CAROLINA TAKES
THE FIRST
Defeats Swathmore in an In
teresting Game by a Score
of 3 to 0
WOODS HOLDS SWARTHMORE TO ONE HIT
Victory Due to Schaefer's Wildness
Combined With the Effective Use of
the Squeeze Play by the Members of
the Varsity
Carolina 3, Swathmore 0 was
the result of a unsensational but
interesting game last Wednesday.
The absolute inability of the
Northerners to hit Woods was
chiefly responsible for their de
feat. From the time he struck
out three men in succession in
the first round of the mix-up un
til he fanned the last man in the
ninth, Woods had Swar hmore
completely at his mercy. One lit
tle single in the seventh after two
men were down was everything
in the way of hits which the vis
itors were able to secure.
The big boy made Swarthmore
look fut ny at the plate. Eleven
times his curves and drops caused
the Swarthmore batters to die
gently but firmly at the plate. In
the ninth with a man on and no
one out he fanned (Jeig, whose
chief title to fame is his ability to
hit home runs.
Carolina, likewise, seemed un
able to find what appeared to be
Schaefer's rather easy offerings
until the eighth. Only one hit
had been gathered in up to that
time. But in the eighth Irby
and Page got singles apiece, and
Swink landed on one for three
bases. The victory was due not
to Carolina's ! hitting but to
Schaefer's wildness and the ef
fective use of the squeeze play.
Both teams fielded well. The
infield work of the visitors was
superb. Every man of the in
field handled what came to htm
perfectly. Weaver at second, and
Gilchrist, at third, worked es
pecially well. For Carolina, Ed'
ward's work at third was the
feature of the e-ame. Three
times he handled balls from
Geig's stick without erring.
Geig's terrific drive in the sixth
dropped from his glove, but he
recovered in time to catch the
runner at first. Young made a
pretty catch of a difficult fly in
tett.
The first score came in the
second inning, Young walked,
stole second and third, and scored
on Whitaker's sacrifice. In the
sixth Swink walked, and scored
on two perf act bunts by Page and
SToung. In the eighth Edwards,
first up, walked but was thrown
out on an attempted steal. Irby
Angled. Swink drove one be
tween left and center for three
bases. Irby was called out for
cutting second, but Swink, with
out stopping, came home on a
bad throw in. Page singled;
Young got his third base on
balls' Whitaker filled the bases
w'th another base on balls: but
Bailey fouled out to the catcher.
In the third for Swarthmore
Gilchrist walked, Thomas was
safe on Woods' error; Gilchrist

Winston-Salem Leaders
Defeat Carolina
In a slow and rather uninterest
ing practice game played last Sat
urday while the track meet was
going on Winston-Salem team, of
the Carolina Association, defeated
the Varsity by the score of 4 to 3.
Jim Leak clayed it rig-ht in
nlare of "Monk" Hanes, and
Winstead played center for Page
Scarcely any of the professionals
played iu their regular positions;
and after the fourth inning
O'Halaraii, in charge of them,
made so many lightening changes
the scorer could hardly keep pace.
The game was a work out pure
nA simnle for both sides. Both
v. v
sides took things easy, and al
though all the pitchers Clancy
has sitrned worked for an inning
or two, none -of them exerted
themselves very much. Lee

time did he turn loose. He held
the professionals to two doubles
ond two singles, all scattered.
Lanier, who followed, did not
fare so well. He was bumped
for four in a row in the eighth,
. . . I. j
and for a triple, single, anu
double in the ninth. Hits by
Leak, Irby, and Swink, followed

Interesting Paper of Dr. Hamilton on "The
Union League in N. C" Read by Dr. '
Wagstaff ' - '
At the meeting of the Histori
cal Society in Chemistry Hall
Monday night, Professor Wag
staff read a very interesting paper
on "The Union League in North
Carolina." The paper was pre
pared by Dr. Hamilton and is a
chapter in the book he is writing
on the "Reconstruction in North
Carolina". Of the inside work
ings of the League in this and
other states, very little is known
generally, because of the secrecy
of the organization. Dr. Hamil
ton has opened up a hitherto closed
chapter in the history of the re
construction by compiling, after
diligent research the facts and
actions of this League.
The Union League was formed
in the North in the early sixties
and soon became national in its
scope. It followed the Union
army Soutn and became very ac
tive in North Carolina, esbecially
in the central and eastern part of
the State. The League under
took the control of the negroes
and was itself controlled by car
petbaggers. The national con
stitution w as very elaborate, but
the work of each subordinate
council was entire y local. The
first president in North Carolina
was Judge A. W. Tourgee, who
was followed in turn by Holdett,
later governor, and Gen. N. S.
Littlefield, although Governor
Holden was thought to be presi
dent, even by the members, until
1870. The sign of the order was
four L's, standing for "Liberty,
Lincoln, Loyalty, and League."
The membership of the league
consisted of negroes and Republi
cans and meetings were held at
night in school houses and
churches. Negroes were often
forced to join and, having become
members, were completely capti
vated by the power and attention
given them. As a result of this
and of literature distributed by the
league, they were encouraged in
committing all kinds of crimes,
as burning barns, stealing prop
erty, and sometimes even murder
ing. The league would release
its members from jail and Govern
or Holdon frequently pardoned
them when sentenced. There
were many instances of threats
and notices posted on courthouse
doors against white citizens, who
worked against the league. One
threat, which was quoted, for
Tom Green was posted on the
courthouse door in Hillsboro.
The continued outrages and
crimes committed by members of
the. league resulted in what is to
day the "Solid South." The re
markable self-restraint practiced
so long by the Southern men was
finally broken. The activities of
the - Union League were stopped
at last by the appearance of the
Ku Klux Klan.

SWARTHMORE TAKES ONE
Durability of Varsity Batters to Hit Combined
With Errors Give Swarthmore the Record
Game of the Series.
Errors at inopportune times
were the main reasons - why
Swarthmore was able to turn the
tables on Carolina in the second
game of the series by the score of
3 to 2. Errors helped Swarth
more to win, and the inability of
Carolina's batters to land safely
on Greist, kept Carolina from
winning. From the bleachers
Greist's offerings appeared easy,
but the bleachers are a good deal
different from the batter's box.
Not until the last half of the
sixth, when Leak went in to bat
for Woods, did the team get the
ghost of a hit. Young and
Whitaker due to Greist's kind
ness in ; giving them free passes
got on. Bailey flied out to left
who muffed the ball, and as a re
sult was able to catch Young at
third. Then Jim Leak, sent in
as oinch hitter, set the rooters
wild with a perfect single be
tween center and right. This
was the only real chance Carolina
had to cheer.
The game started with Woods
ag-ain on the mound. He seemed
not to have warmed up enough,
or at least was unable to keep his
offerings out of the groove. At
anv rate Darbrow. who fanned
...
once the day before, and Tarble
who went and did likewise twice,
landed on him for a double and
triple respectively. Naturally
one run was marked up on the
wrong side. This was the only
earned run of the game. The
other two were pure gifts.
Errors by Geig and Lucas gave
Carolina one in the third. The
e-ame drag-gred along; until the
KJ V w
fifth with only Page's splendid
running catch in center to relieve
the monotony. In the fifth Dar-
brow cot on bv a hit of the
scratchest kind, stole second,
went to third on Baker's out. and
scored on Young's muff of Tar
ble's easy fly. Carolina scored
again in the sixth on passes fol
lowed by Leak's hit. Swarth
more came back with the even
ing run in the same inning.
Lucas was on by Irby's wild
throw. Weaver sacrificed, and
Gilchrist drove Lucas in with a
single.
Carolina threatened to rally in
the eighth and ninth. Greist be
gan to lose his control. He issued
a pass in the eighth after two
were down. With three balls on
Bailey, Greist was substituted by
Tarble. The latter promptly
finished passing Bailey. All
Lanier could do, however, was to
go out on a fly to right. In the
ninth Hanes fanned, Edwards
went out short to first, Irby
singled, Swink walked, Page
fanned, and the agony was ended.

SOPHOMORES TAKE
TRACK! MEET
Enter More Men in the Events
and Present a Better
Balanced Team
ffOOLCOTT, '15, SCORES 20 1-2 POINTS
The 'Meet a Great Success. Strong:
Breaks Pole Vault Record. Cobb,
Patterson and Cartmell Win in an
Exciting Relay. : ; ;
The Sophomore class had
things its own' way in the inter
class track meet held Saturday
the final score standing: Sophs
45, Freshmen 32, Juniors 21,
Seniors 10. The meet was an all
round success, particularly from
the point of view of the work
done. One University record was
broken. George Strong, '14, pole
vaulted 10 feet 4, which is 4 inches
better than Parsley's old record.
Considering the fact that no
Varsity men were entered, the
other times and distances were
very promising.
The individual star of the meet
was undoubtedly Philip Woolcott
of the Freshman class. The
quality and versatility of his
work mark him as one of the most
promising track athletes Carolina
has had in a long time. He scored
20 out of the 32 points made by
the freshmen, capturing both !
jumps and both hurdles and tying 1
for third place in the pole vault; '
In neither the jumps nor the
hurdles did he have to extend
himself to win. Had he been
pushed, it is probable several
records would have fallen. Wool
cott will be heard from later. '
B. C. Parker's shot put of 36
feet 6 inches and Mason's 100 in
10 1-5 second stand out as ster
1 i n g performances. Parker's
work is already much better than
any done here last year, and in
view of the short practice he has
had, great things may be ex
pected of him. Mason took both
the sprints, closely foilowrd in
each case by Sears.
' The Sophs scored heavily in
the half mile and the mile, win
ning all places in both these
events. The former furnished an
exciting finish, Ransom and
Whiting fighting it out all down
the straight-away, Ranson final
ly winning. The Sophs had more
men entered in the meet and pre
sented a better balanced team.
They scored in every event save
the shot put. , , ;
The climax of the meet . was
the relay race between teams
made up of Varsity stars and
Coach Cartmell. It was the first
time Cartmell had raced on the
local track, and consequently the
interest was keen. The teams
were: Collier Cobb, Jr., E. V.
Patterson, Nat J. Cartmell; and
M. E. Blalock, Jr., R. C. Spence,
W. E. Wakeley. Cobb and Bla
lock, ran one lap with Blalock
leading by about 12 yards. Pat
terson and Spence ran two laps,
and at the end the distance be
tween them had been shortened
to 6 yards. Wakeley and Cart-
