In what were characterized as the two best games of baseball played in Suinter since the city went out of pro? fessionalism, the locis twice trimmed the strong Wilmington team on Mon? day, the score of the morning being 4 to 2 and in the afternoon the result was 5 to 4. Both gumcs were well played and were worthy of the largest crowds which have attended any base? ball games here since Clemson and Trinity colleges played here in 1911. They also exempWled the fact that Sumter has a team which is one that the people of the town may well be proud of and one that they should Rive their hearty support to. The games were not won on flukes, but by the hard and consistent playing of the locals all the way through. Timely hits gave them the game in one of the most thrilling ninth in? ning finishes ever seen on the local I diamond. Mabry's homer won the morning game. Home runs were thrice repeated. Joe Chandler and Kite repealing Mabry's morning per? formance In the afternoon. The Wil? mington team is a strong bunch of players and the locals may well feel proud of their feat. The morning game started off with Frank Chandler In the box for the lo? cals and Sheperd for the visitors. The visiting slabman had slightly the ad? vantage of the local man. He struck out thirteen men to Chandler's eight and gave only six hits, when eight were secured off Chandler. .Score by innings: It. H. E.
