The question is for you, Mr; Wagon User, to ariswer
in your own way. You'll have to make a decision?
perhaps right now; perhaps later; but, in any event,
in the near future. >
We want to help you aft we can in making your
decision The best way w: know of is to remind
you of what is happening to the roads.
On 90% of the country roads cf today the automobile
makes tho track In a short iune this wili increase
to more nearly 100So, Tho automobilj with its
standardized 53 inch width has coma to stay Con
sequently the 'Wto'^tyack farm wagon ha? also
come t? stay. Ma;yb:3"yeur own automobile is help
ing to make this standardisation permanent on
the roads.
Isn't it, then, the logical thing for you to buy wagons
that will track perfectly and smoothly in the path or
n*ts made by the automobile? Do you want the
wheels on one side of your wagon to follow the rut
while those on the ether side ride on rough ground,
jolting and wracking your wagon, putting an extra
strain on your horses and spoiling the road for your
own or other autos?
When everybody uses "auto'3 track wagons?as we
believe everybody will in the near t_. cure?ail this road
trouble will be overcome, Wagoas and automobiles
will run smoothly in the same tracks, caving wear
and tear on wagons, horses, autos and tires, arid
making better roads,
Come in and talk it over with us, We have a let
of information?more than we have room to print
that will help you in making your decision on the
type of the next wagon you buy.

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.

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

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.
