both teams, cheering on favorites to
victory, and last. but n least, eigh-
teen doughty young base ball warriors
nine representing the Old North State.
nine representing the Old Dominion,
both aggrgations seeking TO bring vic
tory to their Alma Mater. The game
was called at 4.30 O'Clock, 1000 we've
present TO witness IL. The Virgtnians
were confident of victory. but their
confidence was soon turned into The
bitter realization OF defeat.
One word. Sitton. tells the whole
story. He undoubtedly pitched the best
game of base bail pitched on a south
ern diamond this season. His spit
ball. was simpiv unsolvable. He le-
tired man after hal on strikes and the
fact hat Virginia secured only one
hit tells how we'll he moved down his
rivals. He struck out seventeen. The
Carolina team played like clock york
and batted like hends. The majority
of the runs secured were earned. Car
DINA would easily have shut out Vir-
ginia but for a let up in sth inning.
Virginia got a man on base on an error
and he stole second and went home
on an error. This was their only run.
Virginia used two pitchers, Adams
started in TO pitch, but was battted
out Of the o in 9Th inning. Cole
relieved him and pitched good bail.
Carolina played an errorless game until
the ninth inning, when Virginia scor-
ed her one run on three errors,
Sitton's magnificent work was deserv-
ing of a shut out score. Sitton's pitcn-
ms, Winston's catchinf and team work
were features for Carolina: for Viz

He is probably the best pitcher that
