Especial to News and observer)


Chapel Hill, N. c., April 16.-Carolina
defeated Randolph-Macon College here To-
day by a score of Is to g. The weather
was cold And windy slight rain mixed
with bail fell during the whole game.
CThis is the third game Carolina has won
this week, and it raises Carolinas stock
several points.
The game, though little one sided,
was fairly interesting. Carolina went to
the bat first and was in the game from
start to finish, allowing her opponents to
score only three runs; one run each in the
third, sixth and seventh innings.
Harris pitched for Carolina and did it
beautifully, while Blakely started out for
Randolph Macon, but was batted SO heav-
lily by the Tar Heels and was so promis-
cous in his twirling that Trevilhan was
substituted for him in the third inning.
The features of the game were the hit
ting by the Tar Heels and the humorous,
good-natured talking of Randolph Macon S
first baseman.
Worth, third baseman for Carolina,
made star play by jumping high into the
ar anu SdICnllS a not lii0T III one
then throwing to second before The run
ner could retract his lead.
Mills was Randolph Macon's star. He
knocked clean hit deep into right field,
then made a home run.
This is the last game Carolina has be-
fore the 22nd, when she crosses bats with
her old rival. Virginia, in the first of a
series of three games. The game on the
END will be played here, and on the 23rd
the two teams will play in Greensboro.
Z Later they will play at Charlottesville,
