ERSKINE LOSES BA TTING SPREE BYSCORE13TO5 ROGERS LEADS THE WAY Good, Bad and Medium Playing Seen-Salley Nabs One With i Two Fingers The Gamecocks had on their hitting feathers Thursday afternoon when they met the Erskine Seceder baseball team on Davis field, "downing" the visitors by a score of 13 to 5. Pitcher Tinkler bore the deluge of bingles throughout, toiling nine innings for the Due West delega tion. Reaves began for Carolina and was relieved by Scott- in the fourth in ning after Brskine had collected three runs on four hits. Carolina laid down her hitting bar rage in the third and made six runs, be ing aided and abbetted by several mis cues of the opposing nine. Rogers did the heavy hitting for the Bocock bunch, making four hits in five trips to the plate one going for a triple and one for a fluke home run. Brilliant fielding was made by Lamar and Rogers of the Gamecocks and by Salley who made a one-arm stab of a stinging hit to left. \Weir was an excellent fielder for Gallo way's men. Tinkier and Scott, pitchers, cracked out home runs. The game was replete with errors by both teams and, but for the hard hitting was a poor exhibition. From the spec tator's standpoint the contest was as slow as a crippled snail. A fter the last man was out no one in the stands moved to go until one of the players announced that the game was over. Both teams evidettiv had an "off day" and their respective supporters feel as sured that they are capable of a much su-pprior brand of baseball. Score by innings: R. H. B.

In the m.eanwhile the professional boxinen; RidEtrdson and \Westnedge, were holding the Birds to six bingles and three runs. It was just a matter of too much ex perience and ability onl the part of the Corners for the Birds to cope with suc ctssfully. The Comers had a good hai; club that played heads up the eAntire afternoon and they let slip no possible adlvantage to accumulate runs. Thte Comers garnered ne run ini the first andl second innings each, two ini the third, fotur in the fottrth, one in the fifth, three in the seventh, and four in the eighth.
