DALZEL VS. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
The Ball Tossers From Providence Did
More Than Interest the Knig.-s.

After three previous unsuccessful at
tempts, the Dalzell teeam at last gain
ed a victory over the Sumter ball toss
ers This time Crawford Sanders was
the Stat artist for the visitors and
Sorent1ue, .Clemson's sub. catcher,
acted as backstop. To this excellent
battery, the Dalzell team owe their
victory. Sanders struck out the
Knights with marked regularity Sor-
entrue had his wing with him, and
his beautiful throws to second base
were marked only by Scarborough's
disgraceful mGffs. Dickson for the
local was in the game from the jump:
the way he got two-baggers was very
distasteful to che visitors profession
al pitcher, and the few men who
dared to leave first base were always
doubled up at second sack. Cantey,
J., did beautiful work in the inielJ,
and the way he picked 'em up, and
sent them shooting down to the initial
sack brought terror to all who could
not get their hat out Of the diamond.
The fielding of the home team vas
very poor, and by that the visitors
were presented with q number of
scores. It was a noticeable fact that
every hit recorded in favor of the Dali
zell boys was in the outfeld; and af-
ter the fourth inning, it was not diff
cult to notice them. The Knights must
learn to use the willow, or they may
never hope to cope successfully with
any good aggregation of ball players.
The way they famed out was in ex
cusable.
The following is partial account Of
the game:
Gillespie, first up for the knights,
lead off with a clear hit between End.
and 3rd Flowers was bit by pitcher,
and is given his base: Harvin out on
Hy to lst., Durant hits hot grounder
to End. who fumbles the ball, Gillespie
scores, Durant safe at 1st-, Flowers
called out at 3rd. On Dickson's tE;o-
Dagger, Durant scores: Cantey, B.
gets safe hit to left field, which ad-.
vances Dickson to 3rd; Cuttino re-
tires the side on a gronnder to short
stop Two runs.
For Dalzeli Moore, M. and Parker
strike out; Jones goes out on groan--
der to 2nd In the second and thIrGss
fourth and fifth innings neither s.de
scores. This was playing 'em some,
and the spectators were wild with ex-
citement.
In the sixth inning the Knights
nearly scored again by the errors of
the visitors but Cantey B. ran over
3rd base, and q big round Q was again
chalke6 up on their side of the score
board.
When Dazell came to the bat this
time, they piled up three runs by the
grace Of four hits and two errors
In the seventh inning the Pythians
again failed to score, and when the
inning closed Dalzell had four more
runs to her credit. Every one was
hitting the ball, and no one seemed
able to catch tit was terrible, ano
the knights saw defeat staring them
in the face.
The Pythians pounded out one more
run in the eighth, and DalzeN failed
to score.
In the last spasm the first three men
up for the knights were retired in
short order. The game was over, and
the Pythians would not look at the
score board, because to 3 did net
look very good to them.
