RALPH GREGORY: W hW h4V Another long road trip begins today for the baseball team in an attempt to get back on the winning side for a change. A trip to Clemson proved to be anything but pleasant for the Birds insofar as the games were concerned. Despite the two losses there was a marked increase in the batting power of the team. Eleven hits were rapped out in the first game, the highest total of the year. Eight of these came in the big six-run third inning. Larry Smith made his first start of the year and slashed two singles. In the second game he lashed a booming triple in his first time up. -The other hits were well scattered with each man in the lineup getting a hit the first day. Grady Faircloth pitched his usual fine game giving up only eight hits but lost anyway. He allowed only three earned runs but five more came in via errors. The weak defensive play remains the major trouble of the team. Three errors were committed the first day and seven during the second game. Combined these errors led to 13 un earned runs. Coach Petoskey made several shifts in the lineup to try to curb the errors. Against the two North Carolina nines the Birds will need to play heads-up ball all the way to win. Wake Forest is one of the toughest teams in the conference and Duke has been a big surprize by getting on top the hard way, by beating the Deacon team. Next week four more games are on the slate. Tuesday and Wednesday the opposition will be furnished by the Ogden team of the Class C Pioneer league. Ogden beat the Columbia Reds, a class A team, this week 5-3. Friday and Saturday Fur man will be here for two games. Clemson Sets Precedent Although they are still a far cry from being "country gentlemen" we were glad to see the Cowdets act a little more like ivilized people than they usually do. They rode the team *raw but did not pull any of their usual brand of self-styled humor. Last year they pulled the stunt of picking a live chicken in the midst of the game. Later on about 100 of the cow col legians parked behind the plate and began waving tee shirts to distract the pitcher. None of these tricks were tried this year and other than the barbarous remarks hurled at the players the games went off rather well. Just Checking Up The Carolina outfield seemed to catch fire defensively against Clemson in the second game. Rube Wells and Bobby Rogers both made catches that were of major league caliber. Wells made a long run for one which he grabbed near the foul line and later on took one off the fence that was going for a home run had he not grabbed it. Bobby Rogers came in for a short line drive which he grabbed about four inches above the ground to prevent another run from scoring. Gus Allen was injured the first day and suffered from a sore wrist that hindered his throwing to second base. Fred Duckett relieved Gus and threw two quick strikes to prevent any more stealing. It was Duckett's first catching chore this year. Billy Stephens hit in his fifth straight game when he singled in the eighth inning of the second Clemson game. His average dropped in the series, however, as he went two for eight. Billy Stephens is leading the regular lineup with a .360 average. He also has the most hits, 9. Larry.Smith has a .375 average but has played in only two games. Stephens is tied with Walt Shea for the RBI lead. Both boys have six through the Clemson games. Grady Faircloth is the leading hurler in every department. He has worked 36 innings, struck out 19 men and has an earned run average of 2.75. There have been several changes in the baseball schedule with games against Citadel and Clemson being rescheduled as doubleheaders. Following is the remaining schedule as it now appears: April 13-Wake Forest at Wake Forest April 14-Duke at Durham April 17-18-Ogden here April 20-21-Furman here April 24-Davidson here Api-il 27-Citadel at Charleston (doubleheader) May 1-Davidson at Davidson May 4-N.

The other people with correct answers were: Bill Rabon, J. M. Smoak, Jack Hardee, Irv Liskov, Victor Laurie and George Clauson. Also, J. G.

This great major leaguer played second base and is considered to be one of the greatest to ever play this position. He was a smooth fielder and a great hitter. He did not hit many home runs but his lifetime batting average is .338. He was a Frenchman and his nick name was Larry. Most of his service was with Cleveland.

Cl On Ro Seeks Second f After Losing P Today in Wake Forest the Game cock baseball team takes on the Wake Forest nine in search of its second win of the young season. Tomorrow afternoon in Durham the Birds will meet Duke in another conference set-to. The Gamecocks have dropped six straight games since beating Fur man in the opener, 2-0. The two latest losses were at the hands of Clemson, 8-6 and 11-1. Both games were marred by sloppy defensive play on the part of the Game cocks. Wake Forest and Duke are two Df the best teams that the Birds will face this year. The two teams are running one-two in the confer ence. Duke is unbeaten in the league while Wake Forest has lost Lnly once, that to Duke. The Wake Forest nine is studded with veterans who were members Df last year's conference cham pionship team. The Deacon team was the U. S. representative in the Pan-American games held last month. This will be the only game played with Wake Forest. Duke is another team that has proven itself very tough to beat. The Blue Devils trounced the Birds twice earlier in the season. Since then they have beaten Wake Forest 8-0 and are at present on top of the Southern conference standings s At Prices an Afford A. M. til 12:00 P.

Led by shortstop Dick Groat, Duke pr sents a hard hitting team as wl as one with exceptional pitching. Grady Faircloth will probably pitch against Wake Forest and Bil Camp will get the call again Duke. Faircloth has won one game and lost three while Camp has yet to win while losing three. Otis Rawls, sophomore righthander, will get the nod for a relief role should it become necessary. The team h'as been strengthened in the outfield by the addition of Larry Smith in right field. Smith had three hits against Clemson in. cluding a long triple. Benton King may be moved to third base in order to further strengthen the in. field. Otherwise the lineup is ez. pected to be the same. 3-Hour Dry Cleaning Service Press While You Wait 1-Day Dry Cleaning an Lau Service A OW CLEANERS 1209 GervaIs .........-.
