Dunn and Shealy got to third. Caba-
miss came 20 the bat anu did some
fine mead work. The whole infleld
was watching him for a grounder,
but he sent a long fly far out into
center Richardson got it. but he
was too far from headquarters and
before he cou:d send the bali home,
Shealy scored. Olney drove the ball
10 second and was thrown out. Fur
man came up and Scarborough sent
a g-ounder to Owen and was thrown
out. Then Simpson got in his work
in hurry, retiring Mattison and
Henderson, one, two, three.
For the sixth time Newberry lined
Up. Holloway sent hot one to Rice,
hut it was not hot enough. Simpson
made safe hit to right field; Crouch
sent another safe one after Simp~
sons. Here was Newberry's chance,
and Boozer accepted it, sacrificing
himself while Simpson made third
and Crouch went down to second,
but disappointment came when lay
lor had the misfortune to strike out
again. Furrnan came to the line, and
Campbell made a great hit. and many
who saw it involuntarily exclaimed
That's a hit" but Taylor made a
catch greater than the hit. atonlng
:.,r his failure to connect with the
lall a moment before. Dunn sent
Holloway an easy one and was
thrown out. Rice struck out, two
beauties being called on him. Simp-
son fooled him.
In the seventh inning Shealy struck
out: Owen was thrown out by Camp
bell; Cabaniss hit safe to centre, and
with the first ball pitched to Olney
stole his second, but Olney failed to
touch the ball. Furman came tip
again showing their anxiety and
tried hard, but failed. Swink sent the
ball where Shealey wanted it; Lam
ford drove his to Boozer, an unsafe
place for him for Shealy soon had it;
Richardson tried the outheld but
Crouch was waiting for him and
coolly spoiled his hopes.
In the eighth, Lanford made
bad break when he gave Holloway his
bases on balls; for Simpson made
bunt sacrifice and let Holloway get
to second. Crouch sent a fly up in
the air to Campbell who gave him u
glad welcome Holloway did what
seemed to be impossible, stealing
third in great shape. Hope Of in
creasing the score was now centred in
Boozer, who sent the ball to the
short stop. and accomplished the
great feat of beating the sphere to
first. winning loud applause by his
magnificent sprinting. Fortunately,
too Rice took his foot off the base,
otherwise the decision would have
been so close that few would have
blamed the Furmanites for kick.
While they were fooling with Boozer
at first Holloway came home in Il
hurry. Boozer stole second. and
Tavlor missed the ball. When Fur
man came Up again Scarborough
struck out, Mattison gave Cabaniss
wha. he likes foul fly and Hender-
son followed Scarborough's exam
pie.
In the ninth inning Ncwberry went
down quickly. Shealy to first. Owen
to first and Cabaniss had the strange
experience of striking out.
Furman is up for the last time. The
case is desperate. not only to lose
the championship but to be shut out.
But they came to the scratch without
whimper. Campbell gave Cabaniss
a fly; Dunn sent fly to Owen, who
had already more than his share. but
was taking in all that came his way.
Two down and only one more chance,
it is little wonder that the next bat
ter was anxious to save his team
from the threatened disaster. but no
zeal can exc1se his tactics He hit
