THEE BY THE SEA GULLS j1 Not a Tempting Menu but the Kings-j< free Base Ballists Took it i with Equanimity. I J After doing up Georgetown lustj' [week in two consecutive panics I Kingstree's base ballists sighed for v j new worlds to conquer and on Friday tuincd theii attention to another [ seaporttown, viz., the metropolis of j the State. But they were Hying too , high in their endeavor to keep pace { with the sea gulls as the result of the game conclusively proves?ten to nothing in favor of Charleston. ^ The News and Courier gives the following facetious wiite up of the . game: } Kingstree is wrapped in darkest gloom. Her noble sons, who left t that thriving town with visions of ^ victory, brought, hack a story in which the figures ten and zero take prominent parts. j The fans sat. around the soda fount. On the counter stood tall 1 glass Imttles, with red stick eandv inside. "And you say they shut you out?" remarked the man, who always * wants to talk about the way lie used ^ to -.in games. ' Won't you hovs have something cold?" asked the Kiugstreean who played short, in a panania hat. a it.... ti.ml.l im-K.iti.. flint he desired 1 to change t ho su bjeet. c "Something cold! Ten to nothing c is cold enough for me," ami the 0 speaker tilled tilled p pe with Top tobacco. t "Well say, how did they manage to walk off with the game?" asked * the syrup slingcr. 1 "Well, it was this way: When we '' would get a man on base, which was not very often, the pitcher would t get to work and our men would sec ? how close they could borne to the 11 ball without touching it. They did k not touch it or come very t close to it. When Charleston, won Id t get a man on a base the batter would I sacrifice or hit safe. If he did hap- * pen to hit to one of our men he t would side-stop it. Our hits t amounted to nothing; theirs did." # That tells the story. The visitors i played hard uud were thoroughly in 11 earnest, bnt they could not unravel F Sparkniuu's wide outs. 0 The game was featureless. There 11 were no sensational or half-raising catches. There .were no -moments r'( when the s]?ectator held his breath s with both hands and let his face ^ hang open. The spectators sat qui- a etly in their seats and wondered how ? long it would be before the ninth k inning. The Charleston boys scored F whenever they so desired. Kings- 'J tree desired, hut did not score. ? Charleston made her first score in F the second inning. Harry Spark- t man tlew out to short and Alston v made a pretty hit over short. When f Lindstedt was up Alston waltzed r J T flrrtvp ii UUWIl KJ SCVUIiUt UI1UCH.UI. M.V.V safe over first and Alston pulled v open the throttle and came from second home. The right fielder, 1 who had tracked Lindstedt's ball down, threw it home in attempt t<? ? catch Alston and Lindstedt advanced * to second. Shackelford fii? to J pitcher Gilland and Lindstedt 1 started for third. The third base- 1 man was busy seeing Gilland stop * the bifll and third was unguarded. * Lindstedt anchored safely and a Shackelford stole second. He s played off and Gilland tried to catch 1 him, in spite of the fact that Lind- 3 stedt was on third. Second Base- 1 man Fairy muffed the ball 1 J and Lindstedt and Shrckelford a scored. Three scores for-Charleston.- * The fireworks really began in the fourth. McFall came up and hit a July specimen to third. Hirschman ( , handled- the ball well, but was off ; I hi his throw to first. Then Matthews took one where thfc chicken received the axe. Ed ^parkman bunted and the bases were all occupied. Then indeed iid the Kings tree short stop pull lown his hat over Ins lantern and wonder why he left houie. Harry >parkman hit to Hllland and the >iteher tripped and fell, just before browing the ball to first. McFall ind Matthews trotted in and E Spark man rested on second. Then Mston and Lindstedt fanned. Shackelford made a pretty hit over bird and the two Sparkmans scored. The fielder tried to slaughter H Sparkman at the plate and Shack Iford tried for third. .Just as he lropped preparatoiy to a slide lirschman rubbed the sphere - on lint. Seven scores in the fourth lining! Truly it was hard on the \ingstrec boys. McKinlev made the run of the :veiling in the fourth. He was hit >y a pitched ball and rested at otirth. Toen McFall hit to left md MeKinley started home. Down >y second he circled and simply ould not stop at third. He escaped it home only by the skin of his eeth. COLORED FARMERS' INSTITUTE. \nd Educational Rally?Addresses by Miller, Beck and Wilkerson. Quite a crowd of coloied citizens i&scnihled in the court house 011 Satuday, the occasion being the farmrs' institute and educational rally, inducted by Presf Thos. E. Miller if the State college. President Miller.called the meetng to order at 12:30 o'clock. After tating the object of the gatheiing le introduced as the tirst speaker, J J lleck, who is now conducting the I'erchers' Summer School here. Prof Peek spoke uhout ten miujtcs on the subject, "The Public ichool System, its object and how to naintain it." Among other things ic said that the public school sysuiii ?-.ij \(.'Vi<if if aimiilrl TIip rnns were }oo short and salaries xtor; but it is the duty of the oitiens of each school district to form hemsehes into a voluntary associaion for the improvement of the chool in their district, by suppleuenting the public funds. He irged the necessity of having good inblic schools as the masses have no ther oppoitunities. Education is iceessary to good citizenship. R S Wilkerson, of the State c?dege, who is also one of the intructors of the colored Summer School here, was next introduced nd spoke in the same strain. He aid that the public schools would ' e improved in proportion as the >atrons manifested interest in them, ['hat we need to do more for ourelves. Too much help tends to >roduce inertness. The Styite would >e encouraged to do more if we rould do something for ourselves. )ne of the imperative needs in alnost every rural school district is an mprovement in the school buildings rhich are veritable cold traps. The speaker then introduced Pres rhos E Miller, who began by saying, 'A prophet is not without honor ave in his own country." He reerred to the fact that he had some rears ago opposed the raising of noney for carrying the registration aw to the U S courts on the grounds hat the negro had no one to carry lis case properly before the courts ind could not get a favorable decision. He was pleased to see that hough it took time to prove them ret his predictions were true. He hen discussed the condition of the ; legro, the kind of education needed, ind gave some wholesome' hdvice to eachers, farmers and others present.
