VOL. VII. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., APRIL 25, 1914. No. 27 CAROINA WINS LAST FROM WAKE FOREST Come from Behind and Win in Ninth Inning. Pinch Hitters Deliver the Goods in Last Game of Season at Carolina---Score 7 to 6. Tuesday afternoon Carolina took the last game of the season on University field from Wake Forest by a score of 7 to 6. She had the pinch hitters of ability and at the right moment they brought her out of the pinchiest kind of a pinch. That is, Caro lina came from behind in the ninth inning, when the score was 6 to 4 in Wake Forest's fav or, and won by one score-7 to 6. At the beginning of the last round for the Gamecocks, Rich ards was rushed up to hit for Graydon. He did, two bases worth. Dan Heyward, careless and desperate, strode to the plate in place of Stoney. While Hey ward was drawing a base on balls, Richards advanced to thfird on a wild pitch. Then up came Big Mills as a substitute sticker for Adams. The husky hero smote the first pitched ball for two sack, and as he pulled up at second, Richards and Hey ward came in with the tieing scores. Plaxico was hit. Langston per ished when he bunted foul the third strike, and Lee caught Shuler's long fiy. Bill Rudisill had conserved his energies. The hard-hitting shortstop had gone hitless for the preceding innings, but was saving his blow for the oppor tune moment. He singled to right, and Mills came over with the winning run. It was, in truth, a glorious victory. Adams pitched a splendid game and should not have had to resort to the gruelling ninth. The Co lumbia boy allowed but five hits, and but one run should have been scored against him. He faltered in the fifth by passing one and hitting another, and his support crumpled with his un steadiness. Just a little weird work on the bases kept Carolina from having the game tucked away early in the struggle. Cuthrell pitched well for the Baptists, but his support was miserable. Wake Forest beat its previous record of eight errors by piling up ten boots Tuesday. Carolina scored two in the third. With one out, Adams was CLIO VICTOR IN HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEET Fifth Annual Event Goes to Winner of Last Year. Greenville Comes Second With Westminster and Furman Tied for Third.
