Snappy Game.

Carolina v. A. and
M. To-day.

a large crowd gathered at the athletic
fields yesterday afternoon to see the Cor
nell University of New York, and the
University of North Carolina cross bats.
The game was the prettiest and snappiest
seen on the diamond this season. The
Carolina boys made it interesting fer the
Cornell nine all through the ten innings
played, and looked as much like winners
as the bows from the North. Hart, the
shortstop for Carolina, was a deVouring
demon who spoiled many chance by his
fine work. Welch, CornelPs catcher, was
too much for Cardinals base runners.
Several trials were made to steal second
but all were fruitless. Both pitchers
were effective and were well supported.
The Cornell team scored their first runa
in the fourth inning, when Rice reached
first base safe, while Costello was thrown
out at second and stole second while
Wiley was at bat. who was retired by
high foul fly to first. Mantello followed
Wiley and hammered a safe hit down
right field foul line to a hiding place and
scored Rice and came home himself before
the ball could be found.
In the tenth inning Cornell barely
squeezed out one run victory over the
Carolina team, when Umstead reached
first on a hot drive to short: Bromen on
pretty bunt was safe on first and Umstead
reached second on high throw by Oldham,
who attempted to throw him out. WEIGH,
the third man up, with first and second
bases occupied, hit out pretty bunt and
on bad throw by third baseman TO first
Umstead scored the winning run.
The Carolina boys scored their two runs
in the eighth Oldham singled, Hart out
on fly to third and Oldham went to second
and was advanced to third on pretty single
by Cheshire, who stole second on throw
home. Oldham reached first bag on wild
throw by third baseman. The grandstand
went wild. Carolina had all the bases full
and one man down. with Capt Donnelly
at the bat, who singled safely over second
baseman and Oldham scored. Worth sac
riflced and Cheshire scored. Hobgood re
tired in one, two, three order.
In the second inning Carolina made Q
pretty double--Cheshire to Hart to Nor.

Worth made a pretty but difficult catch
of flv in left and threw a man out at
second base.
