The biggest game of the season will lie played Monday on the local diamond of the A. & M. College. Wake Forest will bring their strong aggregation of players over to face their old rivals. Only once in the last four years have the Baptists been able to wrest a victory from, the Farmers, and Monday will tell whether or not an other year will be added to the string. Wake Forest claims to have the strongest team of four years and A. & M. is somewhat-weaker than usual, but with Stafford in the box,' they will prove a formidable foe for any team. The Farmers still have a team that would give any team in the state a hard run, des pite their losses of this week. Frank Thompson has a team that would be hard to beat anywhere. Ctley'at first, Parker at second and Hillings at short, all of them Ral eigh boys, and Stringfleld at third, form a fast infield. The outer gar dens are well protected. Correll in left. Captain Faucette, another Ral eigh boy, in centre antl Beam In right. They are all hard hitters and fast fielders. Cates or Smith will probably do the mound work for tbe visitors. A. & M.will play their regular line-up. With Stafford in the' box and the team in good trim, any one who goes to the game will get hm money's worth. The Farmers will go into the game with a determina tion to win, and every man on the team w ill put fortW his best efforts. This 'being Easter holiday, St. Mary's, Peace and Meredith will be lliere in full force. Special trainB will be run Into the city for the game and fully three thousand are expect ed to be present.
