A HIT AND RUN BASEBALL GAME In a game of ball that did not come up to the standard previously set "by the teams, Sumter defeated Wilming ton here Monday afternoon 10 to 7. The game was not in the elas of bail that was to be expected by those pres ent. Errors were the feature of the game. No player showed marked ability in any particular role. It looked as if Wilmington would be the winner when in the first inning Burnette hit the longest ball of the game over left field fence, with Jo seph on base. But the prowess of the i Game Cock was not to be denied, for j in this same inning Sumter had two ! men thrown out at the plate and then made three runs. Gordon, who worked the first two innings for Wil I mington, proved unequal to the task ! allotted him by permitting seven scores while he remained on the mound. Sheppard, who relieved Gordon in the third, is well known here, having pitched against Sumter four years ago. He allowed three runs during the remainder of the game. DeBer ry was not at his best, although he was not pounded as much as the score . would- indicate. He made up for his poor twirling by securing a home run with Brown on the base. In the Sixth inning Mannish began playing golf by putting the ball in la hole in center filed which puzzled the fielder and permitted the runner to reach third base from which he scored the last run of the uninterest ing game. Sumter did excellent work in the sixth inning when the Wilmington I crowd was retire^ in two minutes and j seven seconds. This was by far tin. fastest inning of the game anji was j caused by a pretty double. Both j teams were weakened instead of j strengthened for the fray. Today j now players arrived for both teams. ! Rufus Clark is due to be on the j mound for Sumter and is opposed : b\ Sullivan. It will be recalled that I these are the two twirlers that en abled the people of Sumter to wit ness a real pitchers' battle, when the? I opposed one another on the lasi gam: j of the series with Wilmington three j weeks ago. Chandler is to arrive today to takt his position oh short. A complete change will be affected in the local'* outfield. The game Monday was only sevei innings but is expected to g^> the fui limit today. It will be called at < p. m. sharp and all supporters an urged to be on hand when the firsi ball is tossed. Scon- by innings: Wilmington .203 U20 0?

Wilmington Takes Third Gam of Series?Sullivan Pitched In a game of ball which was call ed at th? end of the ?th inning. Wil mington took the last of the serie from Sumter by the score of 9 to 3. Sullivan, who was the choice of the ? Wilmington manager for. the mound, I was too much for the local batters. | Pirching in great style, he kept the j locals' hits so well scattered that he j was not in danger of defeat once. However, it was- the heavy hitting j of the visitors that featured . in the ;. game. In the second inning, six i straight hits netted six runs for the j visitors. From then on the game was j never in doubt. Eurress, who start- j ed for Sumter was in no condition to I compete with Sullivan for honors. 1 Nunnamaker who relieved Burress was little better. The first two balls that Nunnamakewr threw went for clean hits. 1 j Mannush played the best of the lo ! cals, although playing out of place i he was the most consistent player for ' the Game Cocks. j Johnson of the visitors put one over j the fence in the first inning for three bases, but, never scored as Burress Istruck out then next two batters. The i Game Cocks -were the first to score j when Crawford in the first inning got a clean two base hit, went to third on ! an infield out and scored on Burns' j hit between first and second bases. jThe second inning proved to be a Wa terloo to the, locals for in this inning Twinning got a two baggar, went to j third on Joseph's two-base hit and scored on Griffith's clean single. Jo seph scor.ed on Bell's hit and Grif- i ?fith crosed the plate on a bad peg to home after Sullivan hit fo short. Bell and Sullivan both scored on Johnson's home run. ' At this juncture NTtm j namaker was called from his peace ful place in right field to assume, the role of twirler for the Game Cocks. , He fared little better than Burress in this inning for Curtis got a clean hit off of his first pitched ball. Sheppard secured a pretty double off of the sec j ond ball "Xunnie" let loose. After i this Wilmington, feeling that enough ! damage had been done decided to let j Sumter bat. The Game Cocks' netted ' two runs in this inning, but remained j scoreless the remainder of the game I while Wilmington pilled up three more to their credit. . j Wilmington simply outclassed the . {Game Cocks in Wednesday's game. ? I Today McColl comes for the second i series and with a strengthened team. i Georgetown's ream, having disbanded, i J are now helping McColl in their efforts i j to defeat Sumter. DeBerry will work s j for Sumter today and will be opposed ! by either Alec Gibson or Heines for i j McColl. Tii cas.> either opposes De ! i Berry, a pitcher's battle may be cx ' pected. McColl has a much heavier - hitting team today than when la*: ; here. Sullivan will be in Sumter to ' pitch um Friday. The game today _ [ will most likely be a fine exhibition 4 j and starts at ti P.

WILMINGTON Mil 3 CLASSED IN GAME Nunnamaker Pitcfcecl Great and Visitors Did Not Score Unt? Ninth .Tuesday afternoon Sumter defeated Wilmington in the second game of the series .7 to 2. The game was loosely played, due to the bad conditioiT of the^ diamond. ' . ' The game was very exciting, catiused by the near fights, on the sSdtjlihes, between a player and spectators. How ever, it passed without any difjfculty. The game threatened to terminal'in the sixth inning when umpire male a decision which, to the visitors,^did hot look exactly right. But after per suasion and an insufficient numhejr' of substitutes the strikers agreed to Jhi ish the game. The feature of the game was the excellent box work done by the local lad, Nunnamaker. For six innings he was twirling airr tight.-bd?, refusing as much as a single- until the sixth. :: However, he was not giv^n the proper support, for in the second .in ning the visitors had the bases, full and two outs. The next batter was retired on strikes. - .?? y In the first inning Campbell wal^S and scored on Crawford's long double to center. Wilmington tightened, v.p and played excellent ball. ' till the fourth' inning when Sumter secured three .hits which coupled with three, errors, netted three runst \... - With one out in "the ninth the Wil mington bunch began a rally which scored the only runs they obtained in the game. Sullivan,-a- - pinch-hitter, walked, stole second and scored on-a single. A long double caused the o&h-. cr score by Wilmington. One runner was thrown out at the plate in 'the rally. While the game was loosely played, it was better than the. previous olfe. The game today promises to be a ?eal test. Clark found it impossible :' to come yesterday and may not be able to be here today. In case Clark does not arrive. DuBerry will be stationed on the mound and will be opposed*by. Sullivan. Wilmingtotn is growing stronger each' day: and will present their nest at the game this afternoon. Tomorow McColl comes for the Sec ond series with the Game Cocks. Sipce Goor_;otown has disbanded McColl has been flooded with players and need less to say- has strengthened their team. Gibson, who had a bad day when last here, will most likely be on the mound. Good games are expected from the McColl team. The game today starts at 6 p.' m. sharp.
