SCHEME TO STOP RUTH
Red Sox System Works Well Un.
til Babe Clouts Ball Into
Bleachers.

BOSTON. May 3-InfieIders of the
Bbston Red Sox think that Babe
Ruth's hitting can be cut down. To
this end they have worked out a de-
fensive scheme of play that proved
effective yesterday.
The development, said to have been
conceived by Stuffy McInnis, puts all
the infielders back on the grass be-
yond the diamond. The third base
man plays bit to the right of his
usual position. The Shortstop is al
most back of second base, and the
second and first basemen play what is
virtually short right field The
pitcher is assigned to cover first base.
In its first test yesterday the scheme
showed results as follows:
First time up. Ruth hit hard to the
right of second base. Pratts position
made possible a stop and throw that
caught the runner. The next time
Ruth struck out, but on his third turn
at bat the new defense was tried
again. Catching a low curve with a
hard swing. Ruth smashed the ball
toward right Held. McInnis, from his
deep position, swung across to make
d sensational stop backhanded and
continuing his dash beat Ruth by
sliding for first base.
Finding 1t impossible to pass the
receded infield, Ruth on his fourth
time up, cracked another low curve
into the right field bleachers for his
only hit of the game.

A new business makes its bow to
the people of Edgefeld this week.
The Quality Shop has opened for
business in the Turner Annex to the
rear of The Corner Store. The own
ers and managers are Misses Kate
Samuel and Ruth Lyon. They recent
ly went to market and purchased an
entirely new spring stock of milli-
merry and ladies' ready-to-wear goods
and are now open for business. Both
of these ladies have had considerable
experience in these lines, which will
enable them to suit the tastes of the
Edgefeld ladies. Their new stock is
being enlarged by shipments by al
most every express and they will keep
everything up to the minute in style.
The Quality Shop is being conducted
strictly on a cash basis, which will
enable the managers to buy cheaper
and sell cheaper than if conducted on
credit basis. In their advertisement
this week Misses Samuel and Lyon
invite the ladies to call and inspect
their new spring stock.

Tuesday afternoon Sheriff Swear
ingen arrested a man who appeared

Mr.. j. R. Cantelou. Travelling as he
was, without any definite object or
purpose, aroused suspicion and he was
placed in Jail to await developments.
He evidently halls from Pennsylvania
but refused to give the name of his
kith and kin upon the ground that he
did not care to disturb his people. No
charge has been preferred against
the man but he was simply held as a
suspicious character. In these days of
so much deviltry of every sort it is
well to make every possible investi-
cation as precautionary measure.

held up and robbed while letting his
horse stop for water at the branch
this side of the Holland place. There
were two men. One held the bride

was armed with shot gun, ordered
him to give up his money. Mr.. Reese
had been out collecting fees for
hunting licenses issued by game war
den and had about $10O on his per-
son, which was taken over by the
highwaymen. When Mr.. Reese came
in town and related what had hap
pened several persons went to the
scene Of the robbery in the hope of
finding a clue but nothing except the
tracks and an empty pocket-book
were there to tell the tale. Nothing up
to this time has been found that
points to the guilty parties.

DR.. Lee Has Resigned. !.

At conference of the members OF
the Baptist church Sunday morning
held Immediately after the morning
service, DR.. R, G. Lee presented his
resignation as pastor of the church
to take effect the first Sunday in
April, his last sermon being preached
on that day. DR.. Lee stated that after
prayerful consideration he has decid-
ed that it is his duty to accept the
call to Chester. 1t is not only larger
field but it is probable that the Fur
man Fitting School will be establish
ed there, which will give an added op-
portunity for increased usefulness.
The entire congregation was deeply
moved by the resignation of DR.. Lee,
as it is generally conceded that the
church has never had a pastor who
was more generally or more genuine
ly beloved. DR.. Lee requested in his
resignation that he be permitted to
have a part in the selection of his
successor, this request being made
not in the spirit of dictation as to
who should follow him, but because
of his abiding love for the people
and interest in the welfare of the
church. DR.. Lees resignation was re-
luctantly accepted,and a committee
consisting of DR.. Lee, Mr.. o. Shep-
pard, Mr.. B. B. Jones, Mr.. D. B. Hol-
lingsworth, Mr.. w. A. Strom was ap-
pointed to suggest suitable person
to succeed Df. Lee as pastor. 1t is
the desire of the church to secure a
pastor as soon as possible, so. the
work can be taken up and carried for
ward without a break or Interrupt
ton.
