PROVE NEW PF|ESTER
Promising Southpaw Comes
to Cubs to Prove McGraw
Erred in Dropping Him.

Three years ago. when Jack Pfester
and Floyd kroh were doing business
for the Cubs, the general opinion was
that Manager Chance was well supplied
with left-handed pitchers Jack was
great against New York and good
against St Louis Floyd could almost
be depended upon to kick Boston resu-
larly.
But Phester suddenly lost his effect
iveness and Floyd's good sense went
astray about the same time Bill Fox
en- was captured in PHILADELPHIA. but
Bill didn't last long. 1t thus happened
that, almost at the beginning of the
1911 season. Manager Chance found
himself without southpaw of any
kind. He announced that he would get
along without the breed and branded
the whole tribe as unreliable and I'M
desirable.
Notwithstanding the outburst of the
r. L, he knew down in his heart thar
left-handed pitchers. good ones. had
their value, and there were times last
season when he could have used one or

.CAROLINIANS
ARE EXPECTED
TO CONE HERE
DURING The LATE SUMMER
South Carolina Society Doing.
Good Work

That Americas will again be the
Mecca this summer of a large num-
| Der of South Carolinians is the opin-
ion of several Carolinians now resid-
ing here, and who keep in touch with
affairs over in the Palmetto State.
They are coming to see the garden
spot of Georgia, of which they have
heard so much.
And with many of them it will mean
an investment here, as was the case
with many Carolinians who came to
Sumter two years ago upon pros
pecting tour. They are here yet, and
all are glad of it. Late in July or ear
ly in August is the time the crops in
Carolina are laid by, and then it IS
the farmers of that state go pros
pecting. Knowing all about Sumter
county, as they do, it is the thing
expected that they should come here
to look over the fine farms and city
homes, and become citizens of Geor-
gia.
The South Carolina club, of Sumter
county, with membership of eighty
sturdy sons of the Palmetto state, has
done excellent work since it's organ
ization three months ago in attract
ing attention of prosperous settlers to
Sumter county Themselves we'll
pleased with conditions here, they are
PREPARED to advise others.
The fact that Sumter county has
nearly one hundred South Carolinians
here, three-fourths of whom came
within the past two years, is an ex-
cellent indication of conditions here,
socially and agriculturally
Many of these newcomers have
bought productive farms and CITY
homes and are delighted with their
surroundings. Every one, so desiring. |
could resell his lands, bought two |
years ago, or even last year, at a
handsome profit, but there are no SELL |
ers among them. They are now at !!
home to stay aid aiding in Sumter's |
development They are numbered |
among the very best citizens of the |
county, every one of them,. and Sum-
ter would welcome hundreds of 9TH
ers like them. South Georgia's gates
are wide open to such citizens, and a
welcome awaits them.
President R. P. Stackhouse, of the
South Carolina club of Sumter, said !
yesterday that he expected number
of South Carolinians here during the
summer season, and some entertain
ment in honor of their coming will be
arranged later.
