The Championship Settled and Fur

dom saw a finer game than that play
ed at the college park Oh Tuesday
afternoon between Newberry and
Furman. Heavy rain clouds hanging
round kept many away, but the
crowd was enormous notwlth:tand-
ing. The grand stand was filled with
ladies and girls, while many had to
stand. Hundreds of men crowded
as close as they could get to the lines
Of course all were anxious tc see
Newberry win, and win they did with
honor to themselves, the college and
the town. To those who know the
reputation of the team at home and
abroad it is not necessary to say that
thew played clean ball from start to
finish, and the same thing can be said
of Furman's team. with the ex-
ception of the unfortunate lapse OF
one of it's players in the last inning.
Cabaniss and Simpson were at
their best, thoroughly understood
each other, in every movement
showed their confidence, and played
great ball. The whole team gave
them perfect support and played
without an error. So perfect was
Newbcrry's playing that turman got
onlv three men safe to first. Two OF
them died there without having a
chance to try for second, the other
tried ior second but was caught
The story OF the game will be best
told in detail Newberry came to the
bat in the first inning, Cabaniss lead
ing off with a hit to first base. Rice
helded it finely, and though the de-
cision was very close, the runner was
clearly ous. Olney struck out, Hol-
lowav knocked the ball to Rice, who
was waiting for it and the runner
failed to reach first.
For Furman Campbell led Oft with
flv to Owen. who gathered Kim ill.,,
Dunn grounded to Holloway and
was thrown Out Rice tried Owen
with a fly to see if he could do the
SAME hing twice in one inning and
found that he could.
In the second inning Simpson
drove the bail TO Lanford and was
thrown out at first: Crouch made a
clean hit over the head OF Du1n, who
made A desperate effort to reach it
but failed: Boozer made hit for one
bag, but Scarborough threw the ball
to the pitcher instead of to second
| and Boozer and Crouch watching the
ball each moved up; Taylor struck
out: Shealy nit the ball to second
and was thrown out at first, leaving
| Boozer and Crouch disappointed.
Furman came up with Swink, who
Dunted the ball. Simpson sent it to
first and almost got him. but he was
safe. The crowd began to get a
little uneasy, with man at first and
no hands down, but Lanford soon re-,
lieved the tension by sending up a
foul hy. that Cabaniss got by a fine
run. Richardson struck out and
Scarborough sent Owen another fly.
In the third Owen led with fine
Ay between centre and right, and It
looked as if he had made hit. but
after passing second the ball made
an upward turn, and Richardson by
splendid sprint scooped it. .Caba-
Miss gave Dunn fly: then Lanford
fell down and gave Olney and Hollo-
way their hrstoon balls. Furman was
down in the mouth. but Simpson
consoled them by giving Henderson

who put it hot to first ahead Of the
runner. Henderson gave Taylor a
fly and as the boys were missing
nothing on this trip he appropriated
it. Campbell tried Boozer with an
other hot one. that was impossible
to field and the man made his first,
but Dunn promptly struck out.
In the fourth inning Newberry
went out in a hurry, Crouch giving
