O. Defeat Caro lina's Baseball Team Last ' Week f Coach Dutch Stamman's hopes of c bringing a baseball title to Carolina a turned toward "next year" as the Game cocks dropped two contests this week to eliminate their chances at the Palmetto championship. c Erskine's Seceders came to Columbia f last Saturday to score runs galore and e nose out the Stammanmen 9 to 8, loose fielding by the Gamecocks paving the way t for the visitor's rallies. Doing the hurl- e ing for Carolina was right hahder Ca- n pers McCravey, who allowed eleven hits to the boys from Due West. TI?e Game cock attack mustered eighteen bingles off the slants of DuPont Smith, but the outcome was decided by the ragged field ing of the hometown lads. The Carolina attack was lead by J. B. Henson, Big Durham, Van Edwards, and John Burns, slamming out three hits each. For Erskine, Brown was the leading slug ger and reached McCravey for three hits. Smith of Erskine struck out nine Caro- r lina batsmen during the course of the t contest, while McCravey was only able to send the third strike past one batter. By the overwhelming score of 11 to 1 Presbyterian College trounced the Game cocks last Wednesday at Melton field, i Chick Galloway's boys walloping Caro- t lina's Louis Tabor for a total of thir teen base knocks, and capitalizing on the Alphonse and Gaston style of fielding ex hibited by the losers. 8 Big gun Banjo Williams, Carolina C shortstop, proved to be the only one who could solve the delivery of left hander b Suggs, lining out a double and two singles, and crossing the plate once to save the Stammanmen from receiving a washout. Van Edwards, Ed Clary, and t Wilburn Clary, each drove..out one base r hit. c Tabor was nicked for safeties by all of the winner's batsmen except Left Suggs, who seemed to concentrate his energies on shoving his curve ball past the Game cock batters. Newberry came to Columbia yesterday to engage the Stammanmen. Saturday the Gamecocks will travel to Clemson to meet the Tigers in their second combat of the season, the Stammanmen emerging as victor in the initial meeting by the score of 4 to 3. Fred Craft's frosli nine was slated to contest the Winnsboro Mills baseball team last Wednesday, but the game was postponed by rain.
