fe- ^ Intramu BIRD NINE T\V BLUE STO * Gamecocks Continue Way Unde- , feated In Rush To State Championship The Gamecocks continued their march to the state baseball championship by s trampling the Blue Stockings from Clinton, iu the second game of the two-game series Wednesday afternoon by the score of 10 to 2. The deciding factor in this game was the heavy clouting of the Gamecocks, Peter Richards leading the attack with four infield hits. Hicks was next with a single and a double. Blair knocked a home run. Each team hit freely, Carolina getting eleven safeties while P. C. was getting ieight. Ouzts was the more effective pitchcr. He kept the eight hits he allowed ^ well scattered and always tightened up in , the pinches. Carolina started its scoring in the first inning. Vanghan drew a base on balls, ^ Boineau flew out to Williams, Edens hit a fast one to Williams, who hobbled it and Edens went to second. After Laval walked, Harley hit for a single. Vanghan was caught at the plate, but Edens scored. In the second stanza the Gamecocks began in earnest to put the game on ice. Hits were bunched by Edens, Harley, Richards, Onzts, and the home run by Blair scored altogether six markers. The game rocked along smoothly until the seventh inning when the Roosters again opened fire. Three hits, two errors and a base on balls netted two more scores. The last inning resulted in one run. Harley got on by an error and scored when Hicks hit a two-bagger. The Blue Stockings scored one run each in the fourth and fifth stanzas. Hits by MacFie, Williams, and Cheatham ^ scored this first run. In the next round a walk, error, and a hit by McCntchcon . scored the final tally by the Blue Stockings. The Gamecocks were scheduled to meet the Clemson Tigers in a two-game series Friday and Saturday, but a new case I of meningitis caused the postponement [ of these two games.

Howard and Lipscomb starred for Clemson in Saturday's matches while Holman shone for the Birds. Elliot Crum, fast Bird netman was unable to play in the doubles because of fever and his place was taken by Bobby Killingsworth, who was paired with Collins. The entire Bird team stood up to their game and they look like state champions in every respect.

I % \ Close ]\ The two-game baseball series scheduled between the University of South Carolina and Clemson for Friday and Saturday of this week has been canceled, according to an announcement from Dr. R. K. Foster Wednesday. Postponement of the contests was nedipsitated by the outbreak of a new meningitis epidemic at the agricultural institution. The two games were originally scheduled to be played at Clemson, but had been changed so that the Gamecocks and Tigers would mix in Columbia this week and at Clemson at a latei* date. Carolina's next game is with Newberry, Monday, on Davis Field. FRESHMAN NINE GETS JN SHAPE Twenty Candidates Out For Biddie Berths? No Schedule So Far According to Coach "Whitcy" Rawls, there is material galore for the freshman baseball team. There are approximately twenty candidates who have been working out daily and among them there are some potential diamond stars. Those who have been showing up well thus far are Wolf, Hambright, Hajek, Griffiths, Houseal, and Robbins. This docs not mean that those arc the only ones out and who arc good. The others are Meers, McManus, Johnson, Parler, PoliakofT, Joyner, Clary, Crosby, Mackay, Raby, and Barrentine. The freshman team isn't going to have a schedule this year and as far as can be learned no games are going to be played. The men are going through their paces in order to learn who might help bolster up the varsity next year and to get the men in shape who are going to play during the summer months. With such a team in prospect it is too bad that some sort of a schedule can't be rigged up. According to unanimous opinion the team shouldn't have any difficulty in copping the freshman baseball championship. Grayson Wolf, who has proved himself one of the best freshman athletes at the University this year, is a candidate for tnoundsman. Wolf had a highly successful season last season playing with the Southern Railroad team in Charleston, topping all the other pitchers in the league. Other bright prospects for infield are Barrentine, Hambright, Hajek, Friffiths, Culp, Houseal, Robbins, and Raby. With this array of material on hand the varsity stock should take a big jump next year in spite of losses of players incurred by graduation. u. s. c. lold: "Don you make life-size enlargements from snapshots?"

Much Competition Shown The intramural boxing tournament will reach a climax Monday night when the fighters who have survived the elimination bouts held Tuesday and Thursday nights get under way to twenty-four i rounds of fighting in the finals.

Bantamweight: Calhoun Lemon, 116, won from J. R. Ray, 119, decision. Lightweight: Billy Bull, 137, won from W. R. Clark. 139, decision. Bill Humphlett, 139, won from D. N. Brunner, decision.

Aggressive fighting, hard punching, and gameness featured in all the fights. Thursday's results were as follows: Bantamweight: J. T. Duncan, 119, won ' from Abbott, 119, decision. Lightweight: Billy Bull, 138, won from D. A. Connelly, 137, decision. Welterweight: C. T. Brown, 144, won from Harry Singletary, 149, decision.
