That midnight excursion from the
Gamecock stronghold deposited the
hundred odd citizens of the Palmetto
State in town just in time to witness
the Pathfinders feat of knocking the
wadding out of their nine athletes for
the second consecutive time.
A major portion of the populace of
the Carolina capital took several days
off from its job to run down this way
and to see 1.-The boys" play ball o. X
Some discussion arose as to whether
the leading spirit in the visiting root
ers band was EbeneZer Watson, COM
missioner of agriculture. 1t might not
have been Edible, but it was killing
likeness. Anyway this likeness of Eb-
bic was surrounded by a half dozen
young farmers in hay field regalia, and
all that was needed to make the scene
a typical day of "a match game OF
baseball between Lewiedale and SAL
ly's" was the presence of the Beaver
pond brass band tearing off chunks of
'Hiawatha" in true Willow Grove
style.
Those young men with Edible, or his
second, stuck to the lemonade tub with
brief .intermissions. Mr.. S. Robey, our
urbane and gentlemanly baseball ca
terer, is sorry now he didn't make pink
lemonade, for he thinks the six hollow
young farmers Would have cleaned
him out.
There was but one serious accident
during the game, and that was when
the Social Favorite hit the pipe in
the sixth. Holmes sent up a high fowl
that came down in the front row of
the stand. and landed in one of Eb-
bie's friends pipe. He was standing
UP making gestures at the time and
when the ball struck the pipe explod-
ed and filled the bosom of Ebbie's
friends first day shirt with smoke
and clinkers. 1t made the crowd
laugh when he asked the umpire to
put him out.
Denny Shea had prepared for the oc-
casion of the coming of the boys
from up home, O. X. When he per-
IOIillEu PAL iAbNS SUM
eral of his admirers in the top rows
would make a noise much like stage
thunder, on which occasions Denny
looked up and winked. In three times
at bat Denny made three navy yard
home runs. and the fellows in the
stand forgot to peel out the stage
thunder. There are times, when these
mechanical effects are not needed, be-
ing de trop, as it were.
All of fhaca incidents prn with the
game.
Was n Pitchers Battle.
Cornet blew his horn defantly at
Thatcher when he started to play, and
throughout the Jersey 'skeeter was a
puzzler. The six lemonade soaked
farmers remarked that "Cornet GER
tainly was a daisy, and could blow his
own horn, o. X" But all the same,
the little Jerseyman played on MulTs
wind and left but two safeties against
his record. Thatcher cross-fred and
straightfred. He was also fired with
the noble desire for victory. A trio of
scattered safeties we're all that he
would allow. Grant was also alfred
glad when the strenuous contest was
over.
1t may salve the tail-end heroes
some TO first relate their individual
exploits. At the first crack out of
the box Mccarthy smothered with one
hand a rip-snorter from B. Oyler of
Blatsburg, Nd. and threw him out In
the fourth with two on bases, Kuhn
asked the populace TO please excuse
his back while he strolled into right
held and caught fiy ball and saved
fast gent at second from going to
third.
Daniel Webster Burt emitted a few
sparks in the second. With one man
out d. w. b. raced across the dim
horizon like a bounding gazelle, and
with his bald hand plucked a burning
ay from Jerry Mccarthy of Paris,
Tex. Without doubt that was the
GREATEST bald handed catch ot the sea-
