Another matter settled last night
was tho righ' to the services Of Man.
ager Guy Gunter. Sumter stood pat
on her claim which has been confirm.
ed by Secre tary Farrell. Rock Hill
conterasd that Gcnter having accept.
ed proposition to manage that team
became Rock Hills property. To this
was added another complication-an
agreement between Sumter and Cam
den for tho sale Of Guntcr to that
town in the event Camden gained adj
mission to the league. Camden in
sisted on the right to exercise this op-
ton and the issue was then between
Rock Hill and Camden. The repre-
sentattves of these towns spent more
than an hour discussing tho matter
before ar agreement was arrived a.:
by which Camden resigned her claims
In favor of Rock Hill. This put it up
to Rock Hill to purchase Gunter's re-
lease CIR abandon the idea of securing
hiih dS manager.
An agreement was soon reached by
which Gunter was released to Rock
Hill. the consideration being 500.
The money was paid with a protes.
attached. however. and Secretary Far
rell will be asked by Rock Hill 70 re-
open the matter and make a ruling
on the showing to be made.
This means that Sumter will get
500 for Gunter, for there can be no
question Of the fact that he had &C
cepted terms with Sumter and had
been acting as manager, in the mat.

the season. The Pennant Winners
should have a pennant.

with Atlanta was batted out Of the
box in two innings in a game with
New York, but showed up we'll against

Mcdonald, lost with Darlington and
Florence, is also having a tryout with
Atlanta and made good in game
against Macon.
News from Orangeburg Is that the
baseball fans there are becoming faint
hearted and may not be represented
in the State League this season. This
is bad news for heretofore Orange.

The South Carolina State League
Will begin the season of 1908 on May
18th with four teams. the towns con-
stituting the league this season being
Orangsburg, Sumter, Chester and
Rock Hill. This was positively decided

Guilty about forming six-club league.
Florence not only promised to put out
a team this season, but at the close OF
the last season paid the amount nec-
essary to retain the franchise and In
sure protection under the national
agreement during the season Of 1908.
But recently the officers Of the State
league have heard nothing from
Florence, not even an acknwledg-
ment of the notice Of The reorganiza-
ton meeting, and there has been no
explanation offered for the forfeiture
Of the franchise.
At the meeting last night Mr.. w.

Mr.. Wilson, Sumter by Mr.. A. d. Har.

Sumter and Camden by Mr.. Alexan-

manent by the confirmation Of the
election Of the old officers. The adj
mission Of Camden was held in abcy-
ance, as has been stated. until 1t can
be ascertained whether or not a sixth
town can be found to put out team.
1t was decided that the season shall
open on May II and continue until
II games are played. The schedule
was referred to President Smith with
power to act, the acceptance of the
schedule approved by him being OBJ
