Although Roanoke Rapids anil Roanoke Mills are now tied, Roanoke Rapids takes position alovo Roanoke Mills, as it has been our jKilicy all alone; to give preference in Misition of tied teams to the team having previously hold the highest place. An examination id' our files will convince impartial critics that our position along this line is consistent. Much assertion by over enthusiastic fans to the contrary not withstanding, we have no fav orites. We careso little as to which teams wins, that we are un willing to U subjected to much more criticism in regard to our method of handling the haiohall news and if our policy excites much more wrath, we will take pleasure in stopping all mention of games, scores or standing of teams.

Davis, Captain of the Rosemary team and Catcher, fractured his ankle in the sixth inning and ha I to be relieved, of course, for the remainder of the game. In fact, it will be several weeks before he can play again and his loss will be keenly felt by the Rose mary team. The first inning was a shut out for both sides, the batters on both teams goingout in one. two, three order. In tne second inn ing, the Patterson Mills got three Hies out to center, left and short stop in succession.

Pace was effective Saturday by lotting the Giants down with one single and four scratch hit-- Barber was the star Saturday, getting two hits both doubles and his fielding was perfect.
