In the first place, "Red" Lynch went Into the game wearing a pain ful boil under his arm and while the, sorrel-top did some nico hurling, his, mntos knew the handicap the lad was ; working under and the natural consequence wa? the team was Jittery. Sometimes when the home lads get their dauber down and put on a negative brand of ball, 1 think the fans] *uis?u that they nre not watching a! major league picture, that they forget i that the players are mere lads, some I of them but fifteen 'years of age. In other words the boys in the bleachers expect too much from a high school: game. A ball lost in the sun in the second frame gave Brown of Sumter a home run and with a runner ahead of him, | Sumter had a 2 to 0 load before 'he second round was finished. The run that gave the visitors the margin of victory came in the fifth and resultol from a wild pitch. Sumter put on a scoring spree in the eighth and ninth frames to add four runs across. Sweatt, of Sumter, pitched a nice, game, giving Camden but three hi'3 1 His support was ragged, the visitors posting seven bobbles in the record, hook. j The score: K H E Sumter 7 9 7 Camden 2 4 4 Batteries: Sweatt and Heckle.
