this manner its influence Is equally
distributed. Willingness to meet the
landlords half way and pay them rea-
sonable rents, including increases that
are shown by investigation to be jus
tifed, has been the policy of the or
ganization and has made amicable ad-

clare that the activities of the organi-

errors and the visitors got two clean
hits, yet they lacked a whole lot OF
scoring because at all times when
hits meant runs Kits was miser
with them.
The unusual number of 27 assists
we're recorded to the credit Of the
credit of the home team while the
losers got 20. Nearly the whole
Springfield team starred in the field,
but as is evidenced by the number
of assists it was the two infelds
which had the brunt of the fielding
to do. Welch at short for Bamberg
featured with brilliant fielding, get
ting II chances and his lone error
being a poor throw. McGhee Bam-
berg at first base accepted 25 chances
without a bobble. "Bub" Cooner's
ever ready deadly wing slaughtered
the only runner who dared to steal
on him, while Boylston catching for
Springfield, neatly gobbled up two
nasty fouls. "Kitty' Boland at Sec
ond base for the vanquished made
six put outs and three assists with
out an error, and was the pivot in a
fast double play.
Here's the garrison thrilling fin
ish in detail: Welch, first up. took
four bad ones and trotted leisurely
to first. Buck" Browning got a
sacrifice on a bunt to pitcher and
was thrown out at first, Welch pull
ing up safely at second. Keel famed.
The days hero then stepped to the
plate, and Martin, seemingly not rea-
lizing that ''Discretion is the better
part of valor," boldly slammed one
across right in a left hano batter's
groove, and our hero smashed it..
Away it went easily good for three
bases, but as two we're all that were
necessary Otto under the rules could
only be given credit for a two bag
ger, as the midget short stop hot
footed it over the pan with the lone
some tally of the fray. Kits was the
proudest man on the field and well
he might have been. However, every
Bamberg man worked like a trojan,
and all together, and each one de-
served a pat on the back, a hand
shake and possibly more. Maybe
the jinX has gone.

ELLOREE GAME BIG WRANGLE.
Failing to Win, Elloree Gets Mad and
Some Wanted to Fight.

The exhibition game between Ell
loree and Bamberg Wednesday was
marred by numerous errors and con-
tinual kicks, howls, wrangles, argu-
ments, fuses and near-fghts. In the
third inning play was stopped quite
while during wrangle over the use
of the spit ball by Kits, but Elloree
finally agreed to play with it and the
game proceeded to more fussing.
There is a ground rule in force to
the effect that a base runner can ad-
vance only one base on an overthrow
of first, third or home. The rule
book provides that in case of this
kind the runner is allowed the base
he is headed for and one more, and
of course that is the universal inten-
tion of the rule. About the middle
of the game Bamberg had a runner
on second, the batter famed, the
catcher dropped the ball and threw
into right field, the runner scoring
from second and the batsman going
to second The umpire first called
the runner back to third, but he fl
nally changed his mind and decided
to let that score count. Then with
the count three to two in Bamberg's
favor in the last half of the Sth inn
ing, two men down and an Elloree
runner on first Kits grabbed a
grounder throwing the pill almost to
St. Matthews over McGhee Bamberg's
head at first. Of course under these
conditions the batter should have to
stop at second and the runner on first
have to check up at third. But the
runner from first was allowed to
score. Elloree players admitted aft
erwards that this was run to which
they were not entitled. Quite nat
urally Bamberg players kicked stren-
uously, and in all probability would
have quit the game rather than sub
nit tc this decision, but they were
not given the opportunity. The UNI
pire instead of ordering them to play
ball quickly walked out and without
any grounds therefor for
feited the game to Elloree by score
of 9 to 0.
Then it was that the crowd surg
ed on the field in a violent and an
cry mood, one dashing hero with
bat in hand fairly wiggling to bring
it into deadly play, with the accom-
paniment Of many voices shouting
"knock his block off," probably re-
ferring to the Bamberg captain. So,
preferring to play the old "safety
first game and realizing that self
preservation is the first law of nature
the small Bamberg contingent crank
ed up and lost no time in leaving
the game with them in the wild jun
giles. Anybody can have that will go
after it; we won it, but didn't have
time to bring it home.
The Bamberg team did not play |
particularly good ball and Elloree
was just as bad. 1t was simply
case of too much Kits. He had the
situation in hand all the way and the
Elloree hitters could not touch him.
He employed terrific speed and his
spit ball had a wicked break. Eel
