WILMINGTON DE-
FEATS SUMTER
Three Games Scheduled For
Next Week

In the best game witnessed this
mington defeated Sumter for the third
time, the score being to 6. The game
| was full Of hair-raising stunts pulled
off by both teams. Martin deserves
credit for his wonderful play in the
fifth when with three on bases and
one man out he ran far back and
leaped into the air q nd stabbed hot
one from Manuch's bat, not being
satisfied with that, he threw to Craw-
ford for a double, Boswell being
caught off the base.
The game at first looked to be a
pitchers battle, not a man getting to
second on either side up through the
fourth inning. In the 5th inning
Campbell, the first man up hit sin
gle to right field. Burnette next man,
was hit by pitched ball, forcing
Campbell to second Twining sacri-
feed Campbell to third. Burnette go
ing to second, Campbell later scored
on Griffiths bunt. Sullivan famed.
| flied high to Reaves, who dropped
the ball, allowing Twining and Bur-
nette to score; Griffith going to third.
Manuch flied high to Burns.
Wilmington scored again in the
sixth, when Eurnette singled to
right, scoring Manuch. In Sumters
half of the sixth, Sumter scored when
with Clarke, Ratchford and Chandler,
R., on base, Crawford and Nunnamak-
| er famed, Burns, next Gamecock up,
flied high to Twining, who mrffed it,,
! alfowink Clarke and Ratchford to
score Chandler J. famed out. WI
mington's next run came in the sew
enth when Griffith scored on a squeeze
hit made by Trust.
In the Sth, Ratchford beat out
bouncer to Campbell, who threw wild,
! to first, Ratchford going to second
Chandler, r. doubled to center, scor-
ing Ratchford. Crawford singled 70
left. Blanchard let a pitched ball go
by him, letting Craword go to third
Nunnamaker struck out, but Blanch-
ard doubled to center, scoring Cr2.W-
! ford. Nunnamaker was. thrown out
at the plate Chandler ]. grounded to
Burnette. Martin struck out. At the
end of the Sth the score was a tie, 5-
5; but Wilmington didn't think it
should stay tied long, and by heavy
hitting, Twining, Griffith and Trust
were put across the plate. In Sumter's
half of the 9th Clarke got to first on
error by Sullivan, and later scored
when Chandler, R. handed short
stop one, ''too hot to handle" Craw-
ford ended the game by tanning out.
It must be said of Wilmington that
they have the incest club Of ball play
ers that have visited Sumter. Bob
Clarke, the ex-Davidson pitcher, was
in tip-top condition and with better
support should have won yesterdays
game.

THE GERMAN WILDERNESS.

! =
The German premier, addressing
the National Assembly on the occa-
sion of ratifying the peace treaty
said:
We are about to enter upon a 40
years march through a desert
was an allusion, of course, to the
wsnderings Of the Children Of Israel
Il was meant as a lament over the
bitter fortune of the German nation,
It was part of the general weeping
and wailing that have characterized
Germany ever since it was foiled in
its attempt to crush and dominate
the rest. of the world.
In reality, it was happy allusion,
far. more so than the speaker realiz-
ed. The Germans have long been
won't to regard themselves as sort
sof modern Israel-God's chosen peo-
people of the new age. They may ap-
pear so now in a sense different from
anything they contemplated. and yet
fortunate.
AS the New York. World suggests
sethe Germans also have escaped from
the bondage Of cruel tasknasters"-
the rnilitarists, who forced them te
toll fruitlessay, in slavery to false idea:
of grandeur and glory in which the
masses could have no part.
The parallel might be carried
much farther. The Hebrews were
kept 40 years in the wilderness tt
cleanse, purify and strengthen them
1t was there that they gained TIT
Law, and learned to forsake then
false gods They were kept wander
{ ing until every adult who had come
ont; of Egypt was gone, and there wa!
a wholly new generation, reared with
a new discipline and new ideals. Then
and not until then, were the Israelite'
permitted to enter into the Promise<
Land.
There may be Promised Lane
awaiting the Germans, too, to be en-
5oyed when the generation which ha
worshipped the mailed fist has. given
place to a generation reared, li.l'
those wandering Hebrew children, i.
the fear oe God and the quest Of ,l,a
righteousness which exalteth a ma
ton.

Overseas Men Bring Many

Correspondence Of Associated Press)
Brest, July American dough
boys sailing from Brest are not re-
turning home without money despite
the high cost of living in France.
In three days the Camp Finance
Office at Brest exchanged S,233,0 ,0OE
francs into American dollars Tor
homeward bound Yankees. Thirty
thousand returning soldiers and oft1-
GERS carried back to the United States
$1372233 on board the transports
during the three days. The rate of
exchange allowed them was six francs
fiat. Captain Stockwel!, Camp Finance
Officer, says it is nothing unusual for
his office to exchange two million
francs in one day.

ton. If the expectation is realized,
therefore, the political and social
problems of the settlers will be simpli-
lied by their numerical superiority.
The present inhabitants are mostly
Turks and Arabs, hardly capable Of
successful competition with the fresh,
vigorous, modern type Of Hebrew who
returns as a pioneer to the land OF
his fathers.
1t will surely take courage, energy
and science to redeem that little,
sacred strip OF land between the Dead
Sea and the Mediterranean. 1t seems
to have been fertile and well-water-
ed in ancient times, otherwise it
could hardly have been the Promised
Land" that it was to the Children Of
israel. If so, the climate has chang
ed much. Today it is mostly semi
arid, with soil which, even when wa
tered, shows itself Impoverished.
There are big areas of hopeless rock
and sand.
1t is more like Utah than the ordi-
nary conception of it gained from the
Bible Still, many parts of Utah have
been made to blossom as the rose.
Perhaps these hopeful Zionists can do
the same with Palestine Certainly in
their efforts the good will of all the
world will go with them.

unless the girl is book lover and the
giyer happens to know Just what she
wants-then give books by all means.
There are numbers of lovely gifts
IN leather-purses, card cases, photo.
graph frames. writing portfolios End
even little travelling clocks set in
leather cases. Any girl would love the

somewhat like an opera or field glass
case. and fitted with the feminine par
aphernalia Of vanity, including rea..
~ geenrous mirror fitted in the lid
They may be had at variour prices and
are new and smart.
For small gifts of jewelry choose
one Of the new long bar pins for fas.
