She Bat by my side on the bleachers,
And she wore a monstrous hat
That shut off the view of half the
.field, ..
- But 'she didn't care for that.
She asked where the pitcher threw
the ball,
And what made the batter bat;
I couldn't reply and watch the game,
But she didn't care for that.'
She wanted to know why nine men
played, .
And what was the game of "cat."
I told her to watch the fielder's work,
But she didn't care for that.

I thought the limit was over-reached
' When the umpire yelled at Mat,
And queered bis play by a crooked
rule.
But she didn't care for that.
The bleachers arose, but while they
howled,
She stuck a pin In her hat;
And I almost swooned to hear her say:
"Oh, why do they yell like that?"

swing of the circuit.
Extensive mention has been made
before of Hoovers' phenomenal work.
Brumfleld is playing better ball today
than he ever showed before, even
when a star with Greenville: His
batting yesterday was robust enough
to split (he steel plate of a battle
ship, while his base-running, fielding
and general repertoire have lifted
him several1 notches above the fold.
And Murray has kept pace with
his two pals. His work around sec
ond will no doubt set a new standard
for this league. Hardly a game goes
by that hlstrustwagon-tonguedoesu't
crash into the horsehide and chase
one or more runners across.

There doesn't seem to be much
doubt about Kid Dawson's ability to
make good. The way In which he
swats a ball and his great fielding
makes him look like a mainstay.
Here's hoping!
Disheartened by three succes

The Raleigh Baseball Club is for
tunate and unfortunate. Fortunate
in having a nucleus of such good
men to choose a team from; unfortu
nate in having so many more first
class men than there are positions to
give them. The sulary limit, which Is
only $1,250, compels Manager Croz-

let go six high-class ball players,

TRINITY COLLEGE!
Bob Gantt, who was expected to do
the twirling stunt for the Methodists,
was not in condition, and Worley was
sent to slaughter. His handouts just
suited the Red Birds' appetite, and
when the melee was over there were
registered to Dick Crozler's boys eleven
safe blngles, three of them being for
three sacks, while the same number
were good for two sacks. Besides the
ineffective pitching of Worley, the
Trinity team did not put up its usual
exhibition in the field. Five bad er
rors, all of them costly, were marked
up against them.
The Red Birds performed in their
usual good form, not a sign of an er
ror being made by any one of them.
Brandon pitched a steady game and
was never in serious danger of being
scored upon. The five bingles that
the Methodists made off him were
well scattered and did not cause any

The game, as the score well shows,
was decidedly one-sided and uninter
esting from a neutral standpoint.
But, from a Red Bird standpoint of
view, it was very interesting to see
that Crozier had rounded his team In

the firing line. And not only has he
improved in his pitching, but is learn
ing rapidly to field his position. Six
assists and one put out, which was
made by covering first on a bunt, is
not bad by a long shot. Did you get
your peepers on that bunt of his yes
terday? It would have done credit
to either Crozier or Dawson, who are
both artists in the bunting line.
The most remarkable contrast be
tween this year's team and last year's
aggregation is their ability to play in
side baseball. Even when the team
has taken a slump in hitting, this in
side baseball has been known to win
game after game. Along this line the
Red Birds yesterday pulled off two
squeeze plays, a double steal, the hit
and run game, and several other ex
hibitions of this best method of run
getting. Crozier made a flying catch of a
drive in front of those dear right
field bleachers that merits the de
scriptive word "thrilling." It was in
the ninth Inning. Trinity had no
outs and ; no one on base. Cooper
Bent a stinging line drive directly to
wards the bleachers. Crozier, who
was playing deep centre, ran over to
get lt. It was heard on all hands,
"That's good for two bags. He won't
get in a mile of that. Gee, ain't lie
going ater it.tc." Dick ran on. He
must have seen vaguely, or felt that
he was nearlng the bottom seat of
the ' much-ln-the-way . bleachers.
Stooping over as far' as possible, he
put out his right hand to break his
collision with the ground or those
bleachers, and held his glove to catch
the ball. The ball dropped Into It,
and JuBt as lt was on the rebound he
brought his right band Into service
and held onto It, completing one of
the most sensational jjlays of the sea
son. Dick also made nis aeDui wun
the willow yesterday. Three hits,
one of which was a two-bagger, and a
sacrifice, are credited to his prowess.
Mighty good. Don't stop the good
work. ' , ,
Without detracting In any way
from the fine work of the rest of the
team, probably the main cause of the
Red Birds' great showing thus far
can best be attributed to one big fea
ture the remarkable development
and ball playing extraordinary of
Messrs. Hoover, Brumfleld and Mur
ray. Th!s trio of athletes has bound
ed into the spot light with a dizzy
rush that upset all' calculations. They

Winston-Salem. Pearce, Sobeyroux,
White, Hampton, and Brouthers- will
also be allowed to fly 'the -coop.
Hammond came to town yesterday
after his release, so that he could
accept a position with another team.
All of these men are far. above the
average Class D ball players, and are
discarded because Raleigh has been
very fortunate In securing a corps of
extraordinary men to wear the Red
Birds uniforms.
Bowers, the merry widow third
baseman that was loaned to Crozier
by Winston-Salem, will be returned
to Manager Carter. Bowers is such
good material that, it seems a pity to
have to let him go. He plays .' third
base in grand style, plays the inside
game, is a good hitter and a good
base-runner. It would be a wise
move Indeed for any other manager
in th's league to secure his services.
Brouthers is us good as most- any
first-baseman in the league last year,
but on account of Haas' experience
and ability on the: initial sack he
must also be allowed to depart to
other regions, He, too, would make
somebody a valuable man. The oth
ers who will joint the pink slip brig
ade are good ball players and fine fel
lows. It is sincerely hoped they will
land at some good place.
Wright, who can play any position
in either the infield or outfield, will
be kept for a utility man. Rummy
Wrenn will come over from Chapel
Hill on Saturday. He is in better
condition than ever, and will be kept
for catcher and utility man.
