POOR GAME AND BIG SCORE Sumter Gave McColI a Regular Dubbing in Last of Series Saturday the Gamecocks came back with revenge, for the close games 1 that McColl had played them, and pounded unmercifully the four pitch ers' that the visitors used in an effort to stem the batting tide of the local team. Finally, Pearson was thrown upon the mound in the last inning. He has a great reputation and would undoubtedly have pitched an excellent game, but he had no catcher. Nearly half the balls thrown by him passed the catcher as well as the batter. On the other hand Nunnamaker for Sumter pitched a most excellent game. He allowed the visitors very few hits in the seven inning game which was won by Sumter 10 to 1. [ A combination of hits, erroi's and other baseball, both good and bad. j on the part of both, teams caused, the i locals to secure seven runs in the lifth inning. None of the visitors came up to the standard they had set on the previous day. Neither team deserve any credit for their playing since both were weak ened .instead of strengthened, for the contest. Taken all in all, it was the poorest game of the season and was ! a relief to the fans when the umpire called the game at the end of the sev enth* inning. No interest was shown in the game by either fans or play ers. The one shining feature of the ragged game was the batting of John son. As usiial, this boy lifted the ball over the fence when the bases were filled with runners. Pearson played best for Mcoll, both behind the bat and in the box. Score by innings: McColl.000 000 0 1 Sumter.200 071 x 10 Umpire: Jackson; Scorer. Winn. There is iu game here today, but on Tuesday.the strong team from St. Matthews comes for a three-day se ries. It will be remembered that this is a team composed mostly of college players. "Stumpey" Banks of Clem son fame, is their snappy catcher. In Rhame, a Furman man, will be found an all-round player. Luther, of Newberry college, ? will most likely twirl one game. Bill "Wolfe of Car olina, is another of their pitchers. "Mit" Jeffords and "Point" Scovill of the Citadel hold important positions as short and second baseman, re spectively. ? v Thackston of Clemson and Smith of Carolina are outfielders. The Gamecocks will present their best appearance with the following lineup: Burns, catcher: Sullivan. Clark. DeBerry and Nunnamaker as pitchers. "Bobbre" "Burnette will hold the initial sack with Mannush on second. The shortstop comes from Wilmington, as does Campbell, the thirdsacker. The outfields will be se lected from Crawford, Johnson, Mar tin and Brown. All games start at 6 P. M. TWO MOTORISTS ARE KILLED Greensboro. N. C. Aug. 24.?Mrs. Mamie C.

Loan's Kidney Pills are for kidney backache, and for other kidney ills. Sumter citizens endorse them. Mrs. A. Hancock, 103 Blanding St, Sumter, says: "Last year I had a slight attack of kidney trouble and there was a bad'^m through the small of my back. My head ached, my nerves were all unstrung and dizzy spells bothered me. Black specks floated before my eyes most of the time and blurred my sight. My kidneys acted irregularly and I knew I would have to do some thing. Finally I bought a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and used them. Doan's acted like magic and after I j had finished the box. the trouble dis-j appeared. I haven't been bothered since and it gives me great pleasure to recommend Doan's." Price 60c,? at all dealers.
