THE THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. Vol. 9. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, March 25, 1901. ), 21 Carolina vs. Lafayette. TheFlrst Game of Base Ball Was Played Today. The first game of base ball for this season was played yesterday afternoon on the New Athletic Field and when the game was called in the middle of the fifth inning, with the score 2-2. The playing" was pretty from the beginning", and would no doubt have been a close struggle. Carolina was ahead up to the fifth inning when on error Lafayette succeeded in rrnssine-home plate twice. Before - j. i that Lafayette had not reached sec ond. Cunningham's pitching was the feature of the game, as was Carr's excellent work at short and Pendleton's fielding. For the visit ors the feature was a triple play in the third inning. The weather all day was very sultry and cloudy, but rain did not begin till the end of the fifth inning and after waiting a reasonable time the game was called off, with the score not counting for either. The second game will be played tomor row afternoon and' a larare crowd should;turn, out to see it. The crowd was inexcusably small. With this kind of support the team surely can't think that, they have the confidence and backing of the student body. The synopsis is as follows: Game called 3:20.

Delegates. At the Young Men's Christian Association Convention recently held in" Wilmington, the following gentlemen were present as dele gates representing the University, Messrs. Hill, Ivie,- Woodard, Mc- Neely and Newton, all ' of whom with the exception or Mr. Woodard returned yesterday. The Y. M. C. A. gave them a hearty welcome on their return and had a few brief re marks from each delegate at their last meeting. The greatest joke fell upon Mr. Hill, as one of his fiiends said he was the only gen tleman there when the ladies held their meeting. Base Ball. Practice Games and General Critl- ' cisni. The practice the past week has been held on the new Athletic FieM which makes an excellent ground. The diamond is verv hard and fast and the outfield is in good condition The 'Varsity and Scrubs have lined up every afternoon and decided im provement is noticed in the playing! Graham is out again trying for 'third, after having been indisposed jfor two weeks. Cunningham has jbeen put in the box during the week and he is a decided acquisition to jthe pitching force. He throws a very swift ball and has gfood curves. He should use' his head more and jnot use such a winding-up delivery, especially when there is any one on pases. ! Battle has been out and thrown a few balls. His arm is greatly im proved and no doubt will be entire ly well in a short time. Smathers at third is playing good ball and has made some very nice stops. Graves and Carr have both done much bet ter work at short than heretofore. Cocke and Holt are playing their old steady games. The outfielding continues good, in fact the fielding of the whole team is decidedly bet ter now than it has been. The men are generally very active and quick, but every bit of lazy and slovenly playing must be stopped, and no fancy work indulged in. The bat ting is improved some, but there is much room for more improvement. Batting practice is held every after noon, before the game, and no doubt this will get better. The base-run ning is prettT good, but sometimes faulty. Every man, time he hits a ball, either grounder or fly-ball, to infield or outfield, should run as liard and fast as possible to the base, instead of taking it for granted that the ball will be caught, because it is not always caught. More atten tion should be paid the signs and the players should follow explicitly any special directions given them by the coach. More head-work should be used in running bases and the players must start off more quickly and not slow up just before getting to a base. The weeks prac tice shows good improvement in the fielding, batting still weak, base- running better, but faulty aud a tendency noticed to do lazy work and loaf. All of these faults must be corrected and any others that the players themselves are aware of. Next week's Tar Heel will contain a synopsis account of the Lafayette games. Historical Society. The meeting of the Historical So ciety last Tuesday evening was quite an interesting one. Well pre pared papers were read by Messrs. N. R. Blackmail and G. V. Roberts, and some very interesting matter by the President, Dr. Battle. Mr. Blackman's paper was enti tled "A Chapter from the History of Prices." We print an abstract of it. "It is of especial interest to look into the retail trade of a hundred years ago, and follow the changed in prices, and in the articles con sumed, and to investigate the causes and follow these changes and their1 causes down to the present time. This will give us information that cannot be gotten from any one book, and the subject constitutes an hum ble, but important branch of our history, greater in significance than many of the political matters that ireceive so much attention. ! This shows us what the average1 private citizen bought and used, and in what quantity and . what price.' It shows us what the real cost of living in those years was. It ena-" bles us to compare the cost of living in the past, the variations in the prices of any one article, the varia tions in the purchasing of wages money, and helps us in a very strik ing way to compare our own times with the past in a persorial way. Upon the whole the general ten dency for a hundred years has been to lower prices. Almost with out exception the real necessaries of life are cheaper now thin ever be fore. Fluctuations have occurred, but the general tendency has been to cheapen the cost of living. North Carolina has undergone many hanges in a hundred years. A hundred years ago we had only half a million people. Now we have almost two million. Then there were no large communities, and very lit tle communication between them. At first North Carolina was strict ly an agricultural State, and the the plantation system prevailed ex tensively. Each plantation was al most a complete little community in itself. Even the class that did not own slaves depended but little on the outside world, as all sorts of home supplies were produced. This was more or less the outcome of ne cessity, as transportation was ex pensive. When railroads were in troduced, however, a great change took place in the nature and amounts of things bought.' Mr. Blackman then followed the ,Teat market fluctuations, as influ enced by wars, panics, and the like, From 1700 up to the present time. He read a list of prices of different irticles in general use in 1812, 1832, 841, and 1858, then during the Civ- 1 War, when there was almost no supply, and prices were enormous. The lowest point in prices reached was about the time of the panic in 1893. 'Some people tell us," he conclud ed, "that at the present time wants tave been multiplied without a cor responding increase in means to sat isfy' them, and that the general ten dency is for people to live beyond their means. Be this a.; it may, one thing is certain - the purchasing power of a dollar in the real neces saries of life is greater now than it has ever been in the so-called good old days of the past." The next paper was read by Mr.
