joe wells shoots j
fritz behre
Probably Fatal Alfray Between
Two White Men
On Saturday night, about eleven
>'clock Joe Wells, white, shot and se
riously wounded Fritz Behre, white.
The shooting occurred on Harvin St.,
near the Pickwick Hotel. At the
time of the shooting Behre was with a
young lady and was spoken to by
Wells. A few words passed and Wells
handed Behre a paper, and while j
Behre was reading it Weils shot j
Behre once in the stomach. When he
(Behre) ran, he was then shot in the j
back. He was immediately rushed to I
the hospital.
Conflicting reports are afloat con-1
ceming the cause of the shooting.
Behre was out on bail for the kill
ing of T. J. Weils, a brother of Joe
Weeks, some time ago.
Deputy Sheriff McKagen arrested
Wells immediately after the shooting.
This morning Joe Wells was out on
bail and was charged with assault and
battery with intent to kill.
Behre is in a very critical condi
tion at the hospital and it is very
doubtful if he can recover.

Nearly Two Hundred Students at;
Georgia Tech
There is such a thing as a man being
"kicked upstairs"?achieving an edu- j
cation and a better job than he ever!
csuld have had otherwise by the sim- j
pie process of getting into the great
war for Uncle Sam and being wound- >
ed or disabled by illness, and receiv- j
ing special education from the gov-1
ernmeiu.
It is a sad fact that the percentage!
of illiteracy among soldiers enlisted j
from the Southern States was the
highest of any section of the country,
but it is also a fact that, aided by the 1
Home Service^ Department of the Red j
Cross, great numbers of these boys,
disabled in the military service, now 1
are being educated free by the gov-'
ernment, and are being fitted for use
ful work of a higher character than i
they ever -would have attained if left j
to their own devices
At the Georgia School of Technol-j
ogy in Atlanta, there are upwards of j
200 of Uncle Sam's students?there;
will be fully that many by August 1.
They are taking specialized courses.
All over the Division boys are getting
elementary educations?learning to
read and write, many of them.
Any Red Cross office can supply the
information needed to apply for free
[education for disabled men discharg
ed from the service. And a dozen
Red cross field representatives are
traveling over the division ;i'l the
time?when one of theni is in your
town you have only to see him and
get all the information at first hand,
and not from a pamphlet.
MBS. CORNELIA WHITE GIVES
PARTY
Miss Cornelia White gave a delight
ful "Watermelon Party" Thursday
evening at her home about six miles
from town on the Manning road.
About forty of the "younger set"
went out in cars at eight o'clock
and after playing games were invited
out on the lawn where an unlimited
number of beautiful melons were cut
and served.
I A GREAT GAME
i In a game ful] of thrills and ex
I citement, Sumter defeated McColi 2
I to 1 here Thursday. There was not a
dull moment during the entire game.
I The crowd la-came so excited that
j they refused to stay in tlfe" grand
stand. The game yesterday showed
: the real strength of ? the Sumter
team.
\ MeColl's defeat may be summed up
in one peculiar little word?Mannush.
This boy played a game different from
J any seen on the local lot this season,
j He was the individual star of the
[game, hitting the ball frequently and
! running wild on the bases. He was
j the man of the moment, being direct
| ly responsible for two of Sumter's
j runs. On one occasion he stole home
while Hems wound up preparatory to
delivering a speedy ball. 'Twas well
he stole home, for on the next ball
Nunnamaker struck out and ended the
inning. Xot only did The boy from
Wilmington play great at the bat and
en the bases, but he did equally as
well in his position on second base.
Both pitchers worked like veterans,
causing the honors to be about equal-'
ly divided, with Du Berry having a
very slight advantage. Heins yielded
seven hits to Sumter's swatters, while
DuBerry only gave McCoil's batters
five. Both had all sorts of curves,
steam and control.
It looked like a McColi victory at
first when a hot ball to right tield
caused them to score first in the j
! third inning. Sumter was unable to
secure a tally until the sixth.
Had it not been for Sumter's good j
work in the infield the visitors would
have won and but for the superb
work exhibited by the infield from !
McColi, the score would have been j
worse.
The outfields absolutely refused to
make an error. A drive to the field,i|
almost without exception, meant a |
sure out.
The longest drive of the game was;
Martin's to center for uro bases.
It must be said that the better
team was at the big end of the score, i

I
In a well played game, Sumter again !
defeated MeColl's fast baseball club by
the score of 4 to 0 here Friday, i
McColi had their best bet in the box j
in the form of Alex Gibson, and took I
the field with a world of confidence]
that the series would be evened up.
Sumter realized that they would have !
to exert themselves, so they went j
after Gibson in the first inning. Ryan i
Chandler, first man up fop the home i
hopes grounded out, Crawford hit a
long one for three bases. Campbell I
grounded to second and Crawford wasj
thrown out at the plate. Campbell was!
safe at first. Mannush cracked a long;
double to ceniei*. With two men on_
bases and two outs ?"Buck" Burns,
hero of the game caught one of!
Gibson's sx^eedy balis and landed it
over center field fence for a home
run, sewing up the game and causing j
Gibson's record to be broken. Sumter j
succeeded in getting more hits off of;
Gibson in one inning than two prom- ;
inent neighboring teams got in their
entire games.
However, after one bad inning Gib-:
son succeeded in his efforts at the i
'"come back" and entered into a pitch- j
er's battle with DeBerry. DeBerry j
won from McColi on Thursday by 4 j
to 1. Yesterday he succeeded in elim- \
ination MeColl's only score, which was j
made on an error. While Gibson pitch- j
ed great ball after the first inning it!
must be admitted that DeBerry had j
the McColi team eating out of his
hand. This boy has the stuff and will
make good in the leagues should he
choose that profession.
Sumter's infield played up to form
which is enough said.?Crawford, \
.Mannush, Ryan, Chandler and Camp-;
bell compose an infield that has no |
equal in either Carolina. If a ball can j
be fielded they can do it regardless"'
of rime cr place.
"Buck" Burns makes all catchers;
that have ever visited Sumter asham- !
ed of..themselves in comparison. This
boy was the hero of yesterday's game .
and well does he deserve the credit.
McColi has a good, fast and clean j
baseball team. They are good losers:
and thoroughbred gentleman, when j
they depart from Sumter the local fans;
will pull for them against all comers, j
The manager appreciates the sup- i
port given him by the fans and says
he will endeavor to give them high j
class baseball for the remainder of i
the season.
Wilmington will probably invade:
Sumter's diamond again next week,:
thus insuring fast, clean games.
