Red Birds Play Errorless
Game Against the Farmers
Dick Crozier's Red Birds made
their debut before the Raleigh sport
ing public in a creditable manner
yesterday afternoon by administering
a shut out dose to the Farmers. But
for the disgusting kicking bee, which
consumed over ten minutes of valu
able time in the second inning, the
game was spirited and full of inter
est throughout. Such conduct was
by no means a wise move on the part
of the Red Birds.
' Yesterday's game was a complete
reversal of the initial game between
the same teams last year, when the
Farmers were victorious by a major
ity of about 1,000, more or less.
Bid Pope was granted his request to
be allowed to work against his "hoo
doo" team, and he took advantage of
the privilege by administering a shut
out dose to the Farmers. His work
was of his usual high order, never
letting an opponent get farther than
second base and allowing only five
well scattered hits. When he stepped
into the box, the A. & M. rooters felt
sure that there would be another
scalp hanging to the Farmers' belt at
the close of the contest, but as the
innings went on, and the collegians
failed to get in hailing distance of
the much coveted rubber, they were
made to fully realize that Crozier's
confidence in the Harnett county boy
was not misplayed and that he was
there with the goods. With a team
that he could" feel confident of giv
ing, him good support. Pope's work
was of a much higher d'ass than
when he wore a Wake Forest uni
form. The magnificent playing of tire Red
Birds in the field and their running
bases brought joy to the hearts of the
r local fans, who now feel quite confi
dent that they will be contenders for
the rag. Not a Blgn of an error on
their part was visible during the en
tire nine innings, every ground ball
being fielded with ease and grace and
thrown to first before the runners
had covered half the distance. Each
and every one of the inflelders did
himself credit, but Brumfield was the
candy kid, He made three put outs
and six assists In such sensational
manner that some of the fans have
not ceased to marvel over his )taying
yet. He fielded every one of his
chances clean and hurled' them to
first like a shot out of a cannon.
Neither of the outfielders had a hard
chance. Each of them, however,
gathered in everything that came in
his- vicinity.
Dutch Irwin won himself a home
by his consistent handling of the wil
low. Out of four times up, he swat
ted the horsehide for a three-sacker,
two singles and hit the fourth at the
shortstop hard enough to knock an
ordinary man down. He also caught
a nice game but his wing was not
quite in trim. When that gets in
good condition he may be expected to
Bet this league on fire.
The Farmers didn't seem to play
their usual1 game, Pap Harris- receiv
ing miserable support at times when
errors meant runs. Even with his
miserable support, Pap pitched a
good game and would have fared
much better had his teammates been
contented with a berth on terra firma
instead of taking a flight to the aerial
heights. ;" ' .
The Red Bins scored first in the
third. Hoffman was given a walk;
Crozler sacrificed; Brumfield died via
short to first, Hoffman going to third;
Murray hit between short and third,
scoring Hoffman; Hoover hit just In
side third base line; Wright ended
the inning by fanning.
Another tally came In the fourth.
Brouthers fanned; Irwin singled over
second, stole second; Pope skied out
to centre; Hoffman hit a Bcorcher
down the first base line, which was
too wide and hot for Fox to handle,
Irwin scoring from second; Crozler
, died short to first.
In the seventh the Red Birds add
ed their last two tallies. Hoffman
popped tip to Seifert; crozler was
safe on Black's error, stole second;
Brumfield bit to short, who let it
pass between his pedal! extremities,
Crozler scoring; Murray hit to Black
and died at first on the throw to first,
Brumfield started towards third, and
In attempting to catch him, Fox
threw wild arid Brumfield scored.
Hoover (tied to short.

Wasn't it a pity that the Red Birds'
very first exhibition before a local as
semblage should be marred by a wot
of unnecessary and disgusting kick
ing. Even granting that Mr. Umps
was wrong, which is very seriously
doubted by a great many of those
who were watching the game very
closely, there was no reason in the
world for the players to gather
around him and give vent to a bunch
of absolutely unnecessary expostula
tion. The local fans and fannies
have become tired of too much kick
ing already this season and any great
amount, even on the part of our own
Red Birds, will be relished by none.
Let us hope that this unfortunate oc
currence wIT. not occur again.

Some ginger on the infield yester
day, and it added lots to the interest
in the game.' When a team goes
through nine' innings like they are
"dead ones" or dummies, it is most
discouraging to the fans. Keep the
good work up, boys. It will pay all
the time.
"How many shortstops like Brum-
field are there in this old world?"!
queried an enthusiastic fan. Well,:
there are none that could have put up !
a better exhibition than be did yes- ,

ways and five hundred strong.

"Isn't he a little dan. ing," is the J
way one of the fair rooterines in the
grand stand referred to Hoffman yes
terday wln-n he slid into third base
in the fourth inning.
Brouthers is making good at the
first station all right, knockers to the
contrary notwithstanding.-. His work
yesterday all around was classy, and'
he will show up still better .as- the
season progresses.
"That three bagger by Irwin was
worth the price of admission, and his
slide to second in the fourth was
worth double the price," declared one
enthusiastic fan who loosened up for
two admissions and the grand stand.
A goodly number of ladies honor
ed the Red Birds' first game with
their presence. Come again, you not
only inspire the iJ.ayers to do their
best, but you keep the game upon a
higher plane. Incidentally you help
the finances.
Bud Hinton's score board was
pressed into service for the first time
yesterday. Didn't those nine goose
eggs look good?
Haas left Dayton, O., this morning
and will arrive in Raleigh about Sat
urday. He comes with a man's size
reputation and must go some to keep
It up. Here's hoping.
The Red Birds are In Durham
again today, probably showing the
Methodists a few more things about
real baseball. That squeeze play
made a hit tast Saturday.

With the exception of Pitcher Levy,

the men ordered to report for the
Wilmington baseball team have ar

While it is yet too early to give

A Durham correspondent to The
Kvenlng Times says:
"Although the Philadelphia Na
tionals played here this spring, It may
be said without the Lightest hesita
tion that Raleigh has the fastest team
that has ever worked on the local dia
mond. Trinity was never more sur
prised in the history of the Institu
tion than when it became apparent
that Raleigh was the real stuff. The
Methodist were unprepared for such
sensational playing." ,
We are glad to hear it, brother,
and It shows you've captured one

don't you think lie dwelt too much on
the fact that It was surprising that
Raleigh was the , real stuff? But
that's Durham; However, we glory

Haleigh was bi'.anked twice by the

you will not do any great amount of
glorying when Raleigh strikes Rocky
Mount. Thanks for your good will.
