"Our books show an increase of 425 per cent over the same day last year," said the manager of one or the city's largest department stores. Another, the manager of a snoe store, said that his records showed an Increase of 400 per cent over tne same day last year. The managers of two other department stores ex pressed themselves as very highly gratified at the results attained. The absence of the farmers, how ever, was very noticeable. This was due to the fact that yesterday was about the first day they had had for some time which -offered an oppor tunity to fight grass, which has got ten such a start already as to pre sent a serious proposition for them. They were "making hay" while they had the chance and the merchants all rejoiced that they had such a chance and were using it. For the benefit of the farmers, who could not come to town yesterday, several - or the stores are advertising today that they will continue their Dollar Day bargains through tomorrow. It is hoped that many will take advant age of this extension. One reason why Gastonia s first Dollar Day was a success lay In tne fact that the merchants who entered the movement gave some real genu ine bargains and the buying public recognizing them as such. So well pleased were the business men of the city generally with tne result secured that they will proDa bly have another Dollar Day later in the summer which will be participat ed in perhaps by all the business houses in town.

MYERS Active Vice-President of the Cltbens National Bank of Gastonia Who ' Wee Last Week Elected Vlce-Pree--- Idea of the American Bankers As-sociatlosw BUGS TAKE OPENING -Bl SCORE 5 TO 2 Visitors Overcome a Two-Run Lead In' the Sixth and Won Out in Yes terday's Game Ellis' Pitching Was of High Order and the Locals Were Unable to Connect Game Was Marred by Fist Fight Be tween Johnston and Kill Umpir ing of Thrash nas Exceeding! Poor. , y uastonta lost. tne opening -game yesterday with the Morganton Bugs in a game that was marred by the Justifiable objections of the local players to the umpiring of indicator handler Thrash, and the near-fight between Johnston of the local team and Ellis of the Bugs. When the curtain had been rung down on tne ninth frame and the fans had tabu lated the score, there being no offi cially appointed scores, it was dis covered that the locals had been de feated by a count of 5 to 2. The game began with a snap and for the first four innings took on tne appearance of a big league show and the fans were joyous, but their hopes were blasted in the sixth inning when the visitors bunched their hits,, one of which was a circuit clout by Burke with one on, and netted three runs. This destructive work came on the heels of an altercation between Johnston and Ellis in the preceedlng frame. With Johnston at the bat, Ellis delivered one of his speeders which Johnston thought was intend ed for his cranium and immediately reprimanded the Morganton twiner. Ellis, it seemed, didn't care to be dictated to by Mr. Johnston and ad vanced towards the batter and stat ed his position most emphatically. With the agility of a young tiger, Johnston plunged towards pitcher Ellis after throwing down his bat. Pandemonium followed and a good ball game was ruined. It only re quired 15 or 20 players, Sheriff Da vis, Chief Carroll and his cohorts. eight or ten citizens and several otn er daring friends to separate tne combatants. Uumplre Thrash was found to be neutral to the minutest detail while the war cloud was brew ing. Captain Bulwlnkle and more than a hundred militiamen were present and viewed the embryonic scrim mage from the bleachers, and were therefore given an idea of patrol duty on the Mexican border. In Gastonia s half of the fifth in ning Umpire Thrash featured with his erratic work. Thomson lined out a pretty single to right field whicn hit more than la feet within the right field foul line, being stopped by the fence near the score board. Mr. Thrash, however, hoisted his left hand and yammered "foul ball," while Manager Carver and several hundred fans became indignant. But the die had been cast and argument was useless. Mr. Thrash maintain ed his first derision as stoutly and as emphatically as did Patrick Henry in his "Give me liberty or give me death," oration. Gastonia's runs came in the third when Johnston hit to Billings, who threw wild to first after fumbling the ball, Johnston going to second. He scored a minute later when Rag- land singled past Billings. Ragland scored on another single to the same territory. The locals staged a near rally in the seventh, but Ellis tight ened and put a crimp in the festivi ties. Doyle relieved Thomson in the seventh inning and his pitching was of a creditable sort as was Thom son's, but Ellis seemingly had too much on the ball for the locals. Followed by Captain Bulwlnkle and the major portion of Company B, the Gastonia Pythian Drum Corps lead a procession to Loray Park at 3:30 o clock. Score by innings: R. H. E.

The Tigers lost the second game to the Bugs at Morganton Tuesday, 3 to 1. Evans, one of the best col lege pitchers in the, State, did the twirling for Morganton and pitched invincible ball, fanning 14 and al lowing only three safe hits. Dun can for the locals also pitched good ball but the Bugs bunched their bits in the fifth inning and managed to nose out a victory. Score by innings: R. H. E.
