The plindpAl work In yesterday's j
came was on the mound. Chandler i
_ !
and Turner twirled like mad, ami.
? ach pitched Winning ball, but a num- |
her of llukes sent the tide of victory!
i lirst one way and then another, un- j
til. after ten rounds of various kinds |
uf ball, the game woud up in a hard ,
not, 2 to 2.
Sumter drew first blood in the llfth
inning. Flowers was safe on error of
first; Spann landed on the initial bag
by the same route; Flowers bunched
it to the third corner, and when the
catcher threw wild to nab him, the
first run was counted?and that with?
out a hit.
In the eighth the visitors nearly put
the game on ice. Flowers fumbled
Carter's easy chance, and then threw
wild to first. J. Kelly singled and by
the time the locals had passed the
ball around the diamond endeavoring
to catch one and then the other of
the runners, one was safely seated on
second while the other reposed on
third. Two sacrifice files in succes?
sion by Girardeau and Weir were re?
sponsible for the t\Mo runs, and Odom
went out of a high fly to White in
center. W'th hardly any hits being
counted against either of the slab
men, the one run lead looked like
enough to win. Had not Chandler in?
tercepted a throw into the plate when
Kelly scored, the game would in all
liklihood have been p !ocal victory.
Jn th< ninth Innlngi th one down,
White ha\ :ng gone out vn an infield
chance, Drevenstedt delt the pill a
terrible wallop. As the bail left his
bat it took a slightly upward flight
and went over the boards for three
bags. Un Joe Chandler's sacrifice fly,
Boyle running for Drew scored the
tleing run. And the stands roared.
Mabry fanned for the final out.
In the tenth inning, there was
nothing doing on either side, so it will
remain to be determined by today's
game as to which team is the bettor.
Columbia has a strong bunch, and
they will be hard to down. However,
Manager White will introduce to the
stand today a new pitcher, who is re
putod to be able to turn the trick.

Minis' 1 lour Mill.
Mr. E. T. Mims who has a roller
flour ndll at Trinity, which he has
operated for several years, has re?
fitted the plant and will begin grind?
ing whoat next Wednesday. His plant
is up-to-date in all particulars and
turns out two grades of Hour besides
bran, etc. The starting up of this
mill will be welcome news to wheat
growers, for they have experienced
great difficulty in having their wheat
converted Into Hour, since all the oth?
er Hour mills in this and adjoining
counties have been overrun with
grinding. Another thing that will be
welcome news to wheat growers is
that Mr. Minis will charge only one
eighth (1-8) toll. There is general
complaint that some of the other mills
are charging excess-ive toll. Mr. Mims
says that he has been operating his
mill for several years, and although
the wheat crop heretofore has been
limited, he found it profitable to run
the mill on one-eighth toll.

In u game abounding in excitement,
and featured by errors and a fair
sprinkling of real bonehead plays on
the part of both teams, Sumter came
out on top Friday by a score of 6 to
1. In most of the innings, jam-up
bmJl was played, and occasionally
there would be a complete reversal of
form, and a state of panic seemed to j
be in full swing, and, in those spells,
When the ball was tossed around, the i
sky was the limit Then, high-balls
could be had even without the asking.
Most of the time there was plenty of
snap and pep in the game, and close- 1
ness of tho contest made it a most in?
teresting struggle for the spectators.
Weeks, the new pitcher, who will
be seen again in Sumter during the
next series, was invincible. He yield?
ed but four hits in the nine innings
that he performed, and but one run
should have been counted against
him, He had everything and fielded
his position beautifully.
Sumter started off auspiciously in
the first inning, the lirst four men up
driving out clean singles. White was
caught napping, and but one run was
counted.
In t^e second inning, Spann wae
passed to lirst, Boyle was safe on a
Holder's choice; both runners were
then advanced a peg on the error of
Weir. Weeks and White went out in
order, hut on Drev's second single, the
two runners counted. With a three
run lead, the Sumtor boys let up, and
seemed to think that it was not nec?
essary to work. They had a rude
awakening a little later.
AndrewB secured the first hit for
the visitors In the fifth inning. He
was pushed up to second when Turner
went out, Drevenstedt to Boyle.
Weeks tried to catch the runner oft
second, but Haynsworth did not see
the throw, and when White tried to
naP the runner at third, his throw
went through Drev's legs, and the first
lluke run was made.
It was in the seventh that things
looked shaky. Odom led off with a
single over third. Kelly. H . who wn*
pitching for the vlfttpra, received one
of .Weeks' swift ones Uj the head, aui:
xvas put out of the game Andrew?
single filled the packe, and whan
idaoiy made a bau peg to cuich him
off first, Odom counted, and when
Boyle threw wild to Mabry to catch
Weir, who was running for Kelly, at
the plate, Weeks, who was backing up
the catcher, made a great stab of the
wild heave, and retired Weir for the
second out. Just previous to that
Boyle made a sensational catch of
Turner's near-Texas leaguer for the
first out. With two strikes on Haw?
kins, Andrews pulled a great play
In stealing home from third. He beat
the throw a block and tied the score.
Weir replaced Kelly on the mound
for the visitors. In the eighth, a pass,
a batter hit by pitched ball, one hit
and four errors put the Gamecock,
three runs in the lead. A hit, a
stolon base and an error resulted in
one and the final score for Columbia,
and the game ended in a victory for
Sumter by a margin of two runs.

gins today its tirst tourney, a feature
Which is expected to be an annual
tVCnt in future years, if plans of the
association work out successfully.
The matches have not been arrang?
ed according to the usual custom, by

teams from St. Charles which recent?
ly defeated a Sumter team, being ex?
pected here on Wednesday. All play?
ers are urged to play their matches,
reporting results at the close to the
secretary, L. C. Bryan, who will give
further information as to playing. The
winner in the first match plays the
winner in the second, the winner in
the third plays the winner in the
fourth, etc., down the line. In the
same way the loser in the lirst match
will play the. loser in the second, etc.
in the consolations, until the winner
in the consolations plays the runner
up ttl the tourney. If the singles
matches can be completed in time
arrangements will be made for a
doubles tournament.

SATAN ET SCALES C1T1 HALE.
From the Daily Item, August 13.
Hundreds of persons in the street
below watched enthralled, as Satanet
slowly made his way up the side >of
the city hall building until he had
reached the topmost pinnacle of the
steeple. Hundreds cheered lustily as
he succeeded in making each difficult
phase of the ascent and as he comw
pleted and stood on the top of the
tower and waved his hands to those
below, shouting his oft-heard "Satan
Satanet arrived in the city early in
the morning and during the day he
and his manager went over the town
in their car, announcing the fact that
he would make the ascent of the city
hall building at 7 o'clock. Conse?
quently there was a crowd which
blocked traffic for the entire block
when the time came for him to per?
form his thrilling stunt. The Virginia
Dare-Devil, as he is known, is adver?
tising a soft drink known as Satanet.
and incidentally he is being paid
something to advertise this drink inr
a rather unusual way.
The ascent to the first story
was made with apparent ease up the
corner of the hall building, the ridges
on the blocks furnishing foothold and
grip for his initial climb. After reach?
ing the second story he became more
careful and his ascent was slower and
thrilling also, as he would reach up
to find a convenient ridge or crevice
to grasp to hoist his body a little bit
higher. The windows in the building
Were maio Dec of :?nd gf rd?r?
Satanet stopped to break a gins* *o as
to get a foothold, but bis feat ring
thrilling and perilous none thin lesgt?
and there were many who stood he
low and watched in amazement, or
turned away at particular perilous'
steps, fearful of a misstep. At fre?
quent intervals Satanet called out the
*
name of his drink, and stopped to
answer to the shouts from the crowd*/
below. Arrived on the tower, he
slipped back down to the ridge pole
and waited until the door to the
tower could be unlocked, so that he
descended the stairway, and not as
he had gone up.
