To “Mr. Itafe,” and gave him the wink,

“Ami to morrow I’ll the boys surprise.”
Hut “the boys” were not so easy to

They’re always tough in a college town.
Two of them entered Kite’s shop to
trade
(They had already prepared a raid

And one of them climbed the alley wall
And fastened a hook to the » o.it that’s

And up arose the coat. My Lord!

When he heard that Ills coit had Mown

'VARSITY BASE BALL TEAM.
While the class games were going on,
everybody said we had good material
for a team, hut what in the world were
we to do fora pitcher? What have we
done? Used two Juniors, Pettis and
Morris one, last year's'Varsity t wirier,
and the other, the pitcher of last year's
Emory team. Haven't they showed up
well? The work of Pettis against the

FIELO DAY.
The postponement of Field day to
Tuesday last ou account of the ruin*
probably injured the success of tiie oc
casion. After training for months, the
disappointment of postponement, caused
a number of fellows to break training
and very little was done between the
25th of April an I the I Itli of May.
If systematic Gaining hail been con
tinued, no doubt, more phenomenal rec
ords for the dashes would have been
made.
The young ladies of Lucy Cobh, who |
patronise all of our athletic exhibitions,
were out ill full force. To their pres
ence, the success of ths occasion in no
small measure w as due.

Craig Harrow an 1 F. C. Ferrell win

Mortis lias more strike-outs to his ered-
| it and fewer hits recorded against him
I than any other pitcher among the
Southern colleges. In Madison he
I struck out 20, in Columbus 13, and
I would have Increased tbc number had
lie not hurt bis wrist, and in Macon 12,
in 6 innings.
The strength of the team is in its
pitchers and batters. With scarcely an
exception, every man handles the stick
like a veteran, especially Hall, Spain and
Davis. The pretty base running of the
two latter deserves mention.
| Captain Kemp lias played good hall,
both at short and in left. Xally's catch
ing and hatting arc praiseworthy, and
improve with each game. His only
fault is in throwing to bases. Hall on
tirst is a great success. He is a splen
did all-round player and knows the
| game like a hook. The other Intlelders,
; Halsey, Clarke and Stubbs are playing
tiist-cIass ball. Kemp, Davis and Spain
in the outfield are all that could be de
sired—sure and (piick.
The team loet one of its best players
when Butler left. He played capital
ball every game. Lovcjoy and Kzclle,
wo know, will sustain their reputation,
as good plaoers whenever called upon.
Up to the Seewanee game the record
was.
At Athens Atlanta Professionals, 22;
Georgia, 5.
At Athens—Y. M. C. A., 2; Georgia,
13.
At Athens — Madison, 6; Georgia, 12.
At M idison — Madison, 8; Georgia, 1).
At Columbus—Auburn, 8; Georgia, 15.
At Macon—Mercer, (?)T; Georgia, 2.
This is the tirst season we have played
a full schedule of games, and the result
up to date is certainly one of which we
should feel proud. The best feature of
it all is that our won have played honest
hall. No one has yet had cause to
charge Georgia with anything unfair or
ungentlemanly, and we feel assured that
no such cause will arise.
Emory in Athens June 14, is the only
game on the schedule, so far as definite
ly known. We may meet Wofford here
may 25th, but it is doubtful.
A WRAPS0DY
My girl, she is a sweet one
She docs things in a speed,
She runs in ten or 'leven.
And in wheeling takes the lead.
She holds a rowing record.
And in hurdling is hot stuff.
Hot the one fault that I find in her,
Is, she isu't fast enough.
