A GREAT GAME,
Clemson Defeats Newbery In an Exciting
Contest by Score Of Six
to Five.

and Newberry on the college diamond
Wednesday afternoon was fitting
close to a season full Of fine exhibitions
of the national game. The home team
was up against the strongest college
team in the South, and though they
were defeated it was by very narrow
margin, and the Newberry boys are
justly proud of their work at every
point in the game. From start to finish
the contest was close and exciting, and
not until the end Of the game, when
the score stood six to five in favor of
the visitors, could the result be pre-
dcted with the least degree of certainty
Simpson was in the box for New
berry. He had plenty of steam and
curves to spare, and pitched good ball,
allowing eight hits and striking out
five men. Dendy, who tossed the
sphere for the visitors, was in fine
shape, with his slow ball allowing only
one hit and striking five Cabaniss
behind the bat for Newberry and Max
we'll for Clemson held everything within
their reach. In fact, almost without
exception every man on both sides did
his full share.
For the first five and half innings
there was no score on either side and
for the most part it was three men up
and three men down. In the third
inning Sitton, who on many 4 field has
made Il great reputation for hard bat
ting went down before Simpson S speedy
curves, three times madly beating the
air. In the fourth Clemson was pre-
vented from scoring only by Colcman's
beautiful throw from left field, cutting
OIL man at home, making one of the
prettlest and closest plays seen on the
diamond this year.
In the sixth inning Clemson piled up
three to her credit. Dendy took first
on an error by Roesel, and Chisolm went
to first on a hit advancing Dendy to
second. With two men on bases, Weir
connected with the sphere and sent it
rolling towards first. Harms left his
bag and chased the ball. Captain
Wlles, going towards first to receive
the ball from Harms, failed to manage
his feet and while he was plowing up
the earth Dendy scored and Chisolm adj
vanced on third. Chisolm scored on
CaldwclPs bunt. Goggans, next, sent
little fly to Fulmcr on third Fulmer's
machinery failed to work and for the
third time in one short inning a Glenn
son man crossed the plate.
In the seventh Newberry pushed a
man across the plate and broke her
chain Of zeros also. Simpson took first
on an error, and Fulmcr for Simpson
stole second and third and scored on
Clemson's connection and tumble bv
Coleman's third.
In the eighth three men wearing the
scarlet and silver gray reached the
goal and the side lines and the grand
stand went wild. Harms, Riser and
Cabanlss were on bases. Fulmer hit
to short. Goggans threw home beau
tifully, but the catcher failed to hold
the ball and the three men on bases
scored in order mentioned
Clemson followed with three more
scores, two men coming home on a two
base hit by Sitton.
In the ninth Newberry was able to
score only one man, Coleman chasing
home from third on Dendy's wild pitch.
Clemson declined to take her part of
the ninth, and the prettiest and closest
game on the Newberry diamond this
season ended with score of six to five.
