A Pretty Game Oh the College Diamone
Tuesday Afternoon Resulting in
| Score Of S to 3.
In an interesting game of ball, char,
acterized by good, steady playing on
both sides, Newberry College defeated
Furman University here on Tuesday
| afternoon by a score of five to three.
The game was close at every point and
the score was tied in the fifth inning. In
the eighth inning, however, Simpson con.
nected with the sphere for single and
chased Olney home, and in the ninth,
Newberry added one more to her cred
it.
There was only one disappointing
feature in the game, and that was the
way the Newberry boys ambled around
the bases. There were two double
plays, both for Newberry from Rcesel
to Wiles to Harms and Newberry's
outfield was in excellent shape and did
superior work.
Three of Newberry's five runs were
took first because Furman's twirler
four times failed to see the slab, ad-
vanCed to second on Simpsons hit, to
third On an error and home on a passed
ball. Wiles laid up against the leather
sending it for an aerial flight to the
left fence and Merchant, after short
absence, returned home. Roesel
was given first as token of the ap-
probation of Furman's pitcher, while
Wiles went down OH third. Merchant
hit and Roesel added the third score.
Coleman and Harms took pity and re-
tired the side. Furman scored one: :
Rice got single, and the next man up,
Holland, in a sudden fury, swung the
willow and the sphere, hit SO hard that
it thought itself balloon, scared with
in very few inches of centre fence;
Wright connected and Rice was well
coined home. Though she tried ever
so hard, however, Furman could not
land another man and the score was
three to one in favor of the home team.
For the next three and half innings
things broke gently and neither side was
able to score. The second inning was
devoid of anything to make the side
lines howl-on both sides it was three
men up and three men down. In the
fourth Merchant beautifully handled a
hot liner to right and the fans went
wild. In this SPAN also on a grounder
to short by Clinkscales pretty double
for Newberry was made by Roesel to
Wiles to Harms. At the end of the
fifth Furman tied the score after this
wise: Though Scaife wildly beat the
air Williams was given first by glar-
ing error, and the next two men re-
peated the dose, Sublett tanning and
Laval reaching first on an error; Rice
connected and sent beautiful fly to
left; it was a hit but Coleman went
to sleep and Williams and Laval were
both brought again within the family
fold on a single; Holland, however, was
next up and never having seen W les
except in game Of foot ball sent .iy
in his direction and retired the Bap-
fists.
In the sixth, though no score was
added for either side, the fanatics were
given chance to make themselves
hoarse oy another double Roesel to
Wiles to Harms. In the seventh spasm
things pursued the even tenor of their
way. In the eighth Newberry made
the score four to three, Olney getting
home on Simpsons connection. Mer-
chant retired side while gently ambling
down towards second. In the ninth
Newberry made the score five to three,
Roesel being treated to first on an error
and chasing around on hits, and scoring
because the visiting twirler went wild
and his catcher was not as tall as a
telephone post. Merchant at this point
dreamed the distance home from third
was only ten feet and when he got to
the tenth foot woke up from the effects
of the touch of the ball in Furman
hand and retired the side. Furman
tried in vain to score but gave up the
ghost
