TIGERS ROUTE CAROLINA
WHEN DEFENSE CRACKS
Errors Followed by Timely
Hitting of Clemson
Responsible
The Gamecoeks were put to
flight on last Tuesday afternoon
by the Tiger aggregation, from
up Clemson way, in a game that
was more farce than baseball.
The Carolina defense went to
pieces in the very first inning,
and no pitcher can stand such
errors behind him and hold up.
In this lies the tale of the worst
defeat Carolina has suffered for
years, the final score being 18 to
For the birds who had come off
with a 2 to 1 victory the previous
afternoon in one of the prettiest
games of the season, the sight
was almost unbelievable. Caro
lina nude ten errors, while Clem
son was making twenty hits-the
combination proving fatal.
The score by innings tells the
rest, and is as follows:
Clemson 304 030 008-1K
Carolina 020 000 000--2

BATTLE WITH FURMAN
RESULTS IN A DRAW
Three Runs Scored in Eighth
As Darkness Ends Game
The Fosterites came from be
hind in the eighth inning in the
game with Furman on last Wed
nesday just in time to tie the
score before Umpire Weir called
the game on account of darkness.
The final score was 8, all, and
nobody was sorry to see hostilities
terminated because of the dark
ness and uncomfortably chilly
wind.
The game was a queer mixture
of spectacular playing and b1Id
errors for both teams. Carolina
got a lead of two runs in the
third and fourth rounds, but in
the fifth and sixth Furman got a
merry-go-round started which re
suited in eight runs. At the ter
mination of Furman's end of the
sixth it looked almost hopeless
for the Gamecocks. but that old
fighting spirit was there. and in
ning by inning the birds crept up
on their opponents. In the eighth
and last inning of the game be
en tn the heavy hitting of the
Fosterites and the noise of the
side lines, the Furman defense
blew up and before the last man
was out the score stood 8 to 8.
The stars of the game from a
batting view point were: Speer
and Gressette for Furman; and
Clark, Chandler and Brown for
Carolina. A beautiful catch by
Richard>~on of Furman in right
field and the playing of Sims and
Clark. the latter in spite of three
errors, were the fielding features.
