GOOD FOR KINGSTREE! \ Baseball Team Takes Two from McColkThree from Lake City. That the Kingstree Base Ball assoj ciation has an aggregation of good ^ ball players is an indisputable fact r and the officers of the association as I ns wpII as the fans have everv reason to be proud of and should give them every encouragement possible, which i we believe they have so far.. 11 LastThursday and Friday the team - frdm McColl played here but the at tendance at either of these games was small and not what it should have been, especially at the last game on J Friday, which was decidedly the 1 prettiest, cleanest game seen on the 1 home grounds since the season openr ed. The first game, won by the locals, was a little one-sided because \ the visitors did not have their regu? lar pitcher and it was necessary to j change the line-up of their team. 3 But on Saturday all of the regulars were on hand and' strictly in the game, which, however, was lost by t a score "of 1 to 0 in favor of Kingr stree. The pitching of Gibson, the star pitcher of the Citadel team last season, was as good as is usuallj - seen among ajnateurs. His support was also good, especially the fielc^g 1 of McLaurin who pitched in the r preceding game. The games at Lake City Monday, j Tuesday and yesterday between the , teams of that place and Kingstree 5 aroused considerable enthusiasm among the fans of both places. The i result of the games as reported - from Lake City is given below: Lake City, July 19:?Kingstreo ? defeated Lake City here this after1 noon in a close and interesting game, 2 to 1. Epting pitched a fine game for Kingstiee, fanning fourteen am allowing two hits. Winchell twirlec a good game for Lake City, als( striking out fourteen and giving uj six hits. Folger, with two out o: three, led the hitters. Batteries Lake City, Winchell and Brown Kingstree, Epting and Holmes. Lake City, July 21:?Kingstree won tcday by a score of 12 to 2 The heavy hitting of the visitor: made the game one-sided. Fran! Winchell, formerly of Albany anc Augusta, was on the mound for the locals. Charles Connolly, the Co lumbia catcher, started behind the bat for Lake City, but was badlj spiked in the right hand in the first inning of the game and will prob ably be out of the game for severa days. Brown took his place behinc the bat. Connolly stopped off here on his way to Brooklyn, his home where Jt is said that he will join the Brook^n (Federal League) team foi the balance of the season. Five hits were secured off Fillingim't delivery, one being a home run bj Conway. Martin, for Kingstree featured at the bat, setting foui out of five up. Today's victory makes the thirc straight game for Kingstree out oi the series. Kingstree won Tuesday 5 to 4. Ephie Holmes, the Charles ton boy, who has been the loca catcher all season, handled Fillirgirr in splendid style. WILL UPHOLD AMERICAN RIGHTS President Wilson's Note to Ger many Will Be Mild but Firm. Washington, July 20:?Presidenl Wilson and his Cabinet today decidec on the general principles of the note to be sent to Germany renewing efforts to secure for American citizens protection on the high seas. The President read to the Cabinel a tentative draft of'the note. On iti character and purposes there was unanimous agreement,and Secretarj *Lansing was at work tonight putting in more precise language the idea: set forth. Members of the Cabinet generally preserved secrecy regarding the 1 < > i j e A i ; proDaoie contents 01 trie coininuin cation. It was made clear, however that it would not be an ultimaturr or make threats as to the future purposes of the United States. At the sime time they pointed oul that it probably would have an aii of finality curtailing the field of discussion and negotiation and placing squarely on Germany the responsibility for any actions that might sub sequently "endanger friendly rela tions of the two countries. The coifimunication will be couched ir friendly terms. * Today's conference was devotet' somewhat' to a discussion of wha! the American people really wan! kvhmmrnassamamammm To Ik Pi We have come 1 a Plumbing and ' would like to get y< ! given free of charge | We Lead, G ROWLAND J Roof Painti 1 Telephone 35, c-o Kingstree 3 1 fEVERY should feel grateful f as ours proves to be moral influence on a c tablished on safe bu 1 with that of the chun Perhaps You Ha of a Bank From i J O How about the you! we have in safe keepi where would that mo; ble and even probable way into some den of YOUNG MEN, TI OUII1C J UU novt VJ us swell that number, it over with us. iBank of Hei * \ 1 said and done. So far as Cabinet 1 officers could judge by public ex) pressions, the nation has voiced an ) insistent desire that the honor and f dignity of the United States be up- ! : held in the correspondence with ; Germany, but that a course be followed which will maintaip peace. ? On Germany's next reply and the crystallization^ of public opinion I thereafter will depend to a large ex, I tent, officials intimated,the action of II the United States concerning future > j violations of American rights. . i Secretary Lansing said today that >. no complete report of the encounter ] between the British liner Orduna and, . a German submarine had reached the State department. An investigaI tion has been instituted through the I Treasury department, and a report , is expected within a few days, but the dispatch of the note to Germany ! will not be delayed. A statement from WmO Thomp son, counsel of the industrial rela-j , tions commission, who was on board T the Orduna, was referred to by Secretary Lansing as giving only a part ! of the information necessary to form a judgment of the legality or illeI gality of the attack. !
