RED SOX LOSE 10 PHILLIES. MORAN V11 TO It Y IN FIRST OF BICl SERIFS WON BY LI C K. Ale? Against SImhi* in 3 to 1 t.umo? Young North ( arollniau Loses Noth? ing in Con?|w*rtxm, P?or Play Dc ('?Um Itesull Philadelphia. I ><. t. 8.?Orover Clove land Alexander won his gamo from the Boston Red Sox today hut the victory was far from being the im? pressive one tt\e Phlladelplha National players had predicted. The breaks of the game were with tho atar pitcher of the National league and had to be to give him the honor of winning the first world's series contest In which he has participated. Through a sequence of plays as un? usual as ever seen on a ball field the Phillies won. 3 to 1. They made these three runs on b\e of the fluklest hits the game has ever known, a Texas league which develop? ed Into the first run of the series be? ing the only ball driven out of the diamond by a Philadelphia batsman. It has be??n predicted the short out field would prove the winning factor for the Phillies in their own little park on Broad street, but contrary to all expectations it was the iniield. wet and heavy from 15 hours of rain, that turned the tide In their favor. It waa a mediocre ball game, the first of the bis; league series, for do splte the few errors of commission there were several of omission, and two or three plays which will go down baseball history as tingled with an Ivory hue. Strangely enough it ems the Red Sox, veterans in battling for the hlgheet honors of the game, who were guilty of the slips, although the offending individuals were new members of the team. Dig "Hobby" Hoblitzel. first base guardian for the Sox. ignominously nded a first Inning attack by his teammates when he cajmly lapped Into slumberland off his home station and was caught almost tlatfooted by a quick toss from Alexander to Lude rua for the third out. Hooper was on third base at the time and Lewis was at bat. When he was given his delayed chance in the second Inning Lewis shot a stinging single between short and third. This play hurt tho chances of the Bpx materially, but it wai in the eighth Inning tho game was tossed away beyond all hope of recall when young Scott, at short for the visitors, stood transfixed as he watched Barry make a wonderful stop of a drive from Bancroft and was bo completely overcome by the seemingly miraculous play that he forgot all about covering second base, allowing Stock, who had walked, to pull up safely at that sta? tion and giving Bancroft one of the five strange hits scored off Ernest Shore. The young twirler?"Long" Shore they call him In iloston?pitch? ed a splendid game, but all the luck waa against him. ' The "breaks" which went the way of the Phillies seemed to upeet him at times and his fielding waa shaky. But Shore had a fast ball with a hop on it that was on a par with the best Alexander had to offer. Against the five freak hltH which he allowed, Alexander was hit safely eight times, each of the blows being a line drive to the outfield. There was not an extra base In any of them, however, and no two came in the same inning. Three times during the gamo the first Red Sox batter to face Big "Alex ' tore off a screaming single, only to remain stranded somewhere between first and third. Aloxandor felt tho strain that the confidence of the National league ad? herents had placed on him and during the first three InnlnK* of Un? garns plainly was nervouH. In two oi theae Innings serious trouble threat? ened him. Shore gave the Phillies' star a nght from the time play was called until the last man was out. Four or fUe times tho i^im. bung In the balance. With the score a tie in the flrnt half of |hi tight! am) with Lewis on second. Gardner of the Ited Sox smashed into one of Alexander's fast breaking outcurves for a drive which seemed far out of reach of the Philadelphia outfit?! I But Paskert started after it n . n centre held and made ,, Hpeeiur-ular catch while running at full speed. The play brought the ?dg crowd to Its feet and undoubtedly saved the game f..r the Nationale, Thll play and the wonderful stop by Harry hark of second h;ise th r hypnotized \"iin^ Pcott were the fielding features ot th?- game. That the ram.- was regarded largely es a freak episode In world series baseball Is shown by the foci that the supporters of the defeated Bed Sox have lengthened the betting odds they are willing to kIvc for the remainder of the series. For three Innlnus todav the honors of the game were all with the t ill young Iloston twirler who had been sent In t oppose Alexander. In the Ian* half of the fourth. howc\er, It was Shore himself who gave the Phil? lies an opportunity lo .euro their first ran This run was typical of the PROMINENT VISITORS HERE. DU, KXAIM?, lECIUCTABY liovs TON AN1> DR, DONG IN min, OHM Over Fi-om Hartsvillo in Auto? mol ule and Moot a Number of Thu lVople of Sumter?Tyke Hide About City and Country. Sumter today was honored by a visit of several very prominent visitors, who spent a while in the city and met a number of the people of Sumter to discuss conditions in this section with them. The visitors were Secretary of Agriculture of the United States, Da \ld F. Houston; Dr. Bradford Knapp, a son of Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, and head of the farm extension work in the South, and Dr. W. W. Dong, head of the farm extension work in this State. The visitors arrived here at about 1 o'clock, having come from Harts ville by automobile this morning with a stop at Col. R. M. Cooper's place at Wisacky on the way. After a brief visit to the hotel the gentlemen came on up to the National Bank of Sum? ter, where there were quite a* large number of people waiting to see them. They met Dr. Houston and the other gentlemen with him and a general conversation ensued i-bout condi'ions In this section of the South. Dr. Hous? ton was very m?'^h impressed with the growth of Har?-> ille as a market for long staple cotton and spoke at length on this subject. Messrs. R. L. Edmunds and D. M. Blanding, two former college mates of Secretary Houston, were remembered by Secretary Houston, who asked for them, neither being present at the time he reached the bank. Mr. Bland? ing was called over to meet Secretary Houston, but Mr. Edmunds could not come at the time. After a pleasant discussion of sever? al minutes, the gentlemen returned to the hotel to dinner. This afternoon they will go on a ride about the city and surrounding country. three that went the way of the locals. Paskert dropped a Texas leaguer back of first base just out of reach of Hoblltzel. Cravath was sent up to sacrifice and sent a fast bunt di? rectly at Shore. The latter picked up the ball cleanly and had plenty of time to throw Paskert out at sec? ond. Much to the surprise of his teammates, however, he shot the ball to first, where Cravath wac an easy out. Duderus went out from Barry to Hoblitzel as Paskert raced to third. Then Whitted barely met a fast one from Shore and the ball went weakly bolmding into the intleld just over the pitcher's head. Barry made a great try for an out but Whitted reached first half a step ahead of the throw and Paskert was safely across with a run which seemed for several Innings to be the only one that either team could put across. Speaker, however, was given a base on balls In Boston's half of the eighth after Scott was out and went to sec? ond on Hoblitzel's Infield out. Dew is who had fanned on his two previous trips to the plate, singled to left and Speaker scored, "Duffy" taking sec? ond on the throw in. It was hen that Paskert saved tho game with his startling catch of Gardner's drive. Paskert has suffered much in all pre? liminary comparisons with Speaker, whom he opposes in centre Held, but that one catch today gave him a warm place in the hearts of Phila? delphia fans. The way Shore and Alexander were working at this time indicated tho game might go into many extra in? nings, '>ut in the Phillies' half of the eighth came the decision. Alexander had proved an easy out. Shore got a bit caxeless and passed Stock. Ban? croft then shot the hit over second which gave Barry the opportunity to make a miracle with his bare right hand. Barry, recovering his balance, started to toss the ball to second to force Stock, but the bag was l>nre. Too late Scott realized the duty and started on a run for the keystone. In a forlorn hope Barry shot the ball to him. but Stock was safe and thero were two ot) instead of two out. At this critical juncture Shore be? came unsteady ami passed Paskert. The bases were full ami '(Javvy" Cra? vath. the home run champion of the National league, with a particular fondness for the Short fences of the Phillies' park was at the bat. The crowd was shouting itself hoarse for "Oavvy" to "hit it out of the lot." Shore proved that he w is willing tO take a chance, however, by breaking the first ball over the plate for a strike. The beat Cravath even tUally could dO was to send a slow Im.under to Scott ;it short. It seemed to many in the stand thai Scott had time fof the play at the plate, but he shut the ball to inst Instead ami Stock raced over with the winning run. Then l.uderus hit a weak (rounder towards Shore. The ball took a bad roll In the mud just as Shore was reaching for It and Bancroft came over for the third ami last run of the game.

DEFEATS 1IARTSYILLF BY BCORE OF 1? TO 0 EASILY. One Sided Contest Showed Superiority in Playing Ability of Locals over Visitors:?Lighter Team Showed Grit Throughout?Spann Was star of Came. ? , i /. In a one-sidod contest on the Cal houn School ground on yesterday af? ternoon the Sumter high football team won an easy victory from the visitors from Hartsville, the score of 46 to 0 indicating in a measure the superiority of the locals. In fact so easy was the game for the locals that some of the players seemed to "loaf on the job," as the saying is, and did not exert their utmost skill and strength after the first quarter. Henry Spann was the individual star of the game, running his team well at most times and playing the game for all that it was worth from start to finish. He did some splendid open field running and was about the only one of the Sumter men to furnish first class interference with the run? ner. Whit Shaw did some good de? fensive work in the first quarter when j Hartsville had the ball, but after that it was so seldom that the visitors had the ball that he did not have another chance. Douglas, a new man, showed Up well and gives promise of making a fine player with more experience. For Hartsville James at half and Erwin at quarter played a fine defen? sive game. MoFall was also good and the whole team played a gritty game against the Sumter boys, who showed more experience and were several pounds heavier per man than the vis? itors. The men on both teams seemed ner? vous at first and seemed unable to hold the ball during the first quarter. Put this passed off and the men set? tled down to hard play. Sumter kick? ed to Hartsville at the north goal. Hartsville failed to gain and Sumter carried the ball over in two downs. DesChamps touchdown. Flowers kicked goal. Score 7-0. Hartsville kicked to Sumter. There was a dou? ble exchange of the ball by fumbles and Sumter fumbled again and Harts? ville kicked. First quarter over. In the second quarter Sumter car? ried the ball fifty yards in four downs, Flowers making the touchdown. Flow? ers kicked goal, score, Sumter 14, Hartsville 0. Sumter received and a beautiful forward pass, Spann to Flowers, took the ball thirty yards and Douglas carried it over in a tack? le over tackle play. Flowers kicked goal. Score, Sumter 21, Hartsville 0. Sumter was penalized for substitute failing to report and the half was over. Hartsville failed to gain and the Sumter players took the ball down the field to striking distance of the goal, when Allen carried it over. No goal. Score Sumter 27, Hartsville 0. Sumter received the kick-off, but Des? Champs fumbled on the next play and it .vas Hartsville's ball. Hartsville 'ticked and the Quarter ended. In the last quarter a forward pass failed, but the second was successful and a good gain was made. With a trick play Spann made a touchdown. Flowers kicked goal. Score Sumter ?>4, Hartsville 0. By a series of end runs and line plunges the ball was taken down the field on the next kick-off and Flowers carried over for another touchdown, failing to kick goal. ?Score Sumter 40, Hartsville 0. A second time Sumter received the kick and carried the ball during the quarter down the field and Spann took it across the line. No goal. Score 4G-0. The score does not indicate the rela? tive ability of the two teams for Sum? ter should have made it larger, if the men had been playing as hard as they could. The visitors only twice made distance, both times in the first quarter. Sumter never failed to make distance in two or three downs. Twice Spann called the signals for forward pass, but there was some mistake and he was compelled to run with the ball, making distance both times. The players were: Hartsville.

Through tho active cooperation of the City Council, the City Board of Education, the Civic League, the Chamber of Commerce all arrange? ments have been perfected whereby the city of Sumter will receive from the Carnegie Foundation the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars for the erec? tion of a library building. The ladies of the Civic League have been very much interested in a public library and through their efforts a general interest has been stimulated. They have now the nucleus of a library, which, of course, is only a nucleus, and they will call upon i.he citizens generally to assist them in get? ting together suitable books which will constitute a respectable begin ning, when the building is ready for occupancy. The Chamber of Commerce a year ago asked its educational committee to take such steps as might be wise for procuring this library. The City Board of Education has donated the site and the City Council has guaranteed the maintenance of the library. I No one questions the great value of ja public library and Sumter is to be congratulated. The outstanding fea? ture, however, is the unmistakable manifestation of a spirit of the most cordial cooperation among Sumter'a civic organizations. S. H. Edmunds, Chairman Committee on Education, !

Xo indication was given as to when they would be sentenced or what the sentence would be, although when James Manos was found guilty on the same charge ear? lier in the week, Judge Mendel D.
