The ladies of the Bethel School [ Home Demonstration Club, at the monthly meeting held Wednesday, as sured Miss Alice Martin, the home demonstration agent, and Secretary Reardon that those attending yester- j day's meeting would do their best to j interest the other ladies of that school j district in competing for one of the j community booth prizes during the 1919 Sumter County Fair. Mrs. William Haynsworth, Mrs. R. B. Furman, Mrs. J. M. Kolb, and Miss Ruth Cain were requested to serve on j the committee to interview the other ladies of the district about co-operat ing toward making this fall's fair a great success, and interviewing the giris' canning and tomato club mem bers about making individual and club booth exhibits. Yesterday's meeting of the home demonstration club was interfered with so far as attendance was con cerned by a heavy rain which came up just before the time of the meet ing, but there was evidence of more than ordinary local and county pride and interest in the 1919 county fair and home demonstration work among the ladies. Several gentlemen attended yester day's meeting and were very much in terested as were all of the ladies by Miss Martin's demonstration of how to cook a whole dinner of meats and vegetables in twenty minutes with a steam pressure cooker. Miss Martin prepared the dinner and cooked and served the meal giving- everyone pres ent an abundance of delicious roast beef, beans, potatoes, bread and toma toes which was much enjoyed. The interest in the county fair manifested by the ladies and gentlemen was very i gratifying to Miss Martin and the Sec retary of the-Chamber of Commerce who are talking county fair at home demonstration and canning club meet I ings all over the county.

Sumter won ?'from Charleston Monday in a game which lasted thirteen innings, Both I pitchers had a knack of twisting them j so that strikeouts were the most nu r merous marks indicated on the score {card, while basehits were seldom un ! earthed. Several times during the thirteen-iniing combat did the pitch ers pull themselves out of dangerous holes. Both teams went on the field with the determination to win. The in fields without exception played like clockwork and every member of the team starred in his respective posi tion. The game was interesting from start to finish and may be cailed the best seen here this season, j Albers, Charleston's center-fielder. I made the prettiest catch, of a long Irive. seen at the park in some time. The work of Heinz of Charleston and Chandler of Sumter was noticeable in the field. Charleston was the first to score j i when in the fourth inning Heinz was ( walked, .stole second, went to third i on Black's infield out, and crossed j the plate on O'Shaughnessy's long double to left field. However, the prowess of Sumter was not to be de nied, for in the latter half of the fame inning, they also scored one and j succeeded in adding two more in the i fifth. Charleston made one run in the eighth and another in the ninth. Sum ter failed to score in the ninth and the game went twelve innings without either side making the necessary score. But in the thirteenth Char leston scored one run by hits. In the latter half of the thirteenth Crawford doubled to right field and scored on Campbell's double to cen ter. Mannush broke up the game by a double to left field, scoring Camp bell. The'^ame today promises to be an j excellent one. The lineups will have only slight changes. There were only 494 paid admis sions to yesterday's game. The man ager states that the attendance today =hould be doubled. Only a very few ladies were in the grandstand. A spe cial price for women and children is being made. In order for Sumter to have the best class of amateur ball, it .is abso lutely necessary to have the support of the fans. Come out and help your .'earn this afternoon. Score by innings: R. H. E ! Charleston uOO 100 Oil 000- 1 4 6 ?. Sumter . .000 120 000 000 2 5 11 S Batteries: Charleston ?

Sumter Ran Away With Charles ton in Second Game . j i Charleston used three pitchers in an j effort to stem the batting tide of Sum ter Tuesday in a game won by the Gamecocks 13 to 1. Two of ihess pitchers were Knocked out of the box and only the ninth inning could have i saved the third. Chand'.er F., pitched good ball for i Sumter, keeping the visitors' hits weli i scattered. The feature of the game ! .vas the heavy hining of the entire j ??umter team. Martin made a sensa- i tional catch of the last batted ball of j the game in center field. Heinz, the | first man up. smashed Chandler's of fering over lefcfield fence for three i bases and scored on a passed ball, j This ended Charleston's scoring for j the day. Sumter made one in the i ?.irst inning and continued to make j ?hem throughout the game. Charleston's infield failed to back their pitchers as they did on Monday. None except O'Shaughnessy seemed to make an effort, but this kid pla^d star ball as usual. "Horse"' Mabry caught for Sumter. allowing "Buck" Burns to rest in right field. Ryan Chandler. Campbeil and Manush played and batted well. Al though Sumter hit heavy yesterday, i Charleston aided in the scoring by i frequent errors. This afternoon the Charleston "Bull Dogs" will make their final effort to j defeat the strong Sumter team, j O'Shaughnessy will be in the box forj Charleston with Kennerty on the re- \ ceiving line. Nunnamaker will be on j the mound for Sumter with "Horse" j Mabry most likely behind the bat. Tomorrow; rFiday and Saturday, j Sumter tacklc-s the fastest team or! season when they play McColl. Ale:: Gibson, the Citadel star, allowed the i Orangeburg team only two hits and | permitted Chesterfield's fast collegians one scratch hit in a nine-inning gam". He will most probably work for Mc Coll on Thursday. Score by innings: Cha rleston.inooooooo i Sumter .120 030 160 13 Scorer: Winn: Umpire. Butts. BOY SCOUTS Mr. Wendell Levi Chosen as New Scout Master at Meet ing Yesterday At 4 p. m. Tuesday a meeting of all Boy Scouts was held at the Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of reorganiza tion. Heretofore there have been two troops, but it is planned to consoli date these into one strong troop. As one of the farmer scout masters has been called out of the city, aa-i the ether is unable i<> perform the du ties. Mr. Wendell T.evi has been chos en as the new Seoul Master and ex pects to have an efficient organization. All young boys are urged to join the Scouts as quickly as possible. Anoth er meeting will be held in the near future for the purpose of receiving new members and the election of of ficers. WINS THREE STRAIGHT GAMES Sumter Concluded Series With Charleston With a Shut Out?8 to 0. i Sumter made it three straight from Charleston here yesterday in a slow ? game, played on a v.et diamond. The ; game was called at ihe end of the sev enth inning on account of darkness. The score was.S to 0, Charleston be [ ing unable to get more than two men j as far as third base. The pegging of Burns and the tagging of Mannush [ was responsible for Charleston's run I ners getting no farther than second. I Rain in the second inning caused a I delay of thirty minutes. After play j was resumed the diamond was wet and slow. i The lone feature of the game was j the superb twirling of Nunnamaker. This local lad demonstrated his know ! ledge of the art by retiring nearly half ! of the Charleston batters on strikes, j O'Shaughnessy, who was Chafcles i ton's choice for the mound, had a I spit ball which invariably became a. [ slow out drop as \t approached the I home plate. This seemed puzzle j the local lads for the first inning, j but this soon ended. Charleston would pmost likely have played a better game! I had Belcher been substituted for j O'Shaughnessy on the mound. Black was the best swatter for the boys from the City by the Sea. He was the first of his bunch to secure a hit off Nunnamaker. whan, in the first inning, he shot a line drive to center for two bases. Later he man aged to send the lone one of the game over the left field fence for three bases. Sumt^r's heavy hitting, coupl ed with Charleston's frequent errors, totalled up eight runs, four of which came in one inning. Today's game will be the real test of the strength possessed by the Sum ter players, when they tackle the fast, aggressive and heavy hitting team from McColl. This is without a doubt "he best team that has yet seen fit to invade the local park. This team will be led this afternoon by Alex Gibson, a former Citadel pitcher, in an effort to" stop the crowing of the Game Cock. In the last two games pitched. Gib son allowed two hits to Orangeburg's fast team and onlv one scratch hit to he Chesterfield collegians. This "cot ton top" lad will most probably work tor McColi this afternoon. Whether >r not he will be able to stem the tide of Sumter victories will be seen at the local park this afternoon at 6 p m. sharp. Duberry. said to be the best ama teur pitcher in North Carolina, will work for Sumter today. Henry Spa nr. is expected in time for the game and will be seen in left field with "Rube'' Skinner in right field. The Sumter manager realizes thai he game will be hard fought and has prepared for it. The attendance iicday should reach the thousand mark. Fans are urged to be on hand at 6 p. m.
