Clean up this coat” -lie looked quite wise — “Ami to morrow I’ll the boys surprise.” Hut “the boys” were not so easy to down—- They’re always tough in a college town. Two of them entered Kite’s shop to trade (They had already prepared a raid t )n the tailor's shop that would have done Credit to Jesse James' own son) And one of them climbed the alley wall And fastened a hook to the » o.it that’s all — An I another chap pulled a lengthy cord, And up arose the coat. My Lord! Hut wasn't the Colonel mad next day, When he heard that Ills coit had Mown away! So this is the t til, or t lie of th * co it.

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?

Harvey's injury while pole-vaulting, in son was excellent, while it can lie stil tin' morning, and Hurt’s fall at the finish ted without fear of contradiction that 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.

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.
