MACON TRIP.
The game in Macon Saturday week
played against the Mercer team wan one
of the prettiest six inning games of hail
that was ever played in that city. The
playing toward the tirsc was not what
the ’Varsity is in the liahit of playing
and by this same loose playing that win
ning rnu of the opposing team was
scored. After this, however, the hoys
buckled down for tne best game they
had played and but for that untimely
rain which cut it short the game would
have been one well worth seeing.
Morris pitched one of the best if not
the best game, during the season, strik
ing out twelve men of the nineteen outs i
that were made. The Vercer fellows
were completely queered when they got i
before him. Sandford pitched well hut
before our sluggers was not able to do |
much, live hits being scored otY him i
while there were only three gotten off j
Morris.
The game opened up with Mercer at
the hat. Harris, reaches fli>t on a I
scratch and by a series of loose playing
lie is allowed to run the bases and score.
The next three men go out ill one, two,
three order, two being struck out and
one flying out. The ’Varsity coining to
the bat was retired in regular order.
Halsey makes a hit but dies in the at
tempt to steal second. Kemp strikes
out and Spain fouls out.
In the beginning of the second, Morris
determines that no man shall see fiist,
and strikes out the first three coming to
the bat. The ’Varsity in this inning is
also retired without seeing tiist, Hall
striking out, Nally dying at first, and
Davis fanning.
In the third, Overton reaches first by a !
safe hit, Harley flies out, and Harris, C's, |
base hit brings Overton in, Sandford, .1,
fans the wind, but Sandford, W’s, two-
bagger brings in Harris, Hanis, F.
makes first, but Jackson dying at first
retires the side leaving two men on
bases. In this inning the ’ Varsity comes
in determined. Stubbs goes to first on
a scratch, Clarke makes a safe hit, and
by a pair of errors both men come in,
Morris flies out and Halsey and Kemp are
both thrown out at first, thus retiring
the side.
The score now stands three to two in
Mercer's favor. The ’Varsity is deter*
mined that no more runs shall be scored
by the opposition, while Mercer is
equally as determined that If any runs
are to be made she'll do the making.
Mercer comes to the bat, the first man
goes out at first, the next man fans
and the next man reaches first, but is
left there by Halsey flying out.
The 'Varsity is now at the bat. Spain
goes out on a fly, Hall dies at first, and
things are looking blue for this inning,
Nally's hit, however, carries ldin to first,
while Davis’ hit advances him, but
Stuhhn strikes out, leaving Nally and
Davis on bases.
In the beginning of the tiftli, a black
cloud is hovering over and threatens to
burst at any moment. Mercer comes to
the bat but is quickly retired by the first
man going out on a foul, while the next
two are struck out. Rain drops are now
beginning to fall and Me roe r is playing
fast to finish the fifth. Clarke flies out,
while Morris and Halsey strike out.
In the sixth. Mercer's first man goes
out to first, the next strikes out, the
next reaches first, but remains there
while the next man strikes out 'Var
sity comes in, and Kemp and Spain go
out to first, Hall reaches first on a hit.
but is left there by N illy going out to
first.
It is now beginning fo rain pretty
stifTly, but the seventh is begun by Over-
ton striking out, Halsey goes to first on
balls, but the game is now called on ac
count of rain.

CONCERNING HOTELS.
That tin* advertising a successful team
gives a college is almost the chief raison
d'etre of college athletics will he denied
by none. Vet almost invariably our
teams traveling to bruit abroad the ad
vantages and superiority of the Univer
sity of Georgia are put up at second-
cla.ss hotels—hotels in some cases which
self-respecting, rear-rank veterans of
Coxcy's army would think on a few
thousand times before partaking of their
iinliospitality.
Speaking only of the bad policy, there
is nothing that lowers a team more in
the eyes of citizens, that loweis ath
letics, that disgraces the college whose
ill-advised parsimony carries out such a
policy than the lodging of the athletic
representatives of a <*ollego at a hovel
whose only advantage is
cheapness.
How must an alumnus of Georgia fee)
when asked by a graduate of Harvard to
tike him to see a Southern team when
lie has to take him into some gloomy
hole whose only occupants an* bats and
toughs and the Georgia b am?
While in Savannah, when we played
football there, I rememlter with what
Sewaneo stops at the Aragon and
Georgia at the Kimball.
Auburn stops at the Aragon, Georgia
at the Ki in hall!
Leaving mere policy out, it is a dis
grace to the pride of the student body to
have their representatives fed and housed
where they themselves would not think
of stopping.
If Dcluiotiico were to have Ids cstah-
Hsunicut carted to Atlanta when we play
a game there next year, then we should
stop at Heluionleo's though it swamped
the Athletic Association and strapped
the entire student body, or we should
postpone our game until by hook or
crook sutlicicnt wherewith could he
scraped together to stop at the very best
place.
It makes no difference if the treat
ment is the same; it euts not an atom of
lee whether the Park hotel serves dia
mond hack stew, canvass hacks and
*I,<mmi,imh) fish which fattened oil the
mud on the north pole, If the lirown
house serves bread and water and has
tlie IIKMT IIKIUTATION, the manugcr
sliould not even dream of stopping any
where hut at the lirown house.
Tills is the sentiment of the student
body—n sentiment shaped by the very
college spirit, fostered by our athletic
teams.
We would rather have the team piny
tow n hull in Hast Athens ami never leave
the yard limits of Athens railroads than
stop at any hotel w hich was considered
even the smallest fraction less than the
best in town.
Georgia's honor and reputation is
above financial considerations.

THE PANDORA.
Owing to the hitch in the transference
of Kditor-in Chief from Uutncr (left col
lege) to Harris, and the consequent de
lay and hastiness of the production of
matter, it may not surpass the previous
editions, but it will have the best lot of
illustrations In luilf-tonc ever gotten in*o
one of our publications.
The volume will lie nearer square than
last year and w ill have I’AMDoHA printed
in gold diagonally across the front. This
name will be tlie dividing line between
the red and black parts of tlie page.
The book will lie put on sale at ’Var
sity Place mi June 7tli. Every student
should get olie.
