''Beck's" Amen Corner

PENNY LEONARD was not the
first opponent of Johnny Dun
dee to knock the Italian off his pins,
despite stories by New York critics
to that effect. Bobby Pittsley
knocked out Dundee in the sixth
round of a bout in 1910 and "Kid"
Julian floored him in their bout in
1912. The Pittsley bout does not
appear in Dundee's record in the
Andrews guide for the simple reason
that Dundee prepares his own record
for that guide However, the knock
out took place, all right.

TO J. An four teams are candidates
FOR the Commercial league this season
and il is just possible that there VIII
be a six club circuit, the Policemen and
the Feldmans completing the organiza-
ton. The El PasO Milling company
would also enter team.
Both Of Sundays games were good
Better baseball mas been seen at the
park, but when il Is considered that
these teams had played no games this
year, prior to Sunday, the quality OF
baseball they put up was surprisingly
good and both games were close enough
10 be interesting at all times.
Puritys had a lot Of friends in the
first game, but the friends were in the
grandstand and the game was played
on the diamond. Paul Fisher worked
for the counterjumpers and he was as
stingy with his hits as the army IS
with news from the Mexican expedi-
ton Fisher relied almost entirely on
speed and he had enough to smoke 'em
past the eyes Of the Purity batters,
who thought Halley's comet had slipped
a schedule and made an unexpected
return.
The bakers got exactly four hits of
Fisher, and OF these Darnells infield hit
in the third was decidedly scratchy and
might have been chalked up as an err
ror on Meason. Paul famed Is. Al
Adkins and Aylsworth shared the
batting" hOnors in this strikeout rec
ord, each tanning three times.
RED" Brennan was on the mound for
the bakers, but the southpaw hasn't
rounded into shape yet and after the
third inning he was content to lob them
over.
Brennan got away to a poor start by
walking Lyman. Then Brann connect
ed for three stations and the counter
jumpers had their first score. Brann
foolishly tried to come home when
Fihser hit to Filleman. but was nailed
at the plate The cOunterJumpers got
men on second and third, with one out !

but Grover was in such hurry to get
back TO the shady bench that he en-
tirely overlooked second base.
Mortimer Hits Double.
The first hit off Fisher was DarnelFs
drive at MeasOn in the third. It might
have been scored as an error. Moru-
ner opened the fourth with a double.
hut the next three men died quickly
After Adkins famed in the Nth, Fill

nan flew out to Brann and Darneu

Fisher famed at least two men an
inning and in the first and third he
retired the team on StrikeOuts.
Jay ChacOn, who caught for the
Gas company team two years ago,
caught for the Puritys and his work
was excellent. He looks fit for a trial
with the professionals. He was the
only new man on the team. The bakers
were short a player and borrowed"
Mortimer from the Krackajacks to play
first.
Former "BOylandr Star.
Fuller. a graduate of the Boyland
teams Of last season, played right for
Everybodys. He is still youngster
and was a bit too anxious to hit, but
handled himself like a conner.
The Everybo team will bear
watching this season. Both Paul Fish
er and Buster Gillett can pitch good
ball and Red" Livingston has gathered
a good team.

The now food.
The food has long since passed
the experimental stage said Mr.. Al
len today. "Yam Nuts are an assured
success and taking everywhere it has
yet been introduced" In many cities
recorders have been rapidly coming
in, so popular has the food taken
with the people.
The manufacturing plant is located
in Grccnvillc where day and night
shifts are making every effort to
keep up with the demand.
Mr.. Allen announced today that the
company would consume 100000
bushels South Carolina grown yams
annually for the manufacture of Yam
Nuts. This will be an interesting an
nouncemcnt to the farmers Of the
county who are planning to diversity
In the face Of the coming Of the boil
weevil.
| In an effort to stimulate an interest
in growing yams to meet the new and
| increased demand the Williams COM
pany will purchase and distribute to
the farmers of this section $4,000, 900

duced from these slips. They will be
Of the Porto Rico variety. Also with

Yam Nuts is a crisp, toothsomc

ed process from selected sweet pota-
toes. Like cereals it is best served
with sugar and cream. "Dne fair
