In both 1932 and 1933 Coach Johnson moved men from other positions to the pitching hillock and made regular chunkers out of them. This season the Blue How will depend largely on two sophomores for the hurling. They are Holliday and Forehand Holliday saw service with the 193.3 freshman squad, while Forehand did not report for baseball last spring. "Robby" Robinson, hefty Easley citizen who was a reserve last year, is also being counted on for considerable service this spring. Graduation also virtually wrecked the Blue Stocking infield.

Vacancies are left at third base, shortstop and second, Red Wyatt on third and Shorty Home on shortstop or second will give a dependable infield except for one hole, which will be filled out of a long list of sopho Brownies Swamp N. Y. WEST PALM REACH, Mar. 22. (ITi-The St.

Mar. 22 The Presbyterian college baseball team got in its first full day of practice this week today in a workout that found the last man leaving the field shortly after sundown. A long hitting drill took up most of the afternoon, with pitchers alternating with their teammates in tossing them over to the batters. A warm sun had the team in high spirits after rain and a wet field had hampered practice for two days. As usual, Coach Walter Johnson is faced this season with a scarcity of mound material at the Presbyterian institution.

Two of last year's regular hurlers were lost through graduation, leaving the brunt of the pitching duty to be borne by two sophomores unless some of the men who played in other positions last season develop unexpectedly into mound talent.

Harris, who keeps an ear to the ground and knows his baseball." "We have in Wood a very capable and hard working catcher," Mr. Harris beamed.

E- S. WHITNEY ON HANI) The weather man promised sunshine with intermittent showers following a day of steady rain but there, was not much hope that the green turf would be fast for the big event.

Reds Hit Timely To Beat Brooklyn TAMPA, Mar. 22-fAP) Making the most of their seven hits off Owen Carroll and Art. Herring, the Cincinnati Reds today took a 3 to 2 decision from the Brooklyn Dodcers. While Don Brennan, Allen Stout and Joe Shaute, the latter a former Dodger, were keening Brooklyn's nine hits scattered over six innings, the Reds jumped on Carroll for two runs and six hits in the first five innings and picked up what proved to be the deciding tally in the eighth off Herring. A base on balls, a wild pitch, an error and an outfield fly sent Shaute across the plate with the run.

Although not in the big three as far as totai points, the individuals from the Seneca grammar school acquitted themselves well.

Wiles won first place in his division in the speaking contest. Adelaide Adams tied for first place in the same group of girls from the primary grades. In the division composed of the fifth, sixth and seventh grades, Evelyn Abbott won third place. Harlod Landreth qualified lor the finals.

The boss of the Fui-man "muscle ranch' has enough trouble in other departments and he said last night he would stand pat on Guy Williams, "Scoop" Hough, Calder and Srhoon to win games from the mound in orthodox fashion. Furman's baseball business is looking up, too. The boys in Purple played a five-inning practice game with Camperdown of the Piedmont textile league and showed promise afield and at bat. Observers kept score by knifing niches in a stick every time either team scored, and at the end Furman had more niches than Camperdown. But the niches in the flail of Fame was reserved for Camperdown's center fielder who made a running barehanded catch which Coach MeLeod described as the "best I ever saw." BID FOR PENNANT Identity of the fly-chaser is being kept a secret by Manager Henry Huff, of Camperdown, in hopes that other teams this season will make the mistake of hitting line drives to center field.

C. Track Hopes Dimmed By Illness CLINTON, Mar. 22. (AP)-Beset by illness and injuries, the Presbyterian College track squad was told today by Coach Lonnie McMillan that it probably would lose its first two meets of the season, with the University of South Carolina and with Georgia.

Covington and "Hardrock" Smith are battling tooth and nail for the catcher's position and both probably will have chance to perspire freely in games this season.

Ab Powell, the big, rangy first sacker, is clouthing the ball with, accustomed vim, vigor and vitality and his only handicap now is a shoulder injury that makes throwing difficult. GOOD FIELDING TEAM Jack Barbasso is prancing around second base like a two-vear old colt and holds the key to the situation. Third base is an open proposition, with Bob Smith and Morns Bridges competing for the post. Roy Hogg, who played with Southern Worsted last summer, is over the shortfield. McCarter and Blair are proving useful as candidates for several positions.

The outfield seems to be capably guarded by "Puss" Cox, Will Clink-scales, a prospect of wonderful possibilities, and Weldon James. "Don't put me on record as saying we will finish on top," said Coach MeLeod. "I might have to much to take back, but, lissen, this ball club of ours can carry the mail, believe me, and we'll be tough to beat." Furman's activity will be confined chiefly to competition in the Palmetto league but a game with Princeton. N. club here the latter part of this month will furnish a good test.

Other practice games probably will be arranged. Miss Dansforth Speaker To Club WARE SHOALS. Mar. 22. At the regular weekly meeting of the Fellowship club Miss Dansforth of Columbia Bible school delivered a talk on the subject of personal salvation.
