LAFAYETTE TRIUMPHS
OVER CAROLINA NINE.
(Continued from front page.)
ed a comedy of errors, Lafayette
took the second game of the se
ries from the Gamecocks Tues
day, 5 to 4. The University
team made a great rally in the
eighth inning and came in an ace
of pulling. the game out of the
fire by scoring four runs. But
the one more needed run was
lacking.
Martin, pitching his first var
sity game for Carolina, twirled
excellently and deserves credit
for his work in the face of errat
ic support by his team mates.
Half of the hits secured by the
visitors were of the scratch ord
er, and but for the ten errors
made by the University team,
the result might have been dif
ferent. He fielded his position
well and was steady at all times.
After having been shut out,
.for sixteen consecutive innings
by the visitors the Gamecock
crew came with a rush in the
eighth inning. Horton started
the fun with a single to centre,
and went to second on Leach's
infield out. Clark singled to
right and Horton was held at
third. Martin's sacrifice fly to
deep right scored Horton, Clark
being at first. Plaxico singled
to centre, Clark going to second.
The two runners then pulled off
a clever double steal. Stoney hit
hard to left, scoring Clark and
Plaxico. Wright made a wild
throw to second in an attempt to
catch the Gamecock captain, and
Stoney scored.
Score by innings:
R. H. E.
Lafayette 102 011 000-5 8 1
Carolina 000 000 040-4 5 10
Batteries: Girrard and Wright;
Martin and Stoney.
WEDNESDAY'S GAME
Lafayette defeated Carolina
Wednesday for the third suc
cessive time by the score of 8 to
1. The game was called in the
sixth inning to allow the visitors
to catch a train. Opportune hit
ting by the Pennsylvania bunch,
coupled with loose fielding on
the part of the University team'
caused the downfall of the
Gamecocks.
Coach Smith's proteges could
not connect with the offer
ings of Brown, getting only one
clean hit and two of the scratch
variety.
In an effort to get a winning'
combination Sid Smith shifted
his team somewhat in this game,
putting Wells at short and
Clark at second. Both of these
men put up creditable games.
For the visitors Edwards, the
speedy left fielder, got four hits
out of as many tries, one being
a circuit swat.
The score was as follows:

GREAT EASTER WEEK
FOR CAROLINA STUDENTS.
(Continued from front page.)
will take place during the week.
On Monday and Tuesday there
will'be baseball games with Muh
lenberg College of Pennsylvania,
and also another game on Satur
day with Oak Ridge. Wednes
day afternoon the Sylvan cross
country race will be run. Efforts
are being made to have a spec
tators' car to follow the races so
that their progress can be watch
ed by more than a few. There
will also be a track meet on Wed
nesday afternoon with Wofford.
Altho the contract has not been
signed it is practically assured
that this feature will grace the
program for Easter Week.
On the whole, the prospects
for a successful Easter Week are
bright. All that remains is the
hearty cooperation of every man
on the campus and every body
will have a big time.
POSTS FOR FENCE
ARRIVED TO-DAY
Contractors Will Begin to Place
Them Monday.
Owing to the fact that the
material, of which the fence
is to be constructed, has been
delayed, nothing has been done
toward completing the fence
around Davis Field. The posts
arrived today and work will be
resumed Monday.
After much delay the plans
have been completed for the
grandstand. They have been
furnished by Mr. G. E. Shand,
free of charge. Mr. Shand, an
old alumnnus of Carolina, is one
of the leading architects of Co
lumbia. He has always shown
an interest in the welfare of his
alma mater, and his furnishing
plans for the new athletic field,
free of charge, is in keeping with
his loyalty in the past. Mr.
Shand came to the rescue and
generously did the work without
charge. His action is greatly
appreciated by the student body
and the committee in charge of
the rebuilding of the fence and
grandstand.
The posts will be put up by a
contractor, as already announced
in the columns of the Gamecock.
This work will be pushed to com
pletion. Then the student body,
consisting of seniors, and senior
lawyers and academics, juniors,
sophomores, freshmen, specials
and graduates, will be put to
work nailing the boards on the
fence.
It is possible that a temporary
stand will be erected for the re
maining baseball games of the
year, as it wou.ld take some time
to erect the rnovable bleachers
and new grandstand.
