tiest games of ball played at Dalzell
yesterday. IL was a rotten battle and
when the cigarette smoke had cleared
away the score stood, or rather leaned
1O-7 the Mugwumps holding the big
end of the score. 1t Is sad tale to
tell. especially the Bull Dog TAIL for
the game they put up would have even
put to shame the PHILADELPHIA Ana
thetics. 1t was the first defeat of tho
season Tor the Sumter boys. and this
one defeat should be excused on that
account but when we consider II wac

beautiful one. it sailed SO pretty over
Schwerin's head, and the more the
pitched the higher he got Teddy

playing pig tail like he beats the drum
in Garber-Davis. He retired early in
the game however when he jumped in
the air for one of Skinner's balls and
caught 1t on the promitory of his right
index. Skinner was relieved early in
the first part of the first inning and
was retired to outer darkness in favor
OF South Paw Pitts. Pitts could not
see the plate however and he was re-
tired i'm favor of North Paw Spann
who managed to finish the game. Sew

none. Five balls We're thrown toward
him but they did not stop there. Man
