During the Game Which Was

The very air was vibrant with unre-
trained enthusiasm during the game.
And when with the score nine to two
in favor of the A. and Nj. Cadets against
the State University team the end came
pandemonium broke loose at the ball
grounds.
And last night it invaded the precincts
of the city. taking in st. Mary's and 1t
came. whirling around to Peace Institute
and the Baptist Female University, and
with band a-beaten' and a-blowin' march
ed down Fayetteville street, split wide
open with yells. and in its abandonment
played at everybody and cheered every
body.
The cadets had right to be gleeful,
for this is the first victory they have
scored against the State University. Time
and again they have fallen before It's
triumphant colors. but yesterday the white
and red swung above the white and blue.
1t was hot game, a splendid game
that the great audience OF rooters saw
fought to a finish on the diamond. The
Young ladies from st. Marys almost
equally divided in their waving OF colors
and pretty little yells, say it was great
game. 1t was anybody's game till the
seventh inning came with the score two
TO two, and then A. and M. ball playing
and headwork, coupled with fortune s
smiles, Just swept down all Obstacles and
added six more runs. That settled the
case without a coroner to sit on the re-
mains, and it was all over, but the shout
ing. lot of which had arrived when
A. and M. first tied the score and then
went it one better.

to be the prettiest. snapplest and most
exciting seen on the diamond this year.
The supporters of the Red and White and
Blue and, White were about equally di-
y;tled large crowd having arrived on
the morning trains from Chapel Hill and
Trinity to support the visitors. When
the game was called both teams went IN
confident of victory, and until the seventh
inning both sides looked like winners OF
the great game. Both teams had,a record
of losing six straight games, and the game
played the day before by Carolina with
Cornell. proved that battle was due to
arrive. and it did.
Hart pitched his first game of the sea-
son for Carolina, and was effective at
times till the home team struck batting
streak in the seventh inning, netting four
hits, resulting in six runs. His support
was ragged. For A. and M. McLaurin
pitched a fine game and was well sup
ported, every man at his post.
The features CT the game was A. and
Ms batting. McLaurin's pitching and the
infield work of A. and NJ. Donnelly and
Cheshires playing for the visitors in great
shape.
In the seventh inning A. and NJ. won
the game. With one man down Asbury
was presented with a free pass. Howle
reached first base safely and Asbury was
safe on second base. when Hadley landed

and scored Springs and Knox. McLaurin
retired, fly to third baseman. Harris
walked and Miller singled. scoring Brock
