TIU-COUXTY ALL STAK TEAM.
(Continued from page 2, column 1.)
because tliere is not a real sure
enough honest to goodness second
baseman in the league. Charlie Rentz
is a grand ball player, but nobody
ever accused him of being an infielder.
As no selection of Tri-County players
would be complete without the name
of Wally Xorris, of Blackville, on the
list, we place him on second, although
he has not been playing this
position. But he can do it because
he has had several years' experience
on the infields of the South Atlantic
association. He can pick them up in
fast order, has a fine wing, can take
a throw and tag a runner accurately,
is'fast and a demon with the willow.
At short several men must be considered.
Bull's weak hitting throws
him out. Allen, of Allendale, is good,
but is rather slow on the bases, and is
otherwise a tiny bit lacking. Ramsey,
of Denmark, is a mighty good man,
but is actually too fast for his own
good and for his team. Many ball
players play ahead of themselves. So
for his all round worth, skill and"
ability Turnipseed, of Bamberg, is
given the palm. Turnipseed is fast
and covers a world of territory on the
infield. He is the premier short stop
of the state on ground balls to his
left close to second base and is not
bad on them to his right. He has a
peg almost equivalent to a Springfield
army rifle, has been well coached and
is a good base runner and batter.
The writer deems the choice for
third base to be as easy and as lacking
in argument as that of first. Some
may differ with us but we can see
nothing to this but "Gyp" Rentz, of
Bamberg. By far the greatest fielder
of ground balls in the league and
having never played any other position,
"Gyp" is a past master on the
art of playing third. The Germans
couldn't find him rattled or unsteady
and of course a ball team can't. He
is a fine hitter and if Bamberg is to
continue to put out a ball team the
writer is mighty glad this lad can't
hit around .333, because ere many
more nights had passed "Gyp" would
be gobbled up by the majors and we'd
find trim dissipating around the white
lights of Broadway and 42nd 'street.
A veritable wizard at'third the former
Baltimore hotel detective is the class
of anything in the south.
For the outfield there are at least
six splendid gardeners and it's hard
to leave off any of them. Carter Price,
of Barnwell, is a safe man with the
stick and is pretty fast, but he is not
as safe in the field as at the bat and
doesn't cover the ground which a
man of his speed should. Frank Bamberg,
of Bamberg, is an rideal lead off
man at the bat, the best base runner
in the league, having the famous hook
slide down to perfection. But Frank's
eyes ?are weak enough to affect his
hitting as well as his playing a sun
field to such an extent as to cause
him to barely miss the all-stars. Bill
Brabham and Pete Watson, of Bamberg,
are both good ball players, but
both have their weak points. So the
all-stars would gra"b "Buck" Browning
out of Blackville's center field and
put him in left. "Buck" has had
years of experience, has a good arm,
covers acres of territory, is fast on
the bases and a reasonably fair batter.
In center field would go John McMillan,
of AJlendale. He is a veteran of
considerable professional experience,
caij go into left or right field for fly
balls and can get them either behind
him or in front. His peg to the plate
is above the average. He knows the
game from Genesis to Revelations and
is a dangerous man for any pitcher
to face. In right field is placed the
. premier man of the trio, a man who
is too good a ball player to oe kept
off the all-stars and whose batting
alone would insure him a place on
any team that could be picked. This
is Charlie Rentz, of Bamberg. Charlie
is certain death to fly balls and
can get them in any direction. He is
after them at the crack of the bat,
and is fair on the bases. In addition
to this any pitcher simply commits
'suicide who puts them over the plate
for him with runners on the bases.
There is hardly any such thing as a
complete bair team which numbers
only nine men. So we are fortunate
in having just the player as an all
round utility man, substitute and
pinch hitter, Otto Large, of Bamberg,
fills this job to a queen's taste.
He can catch, play any position on the
infield and is a regular outfielder, besides
slamming the apple for a per-,
centage close to the coveted .400.
This team consists of ten men, five
from Bamberg, two from Blackville, j

ton and Denmark. Possibly other
scribes could make some better se4
lections, but the writer has tried to
pick them free of all prejudice or
partiality, and believes that with the
addition of three or four equallyt as
reliable and dependable twrirlers as
Smith a thorough base ball manager
could take this club of all-stars from
our league and for consistent ball
playing day in and day out hold his
own with any club In the Sally league,

So It Vaporized and Went "Blooey!"
Here is this unfortunate motorist, right out in the "sticks," forty
miles from nowhere, with his engine hot as blazes, the oil vaporized,
and him facing the cold fact that he can't budge another foot
until he can get a fresh supply of oil?
If he had had his crank case filled with "GREEN FLAG" he would
not now be gazing into his engine in blank helplessness? 1
Motor Oils of inefficient quality, or insufficient viscosity (body)
quickly break down under the terrific temperature generated by the
rapidly operating motor?
You'll always "play safe" against these troubles and
expenses by using "Green Flag" Motor Oil of the
