seven Games VIII be Played on the Raleigh
4 Diamond. The Season 0pers up on tie
18th at Portsmouth. The Ralsigh
Team viii Play TO Win.

Wet grounds and cloudy sky are re-
Raleigh baseball enthusiasts yesterday.
In consequence of the threatening
weather, the Horner baseball team which
was to have played against the A. and
NJ team yesterday, returned home with
out PLAYING. This game had been looked
forward to with great expectancy by the
Raleigh fans game will be arranged
later between these teams. They have
each played one game this season and
were defeated. Horner by Trinity and
the A. and M. by by the University.
For tomorrow, however, a game is
booked that, should the skies be propit-
lous, will attract a large crowd of people
and cause much interest. This is another
game between the Raleigh and Wake
Forest teams. The fine game that these
teams played Friday whetted the base
BALL appetite of the Raleigh people, to
such an extent that the next game will
be witnesse by probably as many as the
bleachers and grand stand will hold. Both
teams played fine ball.
The members of the Raleigh team are
a fine set of young fellows. In the few
lays they have been here they have
made many friends. Their performance
last Friday was of such excellence as to
,nthuse local baseballdom in their behalf
md they are receiving the glad hand. 1t
to be remembered that the game Fri
lay was the first game they had ever
)layed together, and the second they had
PLAYED since coming out of winter quar-
tiers. There are several henderson, the.
Raleigh team yet to arrive. 1t is ex-
pected that when the players are all
here and in good trim they will
be able to put up a good stiff game of
ball against all corners.
The chief deficiency that developed Fri
day was an uncertainty in regard to their
batting But with regular practice this
will doubtless be remedied. They are
hard hitting lot, and batted the sphere
to all points of the compass. Their base
running was extremely fine.
On Tuesday the team plays it's first
game away from home They go to
Chapel Hill and play game there.
Chapel Hill has played only one game, in
which it defeated the A. and M. College
team by score of 80 to 0, as the Uni
versity team is probably the best school
team in the State, the result OF this
game is awaited with interest
