PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS.
GA. VS. N. C.
Wo cannot but doplore North
Carolina’s unsportsmanlike be
havior and seeming insensibility
to justice as manifested in her
refusal to accredit Georgia with
tlie glory of a well-earned vic
tory.
We know that the stein is of
bitter brew, but inasmuch as
Carolina must drink it, she
should do so without face awry
and violent convulsion.
More than once havo we re
ceived honorable defeat at her
hands, and just so many times
have we accorded her such con
gratulations as should attend
success.
If we are foemeii worthy her
steel,—and horengagement with
us in brain and brawn, and
hereafter, possibly, brass, would
so indicate—she should not feel
so humiliated at defeat. We re
cognize in Carolina the best col
lege team in the South. We
know that her players are adept
in the science of the diamond.
We realize that our team is vir
tually a green squad. Hence
our exultation.
To what is Georgia’s victory
attributable? To Georgia grit
and Carolina conceit: on the
one side, grit which turns de
feat into victory ; on the other,
conceit which often frustrates
glorious possibilities.
Carolina thought we wore
swaddling clothes. We admit
that our equipments would nev
er bo mistaken for baseball out-
tits, but we protest and have
proven that apparel doth not
proclaim the player, and they
in Carolina of tho best skill
must admit it so.
Carolina has our apology for
the disguise and our defense of
it. We wear those clothes solely
out of deep deference to the
memory of Georgia's former
players. When we don them,
we feel that the many years vic
tories look upon us; and we
are onspurred to our furthest eff
orts. Let these habiliments not
suggest an impoverished ex
chequer or a disregard for the
styles that obtain.

Lynch’s eyes.
VALUE OF SATURDAYS GAME.
It would be well-nigh impos
sible to make an estimate of the
value of last Saturday’s game.
Haro mention of the future
money value makes the face of
Charlie Andrews shine with joy.
That end has lieen accom
plished in local baseball circles,
which Lee hoped to effect for
the Confederacy by his march
into Pennsylvania, and which
the Republican party claim to
have secured for the commercial
country, the restoration of con
fide nee.
The advance presumption of
defeat for Georgia will no longer
be conclusive, but at least dis
putable. There will be two pos
sibilities and a confident trust
in every future game.
We are perhaps again a draw
ing attraction in Atlanta. Our
friends may not bo sure of every
success,but they will place their
shekels upon a plucky light.
Practice will emerge from its
hitherto dopy desuetude and the
rivalry for representation will
again become animated.
Our opponents will no longer
come upon the diamond with
| confidence of superiority, a con
fidence which, when restrained
short of patronage and conde
scension, is dangerous.
Well may we gloat, for it is
the first heralded signal victory
in Georgia’s current year.
assumes the proportion of swip-'
ing a whole game, we propose i
to draw an indictment for bur-1
glary. We shall reserve the j
charges of holding, blocking, i
spiking and bat-throwing for an-1
other fusilade.
Guess who said, “ I thank
you very much, but I haven’t
any sugar with me.”
ENTHUSIASM.
No happier welcome was ever
extended to the returning victo
rious Roman than that which
greeted the ’Varsity upon its re
turn to Athens Saturday night.
LentuluS, we know, rolled in
his grave and lamented that lie
had lived too early, that he is
not now in the flesh and a ball
player.
The throbbing pain of bruises
was made into pulses of intense
delight; the smarting of skin
ebrasions became as the sooth
ing touch of a gentle hand ; sore
and stiffened limbs became lithe
again, and resolve was made
that if in future Georgia is beat
en, the boater will remember
the beating.
Though it has lain dormant,
Georgia and her Athens friends
yet have an abundance of right
eous enthusiasm.
Guess who tolled the chapel
hell about our victory Saturday.

CLEAN SPORT.
It is our pleasure to aver that
Georgia has not been adjudged
guilty of ono small or mean
trick upon tho diamond during
the baseball season.
In tlie course of one of the
Cornell games, one of the visit
ors’ caps was stolen. Imme
diately our captain learned of
of it, the cap went to Cornell.
This acknowledgement of such
an occurrence as being a source
of pride provokes a sneer from
initiated ball players. Such acts
are considered entirely legiti
mate, and opposition to them is
held puritanic. If puritanism
and theft are so nearly adjacent,
wo are glad to dwell in puri-
tania.
On one occasion, however,
justice was subserved by the
act of the injured party, when
Georgia cured thieving by theft.
Noting that raids were being
made upon our stock of base
balls, we made a counter as
sault upon tlie enemy’s bats, the
presumption being that Carolina
wished to make what we con
sidered a fair exchange. An
enumeration will show that the
score is even. That game is a
tie.
We may forgive the taking of
balls. we do commend the steal
ing of bases. Larceny is not
shocking. But when the wrong
TENNIS.
Since the annual field day is
passed and those who have been
regularly upon tho track are
without athletic work, it may
well be expected that tenais will
be begun. The courts are in
good condition and need but a
few hoe-strokes and a bushel of
lime to put them in good order.
If there is to be a tennis tour
nament in the University this
year, it should be a success. To
insure success, long practice is
demanded.
AH who are interested in ten
nis and desire to play should
learn the requirements.
The leaders should arrange
dates and details for a tourna
ment.
Guess who went to bed Satur
day night without taking a lit
tle hoarseness along.
PlELC DAY.
Much credit is due Manager
Erwin and Captain Johnson for
tho exciting events of Monday.
If one considers the hamper-
ings that were thrown off and
the difficulty of inducing men
to come upon the track, the ex
ercises were most creditable.
It seems impossible to make
the men work unless there is
prospect of entering an inter
collegiate meet.
Why are such inter-collegiate
contests held at so long inter
vals?
