THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARTOTTE, N. C, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIE 8, Iff 1 I "-gU I Davidson Meete State Here Saturda? II gfT I ! HI V'.sJ 4 ft ; ' r.-v.i ..... j if s IX ! J ; ATHLETICS TAKE GAME BY 6 TO 4 Phillies Measure Up Poorly Beside Connie Mack's 'All Southern" Outfit. Connie Mack's Athletics took ths third straight of a live-game series from "Wild Bill" Donovan's outfit .when the two teams met at - "Weani Field Thursday afternoon. The score . was 6 to 4. ,' As a spring exhibition contest, the game got by all right; as a mid-season battle, it would have been consid ered a rather stupid affair. There was enough good ball playing to satisfy and enough of dumb work to convince that neither team is fully ready for the opening of the season next week. The Athletics demonstrated them selves as superior to their Pliiladei phia brethren, who, like a good many individuals of the nation, appear to like the cellar better than the attic. Connie Mack's outfit , appears to be about in position to. rise, but if Thurs day's game is' to be accepted as a stan dard. "Wild Bill" will find his Phillies incapable of stepping higher. Nearly 2,500" -fans crowded -into Wearn Field to witness the game. The greatest disappointment to the crowd was the failure of Donovan to pitch Lee Meadows, the bespectacled Tar Heel, for at least a part of the game. It was announced,' however, that Mead ows was not in condition and that his friends would have to be satisfied witn seeing him sit in the dug-out. ' Three other stars were missing Dil gan, Neale and Ring. It was the hops of many that there would be a chance to see these men in action. The ab sence of Dugan, however, gave a chance for Chick Galloway, former -Presbyterian College star, to get in at short for Connie Mack's crew. Hasty, a former Southern Leaguer, did the pitching for the Athletics, while Keenan, a youngster, and Bum partner, a veteran, were on the mound for the Phillies. Hasty allowed 11 hits, but he kept them scattered. Keen an went well for a time, but finally .cracked and allowed the Athletics to score 6 runs. Bumgartner pitched the last four innings and held the Ath letics scoreless. Wrightstone, third baseman for the Phillies, was the hitting star of the day. though he pulled a terrible bone in the field on one occasion. His four hits were necessary to make up for his failure to touch third and kill a runner and his effort to cut off a man at second. Tilly and Frank Walker, both of whom used to romp about in these parts, came in for good hands. Titiy got one hit and stabbed a pretty one in left field. Frank Walker, the $7, 500 Rocky Mount beauty, also hit oaa and fielded two beautiful liners in cen ter. Cy Perkins, old Carolina Leaguer, failed to connect safely, but caught a pretty game. The two teams departed Thursday for Rocky Mount for the fourth game of the series: Phillies: ABRHPOAE Stengl. -rf 5 0 0 2 0 0 Rawgs, 2b 5 1 2 1 2 1 Williams, cf 4 1 2 0 0 0 Meusel.

EL0N DEFEATED STATE'S OUTFIT Faucette, First Baseman of State, Suffers Broken An kle While Sliding- Elon College, April 8. Elon defeat ed State College here Thursday after noon by the count of 6 and 4. Excep tionally fast fielding featured the con test which was running over with enthusiasm all the way through. Good sprinting on the paths by State en abled them to give Elon a closer run for the honors than would other wise have resulted. IX. was a costly defeat for State, inasmuch as Faucette, the brilliant first baseman for the Techs, broke his ankle sliding to third on a steal. He was taking to a hospital in Burlington. Elon scored first in the second in ning when Johnson, with two men out, drew a pass and was . brought home on "Underwood's hit. . State's first score came in the fourth when Redfern drew a pass, stole sec ond and came in on Blue's hit. State threatened to score in each' of the first three innings but was cut off at the home plate by the Elonites. In the sixth Elon scored twice on Brown's hit, a sacrifice and State's error, coupled with fast base running. A trio of hits in .the seventh netted another run for Elon. Clark, of Elon, first up in the eighth, clouted the ball over ! centerfield for a home run. State staged a finally rally in the ninth, getting five hits in irapid suc cession, including a two-base hit, but were able only to bring in two runs. CAROLINA BEATS MARYLAND, -1 1-1 Heavy Hitting by Morris Brothers and Wilson's Fine Pitching Did Work. Chapel Hill, April 8. Brilliant pitch ing by Captain Wilson enabled the Uni versity to vanquish Maryland Univer sity at Emerson Field Thursday, the score being 4 to 1. Wilson was. in de cidedly the best form he has displayed this season. He scattered the five hits Maryland plucked from his delivery in such scattered fashion that they were largely harmless. Nine Maryland runners were left on the bags because of his especial effect iveness m tight situations, WILD CATS READY FOR STATE GAME Special Train Will Bring Davidson Student Body to Charlotte Saturday.

Roy Morris, Carolina catcher, stepped into the list of home-run hitters when he shot one over the heads of the visiting outfield and. by a clever negotiation of the slide at the plate, added his- name 0 to the galaxy of circuit hitters on the team. Carolina fielded .miserably in spots, as many as six-errors being charged up. Sweatman's catch', in-right field was a redeeming feature. When Bailey crack ed a liner over first base that looked to be good for the whole route, Sweat man nailed the sphere on a dead run. He had taken right field after Llewellyn fell over the racing track in center and twisted his ankle. He will be out of the game for a week. Maryland's run came in the second inning when Paganucci was safe on Wilson's error and scored on Pollocks long two-base fly, 1 In the third Carolina came back with, a vengeance. McDonald doubled and scored on two sacrifice flies. Two more runs were added by the University in the fourth when Roy Morris' home run contributed its share to his team's vic tory. He later drove a long double to center field, but it was fruitless. Carolina: ABRHPOAE McDonald, ss .. .. .. 4 ' 1 1 2 2 3 0 McLean, 2b.. .. .. ..3 0 0 2 4 1 F. Morris, 3b.. .. .. 3 Spruil, lb 4 I.

The Baptists again overwhelmed the Wofford liine here Thursday afternoon, winning by the score of 12 td 4 by the superb pitch ir.g of Jones and the hard-hitting of the entire Wake Forest team. Austin started on the mound for the locals, but Jvas replaced by young Jones who saw his first experience as a slab bist against a college nine. He twirl ed the last six innings and allowed nothing that resembled a hit. The scoring started in tne second inning, Wofford drawing the first bleed when Berry swatted a home run. A couple of errors by Wake Forest follow ed by a single by Cross brought in an other tally for the visitors. Three hits on the part of Wake For est, produced by Stringfield, Duncan, Kelser, coupled with a series of errors, gave the Baptists 'four runs in their half of the second frame. Wofford again scored in the third in ning, but thereafter Jones who replaced Austin at this point was invincible. Wake Forest: Stringfield, ss. Jennette, cf. . .

The team has had a good rest since its game last Mon day against Wofford and will be in fine fettle for tho game. Several shifts have been made in the line-up and it is not a settled fact as to who will begin the contest. The student body is .keyed up to a high pitch and will take ;tnc Queen City by storm'. -A special' train? will convoy the Wildcat aggregation to Charlotte and will arrive about noon. The band will be there and a regular demonstration of that old Red and Black spirit will again greet the ran dom of the city who journey out to the game. Coach Hengeveld is not making any announcement as to who will begin the game. Wrenn will more than liki.lv lo the receiving and may be expected to hold; down his, position in his usual style. The pitching will be a last min ute selection, either Miley, Currie or Shepard beginning. The infield make up probably will be Crawford, Ratch ford, Cassell and Johnson, but this is undecided. The outfield will mor3 than likely be Brown, Hodgins, and, if. Shep ard does not twirl, he will occupy the other garden. - Two Charlotte boys will appear in the Tech line-up here Saturday when State College battles Davidson in ' a game having an important bearing on the state championship. George Murray, State's premier right hander, who is to report to the New York "Yankees" the first of June, is slated to pitch. The big boy looks bet ter this spring than ever before, which is saying a whole lot. He has pitched three games this season, turning in a victory against New York University, and losing a hard luck affair to Caro lina when Robbine Lowe drove a home run over the fence with the bases full. Last Monday he battled Wake Forest to a: 33 twelve inning tie, holding the hard hitting Baptists to six safeties for the twelve frames, three of these bingles being the veriest scratches. Besides, his splendid work in the box, Murray also helps his team materially on the offense. He is one of the best hitting pitchers in college baseball, just ly feared and respected by any. twiner he faces. Powerfully built, his drives are usually in the nature of fence, bust ers. ' The other Charlotte youngster is Dick Kirkpatrick, who plays right field. Dick's hitting has been hard and timely this spring, and he is one of the most consistent . men, in a pinch, on the squad. Two slashing doubles by him in the draw game with Wake Forest figured prominently in the Tech scor ing. In the outfield hia work has al ways been impressive, and he is also fast on the bases. .
