Williston Meets Defeat at Rhoad Pai
Friday by Score of 8 to 5.
With Otto Large, Will Brabha
and Charlie Rentz leading the o
fense in frequent savage attacks upc
the hitherto unbeatable Smythe tl
league leading Williston team b
the dust at Rhoad park Friday ar
went down in defeat under the drii
of the Bamberg boys by a score of
to 5. The locals must also gn
*ive thanks to two others, little Bil
Whitesides, doing his masterly twir
ing, and Dukes at first base for Wi
liston, whc played the greatest gan
of ball for Bamberg of any man wi
ever stepped on the diamond <
* Rhoad park. He certainly was wit
us Friday. Jamison, a port side hur
er, or rather, a recruit, from S
George, began the mound duty fc
Bamberg, but his support was loos
and .wobbly and his offerings wei
also rapped rather freely and at o]
portune times. So at the beginnin
of the fifth he was relieved by th
master of the Tri-County league bat!
men. One more time little Bill
Whitesides was called from obscurit
and kiddish insignificance into th
. thick of the fray with the odds fou
, to one against him and the dashin
invaders assaulting every effort an
charging swiftly, surely and fiercel
against the defenders of the forlor
stout heart, smiling countenance an
gallant confidence beat back the or
rushing forces, stemmed the tide c
almost certain defeat and turned i
into victory, mounted to the immorta
baseball heights of fame, grasped th
top most round of the pinnacle o
glory and emerged from the tryin
t ; battle in triumphant victory as i
conquering hero. Say what "you wil
about this lad. He may have hors
shoes plastered all over him; he ma
receive sensational support, and h
does; the goddess of luck may hav

lasting fortune and entemal succes
In his every endeavor; yes, you ma;
/ even say that he hasn't enough stul
on the ball to hit it, but through i
all little Billy has never yet faltered
and even without the proper encour
agreement and opportunity he has in
variably held his stand in the breac]
against every club so unfortunate a
to have to face him, and today th

everything would be lovely.
Smythe had won 8 straight game
without a loss. Five errors wen
chalked up behind him, but even a
that the scorer showed every consid
V . eration for the fielders. The local
made two errors. Williston gatnerei
ft':.' ten
hits from the two home pitchers
while Smythe gave up eleven. Larg
felt him for two screaming triples
v. * ? Brabham
got a double and two sing
les, and Charlie Rentz banged ou
four clean* singles, most of them ii
the pinches, and gave evidence of th
fact that he behaved himself bette
nn his recent Sunday school trip t
?
Greenville than he did last year a
Atlantic City. The visitors bunche
three hits in the first inning by Trot
ti, Lott and Odiorne, along with
sacrifice and a stolen base which nel
i'.-1
ted them two runs. They ran in tw
more in the third with the assistanc
of some weird work by the winner
and a misconception of the infield fl
rule by the umpire, and their fine
tally was recorded in the fifth o:
Bill Whitesides when Arthur Kennt
dy doubled to left and Lott single
to right. Large started the fraca
for Bamberg with a Jack Dempse
wallop to the corn field in rigfc
center for three bags, and counted o
Brabham's single back of short. I
the fifth Otto again started troub]
for the winners of the first half b
another Jack Dempsey punch dow
the right field line for three sacK;
and scored as Brabham doubled t
right. Three runs were scored by th
boys in this inning, three more in th
seventh and one in the eighth, mostl
by consecutive safe hitting and th
miserable work of the Williston ir
field, which was too rotten to be d(
scribed in detail in a family newsps
per. It was far from being a goo
ball game; in fact, it isn't very ai
propriate to term it a baseball gam
at all, but just the same, the horn
boys won, so we should worry. Scor

CAN WIN; MUST WIN.
Sporting Editor Suggests More Interterest
Be Taken By Players.
This article-is being written Saturday
before the second half of the?
Tri-County league begins. It is written
with no desire to knock, nor with
any intention of criticising without
first having a good motive behind it
and the interests of the boys and the
city of Bamberg at heart. The writer
has never been classed as a knocker,
and on the contrary he was one of
the few, yes, very few, boosters for
our boys towards the latter part of
last season when everybody else had
out their hammers and worked them
over time. He has seen too much
* a-*-* 11 4- y-v onr loom iiri/lor

the canopy of heaven to win every
game it plays. He believes that almost
every man who wears a Bamberg
uniform is his personal friend,
and he r.t least cherishes the friendship
of them all and needs it. Indeed,
if he did not have a warm personal
feeling for them, and did not
know they had the stuff in them to
cop that old rag this article would
not be written.
The writer can sympathize with
any ball player who is out there in
the broiling hot sun toiling away for
his health's sake and a little honor
and glory for his home town with no
cash for himself. But this league is
not operated for money or professionalism,
but purely for good sportsmanship
and the good of the six
towns involved, and so our boys
should also stop to think that what's
worth doing at all is worth doing
well, that they are performing a
public service and a public duty, and
that while they may not get rich at
it, nevertheless, they are performing
before hundreds of people who
pay the regular admission charges
from their own breeches pockets, and
that they don't get satisfaction when
they put out their cash to see a farce
regardless of who wins. They should

ing the uniform of a mighty chesty
little city, proud of its past base ball
record of never putting out a losing
club, and a bunch of fans who are
the hardest losers In the world, for
the simple reason that we have always
won, and are full of town
pride. They should stop to think
that almost every town in this section
of the state is envious and jealous
of Bamberg's base ball prowess
for years and years, and for that very
reason we hardly have a friend or
supporter two - miles out. They
should take to heart, grit their teeth,
go after the pennant with a grim determinaion
and say we will do or die,
! and with the old poilu's resoluteness
! at the famous German seige or
Paris, "They shall not pass, they
shall not pass." Bamberg has more
good ball players than any town of
similar size in the state; they have
the goods to deliver if they will do
it, and the players are here to win
the championship of the second half
and finally the pennant. But we
haven't enough of them to win if
each man at some time or other feels
it his sacred duty to trot off when
we have a game and leave the team in
a hole; neither will frolicking and
carousing win ball games. Such in

the lineup by taking that particular
man out, but they take the ginger
i out of the balance of the players, demoralize
the club and kill the morale
| of the team, and with these all pros|
pects go glimmering. It does seem
j that the boys should at least display
an equal amount of interest with the
fans. The Bamberg players who are
home boys are representative citizens
of the social, commercial and political
life of the town and community,
and if such men as these haven't sufficient
public spirit and civic pride to
nco tVipir hest efforts and forego a
little racing around for just a short
while until the brief season is over
when they will have loads of time to
make merry before fall, then how on
top side of mother earth can they
expect the hired players to care a rap
about it? So come on, boys, let's all
pull together and bring home the bacon;
the fans are with you; are you
with the fans and for your town?
We can win; we must win; and we
will. And just as an inspiration,
here's fifteen rahs for the 1920 TriCounty
league champions.
