INDIANS WIN. Rod Skins too Much lor the Dale !toue??Unmc Cooks/ Hitting Light MIMl the Indians' Fielding Cat Oft Several Safeties?Yistors Held Tight Until Final Hound?Soorc ."> to 1. There, was a large hunch of fane >ad yesterday to see the ftnul game of the season in Which the Gamecocks Were to go up against the fast In? dian team from Nebraska. The Red suins team was composed of husky follows, long experienced in baseball, and with a string of victories this season long enough to envelope the Russian forces now on a hike to Petrograd. That the homo boys held them to two runs up to the tinal In? ning is some evidence of the class of ball that they were playing, and they made tho native Americans play at top speed from the time the first ball Aas pitched until Tapper fanned for the final out. "Sheep" O'Neal was doing the toss? ing for Sumter, and "Old Horse" Jla bry was telling him how to shoot them over the corners of the rubber, not. however, until he had taken a squint at each batter as he came up, for according to "Horse", all Indians looked alike to him. There is one thing certain, neither Indians nor Po? lar bears can get a Sheep's goat, so when the big boya from Bryan's grape juice State came up to take a crack at the pill, "Sheep" jui! a little home made juice on the ball, and let 'er slide. Nine safeties was all that they could count, and at that two of them should havo been ilelded, and, even if the game did go the wrong way, the fault cannot be laid at the door of Sumter's two-piece menagerie. Those Indian boys were some foxy fellows, and that they scored before the ninth inning was due to the fact that they were some artists in block? ing the throw from second to com? plete a double play. Twice In one inning they pulled that stunt, and and twice more during the game they repeated it. just to show the lo? cals that they had not forgotten the trick. It was done cleverly, and there was no chance for His I'mps to see any crimnal Intent. Sweet Grass, who did the receiving for the Indians, was the hitting star of the game. Out of four trips up. he pasted two triples over left held fence, and got a single for good meas? ure; but he never scored. When he hit, there was no other cue for a ?'. nop neecssary. ifh< Indians coufdl not bring him ocrosa the pan, al IhoMgH bis tlnnl elol counted or.in ahead o? him in the final Inning I r. ? locals could do v Ihmg with, Cleghorn's delivery. The ilrst three men up fanned, and during the entire game two doubles by Spann and O'Neal and two singles by Drevenstedt and Mabry was all that was doing in the hitting line. However the visit? ors did some sensational fielding, and on three occasions when the scorer was ready to register a hit, an Indian cut it off. It was a great game, and a fitting one to close a good season with. The score: B. II. E. Indians.000 010 013?5 9 2 Sumter.000 000 001?1 4 1 Batteries. Clegborn and Sweet Grass; O'Ncale and Mabry.

TO rix COTTON RATE Secretary Roordoii Starts Campaign t<> Reduce Prelglil Charges. The Bumter Chamber of Commerce ha.s started a tight to adjust the rate on cotton from Hagood, and other points on the .Southern Railway, in Bumter County, to Bumter. The Bum ter business men think that the rate from Hagood to Bumter, for instance, as compared With the rate from Ha? good to Camden, is entirely out of proportion, considering geographical conditions and distances to Bumter and Camden from Hagood. From Hagood to Sumter the rate on cotton is 17 cents per hundred pounda From Hagood to Camden j it is 10 cents. The Southern Rail? way mileage from Hagood to Sumter, transporting freight from Hagood in a round about way to Sumter June- j tion and thence to Sumter, is about 32 miles. The mileage via Southern Railway to Camden, from Hagood is 13 miles. Hembert, Sumter county, on the North wertern Railway, only three nubs from Hagood, in competitive territory with the Southern Railway, has cotton hauled to Sumter and Camden for 10 cents per hundred pounds to each point. While it is true that the Southern Railway does not enter Rembert, as a competitive line, and the fact that the Southern Railway has to transport cotton or other freight In a round about way to Sumter, which increases the mileage to practically exactly double the distance from Ha? good to Camden, nevertheless the Sumter commercial organization feels that the sate on cotton to Sumter from Sumter County points on the Southern Railway should be based on mileage compared with its competing line, the North Western Railway Co. While there might be some grounds for a slight advantage to Camden over Sumter by virtue of railway mileage distance by Southern Rail? way round about mileage, yet the Sumter Chamber of Commerce does not think that the difference of more than <J0 per cent, in cotton rates is proportionate at all. In the mileage of the freight traf? fic rules under the "S0-S6" mile haul Sumter might possibly be barred from competitive rates with Camden, but there is a grave question as to the rigid application of this rule which the Sumter Chamber of Commerce ques- j tbtna pr>* Y>~~ ,.\ed for 0 I tUllg 1 from th" .South Caroling Railway!

With the approach of the open sca Bon for sho?.tm- wild fowl the depart menl is warning sportsmen that the federal regulations as amended Oc? tober 1, 1914, will be strictly enforc? ed. Some misunderstanding has aris? en from the fact that the various State laws do not always conform to the f?deral regulations. This Is re? garded as unfortunate, but in such cases the department must insist up? on the observance of the federal reg? ulations. The department will consider any recommendations submitted in good faith for amendment of the regula? tions, but will hold no public hearings thereon, nor will it amend the regu? lations prior to October 15, 1915. It is the purpose to conform the regu? lations to the wishes of the majority I of sportsmen so far as it can be done and at the same time give wild fowl the necessary protection. Federal regulations divide the Unit? ed States into two zones. Zone No. 1, the breeding zone, includes tho States of Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Ne? braska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana. Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey and all States north of them. Zone No. 2, the wintering /.one, includes all States south of those named. The regulations prescribe seasons as follows: Open Seasons for Migratory Birds in 1915 Uades* Federal Regulation*. Waterfowl for South Carolina, No? vember 20-February 16.
