NEWBERRY'S RECORD
On THE DIAMOND

j The State
Newberry has made an enviable
record on the diamond this year. The
team has met Carolina, Clemson, Frs
kline, Wofford and the Presbyterian
! college. Games were also played with
the College of Charleston and Cataw-
ba college of North Carolina, but the
last wo games did not count in the S.
c. /. A. A. race.
Newberry has an athletic record for
1911, both at baseball and basketball
of which any college should be proud.
At baseball this year the Indians scor-
ed a total of "a runs to her opponents
81.
Although some Of the college teams
were below the average, Wofford,
Presbyterian college and Clemson had
, exceedingly strong teams AS the sea-
! son was nearing its close Newberry
and the Presbyterian college were the
surviving contenders and when the
teams met the Indians had two defeats
to their credit, while Presbyterian col
lege had a clean slate. Newberry took
tvo games from the Presbyterian co.,
! lege and finished with q percentage of
; $50.
Newberry finished the season under
several drawbacks. Fisher, the star
! centre fielder and good hitter. left be-
fore the last four games were played.
He was called to the colors Then S.
Shealy was sent to take his position
and he too v as called away from
school. Bodie, who finished the sea-
son a. third vas out of several games
on account of illness. The burden of
ritching fell to Dillman os account Of
Meyer having to be sent 70 the short
position. Such incidents kept the
team as a whole in an unorganized
! form for each game. To Coach Driver
much credit is due for the success OF
the team He took new men and de-
veloped them into first class players.
Renken, the big catcher, has made
his final appearance in a Newberry
uniform. The fans will remember him
especially for his home run with the
bases full in the Clinton game. He
was captain of the team this year and
was good example for his team
mates. To Dillman goes the ind;vid-
ual honors of defeating the Presby-
terian college twice. 1t was he more
than any one else who caused them
/ the two defeats Meyer was sent to
short when not in the box and did
we'll. Wise played his first season at
first and covered the position splen-
didly. Taylor, the fast little second
hoe D1o
game. He was sent to short when
Meyer was in the box. Bodie covered
the third sack. He deserves a grea.
deal of credit for he played when his
doctor told him to stay off the field.
| Nichols, the teams star left fielder
and dependable hitter, played fine
game throughout the season. Ropp
alternated at centre field, second base
and in the box and was never lacking
in his untiring efforts The big right
fielder, Lominack, played good game
all the time.
