DEFEATS CAROLINA
A Spirited Game but the Lutherans
Outplayed the Carolinas.

Ncwberry, April 29.-Newberry
batted out another victory today by
defeating the strong team from Car
ollna by score of IL to 6. Fifteen
safesies, netting q total of 1S bases,
p were torn off Simpson and James
delivery. Carolina secured nine sing
les, three Of chem coming in the last
inning of an exciting. contest.
Ruff had the Garnet and Black at
his mercy except for three innings. OF
the nine hits charged against MIN,
only 4 went to the outfield, while the
others were infield sharp cuts which
a good sticking glove might have nab
bed. Besides pitching good game, the
Newberry twirler got on base every
time he came up. Two Of these were
two-base hits and another single.
His batting figured largely in the rum
getting.
Simpson was selected to toss for the
Little Gamccocls, but after the Lu-
thcran smggers had scored seven
runs off his delivery, James was sent
III to relieve him, while Simpson re-
placed Cartwright in left. The change
OF chuckcrs nctted the Garnet and
Black no results, as the first man up
placed a two-baegcr to left and The
bombardment never stopped.
In fielding, Carolina Jared better
than did the scarlet and silver gray
boys. -Four errors are charged against
them, but they did not figure to any
extent in the rungetting. On the 9TH
er hand, Newberry errored at critical
times when steady ball playing would
have kept down runs.
But, all in all, the Lutheran lads
outclassed the visitors. They hit the
ball almost at will, while their base
running was a big feature. Fisher,
who played Il star game with the
stick, stole four bases, taking advan-
ta"e Of every chance offered, while
Wcssinger got away with two.
In individual playing, the box score
about tells the tale, the hit column
containing most Of the features. Bel
ser played a steady game behind the
bat and got difficult foul. His hit
ting was a feature. Gibbes at first
was in his old time form, while the
rest Of the inleld worked lust as
we'll. The outlield never had any diff
cult chances, most Of their work be-
ing that of chasing line drives. Booz-
er played a steady game for the team
he manages, while w. Ruff caught his
twin brother as if he had been doing
it from the cradle. Scurry pulled
down Il long drive in left and Der
rick got couple Of nice ones, though
the hard hitting outfielder never Sc
cured bingle during the merry saw
fest.
The game was pretty good to look
at. 1t was a true, true college game
jammed full of hits and well season.
ed with errors. There was a big
crowd out to see the contest and the
game was we'll enjoyed.
Carolina S losing the contest, puts
a little different phase on the cham
pionship race. The State university
team still leads in the race, but to-
morrow she goes up against Clinton,
which is a hard proposition. IF she
loses the game, she may lose The cham
pionShip. On the other hand, New
berry got better look-in al the State
championship by batting out a vic
tory. AT the first of the season the
team was very weak, but lately tic
article Of ball put up by the Luther
ans has been the real goods. In the
last four games played, the Ncwbcrry
boys have batted out an average Of
dozen hits, which is surely swatting
some. If The team keeps up this
stride. it will surely win the rag. But
all its hard road games are yet to be
played.
The race is getting to be very en-
citing and a game lost or a game won
means much for either team right
now.
The box scores tells it's own tale:
Newberry.
