YD i FAR HEEL JL" JulJll Vol.11. UNIVERSITY OF KORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL; HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1903; No. 26. 1 "" ' ' t "" 1 i 1 - I. i THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. . - i i A SPIRITED CONTEST. Last Saturday's Game With Wof- ford Results in a Victory For Carolina by the Score of to 0. In a pitcher's battle in which honors were about equally shared, North Carolina won a fast, snappy fame from the Wofford sluggers yesterday afternoon by a score of two to nothing1. For seven innings the tar heel team, who two days ag-o took the game from the Cornell boys by the score of four to three, tried in vain to solve the myster ious benders that were being- serv ed up to the plate by Wofford's star pitcher, Durant. The feature of the game which blazed forth brighter than all oth ers was the timely four-bagger of Donnelly's in the eighth inning, when he pushed Carr from first across the plate, and scored himself, winning the game for his team. It was not until the third inning that Wofford succeeded in getting in the g-ame, when, after Cantey had flied out to first, Durant took a gift to first on balls and was follow ed by Brabman, K.. with a hit to center. So fast was the fielding of Oldham at center that Durant was cut off at second, but Green got a hot grounder past short and landed safely on first, advancing Brabham from second to third. With a man on first and one on third Burnett retires the side on a short ground er from third to fi rst and Wofford lost her first chance of scoring. For Garolina, Green went out on a hot liner to Burnett and Oldham made it the second one on a short ball to the pitcher, who threw him out at first. With two hands down and two strikes on Carr at the bat, Durant gives him four balls and a pass to first. Donnelly hit to pitcher who tried to catch Carr at second, but is too late and both men are safe, Holt lines one to Bur nett, who fumbles it, allowing- the runner to reach first and the oases are full. Cheshire hit an easy one to third and Oldham was retired at the plate. Neither team had any chance of scoring until the latter half of the sixth inning when, after one man had been taken care of, Holt drove a long liner to left field fence for two bags, and was followed by Cheshire with a hit over short, but by the fast field work of Brabham, W"., Holt was caught at third by Brabham, K. and put out, although the runner knocked 'the baseman down. Graham retired the side on a. grounder to first. There was nothing doing in the seventh inning for either team. It was in inning No. 8 that' Wofford had the chance to score, which was brought about in this wise: Cantey Went out at first on a grounder to pitcher and Durant struck out. Brabham, K., is hit by a pitched ball and walks, which is followed by Glaze with a hit through second. Again North Carolina's pitcher loses his control and Burnett is hit by the ball and walks, advancing both' Brabham and Glaze and the bases are full. Next man up was Wofford's heavy sticker, Isom, and the fans expected much, and were sorely disappointed when he hit a high fly to first, retiring the side without a score. So good did the Carolina boys feel at getting- out of this tig-ht place that they marched in a body to the players' bench and gave their colleg-e yell. All the scoring of the game was done in the latter half of the eighth inning-. Durant gave Carr his base on balls and Donnelly followed with a home run to the centerfield fence. The next three men were retired in order. This ended the run getting- of the game, for in the ninth inning- Glaze went out on a grounder to third. Brabham, W. placed one in the same place, but the baseman was slow in fielding it and the runner made good. On an error of Holt's Wiggins lands safely on first. Cantey .went out on fly to right. Durant retired the side with a hot liner to second. Captain Brabham, of the Wof foad team, was in the game from the first and he and Durant did star work for Wofford. TABULATED SCORE. CAROLINA. A.B.

For the sake of decency we omit the cussed tommy-rot published in The Columbia (S. C.) State of April 11th in regard to the "un sportsmanlike behavior" of the two Carolina teams in the game at Col umbia last week, and publish only the detailed report taken from that paper. We can truly say with The State, "Mr. Meetze made some un fortunate decisions," and but for the apologetic tone that the reporter assumed toward the umpire, he would have said rotten decisions, and instead of accusing the two iteams of unsportsmanlike behavior, ihe would have placed the blame where it belonged upon Mr. Meetze and not upon the players. They were right in objecting to such foolish childlike decisions as that crank made. Fortunate for the State of South Carolina that she has few such umpires and re porters as figured in this game. Though the rooters yelled and the drum carolled forth its sonorous song, Carolina was unable to score on the first inning. The Tar Heels took the stick and, though Oldham died an easy death, Carr sent the leather lying out into left field and finished his pace at the third sack. Donnelly's hot hit burnt the man who caught it and he dropped it, and Carr paced in. Before the in ning closed Donnelly had scored South Carolina was quite as for tunate in the next spasm. Wilcox and Martin crossed the rubber through errors on the part of their opponents and the rooters swelled almost to bursting. The first visitor from the neigh boring State who came to bat in the second inning sent up a faint fly which perished, and two more men were caught in a beautiful double play by Shortstop Gilland, Aiken and Gunter. The locals played in luck in the third, for through hard hitting and some unfortunate moments for the visitors, five dots were placed on their side of the book. North Car olina's half of the inning was the time when one of the disagreeable incidents occurred. Carr . was call' ed out at third base, and the um pire gave him 10 minutes to leave the sack, before he would be put out of the game. The tar heels took the 10 minutes and kicked, while the grand-stand waited. One runner crossed the home plate. The spectators waxed sarcastic over the delay in the next inning, while 18 men and the umpire dis cussed the question of whether Gunter had stuck his head in the way of the ball or not. In this same inning the visitors filled the bases twice, and Gilland forced one run by yielding a base. South Carolina went out 1, 2. 3, but-her opponents were enthusias tic over the fact that they lacked 'but three of tieing the score. Smathers placed a neat hit just be tween Aiken and Martin and two men came in. Hart hit to Wilcox, who swallowed the ball, but Smath ers scored after the leather was paught. The score was now tied, and the Chapel Hill boys gave their yell to let the grand-stand know it. The silence from the South Caro lina rooters was deathlike. Carolina sent one man in the next, inning. Donnelly's catch of a long fly made the fans clap loudly. Carr put, Donnelly out, Holt out, was the story for North Carolina. . Both Carolinas scored once in the seventh. There was a kick ,but the fans were used to them by this time. The garnet and black saw its fin ish in a rush in the first half of the eighth inning. North Carolina had a full house twice in her half, and put herself one run to the ,good. There was the usual kick coming, aud after a weary interval the fans were informed that the game had been called at the tie score of 9 to 9. The score in detail follows: NORTH CAROLINA. A.B. R. B.H.

The sun in merry mood has kissed The valley and, the dale, And promised them security From winter's chilly gale. The valley and the dale in turn Have blushed in sweet reply And sent the gentle tidings on To land and sea and sky Till every bird and bee and flqwer Has each the message caught; And they in turn have sent it on With song and sweetness fraught. And so the annual message goes The entire line along Till every voice in nature blends In one responsive song. 'Fall in!" thundered the captain, as they were crossing the bridge. "Not me, Cap!" faltered the Dublin recruit. "Oi can't swim." JL
