Wake Forest
Goes Down
Carolina Wins By a Neck
A Hotly Contested Game Tues
day Results in a Carolina
Victory, Score: 6 to 5.
Wake Forest, fresh from her
victory over A. and M.. at Raleigh
Monday, was met and defeated bv
the -University team Tuesday after
noon by the close score of 6 to 5.
The g"ame from the standpoint ol
how the national game should be
played, was a farce, but the close
score rendered it exciting and kept
the interest humming high from
beginning to end. It was one of
the most exciting games seen here
in a long time.
Wake Forest got the jump on us
and kept an apparently safe lead
until the eighth inning". The prob
ability of Carolina's being beaten
and by Wake Forest at that and on
her home grounds was 'realized by
team and supporters alike, and the
hard work of the team, coupled with
the playing of the band and tin
rooting" was the thing that pulled
the team out or tne noie. i lie ex
citement ran high on all sides. Tin
umpire could not suit both sides so
he retired and a new one was sub
stituted. Both did conscientious
work and, though neither was a
professional, did as well as anyone
could have done under the circum
stances. The. man marking tin
score upon the blackboard in his ex
citement over-did himself and mark
ed an inning too much. As Caro
lina needed this inning about that
time very much, the official scorer
happened to notice and correct th"
error. This caused a good deal of
discussion.
But to the game. Thompson and
Turner, E., were the opposing
pitchers and pitched about the same
game. Thompson was hit at more
opportune times than Turner, but
was much steadier. Both yielded
four hits, a very Miiall number con
sidering" the runs scored.
The game was, or would have
been, a pretty pitcher's battle, had
either team supported its pitcher.
Carolina played dumb ball behind
Thompson from the beginning and
had it not been for a sera's of pro
vidential errors by Moore. Wake
Forest's second baseman, we would
have gone down in defeat be lore tin
visitors. Turner, E.. didn't seem
to have auything in the baseball
line except, a glove, but he certainly
puzzled the Varsity sluggers. The
four hiis yielded by his delivery
were widely scattered, and with a
reasonable amount of support he
. would have let us down without a
run. His feat of pitching two days
in succession with such good results
is a noteworthy one and reminds one
of Sit ton's record last year.
The features of the game other
tluu the pitcher's battle were lew
and far between. Both pitchers
tried to outdo each other in hitting
each other with the ball. Turner.
E., had a shade the better of it
Tu rner, E., g"ot two three baggers,
besides making half of his teamV
hits. Turner, E. ami Benton play
ed a pretty fielding game. Tin
feature for Carolina was the fact
that she played a hard uphill garni
and beat Wake Forest 6 to 5.
Carolina had a splendid chance to
score in the first inning when Cal-
der, having walked, reached third.
He and James tried a squeeze play,
but James let the ball go by with
out striking at it and Calder Was
made a sucker of. Patterson and
Story were marked off and Carolina
got her tirst goose egg".
The Baptists did decidedly better
by scoring two runs in their half.
A hard single through short by
Turner, J., with Goodvvyn and
Richardson on bases, did the work,
allowing both to cross the home
plate.
In the second Carolina again fail-
ed to score, while the visitors in
creased theirs by one. Patterson
made a mess of Holding's infield fly.
Benton fanned and then Turner, E.
hit a long- one that Story got under
onl3' to fumble, Holding going to
third and Turner to second. Good
wyn tried the squeeze play, struck
at the ball but missed and Holding
was thrown out between third and
home. Turner, E., in the mean
time, went to third during the
chase,. and scored when Rog"ers let
a fast one get away from him.
The third inning" was short even
if not sweet. Hanes, Calder and
James, trying to steal second, for
Carolina, and Richardson, Smith
and Turner, J., tor the "visitors, go
ing out one, two, three.
Carolina had better luck in the
fourth. Story led off with a single
by 'short. Patterson reached first
and Story second, when Moore fum
bled his easy roller. Thompson got
hit by a pitched ball. Stem hit to
second baseman, the ball went by
undctaineu and Story and Patterson
scored. Thompson was caught off
second by a throw from Turner, E.
to Benton. Harris was hit by a
pitched ball. Rogers hit hard to
pitcher, who fumbled, giving Stem
a pass to third and Harris to second.
Hanes Hew to left and Stem scored
after the catch. Harris took a nap
off third anil was put to the bad.
Hamrick fanned. Moore popped
to Thompson. Holding sing-Jed
over second and stole second. Ben
ton fanned but Rogers dropped the
ball and on his wild throw to first
Holding scored and Benton went to
third. Turner singled hard over
lirst. Calder thought it a foul and
took his time, while Benton scored
and Turner went to third. Good
vvyn ended the agony by lining" out
to Hanes. Two runs, two hits.
The score was now d to . in favor
of Wake Forest.

the rig"ht fielder, who made a come
dian of himself by dropping it, ;md
Stem scored Wake Forest failed to
make g"ood in her hal f, leaving the
score, 5 to 4.
In the seventh, Calder, James and
Story came up and went down.
Turner, E, for the visitors swatted
a peach to center field fence for 3
bases, but fast fielding" by Story
kept him on third till the close of
the inning.
Carolina woke up and got busy
on the bleachers and on the diamond.
Patterson singled hard to rig"ht and
Thompson did likewise to left.
Capt. Stem advanced both on a
beautiful bunt. Harris hit to third
and Patterson was out at home.
Cunningham - was sent in to take
Rogers's place and hit through sec
ond, scoring two. Hanes went out,
third to first.
Smith popped up to Thompson,
Turner, J., went out short to first
and Hamrick fanned.
In the ninth Calder fanned before
he knew it. James lined out to left
and Story grounded out, short to
first. .
Wake Forest's last chance availed
little. The Carolina team had
come down from its balloon ascen
sion and positively refused to get
excited again. Moore went out to
Stem, and Holding" and White (sub
stituted for Benton for hitting pur
poses) fanned the wind. Carolina's
game, 6 to 5.

The Britisher and the Long
Faced American Show Up
On Schedule Time.
The highest class entertainment
of its kind that ever visited Chapel
Hill was given Monday night when
Jerome K. Jerome, English humor
ist and Charles Battell Loom is,
American humorist, appeared on
the same platform before an audi
ence which filled Gerrard Hall,
despite the formidable (for Chapel
Hill) admission charges.
The fame of the two had spread
far and wide. Few had not either
read Loomis or read of him and per
haps none had not held their sides
over the simple but irresistible
humor of "Three Men in a Boat,
to Say Nothing- of the Dog"." The
n a m e o f t h i s boo k , especially, a p
pearing" prominently along with
the portrait of the Britisher on sup
ernumerous posters was a draw
ing card not to be despised.
Probably not a few of the au
dience had gone out with the heroic
intention of being bored with sol
emn laughterless British humor,
simply to see and to say they had
seen him who was starring in the
transcontinental tour. They had
seen, perhaps, one specimen of our
English brother as a lecturer and
had been not so favorably impressed
as they might have been. He had
been gracefully introduced, had
plunged his head into a bundle of
manuscript without even an intro
ductory "Ladies and Gentlemen,"
and then, having raced through his
manuscript, had turned and taken his
seat, much as if to say he had earn
ed, his money and was not giving
extras on this trip.
If such there were, however,
they were reassured by the ap
pearance of Mr. Jerome. His
ruddy cheeks, lis self assured
air as well as the half-supercilious
glint of his glasses, pro
claimed him an Englishman of the
better class. But otherwise he
seemed reassuringly like "folks."
He had the sympathy of his au
dience from the start, which was
soon in a continual titter of merri
ment. There was no uproarious
laughter. That was not the style
of the humor. There were no
striking climaxes to bring it forth.
Most of his numbers were anti-climactic,
abounding in little touches
which were excruciatingly funny,
and then suddenly coming to a stop.
Nothing was more gratifying to
the crowd than when he would
launch into an English dialect story
with omitted It's, and they greeted
it with a wave of smiles. No fur
ther doubt remained that he was
the genuine and unadulterated ar
ticle. Those omitted h's were to
them the infallible ear marks of
the bumptious Britisher and hence
the feeling of personal gratification
produced.
Then Mr. Loomis mounted the
platform, and a wave of suppressed
