- fish, Imues -4 Al .Spottm-Basebal's Best .180 Hitter--Lost - Probably the most valuable .180 hitter in baseball was lost to the Carolina Gamecocks last week when first baseman Al Sotta %suffered a dislocated left elbow against North Spotta, whose brilliant fielding all season had saved more than one Carolina infielder from throwing errors, was pulled off the bag by a wide throw in last Friday's game with the Tar Heels and the North Carolina player who hit the ball collided with him, knocking the joint out of place. He'll probably be out for the rest .of the season. Coach Ted Petoskey said that the Injury to Spotta seemed to upset the entire team, with the result that the Gamecocks committed 12 errors in the two games, including four in one inning in the second game, lost both games, and tried three fugr basemen before Petoskey finally decided on Bill Wohr man, who had just been moved back to center field after a season-loftg trial at third base. Carl Brazell was shifted to third. After North CaroUna's nine-run outburst in the fourth inning of the second game (the four-error inning), Petos key called for a huddle of all the players in the dugout and the team then seemed to settle down again. But it was too late as far as that game was concerned. Petoskey said that Brazeli "didn't look bad at third," and indicated that Wohrman would remain at first for the remainder of the season and probably be there next year, too. Wohrman's hitting perked up a little against North Carolina with a pair of timely singles and a couple of long fly balls to left field that were caught. Both would probably have cleared the fence here, in Petoskey's opinion. Jimmy Shea also hit the ball well, as he made his debut in the out field, and Ed Rast hit a long drive that was caught. - Petoskey was quite pleased with the overall hitting in the North Carolina series, but pitching and defense, the combination that provided for the team's early success, were both sadly disappointing. In a four-game series beginning tomorrow with Parris 6and, Petoskey plans to get a good look at -his aftend e pitching strength. The bulk of the pitching thus far has been handled by Gene Molnar and Heyward Tunstall, but Johnny Cooley has been chosen to start tomorrow's game and Billy Frier son, a pint-sized lefty, will open Saturday. Molnar and probably Howard Tunstall will start the games scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. Cooley hurled a five-hit shutout against Wofford in the first of his two starts, but was knocked out of the box in the third inning against Duke in his only other appearance. Frierson has shown up well in two relief efforts and Howard Tunstall has been victimized by poor support in his early outings. Heyward Tunstali complained of a sore arm early this week, but Petoskey thinks a little rest will fix it up fine. To fill the hole left in centerfield by Spotta' injury, Petoskey plans to alternate Jim Jarrett and Buddy Lee there. Jarrett will face righthanders and Lee will go against southpaws. The two platoon will also be used In rightfield with Blackle Kincaid against righties and Jimmy Shea against lefthanders. Ed Rast has become the top utility man. He has seen action in the outfield and at first, and Petoskey has said that he plans to use him behind the plate in at least one game against Parris Island, probably tomorrow or Saturday. Jimmy Cox is still the number one catcher, however. The second base combination of shortstop Tom HBf ferth and'second sacker Frank Eflerbe continues to loek ljke one of the best in the conference. Elierbe was batting 9W2.3 and Hofferth .300 going into the Clemson game and seven double plays had been started by one or the ether. That was in eight games. Mike Caskey, who fields a fly ball like he's catching a punt, now has left field all to himself. Caskey has been hit ting the ball well and, despite derogatory remarks about his fly-chasing ability, has a fielding average of 1.000. The Gamecocks travel to N. C. State after the series with Paris Island and return home for two games with thme Georgia Bulldogs, April 27 and 28. Caught on the Hook . ..

C. State The Carouna track team will attempt to get another winning streak started when they travel to N. C. State Saturday for a duial meet with the Wolfpack. Last Saturday the Gmecocks had a 10-meet winning streak broken by North Carolina's Tar Heels, 72 2/8-58 1/8. North Carolina supererity in the field events overcame a slight Gamecock edge In the running events in that meet. - The Gamesock mile relay team lost its first dual meet of the yfar, but not until sanchor mn Seny Wileher came within two fet e overeoming a 15-yard deGelt on the last la. Had tha ammeka won the relay, the final smore would have shown only fleur points difference between the two teams. North Carolina's Boyd Newman defeated Freddy Ro6erts in the half mie and Gar MAride in the mile, the first defeat for bath this year in a dual meet. Tommy Woodlee was the only Gamsco"k to take two first places, winning the 100-yard dash in U. and taking the 220 in 22.2. Top men for Carolina in this Saturday's meet will be Woodlee and Bobby Drawdy in the 100 and 220, Wilcher and Leon Cunning ham in the 440, Roberts in the 880, McBride in the mile and two-mile, Don Whetstone and Roddy Robbins in the hurdles, Gene Berry and Drawdy in the javelin, Joe Silas in the shot put and discus, Berry in the broad jump, Jack Martin in the high jump, Gone Brown in the pole vault, and the mile relay tearn of Wileher, Roberts, Cunningham and either Drawdy, Woedlee or Whetstone.
