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.

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
