DONE IN OLD RICHMOND
Magnificent Pitching, Heavy
Hitting aud Fast Fielding
Wins From Virginia.
"Carolina b, Virgina 1" tells the
glad tidings of the signal victory of
Monday afternoon, when the fast
team of the University of Virgina.
bearing" in its belt the scalp of old
Yale, went down in defeat before
the magnificent pitching, the ter
rific batting and the brilliant field
ing of North Carolina's team.
Chastened by the defeat of Saturday
from possible ov.er confidence, keyed
up by determination to retrieve that
defeat and show Virginia lhat Car
olina can still play base bill as well
as football, they outclassed the
Virginians at every point of the
game.
Cunningham did the twirling for
Carolina and was insoluble, giv
ing only one free pass, striking
out 7 and letting down the Virgin
ians with two swats and one run.
The Virginians could bang the
sphere but thai was all. Back of
Cunningham were seven men, base
ball players, who gave him support
of the giltedged variety and as
much as could have been desired.
For four innings the battling
teams seemed equally matched-and
no one scored, though the Carolina
men came nearer it than did their
rivals. When Hoff walked to first
in the fifth inning and Moses drove
out a two bagger which sent Hoff
in home, the game took on an added
interest.
When Carolina came to the bat
the ball was kept rolling. There was
a look of determination in Cap
tain Stem's eye as he whirled his
bat and dashed the sphere far out
into the field and raced down to
second. Harris followed with a
single which scored Stem. Rog
ers singled. Harris scored on a
wild pitch, and on Jones's single
Harris came in.
In the sixth Patterson hit safely
and scored on Stem's two bagger.
Harris's sacrifice brought in Stem.
In the seventh Calder reached first
on an error ami scored on .sacrifices
by Stem and Story. The game
was ours. f to 1.

Umpire, W. II. Heffuer, of Virginia State
League. Attendance, 2,600.
Carolina Was Up in the Air For
Two Innings, Long Enough
to Lose the Game.
The second game with Virginia
at Charlottesville Tuesday had a
less satisfactory termination than
I Ik first. The last part of the
story must be told first. The
game was forfeited by Carolina by
the score of ' ) to 0, rather than sub
mit to what the team considered an
unjust ruling by Umpire Heffner.
The forfeiture made no change in
the score as it then stood, though
Mr. Heifner's decision did change
James had just scored on Cunning
ham's two bajger down the first
base line when the umpire reversed
his first ruling and called the two
bigger a foul, thus annulling the
run. . It was this decision that end
ed the ame. Susonji" was in the
box for Virginia and Patterson for
Carolina. Susong was the steadier
of the two and was better support
ed. The North Carolina team
seemed in poorer form than that ex
hibited by them on the preceding
oay, ttie game oeing lost in tne nrst
two innings. After the third inning
with the score V to 0, both teams
settled down "and"' played splendid
tall, not another team crossing the
pan until James's contested run in
the ninth.
Lowler and Walker, the two men
up first went down in order. But
the inning was by no means closed,
for Patterson went up in the air,
filled the bases by letting Graham,
Daltou and Maddux walk and for
ced a run by giving Rice four balls.
.1 hen Huff knocked a grounder to
left field, scoring everybody on
the bases, and Chandler brought
him in by hitting to Harris, who
fumbled. Susong fanned and the
side was out.
When Virginia came to bat the
second time she proceeded to do it
some more. Lowler walked and
Walker hit, sending Lowler to sec
ond. Graham fanned. Dalton hit
a grounder to center field which
Story threw wild and all three scor
ed. The third inning added one to the
Virginians' account when Chand
ler walked and Susong hit to left,
going to second and scoring Chand
ler. Lowler again walked. Wal
ker hit to Harris, who threw Su
song out at third. Graham went
out second to first, Stem making a
double to Rogers.
In Carolina's half Montgomery
reached first on fumble of short
stop and went to second on Calder's
sacrifice. He was left sitting there
however.
Then both teams settled down to
hard work and the rest of the story
is a tale of "out second to first,"
"out third to first," and "fanned".
Virginia came to the bat in the
ninth. Graham succumbed short
YELLING YANIGANS WIN
Nine to Five Tells the Story of
How We Did Not Win From
the Professional Bunch.
The Yanigans (spell it with an i,
if you please) and the Varsity did
battle on our home diamond last
Thursday afternoon and the "fur
riners" proved masculine enough to
win by a score of nine to five.
The beaming rays of the sun beat
down pitilessly, taking all the spirit
nut of the yrandstanders, the
bleacherites and the players alike
It looked at first as if even the
Baltimore aggregation would sue
climb like the others. Their heavy
batting, however, combined with
the lack of rooting and the conse
quent sleepy playing of the Var
sity at times proved too much for
the Tar Heels.
Cunningham pitched for Caro
lina for. five innings, retiring in fa
vorot .Patterson. ine rame was
featureless except for Capt. Stem's
usual star game at short and the
steady catching of Nie for the Yanigans.
A series of errors on the part of
the Yanigans allowed Calder and
James to cross the pan in the first
inning, while only one of the leag
uers reached' first, Zurlage being
given a pass. In the second Har
ris, Hart and Raney went down in
order, while Fritz for -the visitors,
walked to first, stole second and
third and scored on Nie's single to
center. In the third an error each
by Patterson and Harris and a
passed ball by Raney brought in
Rig and Zurlage.
The leaguers were not satislied
with this but in the fourth Wood
ward, colliding with one of
"Cunny.s" curves, walked to first,
reached third on a wild pitch and
together with Rick, whose patience
locate the sphere, and .Maddux's
fly was nipped by short.
Then came Carolina's last chance
to avoid a shut out. Burt James,
"the finest third baseman on the
Southern college diamond," slam
med one at short and rested on first.
Bull Story Tapped out a hot one to
centerfield, advancing James to sec
ond. Patterson fanned, and the
crowd in the Chapel sighed. But
then rose Cunningham to the bat,
he whose line drive saved the Wake
Forest game, and svatted a liner
down the first base line, reaching
first safely and scoring- James!
The shut out was avoided. But
then stepped in the umpire and
spoiled it all. Reversing his first
decision after James had crossed the
plate, he declared Cunningham's
hit a foul, a ruling which, of course,
annulled James's run. With two
men on bases and one out, the Car
oiina team left the field and the
game was Virginia's, ) to nothing.

had been rewarded, scored on Cor

bided his time and did the Prodi
gal Son act on Capt. Halm's sin
gle. This made it 6 to 2. But in
fifth Calder took first as a gift,
reached third on James's single and
tallied on an error of second base
man, James doing likewise on
"Cunny's" single. The sixth
yielded one, Hart, walking and scor
ing on a single by Story. That
was the last of it for us.
The professionals began where
Carolina left off, tallying one in the
eighth and two in the ninth, on
Zurlage's hot single past Harris.

The Fresh-Soph Debate Post
poned.
Owing to the illness of Mr.
Marion S. Huske, who is the Fresh
man representative of the Phi soci
ety in the Fresh-Soph debate, the
debate will probably have to be
called off for this spring. The
date set was May 4th, a week from
tomorrow night. Mr. Huske,
who was taken ill this week, has
gone home and is forbidden by the
doctor to return.
The other debaters are Messrs.
K. L. Stewart, -'08, of the Phi, and
Marmaduke Robins, '08 and B. C.
Mcintosh '09, of the Di. The
query is that ol the direct election
of United States Senators. lhe
teams were evenly matched and . an
interesting debate was promised.
An effort has been made to get a sub
stitute for Mr. Huske, but the time
is so short no one was willing to
volunteer.
The Tar Heel, is indebted to
Mr. Harry P. Harding for an invi
tation to the graduating exercises
of the Charlotte irraded schools-
May 18th. Prof. M. C S. -Noble.
of the University, will deliver .the
address.
