UASE-BALL.
The annual series of two games
of base-ball between the Univer
sity of Vermont and U. N. C. was
played in Charlotte on 5th and
6th insts. The game of the 5th
was spoken of by the Charlotte
Observer as a " comedy of errors, ' '
and verily it was. The game was
Carolina's until the ninth inning,
when, by loose, playing, they sim
ply gave Vermont the game.
One was reminded of the .first
Lehigh game, when in the ninth
inning the score was twelve to
five in our favor. With two men
out Lehigh scored two runs by our
boys' loose playing. Then the
game was ours anyway, and it
seemed a matter of little conse
quence, but in this case the score
was six to five in our favor. Our
boys fell to pieces when they
couldn't afford it. Two of the
Vermont men had fanned out, and
then they made two runs and won
the game.
Stephens pitched a good game,
but was poorly supported. The
team played without any snap
whatever. The hitting was very
poor and the fielding worse. The
score by innings was as follows:
North Carolina took the baton
toss. Robertson led off with a
pop-up fly, which was taken in
by Woodward. Gregory, hit by
pitcher, gets his base. Lanier
cracks out a base-hit to right field,
which passes through Stephens,
and Gregory scores and before the
ball is secured Lanier reaches
second. Honeycutt, by a sacri
fice hit, advances Lanier to third.
On a wild pitch by Pond Lanier
scores. Henan is struck out and
retires the side.
Allen comes to the bat for the
Green Mountain boys and is given
his base on balls. Pond also gets
base on balls. On passed, ball
Allen attempts to cross the plate,
but is put out by Stephens. Pond
advances to third. Balcolm's fly
is caught by Gregory 011 second.
Woodward's grounder to first
passes through Honeycutt, and is
secured by Gregory, who makes
a wild throw to first and Wood
ward reaches third. Corley fouls

inning the "comedy of errors"
began, which resulted in a tragedy
for U. N. C. Pond hit a high
fly to Robertson, W., in centre,
who was asleep, and although the
ball hit in his hands, before he
awoke it had struck the ground.

Here the ninth opens. Pre
pare to shed tears gentle reader.
Stanly went out on a liner to
Woodward, who threw him out
to Allen. Stephens rolled one to
Pond, who sauntered up to first
and handed it to Allen. Robert
sou, W., was put out by Allen
unassisted.
Look at this, Vermont comes
up with defeat already upon their
brow; but no, they were destined
to be pleasantly surprised. They
reached in the grab basket and
pulled a bundle of victory.
Hear it ye Gods, Daggett strikes
out; Stephens strikes out; and
Allen, he walks to the plate, and
goes to first on four balls. Pond
hits a beautiful high fly to Kenan,
who is wrapped in the arms of Mor
pheus; the ball strikes the earth
with a dull thud, is thrown wild,
and all is over for University North
Carolina. , Score University
North Carolina, 6; Vermont, 7.

SECOND GAME.
The result of the second day's
game proved that the North Car
olina team fairly out-classed the
Green Mountain boys. They
showed that they were sluggers
by making seventeen base hits ofF
Mr. Lou Cooke, the gentleman
whose ' ' daily food is rattle-snakes,
forked-lighting, pin-wheels and
merry-go-round." The fielding
of both teams was good Kenan
fully atoned for his errors of the
preceding day by gathering in
everything that came near hirn
and making two beautiful run
ning catches. Robertson, W.,
made one of his phenomenal
catches and got in a double play,
throwing out Pond on second.
Stephens played good ball at third,
and Oldham on first was out of
sight.
The game was called at 3.45
by Mr. Harrell, umpire, with Car
olina at the bat. Robertson, W. ,
leads off with a base hit to right
and steals second. Gregory gets
his base on balls. Cooke makes
a wild pitch and Robertson goes
to third. Lanier hits Cooke for
a two-bagger to right and Robert
son and Gregory both cross the
rubber. The crowd goes wild.
Lanier steals third, and scores on
wild pitch. Honeycutt gets "his
base on balls. Kenan makes a
base hit .to left. Robertson, R.,
fouls to catch and is out. Old
ham's base hit to left. Stanley's
