ELECTRICIANS GO
TO ABBEVILLE TO-DAY
One Of Protested Games Being Play.
Off Today.-Abbeville Goes to
Anderson Tomorrow
(Anderson Tribune.)

(Anderson Tribune.)
With the Carolina League baseball
season rapidly drawing to a finish
local fans were last night preparing
to witness the two or three remaining
games to be played by the Electric
ians, leaders of the league, and ap-
parently the club which will carry
off the coveted rag.
The locals 60 to Abbeville today
where one of the two protested gam
es will be played over, the second
being slated for Cater Park tomor-
row. A game protested by Green
wood recently, may be played here
Friday, if development of today and
tomorrow make such a course neces-
sary, to determine first or second
places in the league standing.
That today's game will be a hard
fought affair goes without saying.
Abbeville undoubtedly has "blood in
the eye" for Anderson and the Gal
loway gang are determined to take
first place in the league if possible.
Anderson now has a good margin
ahead of Abbeville, but Abbeville
has yet two games with the Electric
City chaps and then has n more
with Greenwood, which should it be
played and Abbeville win, might give
her the top of the ladder.
Tomorrow's game at Cater Park
is expected to be the banner event
of the season.. from the standpoint
of attendance and especially so if
the locals should happen to lose in
Abbeville today. Winning today's
game would practically amount to
winning the pennant and such a
state OF affairs would not likely bring
out so large a crowd here tomorrow
as the defeat of the Electricians in
Abbeville today. However the gang
is going down to win today and the
game should be one of the best yet
played by the two teams.

Chick Watson in Action For First
Time.
Anderson Tribune.
A brilliant, hard fought victory
over Laurens here Monday put the
Electricians another notch nearer
the coveted pennant in the Carolina
League for this, the initial season.
Chick Watson, widely known twirl-
ing ace over this part Of the state
and victor of many games in various
mill leagues went amound for the
locals in his initial appearance in a
Carolina League game and brought
home the bacon, his team winning 5
to 8.
The game was marked by heavy
hitting by both teams, the Electric
ians banging Moseley for Is hits
while the visitors came along with 10
scattered ones off Watson. Cox car
ried the day with two singles and a
double while Werner and Vaughn
each bagged three singles for the
home club.

The three candidates for congress,
Messrs. Dominick, Sherard and Nc
Gravy, spoke at Pickens last Satur-
day afternoon to an audience esti-
mated at 1000 people. The speak
ing was held in the tabernacle which
is a splendid place for such gather
ings. All speakers were given good
attention and the meeting was free
from mudslinging, although Messrs
Sherard and Mr.. McCravy lambast,
ed Mr.. Dominick's record, declaring
that they had a right to criticise his
official acts. The meeting vas pre-.
sided over by Hon. W. E. Findley,
county chairman, and was opened
with prayer by Rev. W. l.. Spinks,
of Easley. Mr.. Sherard spoke first
Mr.. Dominick second and Mr.. Nc.
Gravy last.
The feature Of the meeting was
the speech of Senator McCravy, and
the ovation which was given him at
the close Of his speech. Mr.. Nc.
Gravy was the last speaker and be.
gan his address by thanking the vot.
ers of his home county for the atten-
ton they had given the visiting can.
didates. He recalled to the minds
of the voters the successful fight he
made against the telephone company
in the senate last winter. He then
launched into an attack Of the ofic-
ial record of Mr.. Dominick. He de-
clared that Mr.. Dominick was incon.
sistent in opposing a bonus for the
soldiers and at the same time allow.
ing his clerk and secretary to draw
an annual bonus from the govern
ment of something like $3.50 pei
year. Mr.. McCravy then referred
to a newspaper article appearing in
a New York newspaper to the effect
that Mr.. Harry Dominick, brother OF
Congressman Dominick, is on the
government payroll as a clerk to the
congressman, and on investigation
Mr.. McCravy declared that he found
that Harry Dominick runs an oil mi
in Newberry and renders no service
so far as he knows, to the govern
ment for the money he draws. Such
men as these he declared the New
York newspaper referred to al
PARASITES" on the government. Mr.
Dominick was present and did moi
deny the statement.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1922-08-23

jMr. McCravy told the voters that
he did not want them to come to the
conclusion that he was running on
Dominick's sins, but that he had seen
so much that the present congress-
man had done and had not done, that
he could not stay off Of Dominick's
record. He declared that he had a
right to recall the action of the
present congressman. Mr.. McCravy
assailed Mr.. Dominick's record with
telling effect.
Mr.. McCravy referred to Mr.. DOM
inick's opposition to| the farm bloc
in the senate, declaring that Mr..
Dominick was in error in trying to
make the impression in telling them
that the farm bloc was a high tariff
organization. Mr.. McCravy favors
the farm bloc and referred to the fact
that Senator Tom Watson of Geor-
gia, and Ed. Smith, of South Caro-
lima, were members Of the farm bloc
and asked his hearers if they thought
such men as these would belong to
a Republican high tariff organiza-
ton"
MI. McCravy referred to the fact
that Congressman Dominick voted
against war, voted against the draft
act, and voted against the bonus. On
these momentous questions the con-
gresham from the third district
stood alone among South Carolina
congressman, the other six congress-
men from this state voting in favor
of these measures. MI. McCravy
declared that If he had been in con-
he would have voted different
and ably defended his position.
Mr.. McCravy also touched on the
immigration question and said that
he wanted restricted immigration.
He said we should save America for
the American people and stop the
influx of undesirable foreigners.
He touched on the subject of the
cotton exchange, declaring that the
unrestricted sale of future contracts
demoralizes the spot market, and
robs the farmers of millions of dol
lars. ..
In concluding his address Mr.. Nc
Gravy thanked the voters of his
home county for their support on
past occasions and assured them OF
mis- appreciation. At the conclus-
lion of his address he was given
a great ovation. Men who said they
had never clapped their hands at a
political meeting before in their
lives yielded to the impulse and
shouted, "Hurrah for McCravy."-

ABBEVILLE SCRAPS
GREENWOOD TO TIE
In Eleven Inning Game Yesterday
Stopped By Darkness When
Score Stood S to S.

Greenwood and Abbeville tied the
second game of the series played in
Greenwood this week. The game yes
terday was called at the end of the
eleventh inning on account CT dark
ness with a score of 5 to 5.
Greenwood seemed to be defeated
with a shut out cor until the fifth
inning when five men were rushed
across the rubber. Abbeville made 2
in the third and two in the sixth,
and then it seemed that the game was
a Greenwood victory In the ninth
Abbeville rallied and rushed her fifth
mar across the rubber with Reames'
home run to tie the score. The scram-
BILE was started for the run that
would win the game but neither team
was playing weak ball, so the other
could take advantage of her careless
ness. With both infelds playing JAM
up ball the game was called on ac-
count of darkness in the eleventh
inning.
