K??oro of Ii to :i ? l oN of Action Tmwmmf win Hut? Rgsj Wmmmw for l<??lux - Game. From The Dally Item, June 18. In a regular swntfeast, the Game? rocks hatted four of visitor's pltcherH to every corner of the lot, ami piled up .1 total of twelve run* to three scored by Marlon. The locals started off with one run In the opening Inning, mil held the lend until the fourth. The big scoring or the gume came in the fourth frame. Three hits and an error gave Marion three runs, but the lead thus obtained was short liv? ed, for when the locals took their turn at the bat five hits, one a three bagger, coupled with three errors re? sulted in six additional runs, and from then on It wan plain sailing for the home boys. The visitors were not able to score again, and Humter ad? ded one more run in the fifth apd four In the lucky seventh, which gave them an even dozen runs, with nine to the good* The heavy hitting of F. Chandler, J. Chandler and Drebenstedt featur? ed the game, each getting three hits out of four times up. "Nabisco" Fowler got two hits out of five trips to the plate, and clotted one of them o\? r the boards In left field. Doyle batted five hundred with two hits] credited, and four times at bat. Spann's work In the outfield was the decided feature of the game and the work of the Sumter slabmen al? lowed the visitors but four hits In the entire game, two of which should have been put-outs with a little fast? er fielding.

Marion Got Away With the Second Game Handily, Score & to 3.?Sum? ter hail No Chane? to Win-?Rogers Wa* Whole Show. Three Double I*lays for Sumter. From tne Daily Item, June Id. Why did Sumter lose yesterday? Tho answer la easy, "Rogers." Four to' -a t . all ili.it the locals could real< ise off the delivery of the speedy and heady pitcher, and John Haynsworth, who has at last gotten l>ack Into his hitting strike, copped half of that number. As a matter of fact, Sum? ter wan not entitled to one score, those made being the direct result of errors coming In series. With any? thing like proper support, tho Game Cocks would have been whitewash? ed for tho first time this year. They hail a close call. Final score was G to 3. 1 Mevenstedt was hit pretty freely, and with five errors behind him there was only one thing that kept the score down, and that was three fast doublo plays, which put the stands in a state of frenzy. With the bases full In the third, he batter hit in front of the plate, and Burns pulled of the two out play unassisted by first touching the piste, and tagging the runner. Spann was on the moving end of the finest doublt) play ever seen on the local lot. With a runner on second and one down, Barrett placed a clean hit to left field. Spann fielding the ball rast, caught the runner at the plate, and Burns shot the pill to Haynsworth on second In ample time to complete tho play and retire the side. Another snappy double was pulled off by IMevenstedt, Junes and Boyle. The game was not up to mark, but It was well worthwhile. Score by innings: R. H. E.

Ah the result of a difficulty between , three men and Creighton D. Bradley, three white women were arrested last night and placed under $25 bail on j the charge of disorderly conduct and the three men are being held in jail pending the recovery of Bradley, who was cut in three places during the tight. The men in jail gave their names as W. P. Bunch, J. D. Walters and W. D. Co well, all of Cheraw. The women are said to be from Dar? lington and gave their names as Kath erine Thomas, Mary Reid and Mamie Adams. The difficulty occurred Thursday evening just about dark. It is alleged that the party, who were traveling in a Ford touring car, stopped in front of young Bradley's residence just be? yond the county alms house and were acting in a highly disorderly man? ner. Bradley, it is alleged, asked them to move on, when they cursed him. Other words followed and he started out to the road to them, while some of them came to meet him. A tight followed in which Bradley was struck in the head and cut on the arm, face and in the back, the latter cut penetrating the lung. His wife ran from her home to the residence of Mr. John B. Bradley, where she asked for assistance for her husband. John Bradley, his son and a friend at once ran out to aid Creighton Bradley. Mr. John Bradley did not know who was causing the trouble, but thought it to be some negroes and fired at one, who was running across the field. He missed, however, and went on to the scene of the trouble, separating the combatants and striking some of them before matter? quieted down. In the meantime a telephone mes? sage was sent in from the poor house to the police station to rush the sher? iff and other officers out there and Rural Policeman Boykin, who was passing the police station at the time, was notified and he at once went for the sheriff, who with Chief of Police Sumter, went to stop tho difficulty. When they got to the place, Mr. John Bradley was keeping the car and two women and one man, while the other two men and one of the women had run off up the road. Policeman Boy kin soon looatad the others of tre party a&d all were placed under ar? rest and brought into town. in the I meantime Creighton Bradley had j come on to Sum tor io Dr. Hol man to have his wounds treated. The cut into his lung was the only serious one. He was taken on back home and is said this morning not to be in a very serious condition. After their arrival in town the wo? men were released on bail of $26 each, while the men were placed In Jail until the doctor sttaed that Brad? ley was out of all danger. All were charged with drunkenness and disor? derly conduct. This morning Kather Ine Thomas was re-arested at the Claremont Hotel on the charge of as? sault and battery, It having developed that she was a participant In tho light, and released on a ball pf $25. No other charge besides that of being drunk and disorderly has been placed against any of the others. No time has yet been set for a trial on this charge as Bradley was too badly injured to attend, he being the princi? pal witness. It was stated by the sheriff this morning that he had been Informed that the party spent Thurs? day In Sumter and were on their way out when the difficulty occurred. MKN RELEASED ON BOND. Bradley Reported to Be In No Serious Danger. Upon the report of the attending physician that Creighton Bradley was in no serious danger, the young men who were being held In jail pending his recovery, were released Friday evening about 7 o'clock on bond of $750 each. The bond was arranged for them by L. D. Jennings, Esq., who was secured by them as their attorney, and fixed by Magistrate Moore. There was little difficulty in secur? ing the bond, as soon as it was grant? ed, Messrs. lt. L Wright, W. S. Ray? I nolds, II. V. Raid, L. H. Deas and I Brent Mellette signed as bondsmen. 1 Immediately after their release from jail the young men and women concerned In the affair left town. The farmers of Sumter county who , gave hoed to the advice so generally given last fall to plant more small grain, have now harvested their crops of wheat, oats ami rye and many of them have on hand a surplus over and above what will be needed for farm use this year. The problem now Is to find a market for this grain. Th?? home grown oats is heavier ami better quality than the feed oats sohl on the local market by grain dealers and should command at least an equal price. The local feed dealers buy a good many car loads of western oats and it they want to encourage crop diversification they can do so by ob? taining their supply of oats from .Sumter county farmers.
