Durham, April 19—Charlie Pearce of Timberlake, centerfielder for the Duke University baseball team, is suffering a fractured bone in the right leg, according to physicians who have examined the player since an accident in the Carolina game here Saturday.
Pierce was hurt while running bases, his leg being wrenched when a slide was made. After a few moments he resumed playing and was in the game another inning before being taken out. X-ray photographs revealed the broken bone, and I tis probable that he will miss games for the next couple of weeks.
