play SO O1 luS Co1lSS0 NAe@1A1A~ l. WV
day afternoon between Columbia and
Newberry, Columbia winning by &
score of 4 to 2. It was good game
and the college boys showed fine form.
The Newberry team left yesterday
for Charleston, where they will play
the College of Charleston this after
noon and the Citadel tomorrow.
The following is an account OF the
same taken from the Columbia State
of the 18th:
Although a biting wind swept the
field and other weather conditions
made the afternoon very chilly one,
there was no chance for the Commls-
sioners to suffer on that account.
They had every opportunity to be-
come overheated beating Bill John
sons Newberry college team. Al
though on being interviewed tonight
Manager Cavender, Capt Kunkel,
George Radcliffe and all the other
players deny that they Wer the least
bit frightened at the prospect it Is
rumored they all had their fingers
crossed.
The Columbia fellows won the bat,
tie 4 to 2, but the game was in doubt
throughout. For three whole innings
Johnson's team was in the lead and
not until the eighth inning did the
Commissioners break the tie and store
the game away.
Some Good Baseball.
The game was very Interesting
contest and the 500 loyal fans that
braved the contrary weather saw some
good baseball. True they also saw
some bad baseball, but the weight OF
evidence is in favor of the better va
Fiety.
The fielding of the collegians was
excellent. Not whit dismayed by
their first appearance against profess
sionals they did remarkably good de-
fensive work. The fielding feature of
the day was catch in deep left field
ACCOMPLISHED by Wise in the eighth
inning zhen he robbed Fulenwider OF
a sure triple, Bozer at shortstop also
did good work. Two nice throws by
Duncan, both in the first inning, must
be- commended.
In Edison the Lutherans have a
prize college finger. This long, rangy
fellow has a curve bal in his roper
toire that is perplexing proposition.
He struck out five Of the Columbia
gang, no slight undertaking, and was
exceedingly calm and collected
throughout.
The Columbia pitchers worked with
much caution. t'Fie" Fulenwider, who
started the game, was troubled by the
cold weather and allowed the cole
gians Some liberties with the ball.
Hill and Barry were not charitable
and nothing startling happened for
the college fellows while they pre-
sided. Hill became real vexed at some
rooters and showed up these worth
les. When the long boy assumed con-
troll of the pitching destinies some OF
the crowd professed a complete
knowledge of his ability to heave on
account of former days at Clinton and
hooted at the nerve Of Cavender in
allowing him to pitch.
Sam then grinned, tightened his
belt and struck out three Of the col
lege batters the very first inning. He
was only reached for one single, a
scatchy specimen at best. Barry also
"cut loose" with several and escaped
without a hit against him.
Newberry jumped into the lead on
the getaway, registering the first in
ming. Boozer hit the first ball Full
ennwider pitched to centre for safety
Smeltzer bunted and was safe at first
when "Fie" threw high to second
Neel struck out, but Epting hit safe
to right and Boozer scored. Duncan
threw Smeltzer out at the plate. Wise
then singled to right, but Duncan
threw Epting out when he overrar
second.
Another came in the third inning
After Adams struck out Vann threw
past Ems on Boozer's roller and the
hitter went to second. Smeltzer
.whiffed, but Neal hit safe to right.
Tied the Score.
The Commissioners tied the score ir
the fourth. Krug opened with Sin
gle and when Vann hit safe Krug
went to third and Vann to second on
