4 GOOD RECORD GONE.
NOT THE FIRST ONE SMASHE.D D
By SUMTER.
COlumbia's Undcfeated Team Swamp
ed by the Game Cocks by Score of
) O. Chandlcr's Pitching Fcatur-
ed the Contest. Some Of the De-
tails OF the Game.

The brag team Of the University
High School, of Columbia that came
to Sumter with a clean record, not
having been defeated this season, re-
turned to the Capital City walloped
The little Game Cocks of the Sum-
ter High School, with Chandler on the
firing line, shut out the visitors by
score Of 5 to 0. 1t was a rather
slow game, but there were some bril-
liant flashes that made the spectators
look up and take notice, and several
innings were played in big league
style. The greatest drawback to
the game was the wranglng of the
visitors over a decision of Umpire
Jones, which delayed the game for
nearly ten minutes. The kick was
unwarranted, and unsportsmanlike.
Chandler was again the big lumi-
nary. He was there with the benders
and the twisters, with the result that
one or more Of the visitors was sent
to the bench without connecting with
the ball in every inning but two, and
altogether ten visitors famed du-
ring the nine sessions. Chambers
cool head and his remarkable ability
to work his best with the sacks oc-
cupied prevented any securing by the
Columbia boys. The entire team sup
ported him beautifully, and nearly
every man on the team pulled off at
least one star play during the game.
For the visitors Duncan pitched we'll,
but he allowed hits to be punched and
gave them up at bad times with the
result that the runs came. Hornsby
played four positions in the infield
for Columbia, and held his men to-
gether, when first baseman Harth
wanted to break up the contest by
quitting. The base running of the
visitors was a decided feature.
In the opening inning, JONES' first
up, walked, and was advanced to sec
ond on Dicks we'll placed sacrifice. He
scored a minute later on Monaghan's
singing drive to left field.
The game was cinched in the fifth.
Four hits by Nigles, Dick, Monagh-
an and Duffie, coupled with three err
rors netted the home team three
runs. Three of the hits came with
two men down, and the locals took
desperate chances on bases with Old
Good Fortune running their end of
the line. A passed ball enabled Jones
to score in the seventh, giving Sum-
ter total of five runs.
The trouble with the visitors came
in the seventh. Krepps led off with
single. Rion was safe when Moore
muffed his easy chance to left field.
Duncan filled the sacks on Chand-
ler's error, and things looked bad with
no outs. Monkton, next up, was a
victim to Chambers curves. Mar
shall made brilliant catch of Sims
difficult foul chance near the play-
ers bench, on which play Krepps tried
to score from third. He failed to
tag the sack after the catch, and be-
fore starting for the plate, and was
called out by Umpire Jones. The UNI
pire was entirely correct in his de-
cision, and the visitors knew it, and
thought that they would run over
the locals by putting up a bluff of
quitting. After making a very dis
graceful spectacle, they saw that the
bluff would not work, and the game
was continued. The visitors never
again had a show to score.

r. II. E.
Sumter: 100 030 100 5. 6. 3.
