ONE OF GAMES
Tailenders Can't Be Expected To
Play True To Form All the
Time, Gleason Learns.

Philadelphia. Aug. 8. - Even If
they are tailenders and are laughed
at by the fans. Connie Mack's base
ball outfit held the top line White
Sox to an even break in two games
yesterday, all of which didn't help
Chicago's pennant aspirations a
bit.
The Sox had luck with them and
won the first encounter, 2 to 1, then
had luck against them and the
trailers took the second, 3 to 2.
Eddie Cicotte won his battle. OPP
posed by Hubert Scott Perry.
Claude williams lost his, opposed
by Roland Naylor In the game
the Sox won they made only four
scattered hits In the game they
lost they gathered 10. Base hits do
not always win.
This mixture of school boys and
old-timers that Mack presents each
day is a dangerous team One new
er can figure out what the players
will do. They just go out and blaze
away individually and many times
luck is with them. They make fool
ish plays sometimes when they do
no harm and then turn out thrill
ers when in distress.
Perry pitched a corking game of
ball. He looked better than Cicotte
all the way, but he couldn't win.
Cicotte was tapped freely in the
early rounds. but always got out
and would never have been scored
on had not Buck Weaver missed
couple of chances in the ninth.
In the second kane, NayloT was
hit hard, but the Sox accomplished
little. Once they punched three
solid swats, but couldn't get a run
out of it, Williams wasn't quite
up to his standard on the slab, but
he seemed better than his rival.

A Fencing Campaign

Clemson College, August lS.- A
wise man or wisely directed corpora
tion during periods of property will
make investments In permanent I'M
proveraents which later help to tlde
over periods of depression. the same
principle holds good in farming, says
acting director of extension, u. W.
Watkins. This is the logical time to
invest money in needed permanent
improvements on the farms of South
Carolina, because, while there are
some farmers who are not prosper
Gus, the majority are more prosper
Gus than they nave been IN recent
years.
In addition to such improvements
as home water works and farm
lighting systems, one of the great
ests needs is for more wire fencing.
There has been without doubt a
growing interest in livestock produc-
ton for several years past Stats-
tics show this to be true. The county
agricultural agents and live STOCK
specialists have assisted N the mar
keting of forty:one cooperative car
loads Of hogs since the first nf jan
nary. The business of pork produc-
ton is sure to grow. The advent OF
the boil weevil will increase the pro-
duction of all kinds of live stock.
More fencing is necessary if we eX-
pect to engage seriously in livestock
production.
Mr.. V. W. Lewis, field leader IN
live stock extension, who first sug-
gested a campaign to increase the
amount of land under fence is secur-
