A crowd estimated at 4,000 saw the great contest and cheered wildly at every favoarble oppor tunity of the Carolinians, the greatest ovation going to Lee in the first inning, when with run ners on third and second and one man down he struck out N'erT and Carter. In the seventh, when Carolina scored and threatened to tie, Rixey duplicated Lee's feat, striking out Lee and Page with two bases occupied. Was a Pitchers' Battle. The game was a pitchers' bat tle from every standpoint, with the honors in Rixcy's favor. Uoth struck out nine men, but Lee al lowed three to go to first by balls or being hit. as against Rixcy's two, and also gave up seven hits ayainst five. The reputed heavy liittcrt of the Carolina nine were helpless before Rixey, who in the early' stages retired the' sid ;in one- two tltr'ee order. In ihe fifth Leak broke the monotony, for the Carolina in going up and coining back with a lucky hit over sec ond. Winstcad singled and Leak was thrown out at second. Hits by the same two men in the sev enth, with Finley's bad throw to second, gave Carolina her only run. How Virginia Won on Poor Throw. Virginia's runs came in tlie fourth. Neff struck out and Car ter apparently swung at the third strike. Umpire Henderson ruled that he did not strike and later Carter went to first on four balls. Fitchett struck out for the sec ond out, scoring Carter. Landes hit a short fly to right, which, fell safe, and McGuire scored from second by a poor relay throw of Hanes. Rixey was an easy out. Carolina Played Errorless Game. Two errors were charged to the Virginians, while the Caro lina team played faultlessly. Win stead's running one-hand catch of a line drive by Finley was the only fielding feature of a sensa tional nature. The outfielders had little to do, most of the hit balls being on the ground and being closely handled bv the infields. . BRANDT FOR SENATE. I desire to endorse Mr. L. J.

However, the latter are very determined and under the stimulus of good sup port from the side lines may somewhat surprise the visitors. A prospective Winston league player will be on the mound for Whitsett, familiarly known as "reddy" Ray. He is supported by an infield some of whom are trying out for leagues. This team has not been beaten this year and has been scored upon only twice while Ray has not struck out less than 17 in any game. This will be the strongest vis iting team here this season. The expenses of playing will be heavy and we ask everybody for their most loyal and hearty support.' Admission: Adults, 25c; school children, 15.; ladies free.
