SUMTER'S BALL PLAYERS.
.A Few Facts About the 3Ien Who
AVill Work With Gunter.
Manager C. Guy Gunter and the
"pick of the baseball players whom he
ias been.trying out on the local dia
' mond for the past two weeks, left
^yesterday morning for Spartanburg,
"where Sumter opens the season !
^against the Sparenburg team" this j
afternoon. Manager Gunter made the I
trip to the up-country yesterday so as !
'to give the men a day and night to
test and recuperate from the fatigue
of the journey before going into the
-.game. Had he made the trip this
"-morning the men would have had togo
-almost directly from the depot to the
' hall ground and could not possibly
-have be^n in condition to do their
Vhest work.
" nuer the rules adopted by the di
re^ors of the State League each
'rte?Ta :s limited to twelve men, includ
ing the manager, but the managers
have two weeks time- from the open
ing of the season in which to get
clown to the limit. All of the teams
iiave had a large number of players
on the "tryout" list and will keep a
few more than the number permitted
*2ntil the actual work on the diamond
shows which of the lot it is best to
-keep on the team.
tanager Gunter has more than the
Ttimit 'in the bunch that he has taken
to Spartanburg, but expects to re
.eUace his playing force to eleven men,
^himself included, within the time
limit and by the time the team re
turns to the city for the games with
Orangeburg next Monday it will
probably be pretty well settled who
will make the team.
The following are the men from
"whom Manager Gunter will make his
final selection, the others having been
tried out and found not good enough
to keep:
C. Guy "unter, captain and manger,
the most widely known bali player in
South Carolina. Guy is an old Caro
lina bril player. He was with the
"Colombia team the first year of the
Sallie league; was the organizer and
commander-in-chief of the pennant
winning Can. en team, and will work
^ard tu finish near the top of the lad
der this year.
I- H. Stephens, catcher, is from
'J rmingiiam, Ala. He has been play
iz S" professional ball for over four
years, and has a head and a wing that
^sili make the dope writers push the
p- iJCii- Last year he was with the
Georgia State league, and finished
^v?Ja Darlington in the State league.
tEQey PSatt, pitcher, was with To
3?e0ro, Ohio, last year, and has been up
3z he National league. He is an ex
."SoiAfcero. leaguer and has plenty of
.5x>>ej aas good curves.
36te l>c--:.T,.Tr. pitcher, is from Troy,
IN, T. He was with Roanoke in the
"\1rglnia State league: he is a hard
"worker end has everything. He will
tar easily in this league.
Tribble, pitcher, was with Way
.ssross. Ga., in the Georgia State
- eagrue, and finished the season with
l fcmtg^mery in the Southern league,
pitching three games and winning all
-vrf them He is a big fellow, and has
the calico.
Sam P. Richardson. Ditcher, a
Charleston boy, was with the victo
rious Camden team last year. He led
the league pitchers, winning 17 out
.:>f 21 games. One of the games in his
^>.i^ column was the final game of
the hamden-Darlington series, which
^g>e "Ste rag to Camden.
.Marion Murrow, of Greensboro, N.
J
C., is a first-sacker of enviable repu
tation. He handles himself graceful
ly, and scoops up the hard ones in
storm. He led the State league in
batting last year, his hitting being
.chalked up at 356.
Fred Springs, second baseman, is
from Washington. X. C, and is an old
South Atlantic player. He is a fast
man, covers lots of ground, hits well,
and steals bases like Schirm.
E. Lindsey, shortstep, from Greens
boro, X. C, is a wonder when it
comes to covering ground. He was
with Charleston during the first part
of the season and is one of the best
all-round men on the team.
Bill Wynne, third baseman, anoth
er one of Camden's champions, is
with the Game Cocks this year. He
was purchased from Xor>lk, of the
Virginia State league, for a neat sum,
which in itself shows that the man
agement expects great things of him.
He is showing up splendidly. Last
year he batted 265.
Clarence Allison, of Kentucky, was
recently with Jacksonvillie in the S.
A. L. He is the fastest outfielder ever
seen here. he has a better and a
surer arm than Bob Wallace and can
sting 'em with che bat.
Ralph MaLaurin is from McCall, S.
C. He was at one time one of the
best pitchers in the south, until he
was injured by a blow on the arm. He
is now playing a fast outfield, and has
Hugh Phelps, a Sumter boy who has
been doing good work in the practice
games, is trying for a berth with the
team.
The following are the men with
which the other teams will open the
season. As will be seen, practically
all of the teams now have more men
than the rules permit, but within the
two weeks all will reduce to twelve
men. All the teams are composed of
experienced ball players, and fast ball
may be expected:
