Red Birds Had Hard Battle to ;
Win Came ItoQ-firstQame""9' UU of ritnt
in Raltiqh Monday Biggest ' fat Wttk la tbe
Attendance Iyer Seen
"Your team outclassed ours
and you have nothing to be a
shamed of. You've got an ag
gregation of b&ll players rigrht,"
was the frank concession of
Raleigh fans Monday afternoon
after the Raleigh Red Birds had
been up against tbe Jrayetteville
Highlanders In the opening game
of the season on tlu Capital City
diamond beiore wnat was said to
be the largest crowd that ever
attended a baseball game at the
A. & M. College erounds. Ral
eigh had boasted that she was
going to have a walk-over bat at
the end of the seventh inning
there wa no sign that she was
going to put a man across the
home plate, and when the game
was called Raleigh had made but
one run anu mat on an error
the only error Fayettevilie made,
while Raleigh made two. but
fortunately for her she made her
errors at times when they were
not disastrous. The final score
wa3 one to nothing in favor of
Raleigh, but the game was such
as to win the admiration and
respect of the entire League for
the Highlanders. That opening
game convinced every team in
the league that Fayettevilie is
going to be hard to handle.
Hurrah for the Highlanders!
The error that cost Fayettevilie
the game, in spite of ail of her
perfect playing besides, was
made by Fullmer, third baseman,
who threw wild to first and al
lowed Hoffman to score the only
run made in the game.
rollowing are some excerpts
trom the news and Observer s
splendid report of the game
Fayettevilie sent a Mg dele
gation of fans to Raleigh on
sitecial and regular trains, and
the Fayettevilie folks' hones were
nign. ii was tyDinea dv a smiad
of four, who, with bright, new
intermittent alarm clocks that
buzzed frequently, walked the
streets bearing placards which
read 'Wake up, Raleigh, Fayette
vilie u here
The attendance was declired
by old stager fans and experts to
be the largest ever seen on the
A. and M. Athletic field. The
big grand stand and all the
bleachers were jammed not a
