Sumter with Stoddard on the hill was rated a heavy favorite over the Lancaster Hoses Wednesday, but the lads from "Dick" Richards' bailiwick were at the big end of a 4 to 3 scoro when the smoke cleared from the field of swats at Lancaster. The game was a pitcher's battle between Hugh Stoddard, of the Gamecocks, and lienuie McKlhany, of the Roses. Sumter gathered nine hits to seven, made by Lancaster, but the Roses managed to get their blows when runners were on the sacks. Both teams played a major brand ! of ball, not a bobble being committed j during the fracas. Reeves, Plyler and Thomas, of tho Roses, combined to offer an airtight defense when the Gamecocks threatened, j Lancaster got away to a flying start with two runners over in the first Inning. Reeves' homers with Thomas on was the scoring punch. Sumter scored a run In the third and in the seventh pushed over another to tie up the count. Sumter then forged ahead by a one run tally-in the eighth but in the last of tho same inning Callahan hit the ball out of the lot for the Roses with one oil to take a 4 to 3 lead, which was the codnt at the end of the game, i The teams went to Sumter Thursday afternoon for the second game of the series and If a third is necessary it will be played at Sumter on Satu rday. The score: Sumter 3 9 0 4 7 () Batteries: Stoddard and Wilder; McElhaney and Warren. Hartsville Downs Chester At Hartsville Tuesday, the Sonocos won the first game of the playoff series from Chester by a 5 to 2 score. Clifton, of Hartsville, baffled the efforts of the Cardinal batters to collect enough blows to push more than two runners home. Thompson, of Chester, pitched a fine game but the Sonoco batters were hot and' hit his offerings freely. The second game of the series between these two teams was played at Hartsville Thursday. If Chester won this game a third game will be played I in Camden Saturday. "Pop" of The Palmetto's Back in June, a semi-pro baseball league was organized with Camden, Sumter. Chester, Hartsville, Kershaw and Lancaster entering teams. This week, the top four teams are launching their playoffs after a most successful season. Going back, however, you can always find one man who, more than any other, has been responsible for rho organization and success of such a league. And so, we nominate Frank Heath, of Camden, as the "Pop of the Palmetto." Fi-unk has worked untiringly for the benefit of the league and has seen to it that the papers have been kept advised of the doings in the league. Many obstacles have arisen in the league, but have always been hurdled, hugely through the efforts of Frank ir would be idle, of course, to say ! that no others have helped. Ray Blanding of Sumter, Major Thompson i of Chester and many others have put* I their shoulders to the wheel and help-j led make the league a success. Next | I year, plans are to try for a Class I), league. If the sponsors of this year's | Palmetto league go after it with the same enthusiasm, you can pretty well bet the Class I) league will become a reality. But returning to Pop" Heath, he has not only done a fine job on the Palmetto league, but has been largely instrumental in putting Camden s sports program back on the map Polo, horse racing, golf, the cotton festival and many other events have been made more successful by the efforts of Frank Heath.?Abe Fennell in the Columbia State of Wednesday.
