Pinkerton Still
Qtreusive With.
Jim Pinkerton continues to
batsmen for the third success
.385. He dropped 86 points di
comfortably in front of runne
sports a neat .357 slugging n
two baggers with four and ba
Joe Johnston monopolized Just
about every other department. He
tied Freddie Bargiacchi in times
at bat, 37, leads in hits with 11
and in runs scored, 11. Johnston,
Pinkerton and Mitchell Scott have
each hit one round-tripper.
Johnny Sykes' triple at Clem
son last week was the only one
hit by a Bird this season. Bargi
acchi continues to lead in RBIs
with nine to his credit and stolen
bases with eight.
A new column has been added
to the team batting averages. It
is the CBR column, or Chances
To Bat In Runs. These figures
show the number of times a bat
ter has come to the plate with a
runner on third base and failed to
drive him in. In many instances,
all the hitter needs is a long fly
or an infield out to score the run
ner. This column includes only a
record of runners left on third
with the batsmen's failure to hit,
not second or first base.
Pitching is the weakest of the
three departments. Carolina hurl
ers have allowed 6.48 earned runs
per game. Bill Camp stands headi
and shoulders above the rest of
the moundsmen. This workhorse
has pitched in the most games,
five (tied with Don Moore), hurl
ed more innings, 29; won the most
games, two; struck out the most
batsmen with 13 K's to his credit;
allowed the most hits, 27, most
earned runs with 12 and sports
the lowest earned run average,
3.87.
Frank Sherer has the best won
and lost record--one win against
no losses, 1.000. Sherer has also
issued the most free passes, 12.

Track Team
Meets Tigers
Here Saturday
South Carolina's two top-rank
ing track teams will meet on the
Carolina track at 2 p. m., Satur
day, when Clemson faces the
Gamecock cindermen.
Carolina edged the Tigers for
the state title at Clinton last sea
son, after Clemson had defeated
the Birds in a dual meet at Clem
son. Either of the two teams is
given a good chance of taking the
championship at the state meet
this year.
Carl Pulkinen has led Clemson
in previous meets, winning the
880-yard and one-mile runs con
sistently. Pulkinen, who was a
Southern Conference boxing final
ist in the 145-pound class, is also
a member of the Tiger one-mile
relay team. Oscar Thompson in
the 220 and 440 yard dashes, and
Jack Morgan in the 100-yard dash
are other standouts on the Clem
son team.
Norman (Scooter) Rucks, who
broke state records in the 440 and
220 Saturday against North Caro
lina State, has paced the Game
-ock tracksters this season. Rucks
did the 440 in 47.7 seconds and
the 220 in 21.3 seconds, both times
approaching the world's records.
Two freshmen, Wayne Brackett, r
niiler and two-miler, and Ed Cole
man, shot-putter and discus
thrower, have placed first often
for Carolina this year. Brackett
did the mile in four minutes, 40.3
seconds and the two-mile in ten
minutes, 45.0 seconds Saturday,
while Coieman's distance on the
shot put was 48 feet 10.5 inches II
and on the discus, 135 feet 6% a
inches. h
Track Field events will be in at
2 p. in., with the running events
starting at 2:30.

opener with Bo Hagan toeing
The Birds have won four and
lost five so far and they're re
cuperating from a disastrous
weekend at Clemson where they
split a two game series. The mound
staff looked woefully weak against
the Tigers with the exception of
Bo Hagan and Bill Camp, the two
hurlers expected to see the most
duty on the mound the remainder
of this year.
Tuesday Carolina travels to
sClinton in a single game series
with Presbyterian College. The
Gamecocks have a big edge in the
P.C. series which began in 1902
-leading 29 to 15.
Neither Furman nor P.C. are
expected to be very strong, but
0 Carolina will have to play a better
brand of ball than they have been
playing to cop these all-important
state battles. The three . games
will have much bearing on thel
state crown, since Nbwberry is
rolling over every club in its path.I
Carolina has won two and lost one
in state play so far-their vic
tories being over Clemson and
Newberry and a loss to Clemson.
They cannot be. counted out ofI
the state race, but another dis
astrous weekend will all but knock
them out of the running.
Tho Gamecocks zie much better
than the records show. In the nine:
tly games they've played they've 1
booted away four of them. Errors
of omission, poor baserunning, and!
a general not-to-wide-awake atti
tude were evident in these four
losses. An acute pitching problem
came up on the outset of the
Clemson series. The only defeat
actually dealt the Birds because
of superior play was the 7-1 lick
a- ing handed them at Bennettsville
the by Wake Forest a couple of weeks
Ims back. Thus, the fan can see thati
Carolina, with a little more ex
ies- perience and heads-up play, can
to be classed as a definite contender
the for the state crown.
Clemson looked very weak last
tee. week. Furman was licked by the
lass same mediocre Tigers, P. C. is so
.. so, and Carolina licked Newberry
ing 9-4. These are the only state teams
on the Birds' schedule and they're
by the ones to beat for the crown. It
can be done, but unly with plenty
ion, of hustle. Petoskey realizes that
eld. experience is the best teacher and
off is hopeful fo a better showing
by his charges in the 11 remain
ing games.
