opening game of tho Russell Memorlai
Mid-South trophy series on tho
number one hold Sunday afternoon.
A 6 to G deadlock between the Ramblers
and the Yellowjackets remained
unbroken at the end of tho sudden
death chukker.
Many of the spectators left the held
with the Impression that the Ramblers
had won because of a long angle
drive by Ancruin Boykln after tho bell
|
that appeared to have passed through
the uprights, and which would havo
given the Haiubler outtlt a 7 to 6 win.
Heferee and players, however, said
that it had missed by IncheB. The
game wan a tight battle all the way,

each acored two goala, while singles
were registered by Burns, Tupper and
DuBose.

lng the Jacketa a 3 to 1 lead aa they
came Into the aecond period. Floyd
acored again In the aecond, but Pomeroy
kept his fours one In front with
a nicely placed angle shot. The third
chukker found both teama on a acorlng
teat. Burns and Tupper acored
for the Ramblers and DuBose and
Pomeroy for the Jackets.
Boykln was the sole scorer In the
fourth and counted again In the fifth.
Pomeroy acored In the same chukker
to make It 6-all. The sixth period
went scoreless and the game came to
a close after the seventh chukker had
fulled to change the count.
The two teams will meet again next
Sunday when the largest crowd of the
season, here for the \Carolina Cup
races on Saturday, la expected to jam
the number one field.

WHO CAU8E8 NEARLY ALL OF
OUR HIGHWAY CRA8HE87
We hear no much these days about
the old outmoded cars aud trucks ou
the highways. .Wo claim that they
are the direct cause of nearly all of
our wrecks, etc. All of which ain't
wo, but 1 hold no brief for this rolling
Junk, and, like you 1 wish It could
bo shipped to Japan where It will
eventually land.
About 05 per cent of tho complaints
against old, out-of-date cars and
trucks Is based on the fact that they
slow down traffic, Impede speed,
deter Uying, Irritate one's temper to
the oxteut of cussing, get lu our way,
and ought to be put In Jail, but when
have you ever heard of one of these
old heirlooms having anything but
punctures and blowouts?
We smart alecks who own 37 and
38 and 39 models, with possibly the
down payments made, and the next
4 skipped, cause 98 P?r cent of the
highway wrecks. You raroTy, If over.,
see a car or truck older than 1935
towed In by a wrecker. The wrecker
service fetches In our late models,
our shining light, our Installment
plans, our?"she can make 85 as easy
as chicken pie." These are the trouble
makers.
Therefore, when we analyze the
true cause of highway wrecks, first?
mpst put. the blame on spetul>?And
second?the speed being caused by
the mut at the wheel, we acclaim that,
nearly all of our deaths and cripples
and damages may be placed at the
feet, If any, of the speed-nuts. They,
meaning these speed maniacs, which,
1 am sorry to say. Include me and
nearly all of you who own late model
cars, are the source of all of our worries
and dodging and mourning.
Most folks who own new cars think
only of the speed they are making
or could make If the old carB would
stay out of their way. They go around
curves and cut corners at 76 to 80;
they peep over hills at death at 60 to
90, hoping that the other fool alnt
there?In his or her way; they think
their tires will take care of them on J
Blippery roads, but other fellowB tires,
just like theirs, won't do the trick.
Yes, friends, our highway mishaps
are all, more or less, caused by everyday
folks Just like us who must speed
I and speed and speed thlB desire
holds forth even if we are going to
funerals or to prayermeeting. When
you hear of an old model car or truck
having a wreck not caused by a new
car or truck, have its picture put in
the paper. It will indeed be a relic.
the old way and the new
WAY
This is a wonderful country, this
country of ours. It Is not the country
that we older persons found on our
arrival. It has been transformed, but
not reformed. Customs and practices
of even 20 years ago havo changed
100 per cent.
These new Innovations make it expedient
that mother and father raise
their off-spring from the cradle to the
age of maturity. But parents do nothing
to tho children except feed them
and raise them. The public treasur>
educates them.
At the age of 21, unless by "virtue
of good luck and some , money hid
away in the sock, our girls drift into
the sewing-room and our boys get anchored
on the WFA. There are no
longer half enough lucrative Jobs to
go around.
We must piddle along from year to
year and depend on whatever shows
up (with a strap appended for us to
grab) till we reach the age of 6;?,
unless?of course, we have held a Job
lung enough for the social security
to merge Info Its caverns?and then
the old age pension appears on the
horizon.
If folks In industry lose their Jobs
' by a shut-down or a Shut-up, rockingchair
money is dished out to keep
soul and body and Ford and soft
drinks together till, per chance, the
Job-wagon pulls by again. And then
we can crawl back on. In other words,
our employers must pay us If misfortune
closes their plant. Rut business
must avoid misfortune; that s the
law.
It's no longer the practice, among
many folks, to take care of ma and
pa like we did in years gone by Guess
we simply aint able, but the taxpayer
meaning you, is able. Of course we
still have our poorhouses where we
take care of the unfortunate lot that
can't do any better; and a poorhouse
alnt the worst place In the world to
live.
We simply don't understand it all.
We have produced such abundant
crops that our wealth (In crops) is
starving us to death. We still have
plenty money to buy all of those necessities
that we can easily do without,
but we don't have anything left
to meet normal requirements, such as

Gamecocks Upset
Chiefs in First Game
(By The Skipper)
A Saturday crowd of some thousand |
fans and fanettes saw an alert and
hard-hitting Gamecock baseball team
from South Carolina University reverso
the usual procedure in Indian
warfare by scalping the Syracuse
Chiefs by the loppy count of t> to 2.
It was the first game of the season
for both teunis.
After an attack of Jitters In the first
two innings In which the underdog
collegians made frantic swings at the
sizzling slants of Big John Gee, the
Gamecocks ruffled their feathers aud
began being obnoxious. They kept
big John on the anxious seat lu the
third, but ho pulled out without being
scored upon aud iu the fourth aud
fifth he was again invincible. In the
five frames the big southpaw worked
he gave up two hits, struck out seven
and walked three.
Augel went to the hill in the sixth
and was given a shellacking to the extent
of three hits, one being a doub.lft
by Hymnson, and a walk, which
with an infield error gave the varsity
lads two runs. Angel sailed through
the seventh without trouble, due to
some neat support but in the eighth,
after one man was down, he was
again nicked for a double, this time
by Stroud. When he walked Burns,
he was given the highball to the
shower room and Howell went to the
mound. Howell caused Rhoden to
hit to McDanlels who tossed to Murphy
to force Burns at second.' Stroud
tried to come home when Rhoden
stole second but was run down to retire
the side.
Howell drew a baptism of flre in
the ninth when six blows, made up of
a triple, two doubles and three singles,
mixed with two errors and a hit
batsman yielded seven runs.
I The Gamecocks added Insult to InJury
when In the second it^njog with
' one down, Lehman walked, end stole
I second, only to be caught napping
j when Hymson pulled the old hidden
j ball gag out of the attic.
Wolfe started on the mound for the
Gamecocks and in the four frames he
worked, baffled the Chiefs, yielding
but two hits. Baxter took up the
pitching burden. In the first two
frames got by safely, only to run Into
trouble in the seventh. Bottaranl
scored the first run for the Chiefs by
a drive over the left field barrier.
After Murphy had been retired on the
prettiest play of the game, when Williams
grabbed his hard-driven grounder,
Juggled It a moment and then shot
It like a rifle bullet to Rhoden at
first to catch Murphy, It looked as if
Baxter would get by with the homer
as his only liability. But Angel was
safe on Stroud's peg which pulled
Rhoden off the bag. Stankey then I
singled and when McDanlels doubled,
Angel came over with the tying run.
Harig poped out to short to retire the
side. The Indians sought to start a
rally In the ninth but the best they
could do was to list a single by Por\
ter. '
The Chiefs had a bad day at the
-plate, getting but seven hits aB
against twelve registered by the
Gamecocks. Each team listed four
errors. The Gamecocks, underdogB at
the ?-<?re the coolest In action.
Th. was handled by Montjoy
back of the plate and Staley callln'
'em on the bases.
The rallblrds were impressed with
the work of this lad Stroud at third
and we venture to predict he will be
heard from in professional echoes in
< the future. Wolfe looks like a good
hurler while Burns offered a world of
pep back of the plate.
Gee was the luminary in the Chiefs
line-up. The few times he was In
dangerous quarters was due largely
to the umpiring. He has a fast-breakI
Ing curve that fooled the eyes of
Montjoy repeatedly. Six of the seven
men In the first two innings went
down swinging. Stroud singled In
the second and reached second 01. a
wild pitch.
Porter sent five new faces Into the
lineup In the sixth. Stankey succeed
ed Meyers at third, McDanlels took

"Beautiful play," said Jack Corbett
when, Williams rifled the ball from

in the seventh. ?
"That boy Stroud is a sweet balli
player," said the owner of the Chiefs.
It was a neat play in the first when,
after Meyers had singled to right, he
was forced at second by afast play
by Wolfe to Williams on Kahny's
grounder. Kabny was out when forced
by Harig who had grounded to
Hymson.
Stroud was the first to score a hit
ofT Gee. It was a beautiful drive
over the pitcher's box.
In the third Hymson connected
with what looked like a single as it
started over Gee's head. The big fellow
reached up and the ball snapped
into his glove with a sound like a
pistol shot.
In the fifth Wolfe drove a long
skier to right which hit an inch outside
the chalk line. It would have
been good for a douhle had it struck
an Inc?h farther south. Ill the same
