CARLISLE VS.. PORTER.
Methodists Win Monday and Lose
Tuesday in Charleston.


Charleston, April 24.-With Lu-
ther pitching mastery ball the Por-
ter cadets were outclassed and lost
to Carlisle school by the score of I
to 0, at Hampton Park yesterday af-
ternoon. The result of the game was
never in doubt.
Luther, the Bamberg boys star
HEAVIER, was elected to do mound duty
and exceptionally we'll did he per-
form his task. During the nine inn
ings he allowed but two hits. both
clean ones, and famed sixteen cadets.
His pitching was easily the feature
of the afternoon performance and he
deserves lots of credit for the splen-
did record achieved. Luther is q big
fellow and has worlds of speed and
his curves are good His mates back
ed him up with errorless support and
never was the big fellow in the least
bit of danger.
Both hits allowed by Luther were
clean singles. Ross getting one to
right field in the fifth inning that
Parnell slid for but the only result
of the tall ones effort to stop the
sphere was a mouthful of Hampton
Park clay. In the ninth inning Skin
ner raped a clean one over second.
Luther walked five. Four times the
cadets got runners as far as second,
but not a man got as far as third.
Carlisle has a big and well-balanced
nine that possesses fielding ability,
hits hard and has a splendid pitching
staff.
The game was late in starting and
on account of Robertson not being
warmed up Wagner pitched the first
inning. One run was scored off of
him, but not through any fault of his
own. 1t was due entirely to errors.
Robertson took up the burden after
the opening inning and pitched a
creditable game. He was given rot
ten support and as the cadets were
unable to hit Luther, he had little
encouragement. Robertson is
youngster who has lots of stuff but
lacks confidence in himself. Heath
played a bang-up game for Porter be-
hind the bat.

Charleston, April 25.-Parnell un-
corked two wild pitches almost in
succession in the ninth inning yes
terday and presented the game be-
tween Porter Military academy and
the Carlisle school to the cadets on
q silver platter. The tall ones kind
ness was appreciated and allowed the
Porterites to get an even break on
the two-game series, Carlisle having
won Monday afternoon, I to 0.
It was one of the most exciting
finishes that has probably ever been
staged at Hampton Park and the
handful of fans present roareo
enough for treble the number when
the "big break" came. With the
score three to two against them, the
cadets captured the contest with two
intield hits, sacrifice and couple
Of wild pitches by Parnell. Parnell
almost won his own contest when ne
singled in the eighth, scoring Hougn
for Carlisles third run, but he pro-
ceeded to give it away in the ninth.
The hurler had no one to blame put
himself for the loss.
Porter scored two runs at the
start. R. Carroll worked Parnell for
q mass and Goodman sacrificed him to
second. Preston also got free ride
to first and both runners advanced a
base as Parnell threw Skinner out at
first Heath hit to short and K. Car
roll scored when Hough dropped the
throw. w. Carroll singled to lett ana
Preston registered. Ross famed.
There was no further scoring Dy
either side until the seventh, when
Carlisle began to get busy. Luther
was safe on Dulls error. n. DuBose
popped out to Goodman, but harvey
forced Luther at second. Lemon S
double to right, which got away from
Ross, allowed Harvey to score. IN
the eighth it seemed that the visitors
won the game with a pair of tailles'
McElveen singled to short and went
TO second when R. Carroll peggeo
wild to first. Hough scored him with
a screaming double to centre. Hough
took third on Fits out, Skinner to
Goodman, and scored when Parneil
