RLETAND GRAY HARD LUCK
Erskine Gets Four Runs -Newberry
Shut Out-Erskine Two Errors,
Newberry 0-Erskine Wins.

The first game Of the season ON the
local diamond was a distinct disap-
pointment to Newberry rooters, not
only because the scarlet and gray was
shut out on it's own ground, but be-
cause the game was almost entirely
without interesting features. Meth
er team was fast, though there was
some good individual work. There
was no brilliant playing. Newberry
was simply less fortunate than Frs
kline. Crouch pitched a good game,
though he found it hard sometimes to
control the ball and was not at his
best: He gave only three Of the Sc
ceders the base on balls, but unfor
tunately two of these were in the Sec
ond inning, and in the same inning he
hit another batter, putting three on
bases. During the whole game Frs
kline made only eight hit as against
Newberry's seven; but unfortunately
for Newberry they were punched in
the fateful inning and three runs
scored, while Newberry's hits were
scattered.
By Innings.
Newberry came to the bat and Cab
aniss led off with hot one to Cashion
who put the ball to first. Owen gave
short stop the same opportunity and
he accepted it. -Boozer came up, with
two hands out and sent a::clean two
bagger into the left, reaching third
on a wild pitch; Crouch also hit the
ball but the third baseman' threF him
out at first and Boozer failed to
score.
Erskine lined up with Kirkpatrick
leading off with grounder to Owen,
who threw him out at first. Brownlee
sent a fly to Parks who failed to
reach it. Wideman gave Parks an
other chance, and he felded the ball
promptly but too late to catch
Brownlee on second. Long hit to
Owen, who stopped Brownlee's course
at third. Pressly, J. P.gave Busby a
chance to throw him out at first, side
out.
