CAROLINA WINS T OF FIVE P Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Battle With Carolina-I Each From the Virg Carolina had another full sched ule in baseball last week; five games in all, beginning Tuesday and continuing thru Saturday. Three out of the five contests went to the Gamecocks. Tuesday Virginia Polytechnic Institute came for two games, Carolina taking the first and the visitors the second of the series. Wake Forest, an old rival, came Thursday and stayed for two days, taking the first game and iosing the second. Saturday, Fritz von Kolnitz brought the Methodists from Wofford for a battle with the Gamecocks. This game went to the credit of Carolina. The week had a good start. In fact the game Tuesday was the best up to that tim6 played on University field this year. Newton came out with some of his real' work. Thirteen men who faced the big boy found that their bats would not meet the ball and were out on strikes. In spite of this the Virginia lads were able to get seven hits which they used to advantage bringing in six runners. Newton not only pitched a good game but got two hits out of three times at bat. Snipes whd goes strong with the stick came in for two hits out of three chances in the first game of the series. Simms and Clark took the two remaining hits credited to Carolina. Treakle, who pitched for Flor ence last summer, was working for the visitors and pitched high grade ball. In the sixth inning he struck out the entire side. B. Williams and Powell were the battery stars for the V. P. I's. The story changed Wednesday and the visitors beat Carolina 3 to 1. The game opened with Cy Simms in the box for Carolina. Cy only allowed three hits in four innings but did not have proper control. Waters substi tuted in the fifth for Simms and permitted only two hits during the last five innings. Wildness was Waters' greatest trouble. This being the first regular game for either, both deserve credit for their work. Waters did good work in the eighth, after walk ing three- menj pulled out and did not allow a run. HREE GAMES AYED LAST WEEK Wake Forest, and Wofford All he Gamecocks Take One ,inians and Tarheels. Clark continued heavy work with the stick, getting three hits out of four trials at the plate. lChandler, L. Sims and Barks dale got a hit each, making the total for Carolina. The field work of the Gamecocks was per fect. The error column was filled throughout with zeros. The Williams brothers made the story for the Virginians in this game. Between them they got three of the five hits credit ed to V. P. I. Bilt, struck out ten Carolina men, did. not allow a base on balls, and did not hit a batter. His control was well nigh perfect. The defeat of Wedneeday seemed to follow the Carolina nine over night and to affect their work Thursday when they met the Baptists from North Carolina. Capt. Adams pitched for the Garnet and Black and started off with his usual high class work but poor support soon let the Wake Forest crew get a strong lead which finally resulted in 13 runs forthe Baptists against 5 for Carolina. Captain Adams struck out thirteen men during the game, but the heavy hitters found him in the long contest for sixteen clean ones. Clark came in for three hits in this game and Snipes drove for the same number. Simril was put in during the ninth to bat for Ellzy and drove out a two-bagger scoring Seaborn. The game was characterized by its length and the plentifulness of errors. The god of fortune changed his smile and Friday brought back the baseball atmosphere. The work of both teams was much better. When the dust had cleared away-it really was a dusty day and at times the players and spectators were al most blinded by the sand--the score stood 6 to 2 in honor of Carolina. The game was called at 5:45 in order that the visitors might catch a train. Martin twirled for Carolina and was in good form, giving only five hits to the Baptists. The field gave him strong support. In the fourth several hits were bunched on Frank, the Wake Forest pitcher. Simril caught for (CONTfIITJ) OW I'r uK MIX OFFICERS ELECTED BY LITERARY SOCIETIES James and Browne Wear Robes of Honor. H.
