A tense and hushed silence spread over the vast throng; The uni- Tirn was A.finnnnnAin9 thu hntfnrips. And then a great burst of cheeiing, which shook the enormous stadiums from tbp to foundations, broke forth' npoir the Still atmosphere. , Indeed, tne?e was rea son for this glad outburst. . The re nowned and universally famous hoi te niae tosser, jf lg-Jtuye " Towier, ana nil equally competent and popular, mate, the All Fiji Island star, "Beef" Ketchie, had taken their positions. Calm was finally restored, and the great umpire, Thomas James Wilson, HI, called "BATTEE-TJPI " Larry Moore . James walked shrdlu shrdlu" shrdlushrii advanced to the plate. His team mates were confident; his opponents were dismayed. The stands rocked with noise. Everybody was in a state of ' ' de lirium tremens;; The pitcher shot one" fiver with a ve: locity that would make Walter Johnson hide his face with shame. The great champion swung to meet the ball; His form was excellent and the arc described was a large one, but there Was , no , re sounding crasnj Mis opponents roared; his supporters wereV, downcast; , , ... . "STE-RIKE ONE-EE!" shouted the ump. . Again he swung with the same re suit. His fellows thought the game was surely , lost, The invincible ."PigiEye ,f was winding for another. And then it earner The batter swung. There . was a frightening cracking and splintering Of wood, and he was racing for first. The stands on the right went wild. Every body jumped up , and knocked down hii neighbor beside him. Colors were wav ing. A beautiful rose, thrown by some fair damsel in the throng above, struck the racing hero in the face, He looked up and smiled, but his business was farther on and he could not delay. But alas I The inevitable, the un thinkable, had happened ! The nonpa reil Larry had bunted I He suffered an ignominious death on first. , , "Mighty" Smith followed him, and fanned! The game was certainly lost. Despair was widespread. And then came Pat Cummins, who, through main strength and awkardness, managed to get on first, but died there, oh account of Shamburger's pop fly; . And so the game rocked along until the last of the ninth. The score ( was 0-0 and the game promised to end in a tie. But then , things began to hapepnf , The great Towier came to the bat and singled over second. "Beef" followed, and after much persuasion, the pitcher walked him. It only required five min utes for him to walk to first and by that time "Runt" Lowe had advanced to the plate. ,, He also, singled, and the bases were full. ' "With becoming, dignity, "Fatty " Stevens threw off his blanket and step ped forth. He was the hope of the cen tury. He it was who had been selected by Providence to vanquish , the rivals. : His position was one of the greatest im ' The pitcher hurled the pill with greaf momentum, and Steve let it go just for luck.

Steve spat upon' liis hands, grasped the stick firmly spun around on his heels thre times, and let 'go at it. There was, a eolljsLon, and the catcher ducked. The ball iii its backward move ment missed Mr Pickard by a hundred thousandth of a millimeter, and crashed into the window'-; of South. There was a splintering and. breaking of glass, and a dull thud , as three ' chairs, the table, and two dressers succumbed to the at tack of the onrushing missile and turned over. - 3 ' JMjota 5s BP- 3 Have it Framed Before it Becomes Soiled BIG ASSORTMENT OF MOULDINGS FOiSTER'S "STRIKE TWOO-ty" was the ump's decision.

A great sob , passed over the assembled throng. It had done it! The poor little unsuspecting bird had been struck by the unrelenting pill, and it fel to tha ground stone-dead. .. .The , three runners had long sines reached home, but where was "Fatty.". When, after fifteen minutes, the dudt had settled enough to distinguish human forms, it was found that , 1 ' Fatty ' ' was lying prOrie acrOSS the first sack, whie1! he had been able to reach by knocking a home-run) with the first baseman sitting on his head, the ball held securely in his right hip pocket. , .

S; BERNARD SPEAKS TO FORSYTH ALUMNI , On last Friday night in Winston-Salerh Prof; W. S. Bernard, before the members of the Forsyth County Alumni Associa tion, presented the cause of the proposed Students Activities, building as a. me morial to the name and service of the late Dr. E. K. Graham. Prof. Bernard in presenting the plan tor the proposed building showed how the University, the faculty, and the students as a man had leaped forward to the call of service on all occasions. With , the county club' work, the high schools contests, the folk players, the students and faculty have met the call to service. Graham put Carolina on the map, said Prof. Bernard. All universi ties were at a loss as to what to do with the S. A. T. C, but ours is the only one in the oSuth that went back to its regular work smoothly, because, under ms preparation,, the University was ready. President Graham, said Prof. Bernard, was as much a casualty of the great struggle as the men who died in the trenches. From his deathbed came the , admonition, Boys, Carry On." And these boys are carrying on their enorts to erect tne building to his mem ory because it is carrying on his work and Is a memorial to his work. The speaker told of the active part the Gra ham spirit had played in the student ac tivities, ' and in creating on the campus the . spirit of a democratic citizenship that had resulted in the Student Council, or government by the student body. which is the case in no other big univer sity in the country today. Ine plan for this building: was con ceived by President Graham," and :s to serve as a home for student activities. social intercourse, and a place to enter tain the relatives and friends visiting the students. Prof. Bernard told of how in twenty minutes the students at the University now, subscride $20,000 to the fund oil top of the heavy subscriptions to Liberty Loans and to the war saving funds.: , In conclusion Prof. Bernard said that the greatest figure of the waT Is-gone, .but ..his moral, social, and civic; work will live down through the" annals' of time. This memorial work should not be confined to the alumni of th State., Others who have felt his influence -.vbuld consider it a deprivation not ot be per mitted to assist in building a moauuvmt to our leader,, a monument that will rep resent in every .sense the spirit and ln-j fluences started by one Of Carolina's most loved sons. Mr. Theodore Bondthaler followed Prof. Bernard and: spoke of the love of the students for Dr. Graham becausa he stood, for the whole man, and knew al most every student by his given name.. The building, said Mr. Bondthaler. will be the embodiment of the heart of Car olina, the "E. K." spirit that permeates' the whole campus. " . ' ; J.ne Winston-Salem ournal savs that the interest shown by the former Uni-i versity men at the meeting indicates that the local asosciation will get behind the movement and give liberally' toward , the erection of this memorial building which will mean so much to the life of the students, as well as to the visitors to the university. ... ; v; v: At the meeting resolutions of regret of the death of Drs. E. K. Graham, M.' H. Stacy, and K. P. Battle were passed by the association. V FORMS OF CITY GOV'T i DISCUSSED BY N. C. CLUB The flifffirnnt. fnrma nf rifv ment in vncmfi in t,hn T?

SMOKER AROUSES INTEREST OF THIS END OF COUNTY (Continued from Page 1) Admiral Simms says that in spite of the fact that he -has cracked his voice, and labored industriously for nearly a year trymg to train his awkward squal, their knowledge as to military tactic? seems to be growing in a minus direction each day. The committee has asked a review of this squad, now since they are soon to be mustered out of the service,, and the Admiral has finally given his consent to display the knowledge of the squad. ' ' The gym squad is to pull off some of their clever stunts during the last part of the smoker. The stunts themselves' are worth a good afternoon's entertain ment, and none should miss them. Check Burton, who caught quite a number of new stunts from the leading jugglers of New York during his stay up there last summer, will stage al lthese new stunts with some of his old one 'which the audi ence never tires of. The Queen of Sheba announces that she will be glad, to introduce all of hen leading actresses just after the showj If you want to meet the leading twen tieth century stars be sure and remain; for a few minutes after the curtaini drops. All must wear green ribbons and bring fifty eents. ' SENIOR SMOKER FOR CO-EDS WAS A MOST DELIGHTFUL AND ENJOYABLE NOVELTY (Continued from Page 1) proved how much the :, averaged reader observed outstanding advertisement slog-: ans. The prize fell t Miss , Pritchard and Mr Curtis Volger, the booby going to Master Samuel Calvert, although con tested by Dr. Moss, who said: "I only answered one, and got that wrong be cause I. said Coca-Cola was the national drink." . Prof. Collier Cobb was, then - intro duced. Of course he prefaced his re marks with several jokes. He then told of some of Carolina's first co-eds and of one who .wrote a love poem to her English professor, and the , poem came out in the college publications. Then, as there is a great deal of interest on the campus iri. North Carolina folk lore, Prof. Cobb, who ii aii authority on the folk as well as on the rocks of the state, traced some folk stories of the eastern coast back to the days if Sir Walter Ealeigh. He then" read, some of these as written for the mdgstzine several years ago by men f roifl the coast region, who had gotten , tieM stories as they had been hftlided down for generations. "The Strlfig-ed Tour" next put in their appearance. While the young ladies daintily munched Salted almonds and the men enjoyed "Lord Chester Holds' '. in spite of the luxury tax, all thfe latest rags' Were rendered by this partly imported orchestra. Dr, Moss was then given the floor. "I always believe in a man following his calling, but I ant, not going to preach tonight.
