ON THE BALL
Witi
Ish Moore
That Gamecock has finally gotten to work--Spring and
spring sporti have come to Carolina ! The crack of the base
ball bat is really in earnest now; the racket-teers aren't ping
ing just for the fun of it any more: and the golfers aren't
walking around the country club merely for exercise-there's
plenty of competition for the Carolina athletes.
Though the Catfish might not think so. the Diamond boys
looked pretty good list week-end. even in losing those two
games to the more-experienced Michigan State crew. Those
first two games gave the Coach and players alike a good
chance to adapt themselves and get things lined up for local
Competition. This afternooni the squad packs ilp and moves
over to the Fort for a tussel with the .Jackson team. 3oth
gangs have something in common-losses to the Spartans.
(and by the same score 9-6!). so it's a good bet that they'll
be out for blood. Incident'ally, that double phaY at the begin- i
ning of the ?'??? inning Fridav ft om Fountaii to Willis to
Clark looked pretty snapp y from our "press-box" in the
grandstands (Press Rox, that is. son-Of course, that iron
fence we were sitting oi most of the game was ratiher tough
on my poor feelings at the time.) Pinky Pintckerton showed
plenty of the stuff ont the mound Satur<ay afternooti and ac
tually had control of the situation with a victory inl sight un
til a few costly errors pulled the game out of the bag for the
- visitors.

According to ''rac ' v, that was a little t) much-evenl it the

the match with a six-fourt win ill tlhe next set. These racket
toters brought home t1h bacoi last week: so there's plentty
