Presbyterians Meet Citadel In Char leston For Opening Baseball Game of Season. With only a few days more of prac tice . before the Presbyterian Blue Stockings take the field in the opening game with the Bulldogs of the Citadel in Charleston, Coach Walter Johnson is bringing his men into regular stride in a hurry. There are many old faces back on the squad, and Johnson will have a more or less veteran representation when the umps call “play ball.” De spite the loss of the-great catcher, Captain Roy Moore, of last season, Tom Bailey has shown tip as a very promising successor. He will prob ably start behind the plate. Moore’s stick work, which featured the team’s play a year ago, will be harder to re place. In the pitcher’s Box will be Hannah, pitching his last year for the Blue Stockings. He set a dizzy pace last year, hurling great games against Trinity, Wofford, and Davidson, and will be the big defensive cog this spring, . The crack .left-hander should be able to turn in a good many wins. On first will be seen Joe Martin, lanky cohort of football and basket- ba’l fame, who will strive to be the equal of the brilliant Miller. If Mar tin can register the hitting power of the old football captain, he will be a strong addition to the squad’s .offen sive strength. Captain “Duck” Holladay, who thrilled spectators last year when he speared sizzling drives in the game against the southern champs from | Duke, will once more cover third. • “Duck” is really a wizard on the de fense—gets the balls and has no hesi tation, and tosses them t« first with speed and accuracy. Besides this, he is a very capable hitter, and should garner an excellent figure on the per centage lists. For second and short, three meri"are looming up as strong players. Jet; Moore, who played sensational ball as j shortstop for last Spring’s nine; War-: ner second base, and J. M. Moore,: I outstanding defensive star of the for- 1 mer first-year team, will make the competition for these positions hot. i Warner is an ace with the club, get- w 'ting one of the highest averages of previous years. A number of prospects are showing excellent form in the outer gardens, where three letter men in Hupter, Garvin, and Gousar are exhibiting the stuff that won them fame last year. It will be remembered that in one of the exhibition games with Wofford last year in Laurens, the brilliant pitching of Hannah plus the marvel ous fielding play of Cousar won for the Presbyterians. Cousar stumbled in going after a long fly, and took the chance as he lay on tRe ground in a game when he collected six put- outs. Ralph Walker is Hannah’s mate in the box, and with these two pitchers and several other' aspirants, Co^ch will have to win his games. Pitching strength and batting are sorely need ed, and it is hoped that the deficiency in these departments may be correct ed before the season is over. Following is the schedule: April 4—Citadel at Charleston. April 6—College of Charleston at Charleston. April 7—Carolina at Columbia. April 16—Furman at Greenville. April 17—Clemson at Clemson.
