Close Training With 15-0 Shutout – Open Official Season Tomorrow Afternoon Against Bishopville at University Field.
Columbia Legion juniors, completing preparations for opening of their schedule tomorrow afternoon at University field against Bishopville, whitewashed the Blaney CCC nine of the Carolina campus yesterday afternoon, 15 to 0.
The local boys secured only seven hits off Northrup and Martin, but the visitors were wild afield and committed an even dozen errors, most of which were costly. Columbia Juniors, on the other hand, gave Pittman and Heddon almost perfect support, committing only one miscue.
Blaney secured only five hits, no batters getting more than one hit.
Walling was the leading offensive star with three hits in five trips. Moore secured two for four. Harrison and Hedden got Columbia’s other two hits.
Youngblood poled a double for the CCC.
A Main street parade including players, Legionaires and the Richland Drum and Bugle corps will precede tomorrow’s opening battle. Governor Olin D. Johnston will hurl the first ball in opening ceremonies and Mayor L. B. Owens will catch it.
