‘ J / ^ HP) VLORENC® DAH.Y TIMER TrnVUY AFTRVOON MAY 9 19:2 LAKE CITY MEETS T . SUMTER TOMORROW GREAT GAME OF BASEBALL WILL BE PLAYED ON HICKS FIELD 4 P. M. I The baseball committee of the state high school association lias ordereil a series of baseball games between the strongest teams of each section of the State to decide which two teams shall play on the University Field for the State Championship Jin- als. It is planned to have two of the lower state teams meet two of (be neper state representatives on the University Field and the last survivor will be the State Champion. In the eastern half Lake City and Sumter have been ordered to meet at Florence on or before May I lie 12th. The two teams have decided to play on Wednesday May 10th at 1 P. M., and the place will be Hicks Field. The umpires will be Maxie f>. Burch of South Carolina University, and Earle W. Martin of the University of North Carolina. These two “i mps” have worked together for two seasons and have given general satisfaction to all concerned. This will be the first appearance of 1 ake City on the Florence diamond this season for they were rained out on the occasion Lake City coming up to plav the Local MigV school. The Lake City boys have put out a good team for two seasons, being a promi nent runner up for the championship last year and losing out to McColl in the crucial game by the dose score of 3 to 2. Lake City’s leading hat ters are Dudley, Poston, W. Eops, and Trenchard. Trenchant Js said by tho critics to he one of the best Im-li schgpl outfielders in trie state. Tho Lake City team hasj again made a great record for the season losing only to Columbia in association con tests and that by a close score. In Dudley Lake City has a pitcher whom many consider as good as Dec. nice Thompson of McColl. In tho game played against Florence in Lake •city Dudley struck out twenty-one men, twelve of them being fanned in a row which is a record breaker for a high school pitcher. There is no doubt hut that Lake City has one of the strongest teams of this side of file state and with Dudley at his he.-t they are hound to make Sumter stir around to win. Sumter has also a record to he proud of. They have lost only one game of the season and that to Lake City in Sumter at the first part of the season. Since then tiro Game cocks have made rapid strides and have won most of their games by a good safe margnin. Edwards, the Sumter pitcher has made a.good rec ord this season. When he pitched in Florence he held the Yellow Jackets down to six hits and two runs while his teammates ammassed a total of eight runs for him. Edwards also does good work with the hat and is considered a good all around player. Sumter's best bets with the stick are Wheeler the catcher. Shaw. Crawford, and Wright. r.Tight is con- ride red one of the fastest base run nors in high school. He plays left and covers hi» territory like a, fetcmii. Sumter showed when, they played at Florence that they have a well coached fast fielding team, as well as one that can hit In the pinches. Lake City is coached bg Wesley Singletary, former Furman star. This is Singletary’s second year as coach of the Lake City team and lie is tu he congratulated upon the team 1m has turned out.
