TRINITY SOON PLAYS PRINCETONJJKIVERSITY Dlyham, N. C., March 17.?Owing to the persistent bad weather, thr opening of the baseball season has been delayed somewhat here. The first two games scheduled, with the Trinity Park school and with Atlantic Christian College^!havo had to be ?0*fcpo*ed, smMro^ths presoni oijilo6k, it "would geum that it win *tm be several days before the initial gam? can be plgyed. All this necessary delay In opening the season Is regarded as very unfortunate by the Trinity rooters who are anxious to see what sort of a game the 'varsity nine is going to put up against worthy opponents this season. The line-up for the season has not been definitely given out by Coach Atkins as yet. but in all probability It will be as follows: first base. Patterson; Second base. Thompson; 4bird base, Baird; left field. Litchfield; center field, Spence; right field, Bdgerton or Adams, and catcher. Maddox or McLean. The pitching stag wilt do tfifcdd up~pr-'Godfrey. Fitzgerald, Knight, and Kanlpe. In recent practice games, these players have been showing up splendidly. Fitzgerald has been pitching in fine style, fanning the majority or those facing him at the bat, and Maddux and McLean havo been working behind the bat like veterans. These two are running neck to neck for the Job behind the bat, and as both are splendid players, both Will probably make the place. John Thompson Is battling M fiercely this yoar as ever. and has already knocked several planks loose on the center field fence Bdgerton and Litchfield, two recruits from the prep school have also been getting in a good batting .record in the practice games. The student body Is eager to see what kind or work they are going to do againts opposing teams in big games and are speculating freely on the vprious members of the team.. Probably the biggest game of the season Is scheduled to take place next Thursday at Greensboro, when the Trinity team will cross bats with the team of Princeton Unlverltsy. A plan was on foot to run a special train to Greensboro on this occasion <er the benefit of the students and -tflWMpa/lpTir whn wished-tn writnese the game, but the faculty tabooed the scheme. .However, many of the student* express the intention of seeing the game anyhow. Princeton plays-only two games in the State, and Manager Warlick was fortonate in securing one of these dates. Next Friday, shot her big game is scheduled to take platoe. This Is the game with Pennsylvania State and iftll be played at Durham. MOIUB.AUD MUM: PUOOR TO CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
