Jim Pinkerton, ace righthander, went all ttie way for the losers, but lack of hitting In the clinches lost the encounter. The Indians were unable to do anything wrong, and Hutch Hutchinson was able to rack up his second win in three days over the Gamecocks. The game was halted in the third inning, due to rain, but the weather cleared up In short order and the affair was resumed. The Indians stayed on top all the way when they scored their first run in the -- inning and never re linquished the lead. Pinkerton showed good form, but the Indians were just hot, and this, coupled with a couple of miscues by the Birds, gave them enough unearned runs to win the game. Pinkerton also led his team in hitting by slamming out two -hin gles-for trips to the plate. Bruce Tate played his usual fine game be hind the plate and made a beau tiful putout as the Indian short stop, Robinson, slid in to the plate in the sixth inning. Andrews also looked good down at third. Pepper llowell was shifted to left field and did a fine job in the outer garden. H-utchison was the outstanding star for the Indians as lhe pitched and batted his teami to victory. COLUMBIA DAIRIES * 917 Main Street COLUMBIA, S. C.

May 11, saw our pistol team go to bat for national R. 0. T. C. honors, at 8:30 A. M. the' stage was all set. First man to fire was "I'm nervous as a cat" Robert' Bolin. Loud cheers were heard a few minutes later when he walked in with a resounding 265 out of a possible 300. This was a full 15 points over what the team expected to average and gave him top score for the team. Next In line to fire was "Middle man on a totem pole" Dick Toupin. By this time the strain was starting to tell and Dick dropped 14 points below the charmed 250 for a 236. Little Blackie Stowers, who by the way is so light he should wear div ing shoes while firing to keep from being knocked off the rango by the kick of his pistol, also dropped to a 2.36. At this point all brows were wet, even the coach. Our third man up was "llonest I was in early" Weber. The slow fire almost threw him, but he recover ed on the other two strings to come out with a 241. With one man left to shoot the team was down 22 points from a hoped 250 averagS. Our anchor man was none other than George Seymore. George was one of the last men to make the pistol team and turn ed in a nice set of targets. His 239 didn't make the 250 mark, but gave him third place honors. A grand total of 1217 was turned in, 33 points below what was hoped for. So far no one knows how this will place us, as scores from all the other schools haven't come in as yet. There is still a small hope of being top team. We are all hoping that the other teams competing were as nervous as we were. There has been a lot of work put into this match, most of it Ih firing members own time. So win lose or draw Ale all can be plenty proud of the boys. We are all sitting with out' fingers cross ed waiting for the others scores to come in.
