Baseball Tomorrow

The Union Mill ball team will play
the fast Buffalo team tomorrow at the
City park. Play will start promptly
at a p. m.
1t is reported that Dagenhardt of
Shelby will pitch for Buffalo, although
this is not official. Jameson of the
Greenville Textile Circuit, will pitch
for Union. This should turn out to
be the best game seen on the local
diamond this season as both teams
have enviable records and are pretty
evenly matched! Some predict that it
will be pitchers battle. If so, it will
have to be good game.
Granny" Cudd will be one of the
umpires and if another as satisfactory y
can be found it should not be neces-
sary to halt play any whatsoever over
decisions, as has happened often in
past games.

Undergoes Serious Operation

Mrs. Lewis M. Rice was operated
on yesterday afternoon in the Wal
lace Thomson hospital. Since Satur-
DAY she had been ailing and yester-
day, upon consultation between Ter
physician, DR.. j. G. Going, and DR..
Steedly, 1t was deemed imperative
that the operation be performed. This
was done at o'clock yesterday after
noon. She rallied from the operation
and appears to be making fine prog
ress towards recovery. The operation
was to remove tumor from the
pelvic cavity. For several years, OF
intervals of several r.. ,nths she had
suffered an attack of NOR. or less vio-
lent nature, and the physicians finally
decided the trouble required an opera
ton. The patient, as we go &c press,
seems to be steadily gaining, and is
thought to show excellent chance of
speedy recovery.

the way South, Mr.. Loree asserted
The first detail was said to be en-

Shipments Of men were "assumed'
by the Eastern leaders to be en- route
also from Chicago and other Western
labor centers to locomotive and car
&ops at division points of the four
