Inc orange and blue OF the University
OF Virginia Dated in triumph of the
white and red of the Farmer boys.
But it was luck that won out for vir-
ginia and gave them the victory by
score of four to nothing. In place of
punching hits the A. and M. ball tossers
punched errors and Holt presented bases
Zoo freely.
Not run was earned by either team.

heard of was yesterday in innocuous de-
suetude or perhaps the Virginia Mascot
had hooddooed it. At any rate every
piece of luck went to the Virginia play
ers. while the tickle goddess kept even
out of hailing distance of the Cadets of
Carolina.
There was a great crowd out, the
largest of the season and estimates of
from twelve to fifteen hundred were made
of its size. Beauty was there on the
hleachers in gala attire. as well as beau
~ in carriages. Everywhere fioated and
wiggle waggled the rival college colors
and hoarse voices and sweet voices min
gled In shrieks, more or less musical, as
events happened and then happened again

the sixth Isler made a pretty running
catch off in left from centre and robbed
Stuckey of hit by taking in his fly. In
the eighth luck hesitated when Asbury
put a fly in left which Cooke let get away
as he fell, but which bounced up in the
air from his hands so that Nalle could

was the reason why the Virginians scored
two runs in each of the first and fifth
innings, these being the only runs scored
