Siimtci* High School <)|X'iis Season
With a Victory in a Well Played
Gahma
The Sumter high school opened its
ltl| beeebell season in an auspicious
manner yesterday when they defeat?
ed Manning in a well played game,
score G to 1. The game was nip and
tuck until the sixth inning, when the
locals forged ahead. Manning's lone
run was due to an error while Sumter
earned four of her runs by clean, hit?
ting.
The game rocked along for three
innings with no scoring, hut the young
Gamecocks scored two in the fourth
on Dennleton'g drive to left Held.
Again in tho sixth they scored four
runs on three successive hits and an
error, Denniston opening the Inning
with a clean hit to the right field
fence for three bases, He scored
when the visitors' second baseman
booted Cothran's grounder. Blend?
ing beat out a bunt and he and Ooth
ran scored on Crawford's two-bagger
to right. Crawford scored on Dick's
infield hit. Manning scored her lone
run in the fourth inning on an er?
ror in hacking up a relay throw.
The game was featured by the con?
sistent pitching of both twirlers,
Dlanding for the home team and
Timmons for the Manningitea. Dland?
ing showed rare form, striking out
seven and not walking a man. Only
two hits were gathered from his de?
livery. Denniston in centre field with
two hits out of three times up and
with two splendid catches was also in
the llmellgrrt Crawford at third hose
garnered everything that came hie
way. He also slammed the ball hard.
Only a small crowd witnessed the
game. The management of the high
school team plans to give the people
of Sumter some good baseball if they
will only support the team. The lo?
cals demonstrated yesterday that they
have a well balanced organization
which would make any high school
team go the limit to win. Included
in the Gamecock schedule as planned
for home games are Carlisle Fitting
school, last year's prep school cham?
pions, Columbia high, last year's high
school champions and Florence,
champions of the Pee Dee. Unless the
gate receipts show a decided increase.
#
n will he impossible to bring these
strong teams here. It Is to he hoped
that the next game will be better at?
tended.
The score by innings of yesterday's
game, which was seven innings by
agreement, follows:
