"Some of us take adversity in broken doses, and others take it at one full swoop, but we are all due to get it." Tiiumonif 'Dos i Ed. Note: A new "depart ment" inaugurated and edited by Me:-.srs. Milliard and Mizelle. Their motto seems to lie "malice 'towards none and criticism for all" and we believe the "Dia mond Dust will be enjoyed by tin' fans of the whole community. "Preacher's" head-work was a factor in Patterson's Mills' victor, last Saturday. Snotherly pitches ('lass A Pall, but fields like Class Z. Edwards has pulled off some classy plays :it second. "Rat" is a good 'short stop, hut holds the ball too long, i One safe hit would lxntst Ben nett's hatting average aliout 100 per cent. I Gordon's fielding is spectacu lar, but his base running could he improved. Floyd has proven to be a good catcher-the only man trying to steal second on him going out by a good two yards. Hughes showed great form in Saturday's game, when he let , Rosemary's hard hitting first I baseman down with three strike outs. Mayes didn t seem to get into form in Saturday's game. Smith, alter a few days ab sence, returned to the game Sat urday and banged out a double, scoring one. The work of Milliard at second is brilliant, ami there is no doubt but that he has the ability to make good in fast company. That's going to be some game Saturday. A Poor Excuse The game between Roanoke I Mills and Littleton, Friday af ! lernoon on t he local diamond I was one of the worst seen here j this season. The most noticable lealures o t he game were a sen sational catch by Perkins, of Littleton, who ran from short to about twenty yards beyond the foul line making the catch with one hand, ('hero's pitching, holding the visitors down to three hits, and Floyd's umpiring. Roanoke Mills played the worse ball of the season, making some twelve or fifteen errors together with bone-headed base running, which was responsible for their losing the game. The score: Lit tleton (1, Roanoke Mills 5. Batteries for Littleton: Wilson, Perkins and Harrison. Roanoke Mills: Cherry and Pureell.
