Qf^Ball, Losing By Margin
ms In First Game
SCORE ENDS 4-2
marines in fine form
This-Was The First Game For Elon
and Proves a Good Prospect For
The Home Team.
Elon lost the first game of the season
to the U. S. Marines here Friday, March
19th, by the score of 4-2, but displayed
a good brand of ball for a pre-season
game.
The Marines had it on the home play
ers as to form and were able to take
the best advantage of every break, but
were unable to connect with any degree
of ease with Fogleman’s benders. He
was working in mid-season form. Four
new men appeared on the Christian’s
line-up. who will greatly strengthen the
team for this year.
In the second inning Duncan, Cavan-
sugh, and Hannah bunched hits and
with Hudson’s sacrifice, drove in two
runs for the visitors. Hudson and Han
nah were responsible or the other two
runs by extra base hits.
There were no features to the game
other than the steady pitching of Fogle*
man and Parsons, and the improvement
which the Elon team showed in several
positions.
