A. & N. FACULTY WON
.Walloped Seniors by Score
of Fifteen to One.
A Highly Enjoyable Game in Which There Was
Much Fun and Some Strong
Playing.

You missed a panacea lot DlueS IL 'oo
did not see it.
The 'It'' referred to was the game OF
baseball Yesterday afternoon at the
Fair Grounds between the Faculty and
the Seniors of the A. and M. College.
Incidentally the score resulted in
victory for the Faculty by score OF 10
to 4, but what matters that. 1t was the
game and not the score that multitude
went out TO see.
There was a great crowd on hand, and
the ''rooterines'' with apologies to the
season of 1900 were there bedecked IN
beauteous springtime raiment, and with
their voices in an absolutely correct
base ball pitch. Besides these there
were the cadets with military garb and
brass buttons, and many civilians, large
in numbers. but insignificant otherwise,
for they were simply a back ground to
the boys who step it off to nip, hip,
hippity hip
The Seniors were scattered around
over the field and grasped the bat in the
following order: Snowden, 2b; Cochran,
If; WEIGH, G.; Reinhardt, IF; Turner, p;
Moss 1b Shuford, SIS; Parker and Gates,
3b; Moseley. CT.
The Faculty were sorted out in the
following order: Riddick, CT Hill and
Chittenden, 3b; Wilson, IS; Burkett, C;
Richardson, p; Sherman, 1b; Bragg, 2b;
Skinner and Carter, If; Park, r.
The cadets good naturally rooted,
and guyed their professors quite bit,
but they soon found out that the teach
ers knew bat from a paddle. and could
welt ball in the nose or sock it in the
eye like old timers, as the score proved.
1t was an interesting game, and more
interesting because the players were in
dead earnest, and welted the ball, and
ran. and fell down in the dirt, and did
all manner of desperate things, while
the crowd was hunting for fun. During
the various spasms the cadet band per-
formed on horns and drums and dis
counted Sousa and Inness as makers OF
melody.
The religious editor of the News and
Observer was present, and while gazing
benevolently at the proceedings made
spasmodic entries in his notebook. He
did this merely that he might go to the
office and show the ''Old Man. that he
had been at work and did not go to the
ball game for any other purpose, but for
his life he can't tell, at this writing,
what he meant by the cabalistic figures
be made. The sporting editor was pres
ent also but was SO busily engaged in
holding ladys parasol that he has not
yet found out that score.
Four innings the Faculty did nothing
but score They hit and hunted and
Slowed things, surrounding three runs
in the first, six in the second and one in
ba Seniors
to the bat, but nary a score, and the
fourth inning resulted in a ditto, while
the Faculty scooped another run. In
the fifth inning the Seniors, with two
out, made three runs. Moss hit to short
and on a tumble went to first. Shuford
famed and Parker was thrown out at
first. The pitcher hit Moseley and Snow
den drove to Bragg, who fumbled, al
lowing Moss and Moseley to score.
Cochran got to first and Snowden scored,
but WEIGH died on a foul fly to the
catcher. That's how the Seniors got
three runs.
In the fifth for the Faculty Park
singled in centre, Riddick flew to third,
Chittenden famed, Wilson, hit by ball,
went to first and stole second allowing
Park to score. Burkett famed In the
sixth the Seniors did nothing, while the
Faculty scored three times after various
and sundry evoutions. In the seventh
the Seniors got in a run, Gates first man
up, making a single and ambling around
to third. from which he scored when
Moseley was thrown out at first, the side
being finally retired when Snowden was
forced off of third by Cochran and was
put out.
missed was the announced appearance of
DR.. Winston. Prof. Sherman furnished
humor, as did the hosiery of Prof. Rid
dick. The Faculty are patting them
selves because of their victory and are
ready to meet any faculty in the State.
They make a good team, and this is no
Joke
