COLUMBIA CLAIMS RICHARDSON

However Lucky Twirler is On Sum.
ter's Reserved List for Next Season.
The following will be read with in
terest here:
Secretary Gibbes Of the Columbia
ball club gave out the information
Thursday that Pitcher Sam Richard
son had been signed by Columbia for
1908.
Sam Richardson is a South Caro-
lima boy and Charleston is his home.
IN 1906 he was signed by Guy Cum
ter for the Camden State league team.
He pitched fine ball for Camden, lead
ing the pitchers. in the State league
and it was said at the close Of the
season that his fine work contributed
largely to Camden's winning the PEN
nant.
The past season found him with
Guy Gunter at Sumter. He pitched
21 games. won 10 games and lost IL,
with a percentage Of 476. He batted
2OS and fielded 91S in "a games, play
Ing other positions than his own in
l3 games. He again finished with a
iennant winning team. AS told in
The State few days ago he pitched
few games for Columbia and Char
lesion toward the close of last season
and went on the transforming trip
with Ed Ransick's bunch Of South At
lantic leaguers and pitched good ball
In the games played in North Carolina
and Virginia.
He is fine fielding pitcher besides
having a good assortment of benders.
curves and speed. He should make
good in the South Atlantic league un-
der any manager that knows how to
handle young pitchers. That's ALL
The State.
However, Richardson is on sum-
ter's reserved list and this was allow
cd by Secretary Farrell If Columbia
gets him for next season some ar
rangement would undoubtedly have
to be made with the association of
this city.

There was a fast and stubbornly
contested game of football Thursday
morning at the league park. The
Sumter team and the Carolina
scrubs" gave a pretty exhibition of
the great glI,liron game and the
rather small crowd of spectators thor
oughly enjoyed it.
The halves played were only fifteen
minutes each. Guy Gunter refereed
and gave general satisfaction. Lee
and Phelps were time-keepers and
Duffy and Sheppard were line-men.
In the first half the Sumter team
showed up we'll and held the ball
In Carolina's territory nearly the
whole time. Neither side scored.
In the second half, Habenicht for
Carolina caught the ball just under
the goal, when Walsh attempted to
kick goal from the field, and ran the
entire length of the gridiron for a
touchdown. Carolina failed to kick
goal and the score stood 5 to O in the
visitors favor. A few minutes later
Cti"!ina scored a safety or Sumtc,'
