Greenwood Style.

The Masons of the state r meet
ing i'm Greenwood this week and are
having the good times the Masons
usually have when they are away
from home. The Journal of last
week published the program and the
committees. On the reception
committee appears the names of
Daniel Andrew Gaines Outz and
Francis Simpson Evans. Further
down we find the names of Herman
Won Roden Schrader and Harry Le-
care Watson. All this long string
of names instead of the initials
would lead one 10 think that Green
wood was having a Bridge party at
four in the afternoon. It is hard
to recognize "Cap Evans" in Francis
Simpson Evans.

A Distinguished Visitor.

Dr.. James P. Kinard, President of
the Anderson College, spent Sunday
in Abbeville with his aunt, Mrs. M.
C. Gary. This was the first visit of
DR.. Kinard to OUR city, and he was
much impressed with the city.
DR.. Kinard was formerly profess
sor of English in Winthrop College,
and later held a similar position at
the Citadel. When the people of
Anderson built a college of their
own, they made extensive investiga-
ton to find the right man for the
presidency. They decided on DR..
Kinard, and we believe time
will show the wisdom of the choice.
The city of Abbeville will be glad
to have the distinguished president
visit here oftener. The Abbeville
girls will soon begin to look around
for a college at which to get the
right kind of an education, and will
do we'll to meet DR.. Kinard before
they decide where to 60.
While at Winthrop, DR.. Kinard
married Miss Lee Wicker, who was
a former teacher in the Abbeville
Graded school.

Mr.. w. w. Bradley Attends Pref
bytery.

Mr.. ". W. Bradley came home
Saturday night to Spend a quiet
Sunday with the home folks after a
weeks arduous labors. But when
he got home he heari that Presky-
terry was in session a. Lower Long
Cane and feeling it his duty, he
hitched up and went down, taking
his two model boys, Jack and Hugh,
along with him. MI. Bradley great
ly enjoyed the day at the old church.
The sermon may not have been rs
orthordox nor as long as those for
merly preached by DR.. Hemphill and
DR.. Latham, but among the Long
Cane Irish, the psalms are still sung
through the nose to the tunes Of a
hundred years ago, and this part Of
the service is greatly enjoyed by Mr..
Bradley, as he can enter into it
with spirit and understanding.
This was the first meeting of Pres
bytery which Mr.. Bradley had at
tended at Lower Long Cane since
some years before he went to col
lege at Die West. This other
meeting will long be remembered,
especially by the seven Bradley boys
Capt. J. E. Bradley, at the sugges-
ton of their mother, had made great
preparation for the occasion. In Or
der to have the boys dressed out right
he made a trip to Augusta and visit
ed the "Sunken Ship" where he
came into possession of a job lot Of
white derby hats for boy and sever
al pairs of high-heeled shoes not
made for boys especially, but which
they could wear. These preparations
were kept secret from the neighbors
so there was considerable excite
ment in the congregation when the
seven Bradley boys, with the white
derby hats still on, marched up the
aisle one behind the other, led by
Wide, all wearing shoes in the sum-
mer-time.

thoroughly frightened and wanted to
cut loose, but Captain Feress kept
cool and ordered them to stand ready
for whatever 1t was that had hold
Of them, and for half an hour nc one
knew what was going to happen.
They could see nothing, but they were
going away, and some invisible power
had hold Of the boat. Then a big
black object came suddenly to the
top, jumping clear out Of the water,
trying to loosen himself, then started
for the shore, and soon had run into
the bar, and the tide left him high

1t was that had nearly scared the life
out Of them, a monster shark measur-

MI. Longshore, the man who sells
the Ford automobiles in Abbeville,
when asked his charges for hiring
a car, said he would carry a young
lady as pretty as Miss Platt, the
Canning Club expert, to Antreville
and back for three dollars, that he
would charge a drummer five dollars
to ride around town and that he
would charge a married woman sew

ROUSH HAS AN AL|BI
FOR HITTING SLUMP
SCOreboard at Federal Park
BOthers Leftllanded Bat
ters, Is Claim.

Edd Roush, outfielder of the New
ark Pops, claims that the scoreboard
in centre field hurts his hitting at
games played on the home grounds.
At first this sounds like an alibi, but
when one stops to delve into details
and compares Roush's, home record
with the work he does on the road
with the stick, his alibi looks good
Fact is, all the lefthanded batters
on the Newark team hit better on
the road than at home That was
proven in Brooklyn last week. The
Peps have never shown half the hit
ting powers at the local park as
abroad
The scoreboard is high, but it is
right on the line with the usual de-
livery of the average pitcher. When
the white figures are posted there is
a background which makes the ball
hard to see for man batting from
the offside of the plate, is Roush's
claim.
The Giants for years have had the
same alibi which they made about the
Polo Grounds even when they were
winning pennants. Christy Mathew
son in an interesting article pub
lished recently tells how pitchers
study the back grounds afforded by
the surroundings at their home parks,
and why it Is that some pitchers win
rs per cent. of their games at home.
He tells how one manager found
that by leaving q certain door in the
outfield fence ajar thin streak of
daylight afforded a background that
bothered visiting batters, but none of
them were wise until John McGraw
discovered a flunky shutting the door
every time the home team came to
the bat and opening it just about a
foot when the Giants took their turn
to hit.
All Is fair in love and war and in
baseball, but McGraw passed the tip
around and the door was kept closed
after that. By pitching the ball and
keeping 1t within the space backed
by the streak of light the pitcher had
the batter guessing. Bill Donovan
when with Detroit took advantage of
the dark road uniforms used by the
Tigers and always kept his body be-
hind the ball and in line with the
batter, SO as to prevent the ball.
which was nearly the same hue as
the uniform, from being seen to ad-
vantage.
And so when Roush makes his alibi
It does not sound so much like an
alibi after all. The next question,
however, Is Now that 1t Is known
what can be done about it?' Visiting
batters have made the same COM
plaint, but Roush was the first to put
it across the plate.

The humping the Giants gave Dale
yesterday was the first that young
pitcher has received in some time. He
did a long stretch of high-class work
before being hammered from the rub
her and is one of the best of the
new crop of boxmen.
Sometimes we wonder whether the
American League race is being run
to decide the championship or to see
whether Ty Cobb will set new bat
ting mark.
McGraw, according to accounts,
believes the Reds will finish fourth
in the second division, but he hasn't
had a good look at the Pirates yet.

GILMORE'S VISIT STARTS YARN
ABOUT FEDS INVADING BOSTON

President James A. Gilmore's recent
visit to New England has stirred up
q new nest of rumors. That Boston
is said to be after a Federal League
franchise and the Feds are undecided
it Is claimed whether they will invade
New York or Boston next year. In
commenting on it Mr.. Gilmore is
quoted as saying that there was
plenty of time to consider the mat
ter and that a proposition had been
made by Boston men for a home
owned team and that suitable
grounds could be obtained.
The head of the league will be the

NEW YORK, June 16.-- Champion

rounds on the same card with Leach
Cross and Johnny Dundee at Ebbets

night at the same club, but the cham
pion complained that 1t was not fair

Bill Rariden, of the Peps. is a
great admirer Of Ty Cobb. Bill and
Ty became quite chummy in the days
when Bill was with Boston and the
Braves trained at Augu sta, near
Cobb's home. 1t is Cobb's custom to
workout with whatever big league
team trains in Augusta, and it was
there that the friendship started.
Rariden, however, has never had
the pleasure of trying his steel whip
against the Georgian, but he is as en-
thusiastic over Ty as a kid is over
toy. Bill says that If necessary Cobb
could bat near the 500 mark.
"The Georgia Peach has never been
forced to his utmost by anyone" says
Rariden. Joe Jackson came along
and tried to head him off. You saw

WHITE PROVES TO
FANS HE CAN HIT
Chicago Lightweight Knocks
Out Young Brown in | Min
ute and 81 Seconds.
RIVERS HAS A CLOSE CALL

NEW YORK, June 16.-For the first
time in his many appearances in New
York, Charles White, the Chicago
lightweight, proved his hard-hitting
reputation Is all that has been
claimed for him. 1t took him Just
one minute and thlrty-four seconds
to dispose of Young Brown, the East
Side lightweight, at the American
Sporting Club last night. During
this short time Brown was knocked
down three times, once for the count
of eight, once for six seconds and the
third time for good. Each time White
sent the New York boy sprawling
with a left hook to the jaw.
Although Whites speedy knockout.
which is his eighth in his last nine
fights, was the star event of the eve
ming, several other things happened
to attract attention and to arouse
displeasure, some of which was on the
card and some was not. One adver-
tised happening was ten-round con-
test between Jose Rivers, of Los
Angeles, and Johnny Harvey, of New
York, which was all that was adver-
tised, as far as fighting goes. Rivers
beat Harvey from the first gong un-
til the last minute of the tenth round,
when Harvey revived. swept over a
right cross and had Rivers practically
out on his feet. Rivers held to the
ropes and managed to save himself
in this manner until the final bell
rang, thereby stalling off a possible
knockout and winning the honors fos
the mill.
The disagreeable features came
right on after the two preliminaries,
when 1t was announced that Rivers
had refused to perform until paid in
full the money he was guaranteed
He held up the affair for fifty min
utes before the club capitulated and
paid the money. White then held
up his bout, also trying to collect,
but this time the fighter gave in,
accepting a small amount in cash
and the rest promissory notes signed
by the new club manager 1t was
announced that the directors of the
first show of the new organization
had lost 81 200 on the night, and it
was also announced that the fighters
refused to worry over the troubles of
the promoters.

DaveN All They Said.

Yesterday the Pops lost because
they could not hit Davey Davenport.
The big fellow has all of the stuff
they said he has. He has enough
speed behind his pitching to knock
the bats out of some ball players
hands and his fast ball breaks SO
uncertainty that no human eye can
trace it with sufficient accuracy to
meet the ball on the nose with any
degree of consistency. Jimmy Es-
mond had the right idea. He sort of
choked up his stick and dropped two
Texas Leaguers over the infield.
That is the way to treat these
speedy guys. Fool the outfiede"s
into creeping in and then swat one
ordinary fly over the domes and
the game is busted up. Isn't that
simple? Anybody can win games by
doing it, but to do it is another
thing. Colonel Goethals, who pushed
through the Panama Canal, says that
nothing capable of conception is i'm
possible of execution. What the Pops
seem to lack is a versatile attack.
They do not run the bases enough,
they lack the vital pinch punch and
well, we might win today and forget
all about 1t. That's baseball!
