A SHORT SKETCH OF WILLIAMSBURG'S
CHAMPIONS.
They Have a Record of .857, as Cdm?" *?
puted by the National League,
Which is a Very High
Average.
Now that the baseball season is
!
over, we will give a breif account
ofsoine of the games played during
the summer. It is a well known
fact that Kingstree's crack team
Kj
won twelve out of fourteen games
played in this county. While, of '
course, we will not go into thede?
tails of every game, we will en
deavor to bring out some points
m- of interest all along.
pi ' The first game of the season was
played with the Lake City club, on
their ground. Our boys haa been .
practicing very little and were
hardly in shape to appear upon
the field. A picnic was given nenr
the grounds of the Lake-Crtians,
and to this our team was invited
In th#? afternoon the game to??|;
1 here wan lo.n of kicking. for | here
r was lots of kicking at the decisions
of the umpire, who was not at
fault, and the members of Kings
tree's club did a gre.-'t part. Quite
a number of spectators witnessed
the game, and they were all more
or less disgusted at the' pow wow1'
' * si
Moore was badly hurt. j <
among the players, but no one
, seemed to be angry. After a long
>* _ and uninteresting fight, the game ,
wa3 won by the Lake-City boys by i
t' one run. |(
The second game with Lake City |
took place some weeks later, on
Kingstree soil, and
7 our club was victo
rious, the score being
28 to 6. A third 4&T\\
f, , game was to have
been played between |
the two nines, but
when the Kingstree U|
; club took the field no w ,
batter showed u p for / \
the visitors, and thcfc?~-~-?

and two at Indiantown.
In the first

played here, Kingstree won. It
looked as if the visitors would be
shut out, but in the fourth inning
J. Ervin was struck in the face by
a pitched ball from Gilland, and
ihe youthful pitcher became wild
and allowed nine Q
runs to be made w
that inningr. About A ^*^7/

day of reckoning
came. Our team

to win sure. About

there was an n XOw

of that con \r^

in some of the young men who
came here to play ball.
"My boy came ltnne home from
school one day with his hand badly
lacerated and bleeding, and suffering
great pain," says Mr. EJ Sehall
with Meyers Bros' Drug Co., St.
Louis, Mo. "I dressed the wound
and applied Chamberlain's Pain
Balin freely. All pain ceased, ana
in a remarkably short time the
wound healed without leaving a
scar. For wounds, sprains, swellngs
and rheumatism I know of no
medicine or prescription equal to
it J consider it a household necessity."

Avoid lhe scolding tone. A tired
mother may find it hard to do this;
but it is she who will get the most
good by observing the rule. The
tone of scoldiiag tells upon the
throat just where a woman who is
not overstrong: is apt. to feel the
ache of extreme fatigue. The children,
too, whe are great imitators,
will be sure to catch the scolding
lone, and will talk to their dolls.
