fishy lines Bits on Baseball Carolina's baseball team has only five home games sched uled after next week's games with Wake Forest Monday and Tuesday. . . . A brilliant .964 fielding average and a 2.75 earned run average by the pitching staff have been the out standing factors in the early season success of the diamond team.... An "impossible" play by Frank Ellerbe in the ninth inning against Duke Tuesday was followed by one of the longest crowd ovations heard in a long time at a Carolina baseball game ... Ellerbe gets this column's early nomination for all-conference second baseman with his early all-round play. His defensive work has been sparkling and he's leading the hitting with a .385 batting average. His base-running has been very good except for one time against Duke when he was doubled off second on an ordinary fly ball. Frank thought there were two out instead of one. His drag bunting has been a work of art. . . . Al Spotts is the only infielder who hasn't made an error. His defensive work has been out standing and he has made several very difficult plays. . . . Coach Ted Petoskey thinks that once Bill Wohrman gets a couple of hits, he'll be hard to stop. Wohrman showed his potential power when he blasted a pitch against Duke over the left field fence into Devine Street, but it was a few feet l'oul. .. . The Gamecocks have left 32 men on base in the first four games and their opponents have stranded 34. . . . Pitcher Howard Tunstall is being considered by Petoskey as a poten tial rightfielder against southpaw pitching. Howard lined a long single off the left field fence in his only time at bat this season.... Several of Tom Hofferth's long outs to centerfield would have hit on or over the fence if they had been pulled more to left. . . . )uke outfielder Red Smith was reportedly offered a $16,000 bonus when he finished high school. An ankle injury last football season is giving him trouble with his hitting.... Catcher Jiimmy Cox was the first Gamecock to take advantage of the restored sacrifice fly rule. He brought Mike Caskey home from third in the fifth inning of the second Duke game with a long fly to centerfield. . . . The team with the best won-lost percentage in conference games will be declared ACC baseball champ this year. . . . The Gamecocks play every other conference team twice.
