four men were each given the gift
of run by being allowed to score
from third base on passed balls.
Boyd, who tossed the pills over
the pan for the Cubs, pitched a
steady game and was well supported
in critical places. Armstrong for the
Tigers went into the game with a
lame whip but pitched good ball for
two innings, when he was relieved
by Shreve. "Kentuck" went in in
the third without warming up and
though accorded poor support be-
hind the bat pitched good ball under
the circumstances.
The Cubs took the field Kemp

and third and scored on Halls wild
heave to first. Shreeve, Bowman
and Miller went out in one, two,

The mass meeting in the Opera
House Sunday afternoon In the in.
terest OF the Y. M. c. A., which It is
proposed to organize. was we'll attend
ed. not less than Ave hundred persons
being present.
The meeting was called to order BY
Mr.. S. H. Edmunds. president Of the
preliminary organization formed
sometime ago, who stated the object
OF the meeting and introduced Rev.
d. c. Huntington. Interstate Y. M.
c. A. Secretary for North and South
Carolina. Mr.. Huntington spoke in
general terms of the work of the Y.
M. c. A., the field it occupies and the
need for an association in every town
or city Of any size. He emphasized
the fact that the success of an asso.
ciation is largely dependent upon the
right start being made and that the
most necessary thing is the possession
OF a commodious and well equipped
building. He said he felt sure that
Sumter could afford to erect a build
Ing and that 1t is now up to the peo-
, pie of Sumter to say whether they
are to have an association for the
young men.
Mr.. w. B. Keys, who has had ex-
tensive experience in Y. M. C. A. work
and knows both from experience and
observation the good the Y. M. c. A..
does. was called on for a speech. He
made a brief but interesting talk
that impressed all who heard IT. that
Sumter is losing by not having an
association.
Mr.. c. Capers Smith also made
a brief address. He spoke of the de-
mand for an association that comes
from the boys and young men of the
city, the ones who need an associa-
ton, the ones who will receive the
greatest benefit.
When the meeting was dismissed
the executive committee met for a
conference with Mr.. Hungington to
map out plan Of campaign to raise
the funds for a building.
