TEAM IS OFF TO VIRGINIA The baseball team will leave Chatoel Hill Thursday for a three game trip into Virginia. On Fri day the 18th they take another s'-ot at Virginia. On Saturday they go on up to Lexington and strike Wash ington and Lee and V. M. I. on the I nth and the 21st. The chances are that Aycocok will again face Vir ginia and he will likely be opposed by the south paw Grant who pitched the last two innings in Greensboro. Graves will then be sent against Washington and Lee and Aycock back . against V. M. I. The team seems to be in tip top condition right now and should get away with all three games. John Hall Manning represented the local chapter of the Zeta Psi fra ternity at the recnt convention in Boston.

Bailey's Three- Bagger Puts It on Ice Pitching Keeps It There Hubert Bailey's three base smash with the"bases full broke up the-Vir- ginia game in Greensboro Monday an 4, at the same time lifted that jinx which from thetimeimmemorial has withheld Carolina from victory in Cone Park. Facingaleadof two runs garnered in the first inning Carolina bided her time and in the third the break came. When the dust had settled and the shouting and tumult had died away, five runners had crossed the home plate and the victory was in sight. Then it was that young Mr. Ay cock showed the Old Dominion boys what pitching was. He knew that he had to hold that lead and hold it he did. In the fifth they slipped one run across on him and in the seventh they got another, but he never lost his head. He had the old curve ball breaking the corners and behind him the team was field ing in big league style. In the eighth Virginia had. a man on sec ond and none down. It looked equally, but the little Governor was at his best and sailed out to clear water. In the ninth just to show them how much, he did have he. struck out the first two batters and oaused the third to fly out. It was a great Carolina Virginia game and for thrills will rank along with the best of them. The crowd numbered around 3, uuu, not so many as in former years because o the various postponements. When rain butted in at Greensboro on the 11th and again at Raleigh's game on the 12th, it looked as though the two teams would never come together and the Athletic Association began looking around for a receiver. But Graduate Manager McLendon persu :ided Virginia to stay over on the ch- ncethat sun would shine Monday. It wasawisemove.Theerowd showed all kinds of enthusiasm and White and Blue pennants were there in abun dance. When Carolina rushed ahead in the third, a grand demonstration took place. The grandstand, bleach ers, and side lines rose en masse and their victorious shouts sounded all the more glorious after the lean years. With the exception of one bad nning Pitcher Neff handled the situation pretty well for Virginia and pulled out of several holes in his seven innings. In the eighth Grant replaced Neff, the latter go ing to short in place f White. In his two innings Grant pitched to ut six men. Aycock did not start off aus piciously. Finley, wne played a ereat came, drove one of his first offerings through short and stole second on the next pitch- Phillips was passed and Neff advanced both runners'with a sacrifice. Lile came across with a hot liner down the third base line and both rrnners scored. The game was put on ice in the third inning. Karl Bailey started off with a clean single and Leak walked. Edwards hit over Neff's head and every Udy was safe. A ! and Aycock's Superb mighty cry went up when Johnson came to the bat. Neff kept his head and ; his sharp breaking curves fanned Carr lin's best slugger, . But his curves broke too fast with Williams, one of them catching him on the knee and sending him to first while Baily strolled home. With three men still on Thompson drove to short. The play was made to catch Williams at second, but he beat the throw. Leak scored and still the bases were soused. Hubert Baily was the man of the hour. He caught a fast one squairly and lined it out. Edwards, Williams, and Thompson romped home and Baily stopped at third. Pandemorium broke loose. Virginia played desperately after that and was always dangerovs. In the fifth a hit batsman and Finley's single brought one across. Again in the' seventh the irrepressible Finley drove a legitimae singlte to left. Bv great; speed and a Ty Cobb slide he stretched it to a double. Phillip's hit counted him. The best " chance to tie the score . ; cam. ; in ' the ' eighth and , Aycock, i never showed to better advantage. With a runne on second and none out, Beokwith's raoriflce sent him tojthird. But there was nothing doing. Stickly popped up and Green fanned. . Aycock put everything he had on the ball in the ninth and fanned Grant. Finley who had previously hit safely three times went by the same rout. The crowd called for a third strike out on Phillips, but with two strikes against him he lifted a long fly to Bailey and the game was won. The work of Williams at third, Thompson in left and Bailey in center had much to do with Carol ina's victory. Bailey . hauled in several long drives. Sticklev . at third was easily the star for Vir ginia and his brilliant stops cut down the number of hits. Finley led both teams in batting with a double and two singles. CAROLINA A. B. II. H. P. O.
