EDITORIAL MEN—AT HOME The announcement that the men of Guilford College were to have a place for lounging, a place where they could invite their friends for a congenial conversa tion, a place where men's com mittee meetings and gatherings may be held, went like wildfire through the Alumni ranks and Guilford students. It was an an nouncement that brought enthusi astic response from everyone. A voicing of the possible material ization of such a plan caused gen eral expression of optimistic as sent. But where was the wherewithal to be secured? The Alumni have promised to secure the funds, and activity has been observable in all Alumni centers, under the su pervision of president of the Alumni Association, R. J. M. Hobbs. The Alumni are again re sponding to the needs of the Col lege. Last spring, the awakened interest caused by the endowment campaign brought returns much more valuable than pecuniary re sponse; a personal interest, an en thusiastic support of the advanc ing college was manifest every where. What the Alumni is, so is Guilford President Binford recently used the term "Messengers of Guilford" in speak ing of the graduates. A lounging room is not a newly developed need. The peculiar arrangement of Cox hall in sec tions has always demanded a com mon meeting place. The men can not feel at home at Founders— Miss Louise sees to that. One's bed room is hardly a place for social meeting, particularly when there exists only two chairs, which in spite of all manipulation can hard ly accommodate more than four people, two deep. It is going to be great to have lounging room! What a relief not to have to send advance agents to one's room to make a clearing, and to pitch ev erything into the closet, when the feminine members of one's family suddenly arrive.

'"He quieted the batsmen of op losmg teams quickly and was so formidable a hitter that opposing hurlers dreaded to see him step to the .plate. In fact, Zaphary early established a reputation as a fence buster, and for a time was recognized as the best batsman in his own and bordering counties. "From the graded school team Zachary went to the Saxapahaw nine of Alamance and southpawed it to a county championship. Then he entered Guilford College, a Quaker institution of learning near Greensboro, N. C., where he soon stepped into the shoes of Ernie Shore, former leading pitch er of the varsity team who had r raduated into the ranks of the Red Sox. "That was in 1915 and the red hatched Tar Heel remained at Guilford through the spring of 1918. He then entered the Red Cross unit being mobilized for ser vice in France, and. having achiev ed his ambition of starring on a college mound, forgot about base ball for a time. "But while his unit was quar tered in Philadelphia awaiting transportation abroad, our pitcher again heard the call of the dia mond. The Athletics were playing at Shibe park at the time, so Zach ary visited there and asked the us ually sagacious Cornelius McCil licu ddy for a trial. "Connie never had heard of Zachary, but was willing to take a •hance with almost any one, ball '"vers being scarce at that stage of the World w"* - -t tV outhpaw slagman into a Mack un iform. "Pitching under the name of V alton, the Tar Heel participated ;i several games and was credited with two victories. Then came the all to France and he sailed with he Red C ross unit. "Now Zachary had really sign •d no contract with the Athletics, ?o, after the armistice, in Novem ber, 1918, when he began to con sider seriously baseball as a pro ession, he first wrote Clark Grif :ith, then manager of the Nation als, seeking a trial. He always tad longed to see Washington and e: koned he might get a job there. "But at that he was surprised when, in February, 1919, he re eived a cablegram from Griffith jrdering him to report at the Na ional's training camp the next month. Now Zach was under ar il) orders and had no chance to ;et out of France at the time, so le never bothered about a reply. "But he did not forget the offer, nor did he forget that Connie Mack had looked him over, so when he at last arrived in the United States on June 22, 1919, he hurridly dispatched letters to Griffith and Mack. Replies came from both. Griffith's asking for an appointment in Philadelphia on the following Friday, and Mack's one day later. Zachary, of course saw Griffith first and hereupon became a National. "Few people in baseball know Zachary's real front names. He tas been Jezebel Tecumseh to ■ports writers and fans ever since he came to Washington. He signed his original contract 'J. T. Zachary,' and Griffith failed to ac quaint himself with the signiti •ance of the "J. T," at the time. So Jezebel Tecumseh, the Tar Heel, was dubbed by press box wags, and Jezebel Tecumseh he now is, so far as baseball is con cerned.'' FATHER OF MISS POLK DIES AT VINCENNES, IND.
