Del McAlister made one of the most sensational catches seen at Hampton Park in some time. . There was a man on first in the second when Holliday sent a drive to right-center that seemed good for three bases. No one had any idea of anything but the ground stopping it but McAlister, racing at full speed made a wonderful one-hand catch and was unable to stop or he could have doubled the runner at first. It was a beautiful piece of work. Tatum made a nice catch in the 'third and Woods’ feat v has already been com mented on. Couser robbed Holliday, who, by the way, caught a mighty good game, 'of a long hit in the seventh. Lewis fanned five men and Steh- meyer six. Stehmeyer was a trifle wild and walked four, while Lewis had perfect control. “Sheep” O’Neale and Jenkins handled the game nicely.

CLINTON, & C., THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1924 NUMBER 16 =s= m THE CITADEL Etehmeyer and Lewis In Great Duel. A Brilliant Game Throughout. (Sunday’s News and Courier) Despite the mud, and inclement Weather the Presbyterian College won a brillianot baseball battle from the Citadel yesterday afternoon at Hamp ton Park 3 to 1. It was a struggle throughout and the result was never assured until the last Citadel man had been retired with the bases packed at the time. Lewis and “Dopey” Stehmeyer en gaged in a hurling duel that' was all the more remarkable for its bril liancy and effectiveness on a muddy Id and in cold weather. The visit- had slightly the better of the argu- ent mainly because Stehmeyer had a opening, inning and then Lewis llled himself out of some awfully sp holes. As a matter of fact, ehmeyer did the same thing and oughout it was a contest of two .»d pitchers and fielding stunts of 'scintillating nature abounded, be ing contributed by players on both sides of the opposition. Three runs in the first inning were shoved across by Walter Johnson’s proteges and it was a master stroke for it was the only frame in which they were able to get a man over. The Citadel rushed over its tally in the fifth but it had several splendid opportunities to break up the contest. In each instance the hitter was lack ing and this was due in part to splendid pitchipg by Lewis. Stehmeyer was wild at first and on four pitched balls he sent Hol liday to first. Hunter placed one in right that Tatum barely touched, E is judging the ball and then both Lvanced on a passed ball, Holliday and Stehmeyer evidently getting their signals crossed. Warner slapped a single to center and both runners counted, "he taking second on the throw to-the plate which ought to have retired Hunter. R. Moore hit the top of the right field fence with a liner that scored Warner. Fast fielding by Tatum held him at first. Lewis sent a fly to McAlister and “Hefty” Norton forced R. Moore at second. Norton really got a safe hit but Johnnie Woods did some fast traveling and threw to second in time to nab Moore. It was one of the fielding features of the afternoon. Miller "sent a fly to Tatum to end the inning.* Lewis was in rare form and it was the fifth inning before a Citadel man reached first base. Holliday sent a grounder to his name-sake who threw to first but Miller dropped the throw. Stehmeyer, who was the hitting king of the afternoon—with three singles, got a safety over second. Drummond, was hit and the bases were loaded. Wilson hit to Holliday at the plate. Berry batted for Benson and Pike drove a scorching liner through the box. It hit Lewis, then Umpire O’Neale and finally J. Moore got it in time to get Berry at first, Steh meyer scoring on the play. It was a, terrific drive. Rustin fanned to end the rally. Tatum and Stehmeyer were the only Ctadel players to get safeties., Ta tum beat out an infield hit in the eighth and reached second when War ner overthrew first. There were two down and Johnnie Woods sent up a •Th th e Cadets made a desperate rally tke ninth and but for Lewis’ great >rk would probably have tied up e score. McAlister was thrown out Warner but Lewis fumbled Holli- y’s grounder. Stehmeyer got his ird hit and Drummond was hit, fill- t |he bases. Wilson swung hard t the ball struck in front of the ite for a force out. Beiry fanned d the game was over. Several times the Presbyterians reatened but brilliant support and ain good pitching by Stehmeyer nt them back scoreless. In the urth, Norton led off with a hit and ached second on a passed ball. Mil- r fanned but J. Moore drew a pass, ehmeyer tightened up and fanned mser and then threw out Holliday. On a par with the hurling was the nsational fielding by both teams, ds was remarkable when the condi- m of the grounds is taken into nsideration. Both infields were rht, the fielding was cleans and the rowing true. Every man did his tit remarkably well and especial uition should be made of the work HoHiSey at third, and Warner at ect, for the visitors. Rustin didj TWO PROFESSORS LEAVE CHICORA Lackey and Reinhardt Asked To Re sign Because of Religious Opinions. Columbia, April 13.—Because of their religious opinions Guy A. Lack ey, professor of education and philo- sophy, and James M. Reinhardt, pro fessor of history and social sciences,, both of’ Chicora college of Columbia, will sever their connection with the institution at the end of the present contractural year, according to in formation received by The State last night. The resignations of the two faculty members, it was learned, have been requested bjr the college authorities, tendered by Messrs. Lackey and Rein hardt and accepted by the college, an institution of the Southern Presby terian church. Dr. S. C. Byrd, president of Chico ra college, last night declined to make any statement either confirming or denying the fact of the two profes sors’ resignation. “There are a great many explana tions that should be made,” Dr. Byrd said, “and at the present time I do not think that the matter is ready for publication. I think that the newspapers should consider the col lege’s interest before making a defin ite statement. “I do not wish to make any public statement. When we are ready to give out a statement I shall be glad to do so.” The two professors in answer to the direct question last night con firmed the information, though neith er would enter into any discussion of the facts leading up to or the causes of their virtual dismissal. “It is true as you have learned,” they said, “that we have tendered our resignations by request and that they have been accepted. As to the causes of our leaving the college we have no statement now to make. Academic courtesy, we think, de mands under the existing circum stances that such a statement should come from the college, aot us.” Neither professor had any an nouncement to make as to his plans for the future. Professor Lackey, who is rounding out his third year as head of th# de partment of education and philosophy at Chicora, has recently taken the Held in ths columns of The State to defense of “evolution” or the theofy of descent, questioned by Dr. W. M. McPheeters, professor of Old Testa ment literature and exegesis at the Presbyterian seminary of Columbia, while both he and Professor Rein hardt have discussed the theory of descent, it is understood, in their classes at the college. In Professor Lackey’s classes in philosophy the theory has been considered practical ly in identical form each of his three years at Chicora. This is Professor Reinhardt’s first year at the institu tion. Both professors are southerners and the descendants of Confederate soldiers, Professor Lackey being a native of Tennessee and Professor Reinhardt of Georgia. Professor Lackey is an A. B. grad uate of the University of Oklahoma and was a student in graduate scien tific classes at the University of Chicago. He came to Chicora in September, 1921, from Ramona, Okla homa, where he had been serving as superintendent of public schools, hav ing had seven years’ experience in the public schools of Oklahoma. Professor Reinhardt is an A. B. and Ph. B. graduate of Berea col lege, Berea, Ky., having come to Chicora at the beginning of the pres ent scholastic year. He is a former newspaper man and before coming tq Columbia was the editor of the Berea Citizen. Chief Beavers Ousted From Police Force Atlanta, April 13.—Chief of Police James L. Beavers, the storm center of municipal politics here for a de cade, was found guilty by the police commission early today of neglect of duty and swearing falsely, and summarily was removed from office. He was not found guilty of a third count, which charged him with aid ing in procuring evidence for a di vorce case in connection with the ar rest of Mrs. Asa G. Candler, wife of the millionaire soft drink manufac turer, here last February. The committee, governing board of the police department, which filed the charges, and before which Beav ers was tried, reached a verdict short ly after 3 o’clock this morning. The chief announced through his counsel that he would seek a writ of cere- tiorari in supreme court today, re instating him to office until his case can be tried by the court. He was specifically accused of failing to make periodical inspections of beats, as re quired by law, and swearing falsely to a pauper’s oath to evade court costs, in former ouster proceedings against him. Pending the^selection of Beaver’s successor, the committee named E. L. Jett, night chief, as acting head | of the department.
