Greenwood, Sept. 8.—Laurens de feated Greenwood here this afternoon 3 to 1, and won the championship of the Carolina league for the second successive season. It was the sixth game of the series, the fourth in the won column for the champions and their first victory away from home: A crowd estimated at 2,500, including several happy fans from Laurens, witnessed the final struggle. Paul Moseley, Greenwood’s premier pitcher, who was selected by Acting Manager Jimmy Mattox to stem the tide for the locals, was not in his usual form and gave up a total of nine hits. He was replaced by Phil lips in the ninth inning. Today’s de feat was Moseley’s fifth since the opening of the season. Against this he is credited with 18 victories. Purcell, who pitched a no hit game against Greenwood at Laurens last Thursday, was on the mound again for the visitors but he too did not show his usual stuff and was touched up for six hits. 1 —~ Greenwood fans saw an ill omen in the very first inning wben Moseley walked Heck, the first man up, who was sacrificed to second by Arch O’ Connor. Narlesky followet^iim with a mean liner to third, which Patter son knocked down, preventing an ex tra base hit, but both men were safe. Heck then scor^l on a fly, which Hun- nicutt caught far back of second base. Mack O’Connor went out, Moseley to ( Young. | The gwne rocked along with both teams atfitimes making wild threats to | score until the fifth, when the Admi- 1 rals annexed two more on a walk, two hits and one error. Briggs flied out to Flowers, but Moseley gave Purcell his base. Heck singled to center and Arch O’Connor hit a hot liner, which bounced out of Moseley’s glove back of second base. Narlesky, however, failed to come through, his pop fly going out to Hunnicutt, but Pep Young helped along the visitors when he booted Corn’s drive and Purcell and Heck scored. Greenwood made a desperate effort to come from behind in her half of this inning by reckless base running, following a walk and a single, but her efforts resulted in only one score. Hunnicutt got his base. Patterson singled to center and Hunnicutt went to third, but Patterson tried to stretch it into bases and was thrown out to second. Flowers went out second to first and Hunnicutt scored on Briggs’ delayed throw to the plate. Mattox singled to right and Moseley flied out to center. , Laurens caused more depression among the Greenwood rooters in the eighth inning, when Gibson, first up, doubled to left and was sacrificed to third by Rawson, but he was held there when Briggs flied out to Flow ers, and Purcell struck out. And then hope was revived in Greenwood’s half, when Mattox, a successful pinch hitter, was announc ed to bat for Moseley, but Umpire Harper called him out on the third stirke and the grandstand roared its disapproval. Young cheered them up again with a single to right but Frew forced him at second and Werner pop ped out to short after Reames was safe on an infield hit. With Phillips in the box the Admirals went out in rapid order in the ninth. Heck and Narlesky both flied to Flowers and Arch O’Connor struck out. Green wood’s last chance was cut short when Hunnicutt went out third to first, Patterson struck out and Flowers out short to first. DAVIS OPENS DRIVE IN WEST cyr- Take for the liver. Beware of imitation*. Demand the genuine in 10c and 35c pack bearing above trade mark. Declares He Hopes to Put Before Peo ple Issue of Honesty in Govern ment and Thought. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 6.—John W. Davis put under way with a rush to day his campaign in the great agri cultural section west of the Mississ ippi river. The Democratic presidential nomi nee delivered addresses in the morn ing, afternoon and night, and between times conferred with his running mate, Gov. Charles W. Bryan, and many other leaders of his party. His principal speech was that tonight at the auditorium for the presentation of his views as to a program for the relief of the agricultural industry. His first talk was to stockmen and others at the Omaha stock yards, where he again laid emphasis on the issue of honesty in government and his second was at a luncheon for party leaders. In that he urged or ganization and a fight with the ranks of Democracy moving in solid forma tion. “This is your fight,” Mr. Davis said in his luncheon speech. “I am but your agent and your servant. An army is of no consequence without a leader I admit, but a leader is weak and powerless without his army, and to you, the captains of these battal ions, I call now to summon and ar ray your troops with the confident assurance that our assault in Novem ber on the entrenchments of privilege and dishonesty will lead to prompt and overwhelming success. In his stock yards talk Mr. Davis said he had come from the East to the West to familiarize himself with the problems of the people in this section. He declared that the inter est of both East and West are not diverse and that each depended upon the other for a common prosperity. “There is one problem,” he added, “quite aside from questions of busi ness and commerce and finance; one problem which has a universality of which there can be no question. The one thing that all the people in this country, no matter where they live or in what occupation they engage, de mand is an honest and upright gov ernment. And the great issue which Governor Bryan and myself hope to put before the American people in this campaign is honesty in govern ment; honesty in thought; honesty in deeds.” Mr. Davis arrived here early today from Chicftgo and was escorted imme diately to a hotel where he met a number of leaders and where a few hours later he was formally welcom ed to Nebraska by Governor Bryan, who came over by train from the state capitol at Lincoln. It was the first time the presidential and vice presidential candidates had met since immediately after the New York con vention. Governor Bryan was a speaker at the stock yards, the luncheon and the auditorium, and he accompanied Mr. Davis and members of his official party to a baseball game in the after noon. Mr. Bryan had the same es cort from the station and was taken immediately to Mr. Davis’ temporary headquarters. Soon afterwards, Mr. Davis and the governor and a.large party proceed ed by automobile to the stock yards where they spoke under what at least to Mr. Davis was an unusual and pic turesque setting. 4 The rotunda and balcony of the ex change building were crowded with men and women. In the audience was a large sprinkling of cowboys wear ing the broad brimmed hats of the Western plains. There was a loud cheer and waving of hats as the two candidates made their way to the stairway from which they spoke. Returning to their hotel from the stock yards, the Democratic presiden tial and vice presidential candidates again appeared together at the lunch eon and again received an enthusi astic reception: Former U. S. Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Omaha, presided and be sides Mr. Davis and Governor Bryan the speakers were Senator Key Pitt man of Nevada, anti Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee, who have charge of arrangements on the West ern trip. After the ceremonies at the audi torium tonight Mr. Davis and Govern or Bryan departed for Lincoln, where the presidential candidate will be the 1 guest of the governor tomorrow be fore proceeding to Denver, where he is to arrive Monday and where Wed nesday night he will deliver the sec ond address of his Western camjiiign. $ $| A’ V4>/ PfMjtttXl T (* r 0 The Place of Glad Returnings That is what every home should be yet.
