There does not appear to be much
love in American Legion circles foi
Jack Dempsey, who is to battle with
Georges Carpentier next month ioi
the championship. The record oi
Dempsey during the war was not an
enviable one, they say, and it seems
that although Dempsey is the American
claimant of the title, the sympa
thy of the "ex-soldiers is mostly witii
the Frenchman, who served through
the war and won the French croix
de guerre, while Dempsey's attitude
is generally classed as that of a
slacker.
Spooks have always formed the
subject of a special interest on the
part of the people. Ten thousand
people during the past two weeks
have visited an alleged haunted
house in Bristol, Va. When finally
ferreted out by the police the spooks
were found to be rats. This ghost
superstition is not confined to ignorant
people; indeed, we would venture
to wager that among the crowds
visiting this house could be found
men of education, women of culture,
and children of more than average
advantages. It is a condition prevalent
among all people. Folks will
continue to believe in ghosts, al?
? j ^ ? x a* x ^ j
inougn mere is noi an unuispuieu
case on record of the actual sight or
sound of .a "ghost.'' Incidentally the
owner of he house in question reaped
a fine revenue by charging an admission
to hear the ghostly rats. ~
The attitude of President Harding
regarding the appointment of an
American representative to the Vatican
surely meets with the approval
of a vast majority of the citizens of
the United States. The separation
of church and state is a principle of
government upon which America was
founded, and no action should be
taken in any direction that even
\ "hints at any abridgement of this
principle. The United States has
nothing whatever in common with
the government of the Vatican. While
no action has been broached upon
the Qiuestion of a Vatican representative,
it has been hinted at very
strongly, and communications addressed
to the president protesting
any such appointment have been replied
to that the president is in no
way contemplating any such action,
and his replies leave the decided impression
that he is not in sympathy
with the movement, though in sueh a
matter he would be guided by the
action of congress.
What the farmers did with the
money they made during the past
several years is a subject the Au
gusta Chronicle attempts to* discuss.
The Chronicle is of the opinion that
the farmers spent their money just
as wisely, if not more so, than other
people during the prosperous era^
They paid off mortgages, cancelled
old debts, threw a good deal away,
and bought automobiles just like
anybody else. The paper makes a
pertinent point, however, when it
points out that a farmer is just as
much entitled to ride in an automobile
as other peaple. It is a fact
that a merchant or banker is always
expected to have a fine car, or at
least nothing strange is thought
about it when he buys one, but if the
farmer purchases a Ford people
think he is rolling in too much
wealth. The time has arrived,
though, when farming is looked upon
as a necessary industry, and the industrious
farmer is entitled to not
only a good living, but a bank account
as well, and if anybody ever
earned the right to have a pleasure
spin in a car once in a while it is
the man who starts at daylight in the
morning and quits at sundown in
the afternoon putting in the hours
between in labor that ought to be
productive of good profit.

?j "My kingdom for a ball team." Bam1
! bera' has some mighty good iiulividui
! al ball players, probably the best col1
! lection of any town in this section*of
the state. But the word team implies
its own m&aning, while indi
1J vidualism has never yet accomplished
> very much in anything, and a team is
' just what they haven't got. Base
' ball is a game not altogether played
1 with the hands and feet, but requires
1 a slight amount of- skill also and
: each player is supposed to have a
5 head on his shoulders that wtm't
L rattle like a tin can. Indifference
and lack of interest never yet won a
ball game. Poor judgment sometimes
wins in poker but it usually
' loses in base ball. Then too in order
' to play it successfully base ball is a
' game that requires a player to get a
certain amount of rest and sleep the
night before, and with the interest
' manifested by some of the boys if
' any town is particularly anxious to
defeat Bamberg in the future just let
them hint at a big all night frolic the
' evening beforehand and send a kind
invitation to our boys to go over:
there's nothing like being sociable,
you know.
Ehrhardt was proud of beating
Bamberg last Friday, and justly so.
Not that they deserve any special
praise or credit for licking this bunch
the way they rocked along, for
neither town has a' hall team; but
they at least had a game hunch of
fighters who wanted to win and who
were in there playing hard all the
way and never giving up. They were
licked to a frazzle, hut they didn't
know it, and that's the reason they
won. And in the ninth inning with
the score 7 to 1 against them those
two magnificent efforts and wonderful
catches by Roberts playing third
for them clearly demonstrated the
fact that they can't see defeat when
it's staring them in the face. That's
*
what they deserve credit for; they
have some pride, and heaven grant
| that some of the same kind of spirit
along with some team work and "head
work may be injected into the Bamberg
boys; (not team yet, you notice.)
And everybody who went down
there Friday except about seven members
of the socalled team came back
a sad, dejected and yes, sore bunch.
There's no use beating aroufid the
bush about it; we might as well be
frank and let Ehrhardt go to it. And
so long as you treat us as fairly and
act as gentlemanly as you have in
the last two games come to see us
again. But Ehrhardt won't enjoy
any merry-go-round at Rhoad park
while Bamberg stages an airplane
flight, because the locals don't pull
that kindergarten stuff at home. But
some of them are very young and
some nearly in their second childhood
and it might be suggested that if
, nobody would follow them off from
home and let them play a few games
with no supporters present possibly
they would become accustomed to
ffpttin? awav f^om mother's apron
strings a few hours and win a game
on the road occasionally.
Bamberg started this game with a
vengeance on Kirkland in the opening
inning, and Large hit the first
pitched ball for a hard single to
right_ Two runs were made in 1;hat
inning. Bambbrg made no less than
4 6 hits including two clean doubles
and a long tripple; they also uncorked
four errors from their systems.
Ehrhardt got 13 hits, several
for extra bases, and made three errors.
The visitors scored two more
runs in the third by timely .batting
and another in the fourth, and probably
the scores would necessarily
have been kept on the ground if
Barker had not replaced Kirkland in
this inning. In the eighth Barker,
worn from the undue heat and a recent
injury, weakened, and two more
tallies were driven home. Ehrhardt
scored one run in the second and
went until the ninth without another.
They seemed to be just teasing. Then
I the crash came; zip, bang, bop, ana
it was all over but the shouting. The
Woolworth building is pretty high,
but our boys could have looked down
on it and not even recognized it so
far below. Two men wrere finally
put out but seven were put around,
and even in a land of eternal sunshine
with no darkness ever coming
on the scene it is extremely doubtful
if the third batsman would have
been retired before judgment day.
The game was splendidly umpired.
Bamberg's 16 hits should have accounted
for more runs, but an Edisto
river cat fish could show them a few
points about running bases. But, oh
well, we have two more games to
play Ehrhardt this year, and after
that dose the boys will all pull together
now and win them too. They

In the rottenest, most disgusting. |
bone-headed, nauseating farce ever
; staged in Bamberg the locals came
across nine times to Denmark's eight
at Rhoad park Tuesday afternoon.
| The attendance was good?one of the
few things about it that was?but
{ many fans and spectators did not
have?strong enough stomachs to stick
i it through the lo long drawn out
innings, and finally left in disgust bej
fore it was over. Every now and then
| an inning would be played which
slightly resembled base ball and showI
ed that everything on the field wasn't
completely dead and buried, and
so the rottenest exhibition ever plavI
ed in Bamberg, yes, in the world, j
not even barring the previous game
i can, if they will. It's in them; it
j just didn't come out Friday; that's
all. The writer doesn't know the
Ehrhardt boys quite well enough to
recall just how their seven runs were
scored in the ninth to win.
George Price made one neat play
j on short which resulted in a double
[ killing, while Charlie Rentz, Large
and Brabham each got three hits,
one of Charlie's being a triple and one
of Large's a double. For Ehrhardt
Zeigler and Nix got three hits apiece
including a double for each.

Ehrhardt Defeats "Aviators."
Ehrhardt, June 20.?The return
game between Bamberg and Ehrhardt
was played on the latter's dia-,
mond last Friday afternoon. This
game of ball should go down in the
annals of base ball history as the
most unique ever recorded; this
uniqueness being established by the
fact that it was played by ten ("Oh,
no, not ball players, but as the Bamberg
reporter has so gallantly put it)
"gentlemen," representing the Ehrhardt
base ball team, and nine (who
said ball players?) "aviators" from
Bamberg, posing as ball players, but
who really are members of the aviation
corps. These aviators can ride
the clouds with the best of them and
set new altitude records any old day,
but as for picking up hot grounders,
holding them on first, pitching them
where they cannot be hit, or catching
them in center field?why, they
are just not in a class with the
"gentlemen" team.
In the game at Bamberg the week
before Ehrhardt was given a good
trouncing. The team and its loyai
fans were played, guyed and rooted
to defeat. Ehrhardt. came home and
waited. They waited patiently for1
one whole week. Then Friday afternoon
arrived and with it the Bamberg
team. Soon the old game was
in progress. In slashing style Bamberg
tallied twice in the first inning.
Ehrhardt counted once in the second
just to remind all that they would
come across at the propitious moment.
In the third Bamberg put two
more across the rubber, and the
Bamberg fans, of which there were a
goodly number, began to remind us
that we did not have a team of ball
players and that the final result was
a forgone conclusion. Ehrhardt
waited. In the fourth Bamberg filled
the bases with none out. Barker
was called on to relieve Kirkland,
which he did most nobly, holding
them to one run in that frame. Even
after Roberts on third had made two
sensational catches and Bamberg had
counted two more in the eighth, Ehrhardt
was still waiting. The big
ninth opened up. The score stood
seven to one in Bamberg's favor. The
Bamberg fans were perched high up
on the top-most roost crowing lustily.
Bamberg had won another game jtst
as they had exepcted. But wait?
the propitious moment had arrived,
the moment Ehrhardt had waited for.
Surely and swiftly they cut the cables
that were holding the aviators to
mother earth and Hard Luck Warren,
infield, outfield?the whole Bamberg
team went high up into the
fleecy clouds where they played hide
and seek with the unseen stars. The
great Radcliffe was implored to stick
to terra firma and finish the game
but he defied all the laws of gravity
and went up like a sky rocket. Ehr|
hardt scored as many as the rules of
! the game allow, and then sent a wire!
less up for them to come down. If it
! had been necessary for Bamberg to
! get the third out, no one knows how
I many scores would have been made.
Bamberg played a clean game and
! be it said in their honor they evidently
have at least one very distinguished
player on their team, judging from
the thousands of times his name was
called by the Ehrhardt fans.
1
at Ehrhardc. must be officially recorded
in the Tri-county league records
as a ball game.
There were a few features, notable i
among them being the tine pitching!
of young Whitesides, who went to
the box in the eighth inning, and
with the score tied, shut out Denmark
for live innings, with some assistance
from the "aviators." who
! temporarily lit?they have been un|
usually appropriately named that by
the Ehrhardt reporter of The Herald.
Whitesides allowed only three
scattered hits, one or two of them
scratches, and his performance was
more than creditable. Radcliff stepped
to the plate six times and got
four singles and a triple; he made
a nice catch in rignt field and play!
Pfl hard: whilp in rhp hn\- hp did nor
pitcli bad and with a ball team to
support him would have walked off
with the game in easy fashion without
being relieved. Capt. Bamberg
got four singles, and with the score
tied in the fourth, "Gyp" Rentz drove
out a terrific home run with him 011
second. "Gyp's" performance on the
infield was worthy. "Bub" Cooner
caught a fairly steady game and in
the naughty eighth inning caught a
hard foul for the final Denmark out
and then motioned to the other eight
to light as the inning was over.
For Denmark Gibson pitched well
after relieving Bethune, their new
flinger who does not appear to be a
find by any means. iMuhr made some
good plays on short, and Able secured
four clean hits. But the best work
for the visitors was done by Christie,
whose so-called umpiring deserves
special though not very honorable
mention, and in the eighth when the
