Sumter Proves Easy For Bulldog Squad Wallace "Red" Lynch, southpawed the Bulldogs to a brilliant 11 to 3 victory over the Sumter diamond pastimers at Sumter last Friday. Lynch while us wild as a debutante at a Jitterbug contest held .In a bed ot poison Ivy, was also us stingy as the proverbial Scotch miser, "lied" wa.K.ed eight Guinocpcks, but fanned eleven and gave up but three hits. A handful of fuithful fans accompanied the Bulldogs to the enemy camp aud exulted at the complete tipover of the dope bucket. Sumter fans, a mere handful of them, sought to spur their gladiators' to a win, but -the Bulldogs were not U> be denied j and they really looked big time stuff 1 in comparison with the home tots. I Dividing honors with Lynch was Herble Moore, premier shortstop of the wrecking crew, who registered, four hits out of Ave times at bat and crossed the scoring blook the sumet number of timeB. One of the swats j Moore poled was a triple and ansther a double. Camden drew first blood when two runs clattered over the rubber in the second round. Sumter tied up the count in the third but the Bulldogs pushed a runner around tjie bags in the fourth to take the lead. In the sixth frame the Camden sluggertKreally opened up thp flood gates and when the deluge had. subsided, five runs bad been tucked away in the score book. The Bulldogs actually staged a hash session, mixing hits with errors, walks and a hit batsman to register the quintet of markers. Just to prove to the Sumter rooters that the sixth inning relay race was no fluke, the boys from over here put on another scoring spree In the seventh when several walks and an error with a bunching of blows counted three more runs to raise the total to eleven. Sumter got saucy In the eighth and| managed to get a runner around after ( getting a life on an lnfleld bobble. J Camden booted the play but four' times during the nine rounds while Sumter took a course in aviation and' rang the error gong ten times. Epps. who did the heaving for the Gamecocks yielded nine hits, walked three and fanned nine.

The officers traced Beunett to Columbia, where he took the wrong road and headed for Camden. Neartng Camden Bennett discovered he was on the wrong road and turned around, but being somewhat weary he tied the mule to a tree and decide to take a nap.
