How Raleigh Lines Up
To3av

tUIdJs
Play ball" the umpire will call at
o'clock sharp this afternoon at the fair
grounds. when the Raleigh club and the
University of North Carolina baseball
team face each other on the diamond
The game promises to be an interest
ing one and there should be a large at
tendance. The Raleigh club want to score
a decisive victory after its recent defeat
by the Brooklyn club, and propose 10 put
up an extra specimen of fine ball playing,
while the collegians are recognized to be
in fine fettle, and will face the Senators
with confidence, born of series of VIC
tories, barring their defeat by Lehigh.
With these two things in mind the public
may expect a good hot article in the
way of a ball game.
The lineup of the Raleigh club will be
in this fashion: Stanly, right field or
pitcher; Person, centre field; Kelly, first
base; Hennager, second base; Ottmer, left
field; Atz, third base; Meade, short stop
LeGrand, catcher; Bowden, pitcher, and
sherman, substitute. If Stanley pitches
sherman will play right field, while if
Bcwden pitches Stanley will play right
field.
To this game the ladies will be admit
ted free and grand stand seats will be
fifteen cents. The people of Raleigh
should be out in large numbers today and
also at tomorrow S game with Trinity, as
The home team leaves for Norfolk on sun
day to begin the championship series with
the club of that city on Monday and a
good attendance will give them smiling
ecuntenances when they leave this hap
by home" Of theirs.
THAT BROOKLYN GAME.
How about that Charlotte game?"
said the reporter to Captain Geo. Kelly,
the manager of the team, yesterday.
Kelly was pulling a red and white
sweater over his head as the question was
pitched at him, and as his countenance
came up through the hole, a wearied
smile fitted across his face and he an
swered:
well. we expected to be done up. You
see we did not leave Raleigh till a. M
Wednesday and were aboard the cars till
IL o'clock The boys were worried and
tired out, having had little sleep. Be-
sides this, our pitchers got ratified and
gave bases on balls. That tore us all up
1t could not be helped. We were beaten,
ard that's the whole story"
But, look here, just look at this sum
mary cf the Charlotte game when we
went up against the Brooklyns, the best
team of ball players in the world: Earned
| runs, Brooklyn, g. Raleigh. 8; hits,
| Brooklyn, q; Raleigh, IT. double play,
! Kelly, Sherman and Atz, this being the
| only double in the game; struck out, by
/ Stanley, /, and not a Raleigh player but
| got his eye and his bat too, on the ball
| That's not so bad, after all: and when
! the team is strengthened and has played
| a few games together, you will open your
! eyes, for there are some corking good
! PLAYERS in the crowd.
Say, you just watch those Norfolk
! games. We're going to do the work there
| in Al style and Raleigh will see victory
| for the red and white"
| Manager Kelly thinks he has good
/ team, and backs his opinion by saying
/ that it is winning team.
SEVERAL NEW MEN.
James Tignor, the Manchester. Va,
pitcher, has been released, as he was
| found wanting in the game with the A..
| and NJ. boys. He has gone home.
A speedy twirler has been added to the
| team in the person of r. l.. Totty, of
| Manchester. who played last year with
the Virginia League, and has also been
with the Connecticut League He is on
J trial and if he is "a good thing" he will
stay with Raleigh
Manager Kelly is in correspondence
with John Leonard, of Alexandria, Va. He
/. played last year with Portsmouth and is
said to be corker as a pitcher. He
is expected here shortly.
Another man looked for is Devlin, who
played ball with Tarboro last year un-
der the name of Johnson. He comes from
the Georgetown University team, and will
join Raleigh after the college season
Closes This will be after May 18TH
Phil Meade came in yesterday. Meade
is a rafting good all-round player and a
dandy short stop. He will be in the game
this afternoon.
Haughman, the right field man, who
had his hand split open in the game with
| the A. and NJ. boys on Tuesday, may be
in the game with Trinity on Saturday,
| though Kelly thinks that he had better
keep him out for the hot work next week.
| Haughman is considered zone of the
| finest" on the team. He is heavy hitter
and sprinter from way back, getting
| around the bases like brand new auto
| mobile.
Yesterday afternoon the team did some
practice and rubbed away the stiff joints
that the Charlotte trip had given them.
THE PLAYERS WILL POSE.
Manager Kelly proposes to have all his
men pose for their pictures. He will
have cuts made and use them in the pa
pers. so that folks can see what hand
some lot of players wear the Raleigh
colors.
There will be number of people with
the ball team from Trinity College for
Co4,rdax,,s o1ap,a and oood nlaVinp NAV

The report that the TrinityWake For

Wake Forest, who writes that it will take
place on Monday, April 18TH This game
