IInitad Press Snorts Editorl

NEW YORK. Aug. IL Omitted
Press) .-Ty Cobb not only was about
the greatest Of ell ball players but
he darn near is now.
The high tension wire OF the De-
troit Tigers has more years on his
shoulders and more service stripes
on his arm than any other active
player in baseball and he has no
idea OF quitting.
In his eighteenth year OF cam
psigning down the hard major
league pike, he is threatening to
take his old place OF batting king
with a mark better than 400.
That's his remaining ambition.
Cobb's eye is still as sharp as fif-
teen years ago. He still has the in
stinct OF camping in the right place
for the centerheld drives and his
hands still holds them. Age IS show
ing only in his work on the bases.
My old legs aren't as good as
they use to be- Cobb said during the
recent visit OF the Tigers to New
York. Il don't steal bases like ]
used TO. Not because I have lost too
much speed, but because base steal
ing is no longer a big factor in win
ming.
With the lively ball and the cpl
demic OF hitting, there Is no need in
risking injury by going down TO sec
ond for a close play when you have
just as much chance TO score by
waiting on a double or a triple be-
hind you. I think II I wanted to
take the chance and found the need
pressing. l could get out and lead
the league again in base running"
Cobb today IS the most inspiring
leader on the field. Speaker has lost
much OF his old fire, but the Georgia
Peach is always on the talk, either
on the coaching line or in front of
the dugout. He has filed his team
with fight and he has lost some OF
the ultra-critical tendencies that
made his friends fear from his job
last summer.
The Tigers have a young short
stop. Emory Rigney. who looks like
one of the best prospects in baseball.
Rigney IS also a lucky young man.
The Tigers bought him several /
years ago from. the Texas League /
and sent him back for seasoning.
strings were kept on him but they
became so tangled in a number of
transfers that Commissioner Lands
i'aa 70 declare him a free agent.

WIN FOR PINE BOYS

Pine came from behind to nose out
Madison in the tenth inning Of a
hard-fought Playground League
at Fourth and Church streets yester-
day. Z to 6. with one out in the
final session, Horgan paved the way
for Pines win when he tripled to
the flag pole. Jackson won the game
by kissing one TO deep left, which
would have been good for a double,
scoring Horgan.
Madison seemed to have the con-
test sewed up with four runs in the
second but Pine equaled this great
burst with the same number in the
fourth. Madison tailed one in their
half OF the fourth and then Pine
went to the four with two in the
fifth. Madison knotted the numerals
in the seventh and the count stayed
that way until Pine came through in
the tenth.

NEEDS 3 MORE
Second Division League
Fight, However, in Sight
of Three Teams
CRUCIAL GAMES
DUE NEXT WEEK

Should things go true to form in
the First Division of the Church
League, Brandywine. the league
leaders, have a sure bet on the PEN
nant at the present time. but any
thing is likely to happen IN the old
game and upset the dope. With
five more games to play Brandywine
must win these to cop the title.
Should they lose three games, Cook
man would have a chance at first
place.
When George clifford and Harry
Lynch trot out out their proteges,
the next time they meet, which will
De on August 81, fast game of ball
should result.
on Monday. the leaders meet the
Second Baptist nine. The last time
these two teams met Manager Will
kin's clan lost. Should Second 9ap-
tist have their entire strength out
they should make the best of them
step, and with Bullen on the mound
Manager wilkins has a formadabls
aggregation.
Tuesday will bring together two
old rivals IN st. Paul's and Grace.
Manager Day OF the Saints expects
to take Grace into camp with his
galaxy OF stars.
Mt. Salem will hook up with West
on Thursday. West has won but
two games this season, one of them
being from Mt. Salem. These two
teams from the west side always
make hard fight against the great
est odds and deserve credit for the
way they make the others fight for
every game they take.
Goodman will tackle the dark
morse OF the league when they meet
Yves" Blake's fighting clan. West
minister with Harvey on the mound.
has a pitcher who is second to none
In the league, When his spitball is
working he shows something on
which even the bes Of batters bite.
The race in the second division is
being watched with the keenest in
terest, especially the race between
Epworth and McCabe. McCabe is
sticking so close to Epworth that a.
slip at any time might prove disas-
trous to the leaders. McCabe Is
counting on St. Stephen to take one
from Epworth next week as this
would make their chances more
even. Both teams have a hard
schedule before them as they must
meet twice before the season is fn-
shed.
st. Stephen and Trinity should
offer the second division leaders the
strongest opposition they will en-
,ounter.

Perfectly Clear.

A Kentucky lawyer was standing
on the steps of the Covington post
Office the other day, when an old
colored man came up and, touching
his hat, asked:
'Kin you tell me, is dis de place
where dey sells postage stamps"
Eyes, sir, this is the place, replied
the lawyer, seeing the chance for a
little quiet fun; "but what do you
want with a postage stamp, uncle?"
ITO mail letter, sab, Of course
"Well then, you needn't bother
about stamps; you don't have to put
any on this week."

"Well, you see, the congratulation
Of the hypotenuse has differentiated
the parallelogram so much that the
consanguinity don't emulate the ordi-
nary effervescent, and so the govern
ment has decided to send letters
free"
The old man took off his hat, du-
biously shook his head, and then with
a long drawn breath, slowly remark
ed:
"Well, boss, all dat may be true,
an I don't say it amt; but jest
sposen dat the esksetricity of the ag-
gregation arnsubstanshuates de ig-

sequences don't you Qualif1cate dat

The Mems Choral club was enter
tanned by VIM. A. Dickinson last
Thursday evening, at the home OF
Mr. and Mrs. C.. F.. Gilchrist. The
members assembled at the appointed
hour and spent a few minutes IN
going over the three songs the CLUB
has been learning. The musical pro-
gramme. which had been arranged
bv c. w. Rentz, Jr., was then given,
consisting of a song by Paul Wh1ta-
ker, a violin selection by Capt. Free
man. and a quartette by members OF
the club. The director and assistant
director then began the reading OF
the book of the minstrel which will
he given after Christmas. When Mrs.
Gilchrist, assisted by Miss Ida Brab-
ham, Mrs. Whitaker, Mrs. Gault,
Mrs. Leighton Rentz, and Mrs. E. H..
Henderson, appeared with delight
full refreshments, of salad, rolls, hot
chocolate, and candies, the members
seemed to lose all interest in the min
strel for the time being and to center
their activities on the good things
to eat. The evening was concluded
with a programme which has always
proved very popular with the men,
bers-the making Of close harmony
with the old, well-known songs.
Paul Whitaker will entertain the
club at it's next meeting, on Decem-

Prayer in Court
Recently The Bamberg Herald

Recently The Bamberg Herald
contained the following news item:
For perhaps the first time in the
history Of Bamberg county, court
was opened here last week with pray
er Attorney N. G. Evans an
nounced when court opened, that the
session of the court would be begun
by the invocation of the blessings OF
the Heavenly Father. -
We congratulate Mr.. Evans. When
a man is placed on trial he asks for
adjudication "by God and my coun-
try" In a temple Of justice, de-
signed to correct crime and pro-
tect society, but with mercy, the
guidance of the Almighty is very
essential thing.
However, the great trouble with
formal prayers is that they are cere-
monial only, and lack spirituality or
changing power We wonder how
much better the Bamberg court was
run that week? Or, how seriously
did the court attaches, witnesses
and defendants regard the prayer or
fered.-Times and Democrat.

and relatives, the marriage of Miss
Helen O'Leary Free to Shannon Ray

Win for Denmark.

Denmark, Nov. 20.-Of all the ex-
citing games ever played around this
part of the country chief was that
played Friday between Beaufort and
Denmark high schools, Denmark win
ming 13 to 12. Denmark had the edge
on the visitors although at various
times the Beaufort line held like a
stone wall and prevented further
scoring by Denmark. Both Of Beau
tort's touchdowns were made off re-
covering Denmark fumbles, one of
them by a run for IS yards. All the
scoring was done in the last half and
Denmark made both of its touch
downs in the last six minutes of play.
It was pretty game.
Denmark plays Barnwell here next
Friday and a real battle is promised
the large crowd that is expected.
