nGr Yesterday

When thirteen enforced residents OF
Sumter county leave shortly for their
homes in other states they will at
est the fact that they found some
kindly disposed people here, who ex-
tended the kindly hand in their hour
of adversely. Thirteen young white
men, working upon the Sumter county
changing, near Myrtle Springs, were
not overlooked yesterday by Christian
people there when the bounteous din
ner was spread A heaping basket o.
choicest viands was carried the unfor-
tunate young men, and the best dinner
they ever had, perhaps, was enjoyed
at cool spot in sight of the picnic
park. The only offense committed by
some of these young fellows was that
of riding the rods of a freight train
into Americas, for which "heinous"
crime they have toiled four long weary
months on the public roads of Sumter.
Had they committed a real crimebur-
glarized a house or wrecked a bank
they might never have been SO muca
as arrested for such "triviality."

EMPLOYMENT ACCORDING TO
CHICAGO EMPLOYERS.

Chicago, May 29.-Young women
with good dispositions, average at
tractiveness and with no slit skirts,
low-cut necks or fat curls gummed on
their cheeks, need never lack employ
ment in Chicago, provided that they
possess a reasonable degree of COM
potency. This was the result of dis
Icussion on the subject here last night
by employment heads of a number OF
large department and mail order con-
Germs and experts from the women's
trade union leagues and several civic
bodies.
One employer said that the greatest
problem is the middle-aged woman
who had grown careless of her ap.
pearance. Another declared that ii
was freakish girls. A third said the
hardest kind of a girl to find a place
for was the college girl with no voca-
tional training.

SECOND GAME.

Doc Ayers got away to q dandy start
in the final frolic. For six innings he
yielded but one scratch hit and only one
visitor reached second base.
The Griffmen jumped on young Morton
for run in the opening chapter when
Moeller reached second on the muff OF a
fly ball by Wambsganne, took third on
Fosters out and breezed over on Mitch
ellis single.
Shank's triple to deep right field fol-
lowed by Morton's wild pitch gave the
Nationals another run in the second.
Fosters single, a couple OF steals and
Morton's glazing error put across the
Nationals third marker in the fifth in
ming.
Fortified with a three-run lead, Ayers
apparently had the game safely tucked
away. but the Maps took undue liberties
with his brand of pitching by clubbing
out a run in the seventh and knotting
the count with a couple more in the
eighth.
During the remainder OF the game both
teams had several opportunities to score,
but the necessary swats were not forth
coming.
Morton was relieved by Hagerman and
Blanding, both Of whom were invincible.
johnson took Ayers place in the thir-
tenth, Rippy Williams going behind the
bat as Henry had previously been spiked
by Joe jackson.

Hagerman and Blanding will probably

starting time is l:S o'clock.
The Nationals may be without the serv-
ices Of Catcher John Henry for the next
week or ten days. as Henry received a
nasty spike wound during the thirteenth
inning OF yesterdays second game when
he blocked of Joe jackson at the plate.
Jackson's spikes cut Henry Just above
the right knee infiicting a deep wound.
Ainsmith was also hit in the index
finger Of his throwing hand during the
first game yesterday and II Is doubtful
II he will be able to go behind the bat
today. Luckily Grit has Alva Williams
fair chance OF working in both contests
today.
Catcher Ben Egan of the Maps started
the batting rally that tied the score In
the eighth inning Of the farewell contest
by smashing out a clean single 70 center.
In the twelfth inning. he tripled over
Mike MitcheIl's head.
Egan. who was with the Athletics two
years ago. always batted like a fiend
against Washington, but could do little

was up to his old tricks again yesterday.

There is one feature Of Ayers pitch

possesses a lot of reserve strength, for
when he was taken out OF the box yes
terday after toiling nearly thirteen in
nings. he looked to be Just as strong as
when he started.
Ayers has improved wonderfully this

GAINED should be a big winner for the
