SOME MORE ABOUT TREES.

Editor Daily Item.
While it is the duty Of all who take
pride, and this spirit should animate
all citizens, in the adornment Of the
city with trees, their planting. as
suggested in former article, should
always be done under the direct SUI
perVision of an expert in the employ
ment Of the city, letting each individ-
ual contribute part of the expense
incident to securing and putting out
the trees. A simple illustration will
show the unwisdom of individual
planting.
Messrs A. b., c. and ID. all live on
the same street and each one wishes
to put out some trees to beautify tho

as to the right distance to plant them

1t needs no argument to show how
fatal this would be to the future beau

inconvenience that will arise if it be-
comes necessary to put down a ce-
ment sidewalk Fifty feet is the
proper distance to place trees and
where the street is narrow they
'should not be planted opposite

SECOND GOES WAY OF FIRST.
Columbia COllegians Fall Before Fast
Local Baseball Team.

The Columbia Collegians on Fri
day afternoon for the second time
were the victims of the fast Sumter
baseball team, the score at the end
Of the nine innings being 2 to 1 in
the locals favor The game was a
pitchers battle from the start to
finish, with the edge slightly in
Whites favor. The game was a fast
one and was interesting, as pitchers
battles always are. However, there
was only a small attendance on hand
to see the contest.
Columbia made it's sole tally in the
fifth, when Toney singled, stole sec
ond and scored on an error. Only
twice was White raped, each time
for a single. Sumter's scoring ma
chine started turning in the fourth,
Drevenstedt made first on England's
error, and came in on Joe Cham
dlers drive over the fence for three
bases. Chandler scored a minute la
ter on BOOzer's wild throw to third.
Three hits were secured from Horns
by, Chandler's for three bases, and
Frank Chandler and Mabry for two
! bases each. Twice the Columbia play
ers reached third. only to die when
White tightened down. White and
Hornsby each walked two men and
Hornsby hit one batter. Hornsby had
thirteen strike-outs to his credit and
White eleven.
In the seventh Clark was taken out
being unable to throw effectively as
he had been hit on the hand by a
ball. and Brown took his place.

SUMTER GRABS FIRST GAME.
Frank Chandler Sets Record, Pitches
No Hit Game.
From The Daily Item, Aug. 6.


Frank Chandler pitched a no-hit
game against the Columbia Colleeians
yesterday. He set record for these
parts when he allowed only twenty
eight men to face him--the extra man
was hit by pitched ball. Not a man
was given base on balls and only one
man reached second base. Duncan
started for Columbia but had trouble
locating the plate, and was hit pretty
freely.
Frank started strong" by tanning
out two in the first and in the eighth
he wiffed all three. Columbia did not
get anything that looked like at hit.
hTe Sumter boys started their scor-
ing in the first inning, after White had
fiyed out to center, Drevenstedt was
hit by pitched ball, Joe Chandler
given a walk and "Hoss Mabry" bang
ed a sweet hit to left scoring Drevey.
Three more men were scored in the
second on three passes and hits by
Drevenstedt and Mabry in succession.
In the third Flowers led off with a hit.
breaking his long hard luck streak
Spann walked and with two out
White singled to left scoring two runs
The locals did not score again until
the ninth, White walked, "Ty Cobbed"
second and third and then scored in a
passed ball. Drevenstedt put a sweet
one down in front of the plate, but
White failed to come in on it,
Frank Chandler and Mabry boosted
their batting averages by getting two
out of three.
The game was fast and quite snap
py after Columbia changed pitchers,
but the attendance was small on ac-
count of the weather conditions. The
same teams will play again this af-
ternoOn and either Nunnamaker or
White will work for the locals.
The fast st. Matthews club will be
here for two games next week and the
Following week the Athletics will come
for another visit. st. Matthews won
two games from Sumter last month
when the locals were crippled and
they are out to get revenue. The CO.
lumbia Atheletics played three games
here in the early part of the season,
the Sumter team making two out of
the three. George Turner always has
good team with him and battles
galore will be on the bill of fare.
