TRI-COl'XTY ALL-STAR TEAM. Bamberg Gets 5, Blackville 2, Allendale, Williston and Denmark 1. One of the editors of The Herald having asked the writer to furnish a j little base ball "dope," he can think of nothing better than the selection of, an all-star team of Tri-County leaguers. However, the writer does not consider this in each instance a very easy task and is not unmindful of the fact that his judgment will be severely criticised many times by Herald readers. Nevertheless, he has seen each club in the circuit play at least two games and will state his choice for each position as best he can, giving his reasons therefor; i angels can do no better. First comes the pitching selection! and this requires considerable thought because there are at least five mighty good pitchers in the league. But as the teams only play twice a week and +/vorvi wi oei rtnHr at, a tnr, pVl CdL. H ICd ill Lai I ICO ljiu,! uul nviii/u hurler it would seem necessary to pick only one for the all-star team, i In the beginning the -writer must ad- I mit that in the great 1 to 0 ga^ie at | Allendale last month Weeks, pitching for Bamberg, had more stuff on the ball than any pitcher he has ever watched work anywhere. But Weeks, a great twirler when he is right, has always had the misfortune to stay out of condition about half of the , time, and. that fact alone bars him from the honor of pitching for the allstars. Schultz, whp pitched the same game for Allendale, while possessing a world of stuff, like Weeks, has been of very little value to his club since, and as a pitcher must be named who can be generally depended upon to deliver the goods, Schultz is also eliminated. "Babe" Adams, of Barnwell,. must get honorable mention, for "Babe" is a world beater at times, but at other times and not infrequently, "Babe" couldn't find the plate with a Metropolitan tower searchlight. Everyone knows that control is a chief essential to successful mound duty. Watkins, of Blackville, is a pretty good pitcher, but he has a $10,000 arm and a $10 head and is easily rattled. Norris, of the same team, is a first-class pitcher, but he's a better batter and all round ball player than he is a pifcher, and will be placed in another position. This narrows the candidates to two men, Kitts, of Wil liston, and* Smith, of Bamberg, both steady, reliable and splendid pitchers. But in each of the three games the writer has seen Kitts work, he has failed to come through at the close in anything like as good style as he started; invariably he has-weakened the finish. As this, his sole weakness, inability to stay the full route, is fatal to any flinger, the call goes to Ellis Smith, of Bamberg. This boy has everything, speed to burn, bewildering curves and breaks, well-nigh perfect control, headwork, experience . and stability, and a harder worker . donned a uniform; always in fine condition, he starred in the four games the writer saw him pitch and for all round value to a club is probably the peer of any pitcher in* lower South Carolina. In his first four games he walked two men, hit none, allowed the sum of three runs against him and gave up a total of 13 hits, truly an enviable record. * As a catcher for the Bamberg team the writer would prefer "Bub" Coon... er over all the balance of them because he would mean more to his . home team than either one of the : others who might be signed. But in choosing a catcher for the all-stars other considerations must be met and > so "Bub" will have to be passed up. The only other two men worthy of consideration are Hale, of Barnwell, and Stewart, of Denmark. Between the two there is very little balance in either's favor. Both are experienced, have excellent arms and are good bat, ters. Stewart'is probably a little better base runner and has one big advantage in that he hits consistently . from either side of ^he plate. His one ' fault is that he is slightly inclined to beef at his players, but with the material he has this is excusable, and he also has a bad habit of returning ' the ball to his pitcher with more speed than it was delivered, which is altogether unnecessary and at times even silly. However, for tne reasons above given Stewart is awarded the preference. At first base the decision is easy and the writer feels there can be .no argument. Summerland, of Williston, is head and shoulders above the other five. Safe on ground balls, a terror on fly balls, and with a stocky - build and splendid reach he is fine at fielding thrown bajls. He is fairly fast on his feet, and with Williston playing Bamberg and runners on the bases the writer loves to see him come to bat with about the same affection thafc a barber has for a safety razor. > Indeed, it might be said that Summerland is the best ball player in the league, and he has every appearance of being a thorough gentle-! man both on and off the field. j For second base the selection must be made with a little more difficulty, (Continued on page 3, column 1.) j Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic - y restores vitality and energy by purifying and en- * * riching the blood.
