Pitching of Haynsworth ami Edwards PS stored the Uame?Reaves Qeti Tliroc Baggers?Crowd Did Bomo Good Rooting for Homo Team. The Gamecocks went down In de? foal Friday afternoon h< fore tho j boys from the Bt. Johns' High school I at Darlington when the two crossed bats at tin- local baseball park) the icors being three to one in favor of the risltora although that score doea not mark [he relative playing of the two teams, for the Sumter hoys were in good farm and outhatted and ontpltohed their opponents and stole numerous bases on them. There was a fa'rly good crowd out to see the game, but not nearly so 'arge an audit nee of rooters as the game deserved. The rooting by the fans present was good to see and was of a high (dass, but It was not quite gbli to pull the homo bo>*3 out of the holo into which they fell. The game Wag one of the fastest and best games between high school teams ever witnessed In Sumter, few er? rors being made and good fast play? ing marking the game all the way through. The first score v ??s made by the CJameeocks. This ca, le in .he first part of the first inning when Heaves, Ihi tirst man at the bat knocked off a three base hit and Dullant followed with a two-socker. This beginning *!so ended the scoring for Sumter for nit hough after this several men made good bits and reached third they were RdVer able to pass in home before the third out was registered by the scorer. I The Darlington boys also played ttaasy ball. Their scoring came in OBJ the last half of the fourth Inning' when three hits were secured off i i Haynsworth and Brown at third base made two errors which gave them their score. This- was the only chance they had to score in the game and the scores wouid probably not have been made then had It not been for the errors of the home team. In the box Haynsworth had slightly the better of bis opponent. He struck out eleven men und the opposing team got fewer hits from him than did his team from Edwards. Fewer bases were stolen on him than on the Dar? lington pitcher, although Edwards showed some classy form. Edwards truck out nine men and played a good game all the way through, get? ting two hits off his opponent to help win his own game. The line-up of the two teams wis n<* follows: Darlington. Sumter. Bailey, C. Heaves. McKelthan. lb. Durant. Hill. lb. Thomas Brlstow, 3b. Brown. BfeOlll, ta, Barrett. Edwards, p. Haynsworth. Watson, rf. Simpson. Norment, cf. McKay. Coggeshell, if. Blddall. Cmplre.
