SUMTER WINS.
Game Cocks Put up Lively Exhibition,
and Win from Wedgcfeld by Score
OF z to 1. The Features.

From The Daily Item, May z.
Real snap and fast play throughout
characterized the ball game yester-
day, which the locals took from
Wedgeield by a score of seven to one.
The Game Cocks seem to have hit
their proper stride, and the recent
practices have improved their batting
and fielding to a marked degree.
There was lots of life to the game.
The locals got away with nine good
swats that put earned runs into the
score, and their fielding had the snap
that makes the bleachers sit up and
take notice.
The pitchers for Sumter performed
exceptionally well, and we're the real
stars OF the game, In -four innings.
Drevenetedt yielded but two hits,
White was stirgy to the extent of Civ
ing up but n safety. and Frank
Chandler added the final chapter to
the game. by tanning the heavy end
of the visitors batting order in a row,
when Lenoir. Mahoney and Strange
were retired on strikes.
Rubber" Nash, the local first
sacker. who can reach from the first
station half way to either the plate
or second. and ''Tyrus Cobb Fowler,
each swatted Strange's offerings to
the tune Of ~three-base hits. They both
parked the ball, but ground rules
limited the hit for but three sacks.
Springs made his first appearance
in Sumter uniform. and at once start
ed his old time stunts by getting a
base on balls. stealing second and
then third. and scoring when the
catcher blew a bubble. Joe Chandler
caught an exceptionally good game.
The score against the visitors does
not correctly indicate the strength of
their team. They put up a good
game. and made the locals work for
all that they got.
The lineup Of the two teams was:
Wedgefeld-Aycock, CT; Lenoir, D..
2b; Lenoir, W., 1b; Mahoney, If;
Strange, p; Weinberg, IS; Thomas, C;
Brice. 3b; Dwight, If; Burrows, y;

Similar action 10 that Of Sumter
was taken by Mr.. X. j. Alderman. Of
Alcoiu. who offered TO close his big
lumber mill and send his force of
men on his own train to help the peo-
pie of Manning.
Our people are deeply touched by
this n while suffering heavily in
loss OF buildings and merchandise
stocks, and the heavier loss of three
lives killed outright. and six or eight
badly hurt. we feel a deep sense OF
appreciation for the friendly offices of
the people of Sumter and Alcolu, and
a closer bond Of sympathy and at
tachment.
