CHAMP CLARK AND THE
PRESIDENT.

Former Speaker Champ Clark
has been distinguishing himself
on the floor of the house a good
deal lately, not only in his old
time role of exploder Of repub-
lican claims and boasts, but as de
fendcr-in-chief Of President vii
son. In view of past history this
may seem strange, but it simply
adds new evidence that with all
his shortcomings Champ Clark is
really a broad-gauged man, says
the Fort Worth Star-Tclegram.
The other day, for example, in
replying to Republican Leader
Mondell's wall over the veto Of
the sundry civil bill by the presi-
dent, Mr.. Clark said:
"'The principal part of the
speech Of the gentleman from
Wyoming (Mr. MondelD is a
whine against the president of
the United States His objection
or criticism divides itself into
two parts. The first is that he
went to Europe, and the second
that he vetoed the bill. / am go
ing to give my opinion about the
matter. The president of the
United States had as much right |
to go to Europe as he had to go
to Baltimore.
Certainly the great republican
party does not propose to reduce
itself simply to a concentrated
growl. That is exactly what you
are all doing. The whole speech
Of the gentleman from Wyoming
(Mr MondelD was nothing but a
growl, and he is getting to be the
greatest growler on the American
continent, bar none
" Anybody can find fault That
is one 70 the easiest performances
known to men. Any ordinary
plug can get out with an ordinary
telescope and find spots on the
sun. They are there. They have
always been and always will be.
But notwithstanding the spots,
the sun continues to warm and
light and fructify the world"
Considering that Woodrow
Wilson was nominated for the
presidency at Baltimore City aft ;
er Champ Clark had received a
majority of the votes Of the CON 5
vention for the nomination, and {
that only the two-thirds rule Of
the democratic party prevented
Mr. Clark from being nominated
of Mr.. Wilson, the refer
ence to Baltimore was rather
neat. It's full force could not be
lost ON the gentlemen of the OPP
position. At the beginning of the
session there was talk Of revolt
among the democrats against the
leadership of Mr. Clark on the :
ground that he was not in har- /
mony with the president The
former speaker is working over
time to give the lie to that
charge.

come with them in their Buick. we
left the main highway at Chimney

splendidly graded and well built road
to the base Of the rock on which the
chimney rock stands. From there
stone steps and wooden stairways lead
to the very top of the rock some 2oo
feet. These improvements have been
made by the Chimney Rock Company
of Rendersonville. There is a toll

to view the scenery as the driveway

There are many beautiful drives
about Hendersonville, on good roads,
but any one who goes there and
comes away without seeing Chimney
Rock, lose sabout the biggest thing
in the show.
Everyone says there are more peo-
pie in Hendersonville than ever was
before in one season. I have heard
different statements as to the number,
but about the largest I got was when
I asked the polite clerk of the POST

GAME COCKS
DOWN McCOLL
First Game of Series Won By
DeBerry in Pitchers Battle

Sumter defeated McColl on Thurs
day afternoon in the best game OF
baseball seen on the local diamond
this season The score, which was 70
/, shows just how close the game was
played. For the first four innings the
Gamecocks were unable to connect
with Gibson's offerings with enough
success to score. However in the fifth
inning DeBerry started the ball roll
ing by securing the longest drive Of
the afternoon to center field for only
two bases and scored on Mannush's
clean single. In the 8th inning the
locals, cinched the game by securing
two hits which coupled with an er-
ror, netted two more scores.
McColl scored first when in the first
inning Peace, the initial sacker drove
one over left field fence for three
bases and scored on an infeld out
The game was a pitchers battle
from start to finish. Had it not been
for one local star called Crawford.
the result may have been reversed.
This young nigh school player was
at his best, although playing out of
place., Not only did ne play second
base well but he acted the part Of
heavy hitter. His all round playing
was the most spectacular feature Of
the game.
DeBerry pitched excellent ball and
was accorded air-tight support. Err
rors were few and far apart on both
teams.
Mannush, Campbell and Burnette.
all played the kind Of ball that the
spectators expect to see from these
stars.
While the game on Thursday was
exciting and fast, the one today will
be more exciting. Sumter will use
practically the same lineup while Nc
Coll will strengthen their team by
new players. Peace, who will pitch
today for Mccall is an old Lacquer and
has considerable experience. Last
week he defeated Mccall in George
town with a no-hit game to his credit.
It will be remembered that he is the
only South Carolina pitcher who de-
feated the strong Wilmington team
when they invaded this State three
weeks ago.
Sullivan will twirl for the local
team today. and he. too has consider
able experience in playing baseball.
He needs no introduction to the fans
here, since he has defeated Sumter on
three occasions. A pitchers battle
may be looked forward to when these
men oppose one another this afternoon
at 6. The attendance at the last
game was very encouraging, but is ex-
pected to still climb today.

A PITCHERS BATTLE
Sumter Won a Hard Fought
Contest By Score of
Ito @

In a game Of baseball iu.I of thrills
and excitement Sumter defeated Nc
Coll in the second game of the series
by the score Of I to 0. 1t was :, live
ly game from start to finish AMI was
witnessed by large crowd cf fans.
NettleS of Olanta, who vas on the
mound for McColl was at his best.
When last here he was defeated by
large score, but revenge was his on
Friday when he pitched such excel
lent ball that the locals hits could
be counted on the fingers. Sullivan,
who was Manager Washington's
choice for the box, was also at his
best and pitched alright ball, being
given air-tight support.
The game had several outstanding
features, amongst them being the
pitchers battle from start to finish in
which Sullivan had a very slight ad-
vantage, the playing of Pearson on
the initial sack for the visitors and
that of Bob Burnette for the locals
on the same bag. Both Burns and
Reaves caught excellent ball and bat
ted we'll. But the necessary stroke
that told which team was the better
vas that delivered by Johnson. of
Sumter, in the eighth inning wf1eI he
put the only one Of the game, over
the fence for three bases. Campbell
then bunted to Netties who made a
bad effort at the pickup and Johnson
scored. This ended the scoring for
the day. To Johnson must go the
credit for the local victory.
Twinning of McColl seemed to be
determined to score for no less than
twice did he reach third base but the
necessary hit to score could not pe
secured by his colleagues off of Sui
livan's offerings. Strike-outs were the
most numerous indications on tha
score card while. errors were scarce.
Al one time Sullivan struck out sew
en- of the nine men who faced him
Nettles often retired Sumterites when
a hit would have meant a score.
In the last inning McColl made 2
desperate effort to score when Pear
son drove a lonS one to the field, bat
their fate was sealed by the felders.
This was the best game ever VT
messed on the local diamond. 1t was
fast, clean and thrilling. The game
today starts at 4 p. m. and is destined
to be an excellent one since McColl
has reserved their best bet, IN Pear
son. for the mound. He Will most
likely be opposed by DeBa.1y or Nun
namaker. Pearson has a reputation
Of being second to none as an anna
teur pitcher in this State. Whether
or not he will be able 20 hold the
Game Cock hits to zero as he has done
others, VIII be the question decided
this afternoon. Crawford viii most
likely be at his old place on first base
thi saftcrnoon. Otherwise the lineup
will have only slight changes. Nc
COILS line-up will also have a few
changes with the hope Of strengthen
ing the team.
The attention of the supporters is
called to the change in time Of the
game from six till four O'Clock.

RESIDENTS Of this place say that this
Is the greatest season for visitors
ever Known. The place. from all ac-
counts. has been literally over1oWed.
Before I came was told that there
we're 1000 visitors in the place and
that people had slept for several
nights in automobiles. I asked a
resident Of the place that I met on
the street last night, how many yisi-
tors he thought were here. He said,
well IN the town proper, he suppos-
ed 6.988 or 1000 and altogether in
fIe surrounding country $4,000 or
5000.
Main street is full for several blocks
all day with cars parked side by side
across the middle of the street, leav-
frfg q driveway on each side. The
cars have tags from various States.
from Florida to Pennsylvania. I was
fortunate in getting room at the
Biue Ridge Inn. on the Main street
European plan. Have also been
fortunate in making the acquaintance
on a South Carolina gentleman who
invited me to seat in his auto in
drives around the country. All of the
prfncipaF roads out from here ! have
found good. Some of the roads off
from the highways I have found a
little rough with some gullies and
many rocks.
The principal crops that have seen
are corn, beans. Irish potatoes, also
sweet potatoes and cabbage Have
seen some very fine corn as we'll as
some not so good. Much Of the corn
is planted in very narrow rows and
close in the hills, with not much show
OF ears. I remarked on that and
was told that it is planted that. way
for forage. Cattle look well. but l
have not seen as many as [ think
there should be. Saw one good flock
Of sheep. Most Of the fields where
small grain was raised, as l supposed
by the stack Of straw, are left to grow
up in weed, instead of being planted
in something else as our farmers Go.
However. I did see some patches OF
Young corn and late potatoes.
The last few days have been lit
tie warm, but heavy clothes have not
ben uncomfortable and the nights are
enio-able with good covering.
