Saw Washing-ton American Ieajrue Team Walloped by the Bonton IjeaKTicrs Sliared a Five Cent Rbr of reanuts With Vice President Sbennati and Rooted Hard. Washington, April 19. President Taft went out to the baseball game to-day. saw Washington walloped by the Boston American leaguers, was initiated into the mysteries of the "spit ball," shared a five cent bag of peanuts with Vice President Sherman, who sat In the box next to him, wish ed hard for Washington, and said sad ly that he hoped he wasn't a "hoo doo." Although the game was one-sided almost from the first, there were some thrilling plays mixed wit hthe bad ones on the part of the Washington Players and the President remained until hte last man was out. No one in Washington could recall to-day when it was that a President of the United States last attended a ball game in this city. President Taft arrived at the beginning of the sec ond innning. The game .was inter rupted by the cheering, as , the crowd quickly recognized the President and I saw him greet the Vice President. 1 The latter had gone directly to the grounds from the Senate chamber. The President s arrival and the brief interruption of play, had the ef fect of giving 'Dolly" Gray. -a Wash ington pitching recruit from the minor leagues, a bad case of stage fright. Before the last Bostonian was out in the Inning, two runs had beeen scor ed. Whlie the President still looked on hopefully In the fourth, the Wash ington players got so rattled they could not pick up the ball after stop ping it, and, Boston got away with fouY more tallies. It was then that ?.Jref ldent Bia h hoped he wasn't a hoodoo." Bingham Beaten by Lenoir. Special, to The Observer. Hickory, April 19.

SIDELIGHTS ON THE PRIZE RING GENERAL NEWS OF INTEREST HORNETS WIN A YERY CLOSE GAME In a very enterUinln. but not ex citing afTalr at the league ground yesterday afternoon. Chaflotta won over a mixture of Davidson Colle;f player by the close score of Mo 1. The collegian played plucklly and had many supporters In the stand anxiously pleading that they count oftener, but Ford, who did the firing for the professionals, pitched steadily nd kept himself from much danger until the ninth Inning, when the boys actually scored one run and Vim desperately near adding an other. But after a good throw to tne, plate by Smith after Elliott had cracked a nice single to right field with two on bases, the score would have been hung up. The contest was not devoid of some rather spectacular features. Sharp made a da'shlng catch of an offering in the opening Inning and Smith made a sensational stop of a hot single from Booe's willow that look ed to be headed for the fence. Buie, the visitor catcher, made a hand some catch of a foul In the first para graph. The Charlotte team played accu rately but not spicily. The visitors were In the game right from the reel and remained enthusiastic. They put up a good exhibition and deserved a deal of credit for their showing. Baird, the local new third baseman, performed with pleasing grace and looks like a good man. Brennen did well on second and Warner pegged correctly.

NR VIRGINIA VICTOR IN A GREAT GAME Tar Hela Lose 12-1 lining Contest In the Last Rounds Great crowd of , Enthusiastic Fans Witness the Greatest Game of the Season Both Pitchers Do Splendid Work, Carolina's Errors Being. In the Main, Responsible For the Defeat. Special by Stall Correspondent. Greensboro. April l. With four thousand frantic fans shouting their favorites on to hoped-for victory, the baseball teams of North Carolina and Virginia battled desperately, grimly, fiercely, for twelve excruciating Inn ings this afternoon. Virginia S, North Carolina 1, is a phrase In which is burled as agonizing a contest as the sport has known. From 3:30 o'clock when "Red' Stewart, the 19-year-old slab artist for the Tar Heel team, struck out the first man jft ho faced him with three slings of the ball, until at 6:30 the last and batsman in a fatal twelfth had leen sent back to the bench. It was anybody's game. Four safe drives to the credit of the Virginians In the twelfth tell of the usual splendid Virginia rally, ' pro ductive of so many hard-won vic tories in the past. It was a hard game for Carolina to lose and had Stewart had errorless support It would not have been lost. Securing a lead of a run In the first Inning when Pitcher Stewart rapped out a two-base hit with Duncan on second who had been errored and sacrificed, Carolina bade fair to hold It. and did, until. In the eighth, by er ror of the right lU-lder, Walker was later given the chance to tie the score. From that moment each sec ond of the struggle was one of breathless euspense until the twelfth when Stewart, though game to the last, was "found" by the Virglnli sluggers. Walker, Virginia's star pitcher, who pitched a no-hit, no-run. not-a-man-to-first-base game axainst Colgate, being the seventh person In the world. It is said, to accomplish that feat, did not appear so Invincible at first, but grew stronger as the game progressed. In the matter of strike cuts his record ties that of Stewart, each fanning 8 men. Much uneasi ness was felt on account of the Ill ness of Hamilton. Carolina's star first baseman, who rose from a sick bed to play his position at first In his usual steady style. There was none to take his plar-e. A feature was a pretty throw of Fountain In left field, nabbing" Hoff .it home. Monro, be hind the bat, played a steady game for Carolina. An excursion from Chapel Hill this morning brought 300 students who, under able leadership, cheered with fine effect. The young ladies of the Normal College and those of G. F. C. turned out in large- numbers and raised by much the average looks of the crowd, which overflowed grand stand and bleachers and formed a great circle around the entire park. Though bitterly disappointed at their failure to wrest .ictory from the Virginians, the Carolina students took their defeat in good part. Time after time the Tar Heels had men on third and a pinch hit or two would have cinched their hold on tho scalp of their rival. . It was a coin cidence that both Virginia and North Carolina had each lost but two games, previously, Virginia having lost one of these to Yale. Umpire Earle Holt, a former Carolina cap tain, officiated to-day, giving general satisfaction. The game went this way: FIRST INNING. Virginia: Honaker was unable to find the ball at all and wa retired with three tosses of the spheroid. Plckford hit safe Into right field, does to the first base line and stole second.

His throw to first got by; Winn going to second. Hamilton ilammed one to' short, who retired the side. FOURTH INNING. Virginia: Pickford fanned. Dabney followed his precedent. Redhead faced redhead when Hoff walked up to the plate and sent a high fly into the territory back of second. Dun can gobbled It up. Carolina: Armstrong singled beau tifully to centre, Duls taking his place at first. Hackney pushed him to sec ond, dying at first. Fountain was out, second to first, Duls going to third. Lambeth fanned. FIFTH INNING. Virginia: Cablness pummeled the luminiferous ether, and that only. Hume sent one to Hamilton who toss ed him out to Stewart on first Stan ton went out, third to first. Carolina: Duncan flew out to left. Winn did the same to right Moore went out, second to first. fn the sixth Virginia scored not. For Carolina: Stewart fanned, Ham ilton got first and second on a wild throw from third, Lambeth relieving him at second. Armstrong was out second to first, Lambeth helping him self to third. Hackney flew out to third. SEVENTH INNING. Virginia- Dabney walked and stole second. Hoff fanned and made first on a passed ball, Moore throwing It to third in vain. Cablness popped out to Stewart. Hume went put on a high fly to third and the crowd yelled Joyously. The situation was not near so bilious.

Duncan was retired, pitcher to first. EIGHTH INNING Virginia: Pearson fanned fatally. Walker reached first on Lambeth's failure to nab a bouncing low one In right; Honaker sent a fly to right, Huckney and Lambeth running to gether and the ball falling safe. When the dust had lifted Honaker was hugging second and Walker third. Plckford hit to Hamilton, who fumbled but touched him, Walker scoring., Dabney flew out to second. The score was a tie. Carolina: With the band playing "The Old North State Forever." Winn went out, pitcher to first. Moore was out. short to first. Mid calls of "It's up to you, Reddy," the young slab artist flew out to left field, and there was nothing doing. NINTH INNING. Virginia: Hoff sent one slitzling In to the crowd in right field for two bases. Cablness singled to right. Hume flew out to first. Fltchett, bat ting In Stanton's place, sent a liner to Fountain, who raked it In and hurled it home, Moore nabbing the runner at the plate, amid universal Insanity. Carolina: Hamilton out, third to first Armstrong fanned. Hackney slammed one to centre-right for two bags. Fountain was out, short to first. TENTH INNING. Virginia: Pearson fanned.

Was Forfeited and Endeavors to Prove His Case. v Dr. John W. MacConnell, faculty representative In the Athletlo Asso ciation of Davidson, addresses the ap pended communication to The Ob server, giving his interpretation of the affair at Statesvllle Saturday when A. & M. forfeited a game to the Presbyterians, on a ruling of the um pire. The following la his explana tion: To the Sporting Editor of Ths Observer: It Is with no desire to enter into any controversy that I wish to make any explanation In regard to the Pa-vldson-A. t M. game which was for., felted to Davidson in Statesvllle last Saturday, but a simple explanation of the facta In the case will make it appear that not only waa Mr. Morri son, the umpire entrely right in his decision, but A. A M. should be cen sured even by their friends for try ing to win a game by irregular mein- ods. Frank Thompson. . the coach and trainer of the A. M. team, had no right on the coaching lines during the same, for he was neither a player nor a substitute player, and only a player tn uniform can occupy tne coaenmg lines during a game. His place was on the bench and he snouiu nave re mained there during the game. 6o he was illegally a coach without question, and recognised the truth of the statement when I called nis at tention to It. but said everything was all right so long as the umpire did not object. . Second, He was not only Illegally a coach, but he persisted In doing illegal coaching by refusing to remain In the coaching lines, and ulso tn coaching ths batter as to what ball the pitcher would use. The rules distinctly state (see Rule 58) that the coach must be a player of the team at bat, and that he must coach only the bees runner, and address f remarks and signs to no one else. Third. The signed contract be tween Davidson and A. & M. states that no hired coach can participate in the game, thus In Thompson's par ticipating In the game, he was vio lating the contract between the two teams. Finally. It is seen that th umpire wa entirely corfect In ordering him to the bench and that the proper thing for the captain of the A. M. team to do was tg send him to the bench, Instead of trying to bluff the umpire into changing his decision, for they evidently met the wrong man to bluff In the case of Mr. Morrison. A. V M. has a fine baseball team, there is no question of that, and they can win enough games without resorting to any Irregular - methods. Mr. Thompson i one of the best coaches in the State and is a close personal friend of the writer, and I mean to cast no reflection on him In any way, but only wish to object to the spirit of "win at any coet" which seems to pervade his team, for college athle tics exist to Instill Ideals Into young men which will be of benefit to them in after life, and not tend to dishonest methods. JOHN W. M'CONNELL. M. D , Faculty Representative In Athletics Davidson College. ERRORS BRING CRITICISM. Yet Without Them Game Would Be Less Exciting:. When a player makes an effort to make a play which could squelch the advance of the opposition, and it hap pens to full, there is always more or less criticism of his act, says the Washington Pot. Thrs, because too much Is usually expected of the Individual. If It were not for errors which bsseball Is re plete with It would not be a popular sport. Errors are Just as essential in the uncertainty of the game as base hits and strike-outs. If every man who faced the pitcher could drive the ball into fair territory what sort of entertainment would the game fur nish? And, on the other hand, if the pitcher struck out every one or the fielders never blundered, it would be a rather tiresome affair, this baseball proposition. Plays which require quick thought and action frequently go wrong, and when they do, one side or the other benefits thereby. But the player w-ho makes th mlsplay la really entitled to a lot of censure. The fact of the matter is that It Is nothing short of marvelous what a man can accomplish on the ball field. There Is not a single day during the season that the spectators do not sea more pluys that deserve applause than they do mlsplays that call for criti cism. "I'D RATHER. DIE. DOCTOR. ' thn have my feet cut oft." said M. L. Bingham, of Princeville. 111., "but you'll die from grangrene i which had eaten y eight toes) If you don't," said all doctor.
