huSn.
The ball ground yesterday afternoon
was a scene of noisy hilarity. Two old
time but friendly rivals were to wrestle
for victory. A. and M. had won the day
before, and Wake Forest wanted to
even up. The crowd filled the bleacher6
and stretched out all over the ground.
On the right the ladies and the A. and
NJ. boys had right of way. Red and
white. A. and NJ colors, fluttered from
the caps of pretty girls, from the ends
of walking canes, from buggy whips,
some ribbons were gorgeOusly large and
flung high; some were but tiny bits of
peeping colors, but they showed where
sympathy was. On the left some two
hundred Wake Forest boys, who had
come in on a special train, flung high
their old gold colors, and answered shout
with shout.
1t was a merry crowd and one could
shut his eyes and tell which one of the
contestants was winning as the enthu-
siastic rivals cheered every play on their
respective sides.
At the beginning of the game Shan
and for several innings pitched gilt
edge ball. But in the fifth inning his
arm seemed to weaken and the Baptist
boys made several hits off him. Then
A. and NJ. put Holt in and the Wake
Forest boys scored no more. The game
was really lost to Wake Forest by a
wild throw by Dunn, when A. and NJ
had three men on bases.

support was ragged at times. Some of
the players behind him. however, played
earnest and accurate ball.
The A. and NJ. team played steady and
at times brilliant ball The team shows
better coaching and better team work
than in any previous season.
The two games between these two col
leges have been clean, manly exhibitions
and have been greatly enjoyed by the
crowds present.
