Hay ties Wins as Homer Breaks Deadlock Game (I3y Tbe Skippor) They pulled Jake Hayaea out of the moth balls Monday afternoon at the softball diamond and the chap with the deadpan phlx pitched one of the best games of his extended career, yielding tbe Wolf pack hut four blows and emerging with a 3 to 2 victory when Steve Dundrkk cracked out a homer after two were down in the Anal frame. Opposed to Jake on the hill for the Wolf pack was Clarkson Hhaime, who despite a two-year layoff had his old speed ball perking effectively until Bund rick caught a fast one on the snoot or the wtnow. That the quiokly gathering gloom caused by low-hanging clouds and a fast gathering twilight may have accounted in part for Bundrick's circuit smash is admitted, for the Wolfpack outfield misjudged the fly ball completely and Instead of going back on it. ran forward, only to have the screeching drive whlstin overhead and roll far into deep center with all three garden guardians racing pell me 11 after it. Rhame had the Haynes lads eating out of his pudgy mitt for live out of the seven frames. Jake Haynes electrified the crowd when, first man up in the tmrtnl stnnzn. connected for n whistling double. But Jake died right tit the keystone sack us Jack Marshall fanned, Wilson poped to Netties and Gregory lined to Woolen. On the other hand the Wolves started out as If they were going to stage a Roman holiday. Halsall waited for four wide ones, stole second and romped home when Billy Nettles spanked the hall far into right. When 'he ball got past Oliver, Nettles raced all the way around to tally run No. 2. Clarkson Rhame lost five pounds when he drove out a cracking double and raced to second. Lightfoot popped to Mayer and when Wwt flew out to Holland, Rhame was doubled off second. As the innings went by the two runs of tbe Wolves looked bigger and bigger in the fourth after Haynes had popped to Llghtfoot Marshall drove a hard smash into, left which got past Halsall and Marshall raced to third, scoring on Wilson's single a few minutes later. Gregory popped to Nettles and Bundriok fell prey to a bunting complex which did not find Nettles napping. In the fifth the Haynes crew came to life again and a walk to Wheatles Moseley mixed with an error and a belated fielder's choice scored the tying run The sixth found the Wolves making a threat when with one dovrn Halsall singled, slole second but expired thero when Nettles popped to Wilson and Rhame flew out to Mar shall. The Haynen team put on the winning act In the seventh. Wilson rolled an easy one to Lightfoot and was out at first on a snappy peg. Gregory shot a screaming liner between first and second and West pulled the feature play of the afternoon when he raced over to his right and threw himself toward the ball. How he got his mitt hand around and how the ball stuck in the glove was a series of miracle plays. Bundrlck came up with two men on the shelf and connected solidly with one of Rhame's fast /balls. The ball started out like a battleplane taking off after a messeschmldt. Steven kept on galloping until he had made the circuit. Moseley drove a hard vrounder to Wontsn who throw him out at first. In the third Inning Mayer of the Haynes team reached far over toward the Fair street sidewalk to spear a difficult foul fiy from Halsall's bat. The Wolves made serious threat to score In the second frame and It was only by reason of some lightning plays that they were retired without counting. After Wooten had popped to iMoseley, Bill Pitts annexed a neat single. Billy Mullen was safe on Mayer's error and Pitts raced to third. Bruce was safe on an infield blow and the sacks were loaded. But a quick peg Wilson to Bundrlck caught Bruce tiff the hag and when Haile was out Mayer to Bundrlck the threat was over. There were but three errors during the game. The Wolves posted two and Haynes team one.

Wolf pack Def Hermitage Talent (By The Skipper) A brilliant defensive Wotfpack set down the Hermitage Softball talent by a 6 to 1 score Wednesday evening in u city league contest. The game featured some major league pastlmlng by a smooth working combination consisting of Jack Halle at first baHe, I^ee West at second, Herbert Moore at short and Ernest Wooten at third. Iu particular the accuracy of Moore and Wooten whs something sweet to watch, Wooten had nine chances, seven assists, and two putouts during the seven innings of play and there wasn't a chance of an error. Moore's work at short waB sensational. The Wolfpack won the game thru a first Inning attack that produced four runs. Three hits and three miscues by the Mill lads were responsible for the quartet of counters. In the second inning the Wolves addetj a run on a hit and an error In the outfield. In the third another run was added when the Hermitage outfield messed up again. ? After the third Inning the Hermitage outfit braced and the Wolves were helpless. Only (wo Wolves saw first base in the last four innings. Halsall was safe in the fifth on A. Caulder's error while Wooten got a life in the sixth on Blaokwell's boner in short center. The lone run scored by the Hermitage came in the first inning after two men were down. Captain George Welch, a swell chap if you ask me, drew a walk, reached third on J. Caulder's hit and scored on an outfield error, the only miscue made by the Wolfpack during the game. The Wolves scored in the first on singles by Halsall, LIgbtfoot and Moore mixed with errors by W. Lynch and W. Brown. In the second inning Pitts singled and scored on an error in the center garden made by Crolley. In the third inning with two down Moore was safe on Croljey'o error and scored on a double by west. This evening Haynes and Kendall teams will stage an encounter on the softball field. L. Caulder will pitch for the Kendalls and A. Robinson for the Haynes. The schedule in the city league for next week calls for the Kendalls and H d C J', Uown on and Hermitage teams on Wednesday and the Kendalls and Hermitage on Friday. Car Badly Damaged In Truck Collision An automobile owned by L. L. Clyburn was badly damaged when struck by a truck driven by Charles Lloyd at the corner of Laurens and Fair streets Wednesday evening at 6:30 o'clock.

The crash occurred when a ball game was in progress In the athletic field nearby and several hundred spectators rushed from the ball park to the scene of the wreck. The truck driven by Lloyd Is said to belong to a man named Miller. H. Pltzer, an out of city resident, was arrested by patrolman Mathis for speeding Wednesday. I>ater another out of town driver Who gave his name as Wilson Blockweather was arrested by Mathis on a similar charge. Both drivers posted $11 bonds. Pulpwood Chatter After completing a pulpwood Inspection trip of the Camden area to aee that cutting rules were being lived up to, Williams Bridges, conservamt engineer from the Georgetown paper mills and Douglas Pew, local conservation specialist were greatly pleased at the cutting being done by Mack Dinkins at the Henry Savage property. A thinning program is being carried out in which trees that are overstocked and thus are too dense for maximum volume growth are being thinned while crooked and defective treea are being taken out to improve the condition of the stand and growing stock. Not only Is this thinning paying for itself by the volume removed for pulpwood but It has yielded a profit. At the same time the quality of the stand is Improved and a faster volume growth Is assured. There are other tracts of land in this district on which the same type of thinning program can be applied. Anyone wishing timber marked for such thinning or for any Information on the subject can make inquiry of Mr. Pew at the I). J. Creed office on DeKftH) street. European plane manufacturers had to perfect in a hurry, because of the war, a self-sealing bladder gas tank. Many British garages will become armament factories in the new push for more munitions. Machine tools normally used In the repair of private automobiles will be employed to make DieHs and aircraft parte. Fortieth Anniuermxy. Service8 For Pastor The deacon# and. congregation of Mt.
