Erskine Loses to Newberry in Hot
| ly Contested Game.
Written for The Herald & News.


The bail game here on last
Friday wax hotly contested. The
Hrsl1ine team Fought ibravely and
went down with colors flying against
a score of TO 2.
This game has long been looked for
and was anticipated as the best Of
tie season. Mr.. ,Jno. M. KinaId and
Mr.. G. j. Purcell were among those
present.
The at the end of the first inning
was n. I, +. 0; second N. l, e. o.:
third n. 4. f. 2; ofurth N. 4, F.. 2;
fifth n. ). +. 2; sixth, N. 6, f.. 2;
seventh, n. 6, f. 2; eighth, n. 6, e. 2;
@inth, N. 8, f. 2.
The umpire was imported by the
Erskines and no one kicked.
The first pitcher of the Is was
long and slim. The second was the
same in the first respect but was
broad shouldcred. Hc was nicknamcd
cred Top' by the spectators and the
the writer will leave the readers to
decide as to the reason. The first
catcher of the f. 5 was slim and dark
haired but soon threw up the job
in disgust. The man that succeeded
him was his opposite, being fat and
light haired. Once when he was hit
il sounded as if the ball had struck
a pillow. Tt seems that that was in
tended for a football player. The
Erskines had a good team but the
Newberry boys were better. No one
would be surprised if the Newberry
team won the championship this
year. She has better team than
she has had for several years.
There were no accidents bWt Tench
Boozer was hit on the head by ball
and had to lie down to recovery. The
ball bounced off his head and hit
the Erskine short stop in the mouth.
Tho N. catcher Harvey cabaniss did
some very pretty playing. Both
sides had good ficlders and it was
pretty hard to get to first. There
were only one CT two men who knock
ed two base hits. ....2...

played in truo championship form this
afternoon and defeated tho strong
Erskme college team in smappy
game of baseball by score Of 8 to 2.
Though tho game appears one-sid-
cd from tho score, yet there was nev-
or a dull moment during tho entire
contest, both teams playing hard and
consistent ball NIL the time. Crouch
was IN his usual good form alrd his
performance today and on other oc-
cmsions tlris year shows that he is
ono of the best college slabmen in
eclloge baseball today. This after
rnon he allowed only three hits, while
Ii mcn hit the dust at the plato.
In the three games so far pitched
'hc has struck out 10 men and allow
ed seven hits and only three runs have
hccn secured off his delivery.
Cabaniss behind the bat akNd Wes-
lager in centre and other Newberry
players played good ball and deserve
special mention, especially Wessin-
%cr's hitting, securing three singles,
scoring" man each time.
For Er<laine the fielding was Sill
pcrb 1T critical momcnts. and Grier
at shrrt is one Of The fastest ever seen

Do not eat with your knife when you

gracefully when you have guests. Do
not have one set of manners for home
use and try to show of with another
set when you go for visit. Do not be
selfish and grasping and expect your

politeness to show itself spontaneously

Why should not a man take off his

ashamed to meet the wife of the sa-
loon keeper at the corner without a

there is something radically wrong

should not a woman speak as cou:te-

she swore to love and honor. as 10 the
