Sexton Administers Shut ALMOST every "oc casion" is an occa sion to present a box of NUNNALLY'S. If you call take it. After church, before a dance, between the acts, on the train, or for a birthday, NUNNALLY'S is the one gift which ypu al ways know will always Let ua hope that today's same with Trinity will not be as disastrous as last year's contest, which gave the knockers such a good start that some of them never stopped until about Christmastime. The boys went off with the deter mination to make It at least interest ing, If not to win. Trinity la of course-a strong college aggregation and has a great twlrler in Gant, but then the best of them can be beaten. Yesterday's rehearsal showed- a steady Improvement In all of the Red Birds, it being very apparent that Crozier is going to have a hard time in deciding who to can when the time comes.' White, the young southpaw who blew In Wednesday afternoon, warm ed ud a little, and acemed to have the goods. He has plenty of smoke, although sma'.r as he is, and has a good assortment of " curves. These handouts, coupled with the fact that he is a southpaw, will surely cause a fall in somebody's batting average this season. And he isn't the only one that can do the flinging In a high class manner. There are others at home just like him. .': ' : "Several prominent colored baseball OUt DOSe tO Midshipmen be appreciated. But- (Special to The Times.) Annapolis, Md., April- 30 The North Carolina Agricultural and Me chanical College, with Sexton in the box. was too much for the Midship men in yesterday's game of baseball, the Aggies winning by the score of 5 to 0. ' The game was well played by'both sides, the A. & M. team, however, showed up to a greater advantage than, the Middies. Sexton, the visi tors' pitcher, was master of the sit uation throughout the entire game. Only in one inning did his opponents have a chance to score. In the eighth inning they secured two hits, ' but then the Tar Heel twirler settled down to business and there was simply nothing doing In the scoring line. Sexton's control was remark able, while he used his sharp curves and 'speed with great effectiveness, the Middles only securing three meas ly hits off him. A. & M.'s playing was of a high order, every man doing himself credit. Black and Brown were the wlelders of the willow for the visitors, both getting two hits each. Black's hits were made In both innings that his team scored, he himself scoring two supporters have requested the base-! of tne runs, ball association to enlarge their : The result of the contest was fore bleachers andput some kind of a told ln tne fourth inning, when the shelter over it The officials have , Farmers made a total of four runs, signified their Intention of doing this! Brown singled past short; Hartsel tor's were crippled and that thqlr star pitcher was sick had pfecededhem to Annapolis. But their exhibition today entirely offset this rumor. They might have been crippled when they left home, but now they are any thing else. The Tabulated Score, A. & M. Freeman, c. f. . Brown, r. f. . . Hartsel, s. s. . Black, 3b. . . . . Thompson, lb.

His many friends in this city will regret to learn that Will Wynne, who is signed to play with Spartanburg, in the Carolina Association, has been quite 111 in that city and has been in capacitated for service the entire sea son. He is improving now, but It will be some time before he will be able to play again. It's ; right hard to believe, but Greensboro has won a game. Qetter late than never! Do you reckon that Fayettevllle realizes what they are going to run up against In this league, especially when they strike the capital city? A Fayettevllle fan has had the audac ity to make a wager with a Raleigh fan that Fayettevllle will take the first game of the season from the Red Birds Not satisfied with the wager, he relieved his system of a lot of rot about Fayettevllle being in the running at the end of the sea son. Wonder when he will awake from his sweet Blumber? Big Ed Walsh, who has been hold ing out for a higher salary, has join ed the Chicago White Sox. Walsh has been the mainstay of the club's pitching staff, and by many critics of baseball is held to be the equal, if not the superior, of. any pitcher In the business. Johnny Kling, backstop of the Chi cago Nationals, Is in a happy frame of mind. King received a letter from . President Murphy, of the Cubs, grant ing him an indefinite leave of ab sence. This means that he can rt- . main in Kansas City and manage hts billiard hall this season and, report . to the Cubs next season in good standing if he cares to play baseball again. This action makes Kllnj ex empt from the rule that a player must report or be suspended for five years. And Fayettevllle hasn't decided on a name for Its club yet; and the Fay ettevllle Observer has been full of suggestions for - many days. As a rose by any other name would smell - aa tweet, ao a baseball club under any name would play ball as well. -This newspaper contest for a name reminds us of a Similar one last year when the, Red Heads was selected.

The Eastern Carolina League has never been honored by a team known as the Red Heads. That an cient history and other stuff about It being unkind to relate how the Red Heads finished, etc., is probably in tended to apply to the Red Sox. ; But then you deserve to be excused on account of It being well known that you always turn your attention to higher things. , Sox are too low for comment from your dope vocabulary. The Raleigh Times wants to know If there will be any left after Crolius finishes his-weeding? Why, of course, brother, and let not your heart be troubled, for Raleigh won't end the first week of the league with a thousand pcrcentago, unless rain checks are scattered galore down this way the last three days of that week.

Goldsboro's representatives on the diamond that have so far reported were out as usual yesterday after noon despite thrt- numerous showers of rain ;that fell. Miller certainly does not let a thing like the weather bother him and his men in their ef fort to get Into condition., This year's team gives promise of being very fast on the bases and all that were out yesterday hit the ball on the nose on each one of their trips to the plate. Kelly looks like a "find" on third base, and that Is where we were weak last season. He was with Jersey City last spring, and had several of fers this year, but we were able to get him through Miller, who persuad ed him to come here. "' Too much cannot be said of the men, as they are all hard and' earnest workers, and have lots of pepper, and a constant flow of talk can be heard from them all. Miller says he likes to hear a man have something to say ! during a game, as that keeps life in a team. ;','":.;"'' The rest should be coming in at most any time now. Goldsbpro Ar gus. .i Has there ever been a greater dis appointment in baseball than that Cleveland : team. Every spring La joie's men are picked as sure pen nant winners, because of the wonder ful strength the team shows on paper, and yot It nover lands. This year, with Cy Young added to the Traps' pitching staff, a walk-over waB pre dicted for them, and yet this morning finds this all-star combination only a few points ahead of the luckless Nationals. ' A HOY'S HOLIDAY. The ardent controversy which lias been waging in England and America concerning the best way to dispose of school boys in the long summer va cation has prompted the Grand Trunk Railway System to issue a spe cial publication giving suggestions and practical bints to parents, as to what to do with the public and pre paratory school boy during the months of July and August. The va cation camp In one of the solutions and the publications entitled,: "What shall a boy do with his Vacation" thoroughly covers the ground and solves the problem of the best way for a school boy to enjoy, his "holi days..'

The team Is sure to get going later on, but with so strong a team at his command, slumps aiv rot consld ered excusable for Lajoio. If the Naps should make a failure of it again this year, it is a good guess that the Cleveland club own era will come to the realization that, while a great ball player, Lajoie Is not of the right temperament to han dle a ball team. He lacks aggres siveness, and Is too easy with his men. Incidentally, Lajoie would be a better player If relieved of the management of the team. But he has proven a great attraction for the club, because of his reputation and only because it was feared that this would be lessened if some one other than the great Napoleon was In charge of the team has he been kept there.

Wake Forest, N. C, April 20 The track meet which should have been held in Raleigh tomorrow between A. & M. and Wake Forest has been called off by A. & M. A meet should have taken place here between the two colleges aMrch 27th, but was called off by A. & M. on account of an automobile accident and a sprained ankle. Last aSturday, a few hours before a meet should have taken place, was received from A. & M., saying: "Captain and four1 men in hospital." Impossible to come." This time they say the team has disband ed. Wake Forest now holds the state championship, but the members of the team wore anxious for another contest, expecting to leave the field with improved records. Of course A. & M. could not have won, since that college wns at the foot of the list in the state meet and Wake For est first, and this probably accounts for the number of broken contracts, Prof. J.
