By H. G. Connor.
Atlanta, Ga., May 7th.
After an all-night's sleepless trip
over the Southern the ball team reach
ed Atlanta this morning- at 5 a. m.
and was driven at once to the Kimball
.
House. A short nap and visit to tne
principal parts of the city occupied
the greater part of the morning-.
Immediately after dinner the team
was driven to the Brisbine Park
grounds and lined up , for practice.
The Georgia team reached Atlanta
Thursday and practised on the Park
diamond the same afternoon. Our
team is not in the best of shape, still
somewhat jaded by the trip of the
night before. 1
I The grand stand is packed with the
jlargest crowd of the season, fully
hwentyofive hundred enthusiasts fill
ling the bleachers to witness the great
fame between the two Southern uni

and flags wave here and there, show
ing gaily in the sun. This morning
the team was presented with a beauti
ful basket of flowers with the com
pliments of Mrs. May Burnett Cobb.

In Last Week's
Game Was Small.
It Was Sad. Sadder Because Frank
lin Was Assisted by Wake
Forest.
The 'Varsity gave an exhibition
of fine ball playing in the game
with the Franklin, Va., team on
Tuesday afternoon.
This time there was no weaken
ing from beginning to end, but all
the team played together in a man
ner seldom seen this year, with the
result that , they walked over the
Franklin-Wake Forest combination
to the tune of 180. -
The visitors had three of the
strongest Wake Forest players to
help, them, namely Edwards, Wil-j
liams and Norfleet,' but it availed
nothing against the 'Varsity. While
all our men played good ball, Capt
Stanly was easily the "star," and
was continually cutting off hits and
otherwise deporting himself be
tween second and third bases in a
manner to take one's breath away.
His hitting and base running were
both up to the top notch too, so that
on the whole he gave our friends
from Virginia quite a brilliant dis
play of skillful, scientific ball play
ing.
Rogers made a beautiful play in
right field in the seventh inning;
when he gathered in a clean hit and
cut off the runner at first base.
Williams and Mangum did good
work in the box for Carolina, only
one hit being gotten off of each of
them.
Franklin went to the bat first;
but went out 'in one, two, three or
der, and continued the performance
almost without let-up till the last
man was out in the ninth inning. 1

Fab Haywood of Raleigh Does a
Hundred Yard Dash In Ten
1 Seconds.
Mr.; Mechling did well in select
ing last Saturday for Field Day.
It could not have been prettier over
head and under foot the track was
fast but a little too hard.
Virginia heretofore was in the
lead in each of the six events, but
now they need six inches on the pole
vault, two seconds ou the 220 yard
run, four feet on the hammer throw
and several seconds on each the
high hurdles and 440 yard run.
Every undertaking must have its
beginning and if we are to consider
the results of last Saturday's con
tests as "starters
what glory and
honor is laid up for the old Tar
Heel University. , The events and
results were as follows:
100 Yard Dash. Haywood, first
time 10 seconds; McEachern
2nd; Osborne, 3rd.
Pole Vault Harris, 1st, height,
8 ft 10 inches; Wright, R. 2nd.
220 Yards Haywood 1st time,
23 3-4 seconds; McEachern 2nd; Os
borne fell twenty feet from the wire
when in second place.
Hammer Throw Monk, H. L.,
1st, 87 feet 7 inches; Baggett, 84 ft
10 inches; Canada, P., 72 ft. 6 inches
Pond, G. B. 4th place.
High Hurdle (120) Harris C. E.,
1st, 21 1-5 seconds; Follin fell at
next to last hurdle when a full hur
dle in the lead.
440 Yards McEarchern 1st, 46
4-5 seconds; Pond 2nd.

The Georgia Trip.
In Atlanta Frank Rogers sang
"Marching through Georgia," and
the patriotic Crackers hissed. The
Georgia boys were losing breath run
ning around the field. A fly over
Whitaker's head' in deep centre, a
bouncing fly out of McKee's reach and
a muff by our business manager let in
seven runs. How can you blame him
for muffing occasionally? Throw your
$1.50 subscription at him and keep
him in in practice.
The team stopped at the Kimball in
Atlanta, but Winston, it is said, tried
to get lodging in a railroad ticket of
fice.
All the erirls on Peach tree Street
thought Whitaker and Bailey stunn
ing- in "their"(?) golfs. They coumn t
understand why Mangum never wore
them.
In Athens McKee and Belden tried
to find the Turks.
