CAROLINA PLAYS NICE BALL. DOWNS GEORGE WASHINGTON IN PRETTY GAME. Thoniosoii Pitches Well Team Does Heaviest Hitting of Season. Carolina cleaned up the boys from George Washington here yes terday afternoon by a score of 6 to 2. It was very cold, too cold for baseball, and the wind was high, making the game hard on the out field. Only a small crowd ventured out to shiver on the bleachers, but the courageous ones were rewarded by the witnessing of a pretty game Carolina won the game in the second when, on two hits, an error, and a base on balls the home team . netted three runs. For the three successive innings one run each was added and then our scoring ceased. At first it looked like a shut-out for George Washington, but Car olina borrowed an air ship tempor arily in the seventh and the visitors took two on two hits and an error The biggest feature of the game was the batting of the home team, which piled up 12 hits. The field ing of Carolina was superior to that of the visitors. Towards the end of the game the Washington boys did their share of hitting too. touching Thompson up for 7, which were well scattered, how ever. For George Washington, Steven son, catcher, played a star game, in spite of his acrobatic stunt on the wire fence. His handling of "pop" fowls was especially good. For Carolina. Fountain did some nice work in the field and his full share of stick-work. Whitaker stopped some hard ones, and old Romy pull ed in his quota of flies. Score by innings: R H E G. Washington 000000200 273 Carolina 08111000 6 12 2 Batteries: George Washington, Carr, Hester and Stevenson; Caro lina, Thompson and Rogers. Um pire, MR. Stem. Today's Game. The game' with V. P. 1. this afternoon should be an interesting one, although it should result in Carolina's favor, taking comparative scores into consideration. The A. & M. team defeated the boys from Blacksburg 15 to 4 the other day and Delaware College, in one game, shut them out, 3 toO. At all events there should be some good baseball this afternoon, the weather permitting. Philological Club.

Orchestra and Glee Club gave a most enjoyable recital in Gerrard Hall Friday night, making its first appearance for the season. The Musical As sociation had been training hard for several! mouths in preparation for the event and was well repaid for its pains by the Warm reception that it received from the student body. The house was crowded, and each number on tne program received enough applause to have warranted an encore, but the musi cians were chary of their selections and came back only a very few times. The Carolina and Georgia baseball teams, the guests of the Association, occupied prominent positions in the audience.

Once Carolina with Story up irood chance at a up, Rain Cuts Contest off at Seventh Inning Second Game Pre vented Altogether. (.jeonzia and Carolina crossed bats on the home diamond Friday for seven innings of the fastest base ball ever seen on the Hill. At the end of the seventh inning the game was called on account . ; of rain neither team having been able to score. Georgia succeed ed onlv twice in irettinir to first base and then tne runners died in attempting second went tt'V third and, seemed to have a scoring, but Foley, Georgia's twirler, used his judgment, hand ing out a pass, and the opportunity was gone. The game was throughout battle between tne batteries in which Thompson and Rogers had much the better of it against the Georgians, Foley and Brown Thompson s steam was with perfect control be to strike out 12 of the 21 faced him at the plate. Foley, Geor gia's left handed pitcher, fanne 5. Neither pitcher was found for anything longer than a single. Thompson's work was fa above the ordinary, and Rogers i i i rry 1 Lrave nim srood support, xms makes the third game that Thorn p son has pitched lately in which he has-held his opponents down to two hits or less. Both teams fielded an , errorless game. The players had very few chances at the ball, but those that they did have they handled promptly and scientifically. The Georgia team is composed of the fastest as well as the cleverest players that have visited the Hill this spring. A second game between the two teams was to have taken place Sat urday but the steady downpour of rain that lasted all day prevented i ne ueorgia team lert tor Atnens on the afternoon train Saturday Score by innings and was able men who R.

Lack of Team Work Loses Contest for Carolina by Score of 8 to 5. Carolina lost to Delaware on the home diamond Thursday by a score of 8 to 5. The game was slow and uninteresting, and was charac terized by lack of ginger all round. Sensational cutting off of infield hits by Whitaker and Montgomery, and a three-base hit by Story were the only relieving features of the con test. In the lirst inning, when James walked to first and came home on errors it looked like a walk-over for the home team. The third inning cost them five runs, however, on ; a combination of errors and sacrifice hits, and although they made three themselves the following inning they were unable to overcome Dela ware's lead. ' During the game Carolina tried Story, Morrow, and Thompson in the box; Story pitched the first two, innings Morrow the next four, and Thompson the rest of it. After Thompson went in in the seventh Delaware did not add a hit or a run. Doane pitched the whole thing for Delaware, and succceeded in keeping clear of the Carolina batters throughout, although there seem ed to be no especial reason for his doing so. ' "Po Will" was greatly missed on the side lines, although Messrs. D'Alemberte and Stewart did good work in leading the cheering. Score by innings.

The hopes of the college have been running high over the prospects of an excursion to Greensboro the 22nd on account of the Virginia game. These hopes have gone up in the air, however, for although the faculty were persuaded to agree to the proposition, it is still to prove a failure owing to the fact that Mr. R. L. Vernon, of Charlotte, the head of this division of the Southern, declares that he will be unable to urnish the necessary rolling stock. It is probable that special rates will be secured which will enable a larger crowd to take in the game than would be apt to do so under ordinary circumstances. "The Bible and College Stu dents", by Dr. C. Alphonso Smith, which appeared some time ago in the Christian Observer, Louisville, y,, has been reprinted entire by he Literary Digest.
