NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. GAMES.
Lutherans and Tigers Break Even in
Two Snappy Contests at College
Park.


most interesting games Of ball ever
seen at college park. The first game
was a pitchers battle, in the truest
sense of the word, between Ezell, OF
Clemson, and Epting, of NeWberry,
with Epting having a little the better
of the argument Epting pitched great
ball for the NeWberrians, allowing but
seven scattered hits and one base on
balls, and deserved to win his game,
which was lost on errors by the score
of 4 to 3.
Clemson scored twice in the third,
when Ezell singled to right after
Thomas had been retired, short to first.
Schroeder famed, but reached first
when Shealy dropped the ball. Coles
bunted and Ezell and Schroeder both
counted after Shealy let Epting's
throw get away from him. The Tigers
annexed another pair in the fourth.
Martin hit one to Epting which took
a bad bounce and hit "Nigger" on the
nose; Yeargin hit safe and both Mar
tin and Yeargin crossed the rubber
when ShealyIs finger was split by Per-
rittIs perfect peg to the plate of Heirs
bingle to right. Shealy was then re-
placed by lIayes, who caught a pretty
game.
Newberry's first score came in the
third. Epting went out on a grounder
to first. Shealy raped a one-timer to
right and went to second on Martins
error. Becker followed with clean
one to right and Boozer was given a
pass to first by Ezell. Smeltzer Whit
fed, but Floyd scored Shealy on a well
placed SINCE through short. Wise flied
out to right. Two more crossed the
coveted spot in the sixth; Wise was
out, short to first; Keitt was hit and
Perritt hit high one to right, which
Martin captured Epting walked and
Mayes was hit, thus filing the bases.
Things began to brighten up when
Ezell did the gentleman act" walking
Becker and forcing in run. Boozer
proved himself to be the right man in
the right place by cracking out safe
one, scoring Epting, but Smeltzer was
again unable to connect with Ezell.
Yeargin starred for the farmer boys,
catching a nice game and also getting
three hits out of four times up. Ept-
ing's pitching was by far the greatest
feature Of the game. Boozer played
a great game On short and also raped
out two clean hits. Becker and Per-
ritt also played good ball.
In the second game Dobson's Tigers
were out-classed by the Lutherans, and
at no time was Edison in danger. The
game started with Rivers on the
mound for Clemson, but he was re-
moved after three innings OF play, IN
favor of Martin. Both Of these pitchers
were hit hard and were very wild dur
ing the entire game. Miss" Edison
was in fine form and pitched one OF
tho greatest games OF his career, al
lowing but three scattered hits and
walking only one.
Clemson made it's only score in the
first round. Schroeder flied out to
Floyd and Coles knocked slow one
down the third base line, which Mayes
threw to the right field fence, Coles
reaching third before the throw could
be returned to the diamond. Bigham
was out, short to first and Coles scor-
ed. Rivers lined out to Becker. Not
one Of the visitors was able to reach
third after the first inning, and they
did not show any Of the speed on
bases displayed the day before.
Newberry tailed il the first when,
after Boozer had skied out to centre,
Smeltzer put one to the fence for
three7bagger and scored on Wise's
out, second to first. Two more came
home in the second. Perritt, first up,
reached first on Heirs error; Edison
famed, but Mayes was safe when
Schroeder played with the ball little
too long. Becker could not connect
with the ball, but with two on and two
down Boozer doubled to the right field
fence, and both Perritt and Mayes
romped home across the rock. New
berry's last score came in the seventh.
Boozer reached first on Schroeder's
tumble and was promptly sacrificed
to second by Smeltzer. Floyd was hit
and Wise popped out to Coles. Boozer
