GAMECOCK CITY
WINS AT TRACK
Sumter Captures Annual High
School Event.
The annual South Carolina
high school track meet~ at the
University Friday proved to be'
one of the best held here re
cently. Two records were
broken and others were dan
gerously approached, and all
events closely contested. Sum
ter high school won the meet
with a total of 21 points. Wil
liam Thomas Poole of Green
ville was a close second with
17 points, assisted by one of his
team mates made a total of 18
for the Piedmont city, with the
individual cup going to its
chief performer.
New State high school rec
ords were set in the pole vault
by Poole with ten feet nine
inches, one inch better than the
previous record, and DeLorme
of Sumter bettered his own
time of last year in the half
mile run, making the distance
in two minutes, 13 2-5 seconds.
The result of the contest was
never definitely decided until
the last ten feet of the last
race, the quarter mile. At the
start of this event Sumter was
ahead with 18 points. Easley
'second with 13 and Greenville
third with 12. This left a pos
sibility for either of the three
teams to carry off the honors.
Poole and Payne, both of
Greenville, rounded the final
curve neck and neck, the for
mer gradually pulling ahead
by a few yards. Payne made
the fatal mistake of looking
back and DeLorme of Sumter
pale as a sheet, puffing like a
locomotive and digging for all
he was worth, gradually
ground by and reached the fin
ish line in second place by a
scant foot, and saving the meet
for his team. Had Payne held
his position his team would
have totaled 20 points to Sum
ter's 19.
Poole, the Greenville lad
who carried off the individual
cup with a total of 17 points,
showed a remarkable stickabil
ity and a wonderful amount of
the "real stuff" in his craw.
With another such running
'mate his team would have had
an easy time. The events
which he entered were among

OGLETHORPE WINS
IN TENTH INNING
Georgians Make Clean Sweep
of Carolina Series.
Carolina and Oglethorpe
played a listless but exciting
game Thursday afternoon, the
visitors winning in the tenth by
the score of 10 to 7.
The Gamecocks played poor
ly in the first and third innings,
but tightened up and played
good ball until the tenth. The
Birds went to bat in the ninth
two runs behind, but tied the
score and had a chance to win,
three men being left on bases
in this frame. Pinch hitters in
the ninth caused a shift in the
lineup. The first two Ogle
thorpe batters in the tenth ar
rived on two close plays and
the locals were unable to pull
Dut of the hole.
The two second basemen
played fine ball, while Skinner
came across with a home run
to left field with one on, one of
the hardest drives ever seen
here. Wallace went the route
for the Gamecocks and pitched
a splendid game.
