BREAK EVEN IN SERIES
WOfford Takes First Game, But New
berry Gets Revenge in Second.
Clemson Friday and Sat-
urday.

1
took the first game to 2, while the
Lutherans easily took the second I
to l. The first game was played while
a strong wind was blowing, and this,
coupled with playing on foreign
ground naturally offset the playing
of Newberry to a great extent.
In the first game Wofford scored
four in the fifth on a free pass to
Nichels, followed by felder's choice
and singles by Stackhouse, Edens and
Black. In the sixth they annexed two
more on errors and a ielder's choice.
Newberry started rally in the ninth
when Perrit singled; Epting batted
for Edison and famed; Shealy reach
ed first on Eden's error and stole Sec
ond; Becker then slammed two
sacker to right scoring Perrit and
Shealy; Boozer reached first on Mich
els error, but Smeltzer and Floyd
failed to connect with Stackhouse's
delivery, and the game went to Wof-
ford by the above mentioned score.
In the first inning Floyd made
great running catch of a line drive by
Black. Eden played star game at
second for Wofford; Becker's timely
double saved the Scarlet and Gray
from shut-out. The inability Of
Newberry to hit at opportune times
was the direct cause of the defeat.
On Friday afternoon the Woferd
team was clearly outclassed by the
Newberrians, and at no stage OF the
game did the Methodists appear dan.
gerous. Frey started the game foc
Wofford, but was hit hard at all times,
and was removed in favor of StillweH
in the fifth. Epting was on the slab
for Newberry, and pitched a beautiful
game, only three hits were REGISTER
ed off of him, and only one batsman
was hit. 'Nigger" failed to give a
single man a free pass to first and
he had wonderful control of the ball
during the entire game.
iWofford scored its lone tally in the
sixth when, with one man down,
Edens tripled to centre, and scored
when Shealy dropped Smeltzer's
throw of Hamilton's grounder. With
the exception of Edens, but one man
reached second base for Wofford dur
ing the entire game.
Newberry started hitting Frey in
the second, when Wise singled clear
ly through second, Keitt sacrificed
and Perritt singled. Epting scored
Wise on a two-timer to left and Per-
ritt crossed the rubber when Shealy
drove hot one to centre for one base.
Four more were added in the fifth.
Shealy met one of Frey's benders for
a two-sacker, and advanced to third
on Becker's out, second to first and
Boozer was safe on first when Frey
errorred. Smeltzer beat out an infield
hit and with the bases full Floyd
singled to centre, scoring Shealy and
Boozer. Smeltzer scored when Steele
failed to field Wise's grounder, then
Floyd scored when Keitt hit safe to
left. Stillwell now went in the box
and only one more run was made, this
came in the seventh when Boozer
scored, after having hit safely, on
Wise's three base hit to right.
In the fifth inning a lightning-like
double play was pulled off by Becker,
Boozer and Keitt. Sims had singled
and Nickels had flied out to Perritt,
wter Glenn drove hot one at Beck
er, who felded it clean, tossed it to
Boozer, who in turn threw to Keitt,
getting Glenn by at least fifteen feet.
