PINCH HITTER DELUXE Although 1924 Was First Season in the Majors, He Contributes Greatly in World Series. "Mule" Shirley, idol of Carolina base ball fans and pinch-hitter of the Sena tors whose two hits in the world's series did much toward the Capitol City's vic tory over the New York Giants, was back on the Hill last Wednesday. Students delight in recalling that it was here on the campus of the Univer sity that "Mule" spent his college career and attracted the attention of the scouts for the major leagues. He was one of the best swatters ever to don a Carolina uniform. Shirley slipped into town as quietly as a mouse Tuesday afternoon . 'from Washington, and had sneaked away to some sequestered spot to swap tales with his old friends before the campus had been warned of his arrival. "Mule" does not like celebrations and he nipped a fine one in the bud by coming into town unheralded and later slipping away to dormitory room before his crowd of well-wishers had time to get together. But a mule can't be quiet long; so out he went to Emerson field to get a glimpse of the football team at practice and a glimpse was all he could get between handshakes. ; Friends tried " to shield "Mule" from the overwhelming gratitude of his admirers but that was about as useless as trying to stop the rush at Swain Hall. The "Mule's" arrival recalls to the minds of students how he got his start toward pr6fessional baseball. His first honors were won as southpaw for his home town of Snow Hill. At Oak Ridge where he later went his fame as pitcher and slabsman continued to spread. In 1919 he entered the University, and in the spring of 1920 he earned quite a reputation as moundsman for the fresh man nine. The following spring found Shirley sporting a berth on the varsity squad. He was too good a hitter to stay in his old position, so Bill Fetzer sent him to the outfield where he could be used in every game. Here also he won recog nition from the students as a wonder on the diamond. When the season of 1922 rolled around, the squad was found lacking in a good first baseman, and versatile man that he was, "Mule" took the berth and played so well at the new position that season and the following one that his teammates elected him cap tain of the 1924 nine. "Mule" was graduated in the spring of 1923 and the same year signed up with the Virginia league, but returned to college the next fall and entered the school of law. He hoped to have his contract suspended until he could com' plete his law course, but the league be came insistent "ast spring and "Mule' found himself headed for the profession' als sooner than he had planned, with the hopes and prayers of the student body behind him though they, like him self, had wished that it might be post poned. The Norfolk club, however, sur rendered its option on Shirley's services to the Senators, and thus the World's Champions found him in their midst at the first of their season. In the first game of the world's series "Mule" got a scratch hit when sent to the bat and went home on the next man's single. In another game he got a hit which scored a man from second base, and in the final game he substituted for a runner but died on third. "Mule" went with the Carolina stu- dent body to Raleigh to witness the State game Thursday, and thence to his home in Snow Hill. He says he has not laid his plans for the winter as yet He reports for practice with the Senators next March. Glee Club Plans A Big Spring Tour The Glee Club will start on its first trip about January 10, Paul John Wea ver has announced. They will visit towns in the eastern part of the state and will probably take in Norfolk and Richmond, About 65 men are out for the glee club this year and a good deal of en thusiasm is being shown in the work, This number will, probably be cut down to 25 or SO for the tour. A soloist from New York will accompany the club on Its itinerary. Owing to the fact that many of the men, of G dormitory were leaving early for' the State game, the smoker which was to have been held Wednesday night, October 15, has been postponed until October 22. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1924, la i , 'v- t Piebck Matthews Tar Heel Captain who intercepted two Tech passes in first quarter and put crimp into State's attack. GREATEST CROWD IN HISTORY SAW FAIR WEEK GAME Over 15,000 Spectators Saw the Tar Heels Defeat State. MANY NOTABLES PRESENT "Mule" Shirley and Mrs. Vanderbilt Are Among Those Seen at the Contest. One of the largest crowds ever to assemble at a football game in North Carolina gathered for the Carolina-State Fair week game last Thursday. It was variously estimated at from fifteen to twenty thousand. Among the notables who were pres ent were Hon. "Mule" Shirley," Caroli na's representative in Washington, and Mrs. Edith Vanderbilt. Wherever the "Mule" went there was a crowd follow ing. He seemed to draw almost as much interest as the game itself. Peace, Meredith, and St. Mary's ,were all on hand as per schedule. Cheer Leader Huggins became so ingrossed wit hthe ladies that he forgot all about the game and during the intermissions between halves gave a yell for all the girls schools but left the team out in the cold. Hundreds of old grads of both insti tutions; were present and there were groups of them renewing old times. Carolina seemed to have the most sup porters, although the" game was played in Raleigh. ' Carolina was scattered so much, however, that the yelling was not as good as it might have been. State college's compact bunch of . cheerers made most of the noise. Most of the Carolina students took in the Fair, either that morning or night, and report that it is as much fun as ever to ride the merry-go-round. It was a great, wonderful, tiresome, day and it was a fagged out bunch of boys that reported for classes Friday morning, and, according to rumor, there was quite a large number that did not get back in time to catch their eight thirties.

A STUDENT UNDER AUER Miss Knox Has Spent a Year in Exten sive Study At the American Con servatory At Fontainebleau. Erailie Rose Knox, well known violin ist, of Raleigh, will appear in Memorial hall October 80, under the auspices of Wigue and Masque. Miss Knox will be pleasantly remembered by those who heard her last year, especially on ac count of her playing in front of Memor ial hall after the concert. Miss Knox has appeared in Chapel Hill a number of years, and it is for this reason she is coming back this fall. She is leaving the United States in No vember for two years' study abroad, and in a recent letter to a member of the music department she said, "I'd be so much happier on the boat if I had the memory of one more concert on the Hill,"' '''''. Miss Knox started out with public recitals five years ago, and has played every year since. For the last three years she has been studying with Leo pold Auer, who Is a teacher of Heifitz and a number of the greatest violinists of the age, and is himself one of the greatest of teachers. Miss Knox has been paying $60 a lesson. He told her he expected her to be America's great est violinist. 1 One year ago last summer she studied on a scholarship at the Amer ican .Conservatory at Fontainebleau, and now she leaves .in November for two years' study in Paris. Her popularity in the States is evidenced by the fact that the Woman's Club of Raleigh and sev eral Kiwanis Clubs are financing her study. Last winter she played all over the country with Colin O'More, tenor, who is fast becoming famous. She planned to make her New York debut this year, and has delayed it for further study. Miss Knox will very ; probably pre' sent a light program this fall, for that sort of program has been most popular with the students here. After her con cert she plays on the steps of Memorial hall, after which she visits several of the fraternity houses. POLICE PHONES TO BE PUT IN Village Cops Adopting Latest Metropolitan Fad. COLLEGE DRUNKS B'WARE Three Phones Will Make Up City's System. Three police telephones, fitted with alarm bells, are to be placed on poles along the main street between the post office and Andrews corner within the next few days; These will enable any body to summon a police officer prompt ly by telephone. This is the way the plan will work Suppose, for-example, that Mr. Chase wants to put behind the prison bars burglar whom he has detected rifling neighbor's house; or suppose there is an automobile collision opposite Mrs. Brad- shaw's and she wants immediate official aid or suppose some group of revelers are . disturbing the quiet of the night with boisterous laughter and shouts then call central, and central will plug in on the new circuit and start the bells to ringing. A police officer is always on duty on the block, and he will run to the nearest of the three phones and find out just where he is wanted. Each of the three phones will be in a metal box to which every one of the town s policemen will have a key. 1 the same circuit and with the same kind of alarm bell there will be a telephone in the police station at Rosemary and Columbia streets. , Florists' Convention Next Week The North Carolina Florists' Associa tion will hold its convention in Durham next week.

' KEEPS REFEREE GOING One Carolina Sparrow Plays Havoc With Riddick Field and Eleven Farmers. A FIELD GOAL AND TOUCHDOWN Carolina Backs Outpunt Opponents With Ease But Continue Weak in Passing and Receiving. Showing the best form of the season, . the Tar Heels swept over the State Col lege Wolfpack and won the annual Fair ' week game last Thursday by the score of 10 to 0, George Sparrow doing all the scoring by a dropkick and a touch down and point after. Carolina showed flashes of the form that had been expected of her all the season and which had failed to mater ialize in v any of the three preceding games, these moments of brilliance give promise of a great team if only they can be sustained. At times the Tar Heels appeared as weak as ever and at one time with the ball on State's four yard line, three rushes failed to gain an inch. The University's passing is still the weakest feature of their offense, while penalties continue to cut into their gains. The game was marred by penalties on both sides with Carolina drawing 14 dif ferent punishments for a total of 110 yards, while State was penalized six times for 40 yards. , For once in history the breaks of the game went to Carolina and It was a fortunate break in the opening period of the game that gave the ball to Caro lina deep in the Techmen's territory, when Epstein intercepted a forward pass on the 30-yard line. Again in the sec ond quarter Bras well recovered a punt on State's 20-yard line. These fortunate breaks with the bad punt by State that went out on their 15-yard .line, played a' large part in the victory. Carolina clearly demonstrated, how ever, that they were the best team. 6 The line held State while the Carolina backs gained much more ground than their opponents. In only one department was State superior, in the aerial game. In the fourth quarter they carried the ball dangerously near the Carolina goal on two occasions by the use of passes, but, lucking any other offense with which to supplement their air attack, were un able to score. ' An unusual incident occurred In the second quarter when the football which Sparrow was carrying exploded. When the Tar Heel quarterback got to his feet after being tackled the ball- was nowhere to be seen, having burst like a toy balloon. Time was called while a new ball was secured. The work of Merritt and Matthews brought joy to the hearts of the Caro lina supporters. Merritt played his best game of the year while Matthews was all over the field, intercepting forward passes, breaking through the line to throw the State backs for losses, and getting down under the punts. Carolina gained on nearly every punt Merritt and Sparrow were putting dis tance and height on the ball while Ep stein and Matthews kept the State backs from returning any appreciable distance. These gains on the punts were strong factors in the State defeat. First Quarter ( The kickoff was at 2:30. Jackson re ceived on the 40-yard line. Dill gained one yard around left end. Time was taken out for an injury to Shuford. Shu ford's wrist was injured. Jeanette took his place Carolina punted 40 yards and the kick was received by Sprague. John son ran three yards around right end. Lassiter made first down around right end. Jeanette gained one yard through the ifne. Another first down was regis tered when Carolina was offside. John son went around left end for three yards. Whipple's pass was Intercepted by Ep stein. The ball was Carolina's on State's 30-yard line. A pass by Devin was in completed to Braswell. Fordham for Carolina gained four yards through the line. Carolina was penalized for offside. A pass Devin to Dill failed. State was offside and was penalized. Carolina got first down on the penalty. Merritt got six yards through left tackle. On the next play Carolina was offside. Ford ham went five yards through the line. Fordham failed to gain on a line plunge. Carolina again was penalized for off sides. Devin passed to Merritt but it . was grounded. Merritt failed to gain through line on a trick play,- the ball going to State on her 30-yard line. John son failed to gain on right end run as he stumbled. A pass Ripple to Jeanette was completed and then fumbled, and was recovered by Sprague for ' State.
