Carolina Wakes Up and Shakes off clothes on and the exercise given by
Her "Hoodoo, Winning Two i them to the entire St. Albans team
Games From St. Albans and
Defeating Randolph
Macon With Ease.
Carolina played ball last week
and played good ball as the scores
of the several frames plainly tell.
The hocdoo that has so persistent
ly hung over our team was broken
and they took ! th ree successi ve
games, each game being character
ized by the pretty fielding- and the
hard and continuous hitting of the
locals. ,
The first game was played with
St. Albans last Thursday after
noon. This game was interesting
from start to finish, and all the
more so because with it Carolina
broke the losing streak that had
followed her so continuously, win
ning the game by the decisive score
of twelve to six. Sitton, St. Al
bau's pitcher, demonstrated himself
a slab artist of the very highest or
der, but Carolina got together and
the result of the game was never
in doubt-after the second inning.
Carolina scored two runs in ,the
first inning.six in the second, one
, in the sixth, two' in the eighth and
one in the ninth inning-. St. Al
bans scored two in the first, two in
the eighth, and one in the ninth.
Among the features of the game
were sensational one-hand catches
by Worth and Donnelly for Caro
lina, and the batting of Holt and
'Sitton for St. Albans. Earl Holt,
our last year's crack first baseman,
held down the receiving end for tin1
Virginians, and it is needless to say
that "Slats" acquitted himself in
masterly style. Batteries Caro
lina: Oldham, G., and Noble; St:
Albans: Sitton and Holt.

in chasing the balls from one cor
ner of the lot to the other was of
a most beneficial nature. .
The game was slow from begin
ning to end, the visitors being clear
ly outclassed. Carolina scored one
in the first inning, one in the sec
ond, three in the fourth, four in the
fifth, six in the sixth, three in the
seventh, and two in the ninth. St.
Albans scored three in the second
inning, one in the third and three
in the ninth, Hobgood forcing in
these last on account of a wet ball.
"Hobbie" pitched a very good game
except for a little lack' of control at
certain stages. Fourteen strike
outs, twenty-one. hits, twenty runs
and four errors were made by Caro-.
lina, while St. Albans made four
strike-outs, five hits, seven runs
and seven errors. Batteries Caro

Summer, Ball Playing.
The following rule was adopted
by the Faculty on Monday after
noon: "A student who has played on a
summer base ball team prior to 1904
and ' has received no compensation
whatever except transportation,
board and lodging is eligible. But

Conflagration.
The peaceful quiet of our little
village was rudely broken into yes
terday afternoon by loud cries of
"Fire!" and the sound of bombs
bursting in air. The streets were
soon filled with an eager throng
hurrying to the scene of the confla
gration. The city fire department
was seen playing- streams of water
upon the Kluttz block and out of
Doc's shoe store issued forth clouds
of smoke while in the rear the fire
works stored there were raising'
merry Cain. Skyrockets whizzed
and gleamed while an occasional
cannon-cracker went off with a sul
len roar. - The strident commands
of Doc Kluttz, mingled with the
sharp, staccato shrieks of Willie B.
Sorrel, were heard far ab .ve the
tumult. However, the blaze was
soon extinguished and no great dam
age was done except by water,
which was spread on in copious
streams. Mnnv theories were ad
vanced as to the origin of the fire;
one being that it arose from spon
taneous combustion among Doc
Kluttz's straw hats, which are of
the vintage of 1609. Another the
ory, which had able supporters,
was. that Willie B. was rubbing his
head, and a spark emitted therefrom
ignited Doc Kluttz's store of fire
works, which broke loose with, a
rattling, crash and much rough
house. ,
Those most prominent in extin
guishing the conflagration were
Messrs John Archibald Parker,
'06. and Marshail Renfro Glenn,
'03. Mr. Parker in particular bore
himself nobly throughout the ex
citement and deserves great credit
for his heroic efforts. Mr. Glenn
said with some show of feeling that
"if they had let me and Hester have
our yvjay we would have put the fire
out at first." Mr. Glenn has the
sympathy of the entire community
someone is always butting in and
interfering with cooler heads.
The Track Meet.

inning, one in the sixth and one in
the eighth. Summarized briefly,

Last Friday the Advisory Com

the advice of Coach Brown, they

Monday beforehand decided to send
a relay team, a hundred yard dash
man and a hurdle man to the Inter
collegiate meet to be held in Phila
delphia on next Saturday. The
University will probably enter first
class in the 100 yard dash and hur
dle, and about fifth class in the
relay races, running against Penn
sylvania State College, Johns Hop
kins, Carlisle Indians and several
other colleges of the northeast.
The relay race ; in this class was
won last year in about 3:44. The
University team is now doing the
stunt in 3:40. On a good track this

a first or second place assured.
