firing efforts Of Prof. Voigt We were
aoIe 10 put out a winning team, which
sustained but two defeats during the
entire season. One, by the College of
Charleston, who defeated us on
court great deal smaller than the
regulation size, the other by the fast
davidson team.
The following is Newberry's lineup
and record for the season just closed:
Forwards, Doscher, Capplemann, man
ager; Strauss and Becker; center,
Wolf captain; Wise, L. NJ; guards,
smeltzer, Mayes, H. M. Perritt.
Erskine 9, Newberry %; Carolina
%, Newberry 27; Davidson 29, New
berry 25; Wofford 9, Newberry "a;
Gaud High school %, Newberry SO;
Charleston college Il, NewbeTry %;
Carolina ii, Newberry 16.
J.B. Mayes has been elected captain
for the season Of 1928, and T. P.
Strauss manager.
On February 19 Mr.. J. B. Holland,
of Edgefeld, took charge Of our base
ball squad. The weather was
so bad that the annual trip
to Chareston had to be called off
on account of lack of practice. The
team, since the departure of Coach
Holland, has been in barge of Prof.
Rountree, and he has developed the
boys into a fast, aggressive, and hard
hitting squad of ball tossers.
Miss" Edison is back with US and
a better twirler has never stood upon
the slab of college park" This IS
Eidson's third year and his record is
such that every one will regret that
next season will be his last. "Nigger"
Epting is the slabman who broke into
the S. C. 1. A A. by pitching tWo-hit
game against the College of Charles
ton last year. "Nigger" is going fine
at present, and without doubt Edison
and Epting are a pair who can not be
beat.
Shelter, third baseman and cap
tain, is one of the best felders and
hardest hitters in the State. Boozer
is in a class by himself at short stop;
Becker, on second, is new man, and is
is doing nicely; Keitt is playinga a great
first base and hitting the ball hard,
and shealy is surprising every one
by the great game he is putting up be-
hind the bat The outfeld is compos-
ed of trio who are considered the
fastest in the association. "Clean Up
Wise holds down the left garden;
Floyd, of which ther is no better, in
the State, takes care of everything
that comes around centre, and right
field is we'll guarded by the fast Per-
ritt. Mayes, Crooks and Boland are
the substitutes, and E. o. F. Doscher
manages the team.
The chances for the pennant are
very bright at present The boys
are playing great ball, and
seem to have the "never die"
spirit in them, which is shown by the
fact that in two games they have saw
ed defeat by rallying and winning in
the last inning. Baseball is gaining
in popular faor every year, and it is a
pleasure to know that the Scarlet and
Gray always puts out a strong team,
and this year an especially hard hit
ting one.
The record of Newberry for thus far
this season follows:
Erskine 7, Newberry 8; Erskine Z,
Newberry 8; Citadel 4, Newberry II;
College of Charleston 5, Newberry Z;
Presbyterian college 5, Newberry IA;
Wofford 6, Newberry Q; Wofford 1,
Newberry Z; Presbyterian college 2, |
Newberry 4. Newberry has scored 81
runs to their opponents 81, and has
raped out Is safe hits to their op-
ponent's 46.
Newberry College Financial Asset.
Ordinarily we do not expect col
lege to bring financial returns; the
community expects from it moral and
educational benefits. But the man
that estimates everything in terms of
dollars and cents will find it interest
ing to figure a little on Newberry col
lege as money-getter.
Thirty-fve years ago Newberry
bought a college and the price paid
was a building and twelve acres of
