Walker had practically all Of
them tanning the air. 1t was 4 great
game from Il fielding point of view

of Yorkville and Glover from begin
ming to end The tie between the two
teams will be played off sometime in
the near future-probably at Glover.
Batteries: Yorkvillc: Youngblood and

interest nightly in baseball in the

rractice possible, confident now that
they have a chance to win place in
the standing of teams in the Catawba
High School Athletic association. The |
result Of the game was quite sur
prise-a surprise to Glover and sur
prise to Yorkville. Having beaten |
everything they had been up against, |
the Glover team did not regard York
Vile as a serious rival and the locals |
what Clover had, didn't eX-
pect that they would be able to interest |
them to any great extent. AS it turn |.
ed out, however, the locals played as
good n game as did the visitors and
proved to themselves that they are
really pretty good while the Glover
ourch, like the good sports they are,
readily admitted it. Glover has play
81 three games, won two and tied one.
