iVoatylTania Sunday School Wor
kers To Hold Convention In, Bre-
' Tard Baptist Ckurck.
Since going to press last week,
there have been many new devejol>-
ments in the league ball coatrover-
aey.
Canton withdrew from the league
last week after playing a game with
Hendersonville, which they claim was |
awarded to Hendersonville by unfair
methods. Then president Brooks de>
dared the season closed with Render- -
sonville the winer of the second half
of the season. Canton, Asheville and
Brevard protested and a meeting of
the club directors was called to meet i
in Hendersonville last Thursday
night. All of the elubs were repres
ented ^ith the exception of Hender-
sonvill. President Brooks was noti-
fied to sittend this meeting, but refu
sed as did the director of the Hender-^
sonville club. I
After electing R. R. Fisher as
chairman, the directors proceeded
with the busiaess.
The game protested by Canton,
^as allowed and the game thrown
out* which left Asheville four points
ahead of H-endersonville, therefore
Asheville was declared winner of the
second half aS the season, and a sche
dule of seTeTi games was arranged to
played between Aheville and Brevard
bginning last Monday, Sept. 12, the
first two games to be played in Ashe-
vile, then two in Brevard and then
rotate until one team has won four
games.
Brevard won Monday by the score
of 4 to 2 with Bludsworth pitching.
Tuesday Ashevile won 9to 3, knock
ing Brewten out of the box in the
third inning. Gudger relieved him
and pittihed a beautiful game the re
mainder 'of the game. •
Wednesday the two clubs met on
the home field for the third .cramij of
the series.
INJUCTION
Tuesday the manager of the Hen-
dersonTTlle club, Sam Hodges, pro
cured a temporary restraining order
to pro’hfbit Asheville and Lxevard
from playing, the post-season series
of seven games. The order permits
the team^ to play until our team "has
won three games, but prohibits the
playing -of the deciding game until
after the court decides the case.
Hendersonville feels that she has
been trajusfly treated and that she
has won fhe second half of the sea
son, while Asheville and Brevard
claim that Hendersonville, by her re
fusal to be represented at the met
ing and refusing to play out the re
mainder off <£he season, forfeited her
rights the same as Canton. Unless
the temporary restraining order is
made permament or not allowed be
fore one of the teams win three
games, there will be pnly one result
and that is for Asheville and Brevard
to disband for the season, leaving the
channpjonship undecided, as neither
c "'? of the teams could afford to
ho’v ’ the tesTOs with pay until the
court rendered a decision.

^The regular meeting of the Bre

The meeting was well attended and
several things of importance was dis-
posed of. The question'of whether
we would have a county fair this fall
was discussed freely. Mr. Lindley,
the county agent, made a short talk
in which he explained that the fruit
crop was a failure, no pr^eparation
has been made to have a fair*; that We
should have begun the preparation
last June and that it was the opinion
