TOO MUCH ROGERS,
Marion Got Away With the Second
Game Handily. Score S to S.-Sum-
ter had No Chance to Win-ROgcrs
Was Whole Show. Three Double
Plays for Sumter.

Prom the Daily Item, June 10.
Why did Sumter lose yesterday?
Tho answer Is easy. Rogers" Four
hits was all that the locals could real
ize OF the delivery or the speedy and
heady pitcher, and John Haynsworth,
who has at last gotten back into his
hitting strike, copped half of that
number. As a matter of fact, Sum-
ter was not entitled to one score.
those made being the direct result OF
errors coming I'm series. With any
thing like proper support. the Game
Cocks would have been whitewash-
ed for tho first time this year. They
had a close call. Final score was
to 3.
Drovenstedt was hit pretty freely.
and with five errors behind him there
was only one thing that kept the score
down. and that was three fast double
plays. which put the stands in a state
OF frenzy. With the bases full in the
third. he batter hit In front of the
plate. and Burns pulled of the two
out play unassisted by first touching
the plate. and tagging the runner.
spann was on the moving end of the
finest double play ever seen on the
local lot. With a runner on second
and one down. Barrett placed a clean
hit to left field. Spann fielding the
ball FAST caught the runner at the
plate. and Burns shot the pill to
Haynsworth on second in ample time
to complete tho play and retire the
side. Another snaPpy double was
pulled off by Drevenstedt. Jones and
Boyle.
The game was not up to mark, but
IL was well worthwhile.

RAILROADS ARE NOT
INNOCENT SAYS EXPERT

New York, Aug. 27.-The poor.
down-trodden railroad corporations"
receive little sympathy from 8. s.
Fontaine,' a stock market expert, who
writes as follows In Sundays New
York World: ::
"Railroad reform has made some
progress, but it has not yet reached
point where it can be said that the
management Of these corporations is
all that could be desired or expected.
Even their more friendly critics are
not prepared to concede that during
the long period of depression from
which every industry and every en-
terprise in the country has suffered
to greater or less degree. they have,
as a whole, practiced the rigid and
scientific economies to which other
classes of business have resorted with
such wholesome results. AS rule
their retrenchments have been at the
cost Of efficiency, and there has been
no. sincere effort to abolish, special
privileges, which are a constant
source OF waste, and to root out the
graft system that has attached itself
to practically every trunk line in the
country through the medium Of sup
ply companies owned by the operat-
ing or administrative officials" 80:

Sizes" the farce which ran for almost
a year at the Long Acre theatre, New
York, and which excited a furore of
fun and praise that has never been
exceeded in the history of metropoli-
tan theatricals. In what has been
termed 'our national indoor game"
pair of skies is not considered much
of hand, but the affair arranged by
the author, Edward Peple, backed by
a queen of hearts, has created a farce
that has been declared "a royal flush"
in the matter of fun. It has proven
to be the biggest farce winner in the
history Of the English-speaking stage
and the success which it has won in
New York has been duplicated in, Chi
cago and all the other, cities where
it has been presented Il has been
received :, everywhere with praise,
whose expression has been entirely in
the superlative.
The story deals, with the fortunes
of two partners in sthe@ pi1Mmanufac-
turing business. Each claims to be
the bead and brains Of the enterprise.
