Badin Plays Sumter
The Badin boys journeyed to Sumter,
C., last Friday, to play the fast Sum-
Club two games, but due to one of
^he cars breaking down several times
unable to reach Sumter in time to
play the first game. One of the cars
abandoned about forty-eight miles
Sumter, and half of the club trav-
®^6d the rest of the distance in the car
^hich in no way gave trouble, and the
alance railroaded to Hartsville, sixteen
^iles distant, where they remained for
night. They left Hartsville the next
Corning, and reached Sumter at ten a.
In spite of all the mishaps and
ii'esome ride and lack of sleep, the boys
a good account of themselves by
0 ding the Sumter boys to one run in
innings. York pitched a wonderful
^arne, and in face of receiving a hot
® on the leg from a line drive in the
inning he continued and pitched the
^ game, allowing Sumter but five hits
one run. Harris got a beautiful
1‘ttl^ fourth inning, and with a
e more luck it might have netted
more than it did.
, the boys gave a good account of
^ emselves, even Miller removing his
oes on the return trip so that in step-
into a watermelon patch no one
^ould hear him.
little bit of luck next time, and the
oacon will be ours.
ddin Takes Two Games from Granite
Falls .
£ last Friday afternoon, Badin de-
gfa Granite Falls at Tallassee Park,
game, although not
to ^^^®^®sting, was a good one, for
th Badin fans who saw
mix up it showed what the bunch
an do when every turn of the game
® not against them.
but team played real baseball,
t^ main feature of the game was
® pitching of Vann, who should have
Sen credited with a shut-out. Also
plTy Kearns pulled a fast double
parts of the game Vann held
in^ helpless against his offer-
^gs, while on the other hand his team-
no difficulty in connecting
nett opposing pitcher. Mack Ar-
^ young third baseman, played
^ound third in old league style. We
also glad to see the Count Harris
back on first.
In the second game, the visitors found
that they were absolutely helpless
against our old veteran right hander,
York.
Interest in the game died early, for
it could easily be seen that with the
confidence gained the day before, Badin
would find Granite Falls easy. Jones,
the visitor’s twirler of the day before,
took the mound, but he didn’t last long,
and his successor was very little better
against the heavy hitting of the Badm
batters.
On the whole, the game was slow and
uninteresting. Badin played a good
game, and by far had the visitors out-

“Giv© Us This Day
“Give us this day our daily bread
The drowsy lad v.ith lowered head
Prayed on. “—An’—Lord, please send a
chunk
‘0’ good ola mea" from cle Dad Funk.
“I like to go to him for meat,
Dunno—but seems like I could eat
A nelefant—an’—all his trunk,
’F it was sliced by cle Dad Funk.
“Sometimes I bark, an’ Dad just smiles-
An’ gives me wienies by the miles.
It would be nice, I’ve often thunk,
If more folks smiled like ole Dad
Funk.
“An’ when I baa. Dad never stops,
But whacks and cuts out nice lamb
chops.
I never cry for pies or junk,
When ma cooks meat from ole Dad
Funk.
“An’ when I roar, Dad gets his ax!
An’ then you hear some awful cracks!
An’ then you hear one big kerplunk!
An’ that’s my steak from ole Dad
Funk!
“An’ when I get to Heaven, Lord,
I’ll come to you for room an’ board.
If”—the tired head to dreamland sunk—
“If you’ll buy meat from ole Dad

•His Anniversary
“And now,” asked the Sunday School
superintendent, smiling benignly upon
the class. “Can any little boy or girl
tell me what great event took place upon
Good Friday.”
“Yes, Sir; I can,” replied a youthful
voice from the back row. “That’s the
day I whaled h— out of Red Smith.”
