Mighty Gamecocks Bow to;
Palmetto State Team For
I
First Time • This Season.
Game Replete With Sur
prises
COLUMBIA, S. C.—The mighty
Game Cocks of Carolina bowed in
defeat to a Palmetto state team for
the first time this season here Sat
urday before the Purple Hurricane
of Furman. The score was 10 to 0.
and was accounted for by a place
ment kick by Chewning In the sec- i
ond period and a touchdown byj
Blackwell, followed by the kick for
the extra point by Chewning in the
third period.
After a scoreless dirst quarter In
which the ball was kept In Caro
lina's territory for the greater part
of the time, Furman staged a march I
which placed them in Carolina's 12-
yard line In the second period. A
series of runs by Chewning, Tigh
man and her long placed Furman
before the Carolina goal cn the 9-
yard line where Chewning booted
the ball trom the placement.
Had it not been for an accidental
touch by Brlpe, of Carolina, ir* an
effort to stop the flying ellipse the
ball would not have gone over the
cross bar.
It was a game In which surprises
occurred throughout. The third pe
riod opened with Chewnlng’s kick
off behind Carolina’s goal line,
which, by the rules, placed the ball
on the latter’s 20-yard line. After
a play which netted little territory
Carolina punted but the ball was
blocked and recovered by Tllgh
man, Furman end, behind the game
cockllne for a touchdown. Chew
ning added the extra point by tho
kick.
In third quarter, Carolina at
tempted to turn the tide which had
swept against the game cocks and
advanced to Furman’s 20-yard line,
when the ball went over on a fum
ble. The Hurricane Boon sent the
ball over on a punt. It was In this
period that a pass, Brice to Wright
gained about 20, after which the
latter ran 17 yards, making a total
gain of 57 yards for Carolina.
Neither team scored in the fourth
period, Carolina attempting to cross
the Fdurman goal line In two series
of forward passes. Four passes
were thrown in the first series and
the ball went over on downs. The
game ended while Carolina’s sec
ond aerial offensive was underway.

Claim Baseball
Was Invented
In France
PARIS.—Claim that baseball was
Invented In Franco has been reviv
ed coincidentally wllth tho Europe
an tour of New York Giants and
Chicago White Sox.
In England they are satisfied
with saying that baseball is noth
ing but glorified “rounders" and
that llenry Chadwick, father of the
game, was born In the United
Kingdom. Franz Reichel, former
secretary of the French Olympic
Committee, however, is authority
for the statement that “baseball
was played in France fifty years
ago.”
This was long before the Ameri
can national pastime was organized,
M. Itelchcl continues,
“It was played with nine men to
a side and with four bases Just like
modern baseball, but it was known
as 'la grande thequex.' "
Dick Klnsella, of Springfield,
111., advance ngent for the Giant
and White Sox, when confronted
wllth this "news” at the headquar
ters of the newly organized French
baseball federation, said:
“It may have been "la grande
theque' In those days, but if it
doesn't get larger crowds .ere.than
the Sox ond Giants played to In Ire
land It will require 'ze grand
cheque' to foot the bill* when the
boys return to the states.”
The two teams drew a crowd or
about twenty spectators on their
recent appearance In Dublin.
"jl's a good thing the teams
aren't scheduled to play In China,
Klnsella volunteered "Some bright
Chinese sporting writer would be
sure to discover thaht baseball was
played there In the days of Confu
cius."
