PFEIFFER. WILD 111
FIRST. TIMED FOR
HOMER WITH 3 M BN
Brannen’s Spectacular Circuit
Clout Feature of Wednesday’s
Game at Playground
JACKSON PASSED 4 TIMES
Total of Twenty-Eight Hits Gar
nered by Both Teams During
Afternoon’s Batfest
Pfeiffer, who hurled for Dawson
here Wednesday afternoon, was
wild in the first and after filling
the bases with passes, was touched
b yßrannen for a homer that ent
ted Americus four runs. After this,
however, the Dawson moundsman
settled down and pitched consist
ent ball, though Americus always
maintained a safe lead in the tally
column.
The run-gettirfg started early
with Dawson scoring twice in the
first on a pass, a double, a single
and a double. They scored again
in the fourth on Brannen’s error
and Burrus’ and Kamiskey’s sin
gles. In the fifth inning Dawson
scored again on a single and a
double, and in the seventh a couple
of doubles netted them another tal
ly. In the eighth they got two
more when, after two men were
down, Poore laced out a homer with
Marquard on base, but this ended
their scoring.
Americus scored four in the first
on three passes and Brannen’s
homer; one in the second on a pass

THE PLAY A 1 'I
Here are two plays in which J. he
act of the batsman was identical,,
yet there is a difference in the re
sult produced.
Jn the first case the bats.nani.
hit the ball to the shortstop, who'
made a perfect throw to first,
which would have retire 1 the bats
man had not the first baseman
muffed the ball. ~
* There was no other runner on
at the tune. The ball rolled a
short distance from the base. The
batsman gave it a tick, sending jt
int ■> right field, and then raced t<f
ta’rd base.
In the other case was a
runner on third and no one out,
when the batsman hit the ball to
the shortstop. The throw had 'the
batter beaten, but the first base
men muffed the ball. It rolled a
short distance away and the man
•on third decided to try for the
j plate.
The batsman kicked the ball in
to right field as in the other case,
the runner on third easily scoring
and the batsman reached third.
What about the two plays?
THE INTERPRETATION.
In the second play, where the
runner on first kicked the ball into
right field, while the runner on
third was attempting to score, the
runner who kicked the ball should
have been declared out' for inter
ference, while the runner original
ly on third should have been sent
back to that base.
In kicking the ball the runner
prevented the possibility of the
first baseman getting the man at
the plate.
In the other case, a bit of com
mon sense should be mixed in with
the rules. In this case, there was
no play being made, and the run
ner who had crossed first, and had
made no attempt to go to second,
simply kicked the ball away.
I would have called time and
sent the runner who had advanced
to third back to first and inflict
ed no other penalty.
and a double and one in the third
on a couple of singles. In the
fourth the homo team pushed two
more runners across the rubber on
doubles by Williams and Lindsey,
and in the sixth two more tallies
were rung up on a pass and two
singles.

I Hamilton was accorded wonderful
I support by his team-mates, enabling

ALABAMA HAS CHANCE
TO FORGE AHEAD NO W
' MONTGOMERY, Aug. 2.—AJa
, banta has a chance to step from
the button of the list of states in
i prison reform to the topi is the
1 opinion of Dr. R. Stagg Whitin,
president of the national commit-
1 tee on prisons and prison labor.
“Your Kilby prison is modemess
is a model. It pas none outside of
New York that can equal it. My
but the changes that have taken
place in Alabama since my first
visit here under the O’Neal ad
ministration.
“The next step will be in the
abolition of the .convict lease sys
tem. That must be only a matter
1 of time. And let me say, that in
' desiring nation-wide publicity .in
selling Alabama’s great natural re
sources, there is nothing that will
' be the advertisement of a model
convict system.
“Products of Kilby prison are
being sold too low, however. They
are barely paying for the opera
tion of the plant. Your convict
labor is being given away.” Di-.
Whitin declared.
“The system of work from sun
rise to sun-set under the lease sys
tem must go. It has gone every
where except in Alabama already.” 1

in the national open last year and
what was his score
Jones finished in a tie for sec
ond place last year at Skokie with
a score of 289. The veteran pro,
John Black, shared the position
with the youthful amateur. Sara
j aen won with a score of 288, so

j Smith’s caddie, on all the greens
in a match with Jones, indicated
j the line of Smith’s putts with a
i club and held the club in position
1 while Smith putted. The club held
by Smith’s caddie did not touch the
ground but unquestionably was of
great aid to Smith in his putting.
Was Smith within his rights in
having his caddie indicate the line
of putt?
Smith was in error and should
j suffer a two-stroke penalty "for
: each violation. It is merely per
ri's ible to point out the direction
f putting before ch-’ stroke is
msec. This disputed p_>'nt i_- cov
ered by section 1 of rule 29 .
A is playing B and giving him
onp stroke a hole. They both score
a five on a certain hole in which
A had the honor. Since each scor
ed a five does A retaint the honor
1 at the next tee?
Although each made a five on
i the hole, B won the hole since A
was giving him a one-stroke handi
cap. That of course entitles B to
the honor on the next tee.
Is there a penalty if a player’s
ball strikes a flag stick which has
been permitted to remain in the
hole? -j* ■
There is no penalty if a player’s
ball strikes the flag stick while it
is in the hole, regardless of the
distance the ball is played from.

Misses Chappell, Harrold and

A few days ago the trustees of
Thalean Academy elected three of
the teachers, namely, Miss Ruth
Chappell, Miss Mary Harrold, of
Butler, Ga., and Miss Louise Good
son, of Dawson, Ga., as assistants,
but have not yet elected their prin
cipal and will probably not elect
one for some time as they are very
anxious to secure one who in every
way meets all requirements.. All of
our schools in Sumter have elected
their full quota of teachers and will
open up on the first Monday in
September. Thalean trustees think
they can find a suitable principal
by the time the schools commence.
The Andersonville Consolidated
' School district is pushing with all
speed their fine new school building
and this school district promises to
be one of the greatest schools in
the county. The principal of this
school, J. M. Lanier, is very proud
of the fact that in the late county
contests which the rural schools hold
every year, that his pupils’ records
were such as to reflect great credit
on the school. There are a number
of people who are guessing that
this school will win the live hundred
dollar prize that is offered for the
best grammar school in Sumter
county.
