The regular meeting of the Civic League was held June 6th, but was adjourned immeditely upon the an? nouncement of the death of one of the members, Mrs. George Lo ring, who had been an active and interest? ed worker for the league.. m m m On June 17th the Civic League met in the Elks' club parlors. This meet? ing was well attended and much im? portant business was transacted. Nine new names were added to the mem? bership roll. Final reports from the May festi? val committees were very satisfactory, showing gratifying results. It was decided to extend thanks, through the press, to those who had assisted the league. The historical room, which is to be established in the new Court House, was again discussed, and members were urged to interest themselves in securing valuable relics to be placed there this fall. It was suggested that all members of the league read Parliamentary Law for Women, by Emma Fox. The most important motions de? cided upon were the following: To give the city nurse a summer j vacation of two weeks. To contribute $25 toward the State Reformatory Fund, being raised by the South Carolina Federation of Wo? man's Clubs. To appoint a committee to study ways and means toward attaining the "City Beautiful." To establish a "Civic League Post Box," to which all communications relative to civic work can be sent, by any one interested. These letters to be regarded as confidential by the League. The object of this Post Box is to invite suggestions and reason? able criticism bf the work being done, but no communication will be consid? ered unless signed. It has been deemed advisable to continue the League meetings during the summer. The regular meetings are held the first Monday in each month at 6 o'clock p. m. in the Elks Club parlors. Xew members are spe? cially urged to attend meetings. An election will be held in Rich? land county the second Tuesday in August for the purpose of voting on the dispensary question.

Greenville, June 18.-In the fastest game seen on the local diamond this season Greenville took the second of the series from Spartanburg this af? ternoon. It was a neck and neck race until the eighth, when Greenville goc the second man across the plate. The game was in doubt until the end. Spartanburg put up a surprisingly strong game, but Laval, for Green? ville, was steady and the home team won. Score: Greenville 2, Spartanburg 1. Darlington Won. Darlington, June 18.-Darlington 6- Orangeburg 1, and fans wildly jub? ilant. This tells the story in a few words. The result came at a most op? portune time, as Darlingtonians were getting very impatient over losing so many games. A reorganization was effected last night, and among other changes, D. T. McKeithan was made president of the club. Anderson Won Wednesday. Anderson, June 19.-Anderson won the third game of the series with Sumter this afternoon by a score of 5 to 4, making two out of three.

Spar? tanburg was unable to score in spite of an errorless game on the side of the visitors. Mennier was batted pret? ty heavily by Greenville. The score was, Greenville 5, Spar? tanburg 0. Darlington Lost Wednesday. Darlington, June 19.-Orangeburg shut Darlington out in the game this afternoon by a score of 5 to 0. In? ability on the part of the locals to bit at critical times last the game for the home team. Darlington had sev? eral opportunities to score, but failed tc make use of them. The game, while in no way spectacular, was interest? ing. SUMTER AND GREENVILLE PLAY FOR ELEVEN INNINGS WITH? OUT SCORING. The greatest game of ball ever played in Sumter was seen at the park Thursday beteen the Game Cocks and the Mountaineers. While it was primarily a pitchers' battle, yet i* was more exciting and spectacular than the ordinary contest of that na? ture, for the fielding was particularly brilliant, and each pitcher escaped with less hits against him than or? dinarily would be the case. The opposing slabmen were Ham for Sumter and Laval for Greenville. Ham had the best of it all around and should have won his game. Only two singles were secured off his deliv? ery, while the Game Cocks batted out s< von. one for an extra base. In every other department of pitching. Ham outpointed the Mountaineer, yet the work- of Laval was great and by the comparison it is not with the purpose in view to take a particle of credit from the clever little southpaw. His headwork in pulling out of holes, his splendid control and his knowledge of the batters that face him charac? terize him as one of the best in the league. Both teams played brilliant ball, and with such playing either team or? dinarily would have scored a victory. It was the class of ball playing that the Sumter people want, and win or lese they are with the team when j they put up the article that was on I display yesterday. The finest work that this leagrue has so far seen was done by Lindsay at short. This particular Game Cock, played a game that could not be ex? celled in any league. He took the difficult chances without so much as a fumble, and he shot them to first with beautiful accuracy. He made three stabs that were nothing less than marvelous, and his continued: good work met with the most enthu? siastic applause from the large turn? out of fans. The other players who featured were Springs at third for the Game Cocks. Landy in left and Stouch at second for the visitors. Fully 1.000 fans were at the game, and among the delighted spectators were President M. L. Smith and his young son, Buck. The game wassail? ed at the end of the eleventh inning on account of darkness. Orangeburg Wins Again. Spartanburg, June 20.-Orangeburg won from the locals by a score of 4 to tc 0. Darlington Defeated. Darlington, June 20.-The Electri? cians turned their battery on the Fid? dlers this afternoon and the current was so strong that Darlington was paralyzed. She, however, succeeded in scoring two runs out of eight, but was clearly outclassed by Anderson. The fans are wildly clamoring for new players and some action along this line is eagerly anticipated. Mr. Dan T. McKeithan, who succeeds Mr. J. T. Langston as president, can be depended on to either call "down and out" or to insist on better playing. The local team is sadly in need of re? inforcements and a change is looked for and that right early. IX THE SECOXD GAME SUMTER WOX FROM GBJE^~VILIiE-4 SCORE 3 TO 2. The Game Cocks and the Moun? taineers went at each other good and hard Friday. The game was one of the hardest fought of tlie season, and like the contest of the day before was played in big league style. The teams were evenly matched, the pitchers were effective, and the result of the game was in doubt up to the very last. By innings: Greenville. . .. . ..000 OOO 020-2 Sumter.OOO 300 00*-3 Time of Game-One hour and twen? ty-five minutes. Darlington Wins From Anderson. Darlington, June 21.-Darlington played better ball this afternoon and took the game from Anderson. There were several good plays by both teams, but the game was not a sensa? tional one. Score-Darlington 7. Anderson 3. Orange Our g Takes Another. J Spartanburg, June 21.-The Spar- ? tans lost the second game of the series to Orangeburg this afternoon by a ?core of 3 to 1. Again the Musicians appeared outclassed in fielding and particularly in batting. McMakin's rr en got only ?four hits. In the last . three games the Musicians have play- J ed they have gotten only ll hits all told. LAST GAME TAKEX FROM MOUN? TAINEERS-SCORE 4 TO 3. Ey defeating the Mountaineers in the final game of the series, the Game Cocks once more go to the head of the percentage column. The game Saturday was not charac? terized by the same class of playing as has marked the other games with the Mountaineers. There were en? tirely too many errors, especially on the part of the locals. Springs was J* particularly unfortunate, his four er- ^ rcrs, made at critical times, gave to the visitors every run they made. By innings: ( . Greenville.020 000 100-3 Sumter.011 000 02*-4 At Spartanburg. Spartanburg, June 22.-Spartan? burg won from Orangeburg by the close score of 1 to 0. scoring one run in the fourth inning. 1 At Darlington. Darlington. June 22.-For fifteen innings, the locals and Anderson fought, the Electricians winning final? ly by a score of 5 to 4. It was one of the most spectacular games of the '2 season. LOST TO SPARTAXBURG. Spartanburg. June 24.-By fast, clean fielding the Musicians shut out Guy Gunter's men from Sumter here today by a score of 4 to 0. The Spar- ~? tans played fast ball in the field, making one error only, and a feature of their playing was a throw by Coles from right field, cutting off a runner at third. With the stick the team did not make any great showing. By innings: Spartanburg.000 003 10*--I Sumter.000 000 000-0 m At Anderson. Anderson. Jun*> 24.--Anderson de? feated the new Darlington team by a score nf 3 to 2. Kemp was the only man of the old Darlington team to play. At Orangeburg. Orangeburg. June 24.-Laval's pitching for Greenville was the fea? ture today, and the Mountaineers carried off the game with a score of 7 to 3.
