UNIVERSITY GOT It
Won From Wake Forest
in a Tight Game.
The Score Was Five to Three and the
Contest Was Witnessed BY the
Largest Crowd Of The
Season.


1t was the first inning in the game
yesterday that won out for the Univer-
sity ball tea mover Wake Forest. the
score being five against three.
OF course there are other complica-
tions that might have come out when
at the end of the first half the Chapel
Hill boys had three runs to the good

short stop the first inning in place
of three runs. the University would
not have scored in that inning. One
man was out when the short stop
threw over first the runner going to
second, the next man famed, but
then a single and home run piled UP
a total of three.
The greatest crowd of the season
witnessed the game which was tight

packed and great crowd stood.

gaily in the breeze. almost every young
woman wearing ribbons. 1t was a

OF course it is not going to help
affairs as to yesterdays game. but
the truth is that there was much
mismanagement in the handling of
the crowd. 1t may cure such evils
in the future by saying that it is not
fair to the people on the bleachers.

crowd of men and boys to line up

was a fragrant example of this nuis-
ance, which is utterly inexcusable in
the management that charged fifty
cents admission with the knowledge
that there is no proper accommoda

ball games. 1t is hoped that in flu
ture games provisions will be made to
allow ladies to see from their places on
