THE. -TAR HEEIL OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA VOL. 21 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEt HILL, N. C, THURSDAY. APRIL 24. 1913 NO. 28 VIRGINIA EVENS BASEBALL SERIES Wins a Freaky Game, 12 to 9 after Carolina Had a Six Run Lead W.1 AND L. WINS, V. M. L LOSES The Teams Hit Hard on the Trip, but the Pitchers Are Badly off Color Virginia evened up in Charlottes ellle, April, 18, by taking a freaky game from Carolina (2 to 9. At the end of the third inning Carol ina led, 6 to 0; at the end of tho fifth Virginia led, 12 to 6. And when in the ninth Hubert Bailey, who had already won one of the ViJginia games, drove out a home run, sending two more ahead f him it looked as though the rcore might be reversed once more. Carolina used Ay cock, Craven, and Graves in the box. Aycock started off in fine style, grew a little wobbly en the third when Virginia scored four runs, and was finally chased n the fifth when the Omaha cyclone broke loose Craven took up the burden and lasted just one inning. Graves'then went in and for the rest of the game held the Virginia batters helpless. If he had only gone in sooner - Grant, the Virginia southpaw pitched a "ecnliar gnnie- Thirteen hits he yielded, but he struck out an -ven dozen. In the fist few in ning he was severely punished, but lie kept at it and got better as he w-nt along. The game vras lot in the flftl inning, Five hits, including a tiiule h.v Philip with the bases full, mixed up with three errors at critical times, allowed eight runs The whole team seemed to go up in f,he air and Virginia took advantage of every opportunity. Once with men on third add second, Thomp son caught a foul in left field. When the runners made a break at home he threw the ball Hart let the ball get away and two more runs weie added. That was a fair sample of that inning Once in the lead Virginia tighten ed up and Carolina could not break through her defence. Bailey's home run in the ninth brought a a ray of hope, which grew when Hart followed with a singie, but subsided when Knowles, pinch hit ter flew out. Bailey's fielding was in big league etyle and Sickley's work at third was as good as it was in Greens boro, which is going some. Phillips hit like a fiend. Box score: VIRGINIA A.B. H. O. A. E.

Holmes, director of the United States Bureau f Mines delivered two very interesting and instructive lectures before the University Thursday and Friday nights. Dr. Holmes, who before he opened up this department in the national governrHenti was State Geologist of North Carolina, is no stranger in Chapel Hill. Up to 1903 he was in the faculty of this Univer sity, as Professor of Geology. Thursday night Dr. Holmes gnve an open lecture before the Elisba Mitchell Scientific Society on the Rescue Work of the Bureau of Mines; and Friday night he lectured to the facu'ty and student body on the Panama Canal. Both lectures were illustrated by moving picture slides. In this way Dr. Holmes showed in the first lecture the great importance of the mining industryranking as it does along - with agriculture the vast mineral resources ef the U. S., the enormous amount of waste both raw material and human life in the operation of these mines, and the splendid work the Bureau o: Mines is dosng towards bettering this condition by seeksng to check the exploitation of natural resources and by studying methods of preven ting the enormous toll of human lives that the industry annually ex acts. In the second lecture Dr. Holmes descrilied with the aid of his pictures the piogress that the government has made in constructing the big ditch in the isthmus, He told of tne work formely done by the French the difficulty of the task presented to the U. S. on account of the; san itary conditions in Panama, the method of building the Gatun dam and of digging the Culebra cut. After he had concluded his lecture on the canal, Dr. Holmes showed some views of other gigantic pieces of engineering work that are being accomplished in other parts of the country. Those two lectures wer the most largely attended and thoroughly en ioved that have been delivered to the students this year. TRACK TEAM HOPES TO WIN CUP The track team goes to Raleigh Fridav to compete in the State Track Meet Great interest cen ters around this contest because of its state wide' nature, still greater interest because Carolina, by win ning this contest, can retain perm anent possession of the trophy cup. To kei-p it a college must have won the meet three successive times. Twice Carolina has easily captured first place, last year taking 67 1-2 out of a possible 143 points, 34 1-2 points ahead of her nearest rival. This year Carolina is as strong as ever, if not stronger. Wake Forest and A. & M. are the only other Colleges that will give trouble with probabitity of A. & M. having the stronger team oi tne two. Ana what Carolina has all ready done to the Farmers this year is ancient and honorable history. It looks as though another trophy will soon be added to the proud collection in the Trophy Room.

A bonfire was hastilly construct ed, various members of the Univ ersity band began tooting their instruments, repeated yells were given for the winning debators, and the singing and frolicking around the fire in front of the South Build ing lasted until late in the night. Not since Carolina's historic foot ball victory over Virginia In 1905 has there been such a spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm. And well might there be rejoic ing; the victories were notable. Judging by the caliber of the Hop kins team here, Graham and Tillett must have had their hands full at Charlottesville. Taylor and Busby deserve all the more credit for their victory in that they were the only negative team to win. The decis ion of the judges in each case was three to two in favor of Carolina, and though the contests were thus remarkably close, there was no kicking over the result". The ad mittedly best teams won. The query was: 4 'Resolved, That without regard to the obligations of the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty, the tolls of tpe Panama Canal should le the same for the merchant ves sals of all nations' ' . Carolina had the affirmative against Hopkins. Frank Graham's argument con corned chiefly the international aspects of the Canal. He showed that it was an international water way and such should be placed on the same basis to all nations. Tillett took up the business side of the question and showed that even if American ships were ex empted, the practical result uwold be harmful. The Hopkins debaters Messrs. Albert L. Hammond and Abel Wolman, argued that each nation should decide the question for itself. The judges were all members of the Virginia faculty, Drs. Richard H. Dabney, William M. Lile, Chas. A. Graves, Thos. W. Page, and Protessor William H. Echols. Dr. Alphonso Smith presided. Against Virginia, Taylor and Busby argued for the exemption of all American ships and of other ships doing business in American ports. The Virginia debaters Messrs. William A. Adams and Geo. L. Bosnian were not prepared for this stand and their chief reply to it was that the idea was not seriously regarded save in Chapel Hill. The decisi on here too was three to two for Carolina. The Johns Hopkins - Virginia de bate in Gerrard Hall was one of the most thoroughly interesting and en joyable intellectual combats ever heard here. Professor W. S. Bernard, him self an old intercollegiate debater, presided, with J. T. Pritchett as secretary. The judges were: Dr. Chas. L. Raper, professor H. H. Williams, Dr. J. G. DeR. Hamil ton, Professor E" K. Graham, and Professor L. P. McGehee, Hr pkins defended the affirmative, Virginia the negatsve. The Hopkins debaters wre Leo Wolman, and Lindsay Rogers; the Virginia, H. H. Kantnerane C. M. Durrance. Mr. Wolman in leading off for Hopkins stated that the query pre sented two aspects for consideration, an economic, and a moral or ethical aspect. The economic side of the question he handled, leaving the ethical to his colleague. He argued that the U. S. should not ' discrim inate in favor of vessels engaged in coast wise traffic because that is the best protected monopoly of this cowitrvT Discrimination would benefit not the consumer nor the producer: but the refunded tolls- would find their way no farther than the treasury of the carrying com pany . To discriminate in .favor of our other merchant marine would not help put it on a sound basis, be cause it would require a subsidy of at least $ 12, 000,000 annually to put it on a competitive footing with that of England. Germany, and France, whereas the toJls that will be paid by all of this class of vessels will amount to only $ 1, 500 000 Mr, H. H. Kan tner opened for Vir ginia. Virginia would consider two classes of American vessels, he stated that should for economic reasons have use of the Panama Canal free of tolls: that port of our merchant marine plying between this country and the South American states, and that port trading between the twe coasts of the United States. To prove the first half of th t propo sition he devoted his time. The Ktential resources of the Latin re publics to the South of us are euor mous. Europe has at present a larger trade with these countries than we have, because of certain natural advantages. After the open ing of the canal a large part of it should come to us, however, pro viding we place our vessels trading with these countries on an equal or better basis than those of England, Germany, and France. The speaker pointed out how our advantages nearly balanced now with theirs and would be grater if we followed their example and either paid the tolls of our vessels as those govern-, ments intended to do for theirs, or did not charge tolls at all. Mr. Lindsay Rogers, the second speaker for Hopkins, declared that without any reference to , the Hay Pauncefote Treaty wnatever, he would prove that frf.n the very birth of the idea of clf, 'has canal 1 !
