FOURTH OF JULY
BASEBALL GAMES
Spindale's Fourth of July features
were two ball games between a picked
team composed of Spindale and For
est City against Sulphur Springs
team; one game at 10 o'clock Satur
day morning and one at 3:30 in the
afternoon. An unusually large crowd
was in attendance at both games.
The morning affair resulted in a
ten-inning game with a score of 4-5
in favor of Sulphur Springs. Lancas
ter, for the visitors, and Simmons for
the locals, were in their best pitching
mood, and both played a wonderful
game. A few errors in the final in
ning decided the game in favor of
Sulphur Springs. Setzer, Spindale's
lead-off man got two two-baggers and
a single out of five times up, while
Lancaster, Sulphur Springs' heavy
hitter, got three two-base hits out
of five times at bat. Simmons struck
out twelve men and Lancaster six?
while each man walked one. Hits off
Simmons, 9; Lancaster, 11. Batter
ies: Spindale, Simmons, Setzer; Sul
phur Springs, Lancaster, Blake.
The afternoon game opened with
a slugging match by the locals. Five
runs were scored off as many hits, in
the first two innings. "Red" Cole,
pitching for the visitors, left the box
in the fourth. The poor support of
his team mates, up to this time, was
largely responsible for this. Lancas
ter, who had won the ten-inning
morning game, was called' in, and
held his opponents down well. The
heavy hitter of the game was Yelton,
Spindale, three hits out of four times
up.

BAND NOTES
Two recent acquisitions to the
Spindale Band are Mr. A. J. Hamrick,
clarinet and Mr. Hugh Hill, snare
drum. The band is fortunate in se
curing both. Mr. Hill is one of the
best snare drummers in this section,
and was formerly a member of the
organization. Mr. Hamrick is second
chair man in the clarinet section and
is adding much to that department.
It was with regret that the Band
accepted the verbal resignation of
Mr. R. M. Hill last Thursday evening.
Mr. Hill begun with the band as a
charter member, and has been an old
stand-by in the bass section. About
two months ago he was taken ill with
Bright's disease, hence the resigna
tion.
LOCAL HAPPENINGS
Mr. Alton Grose, who has been
pitching for the Charlotte Knitters
in the Twilight League, is home for

FARMING AND BUSINESS
The Agricultural Department at
Washington is figuring out a fairly
prosperous Fall season for the farm
er. It expects a strong livestock mar
ket and "fair food crops," with
good returns from wheat and cotton.
This will bring the farmer out of
1925 in better shape than he has
known "in most of the years since
1919." There is a good prospect for
all "the main crops" except wheat.
There is a substantial balance in both
livestock and crops, and this is taken
as tribute to "the readjustments
made by the American farmers since
the Fall of 1921." And the interp
retation of that is that the American
farmer has been making steady prog
ress in attainment of the standard of
the business man.
