The Elon baseball team which has been trailing the dust during the season staged a wonderful come-back and won the last two games scheduled. The fight ing spirit, which is characteristic of Elon teams ,and which has been lacking this season, was in evidence during these two games. There was team work and the whole nine worked smoothly behind the pitchers who were in great form. The teams which fell before Elon’s eleventh hour rush were Lenoir and Davidson. The former losing to Maroon and Gold 4 to 3 and the latter 2 to 1. Lenoir G-ame The Christians defeated Lenoir here Friday, April 27 by a score of 4 to 3. The visitors used three pitchers in their effort to defeat the Christians. Errors, wild pitches, and free passes were re- flponsible for the largest part of the scoring, only one earned run being credit ed to each team. Kaniker began mound duty for the visitors but was relieved by iJidPs in the second inning. Sides took the h^^lm while the bases were full, but i)y preit\' pitching retired the Christians from their half of the inning without scoring. Sides, however, became wild in the sixth and issued three free passes. Lindley followed with a hit which scor ed two runs. Moose took charge of the pitching station for Sides in the 7th And finished out the game. Three errors allowed the _ visitors two runs in the 8th. Boggs followed with a circuit clout, the only home run hit this season by any team on Comer field. The visitors were one run ahead in the final half of the last inning, but Brown got on by error and scored on fl wild pitch. Marlette hit safely and Underwood broke^up the game with a three bagger sc^'ing Marlette. Eogleman did steady work for Elon allowing only four hits. Elon secured nine hits from the three Jjenoir pitchers. Elon defeated Davidson here yesterday afternoon befon* one of the largest crowds of the season. Davidson Game Barker, who did the twirling for the home team, was in fine form and had the edge on his opponent, Sorrells, who was on the mound for the AVildcats. The scoring began in the first inning when S. Alford hit one into deep center for four sacks. In Elon’s half of the first Brown beat one out and scored on Marlette’s single. Sorrell held the ■Christians until the eighth when Mar- lette's hit again featured in a mu. Davidson threatened in the ninth when they had men on third and first and Sorrells at bat with three balls and no strikes called on him. At this point Fogleman relieved Barker and with three baffling twisters from his strong ftSDi he caused the Wildcat pitcher to whifE the air. The hitting of S. Alford . ^nd the pitching of Sorrells were the ■outstanding features for Davidson. The shining marks for Elon were Barker, who allowed only five hits, Fogle- Dian who delivered in the pinch by whif fing Sorrells, and Marlette’s three hits which counted for half those secured by tis team. He also stole two bases. Underwood caught a good game. Miss Jennie Gunter spent the week end in Greensboro, N. C., with relatives.

Mr. Barker, who is a member of the com ing senior class, is very popular on the campus. He is an all-round athlete as i.s evidenced by the fact that he plays baseball, football and basketball. He is one of the mainstays of the varsity pitching staff, this being his third year as a member of the team. He is not only an athlete, but takes an active part in other activities of college life.

STATELY OAKS GIVE WAY FOR LIRRARY R0ILDIN6 The stately oaks are now falling as the ground is being cleared preparatory to the digging of the foundations for the library building. It was at one time thought that this building would be post poned for sometime, but later considera tion has changed this early decision. Many of the oaks have already fallen and many more are marked as doomed. The building will be placed a little to the rear of the administration building on the side next the West dormitory. The library building will conform to the general plan of architecture and will be one corner of the quadrangle with the administration building as the center. It is to be modern in every detail and will have space for one hundred thous and volumes or more. The money for the erection of this' building has already been given by a generous friend of the college. Work on the four buildings will be carried on at the same time. In this way much time can be saved in the construction pro gram. PAGEANT IS PRESENTED BY JUNIOR EKDEAVORERS Dixie Endeavorer Theme of Pageant —Mrs. C. M. Cannon in Charge of Meeting.
