Miss Alberta M. Bragg and S. C.

dinner guests at the Alpha Chi
Omega house Sunday.
The Sigma Cbis sprung somewhat
of a surprise on baseball dopesters
by defeating the Sig Alphs Monday
afternoon by a score of 7 to 4. 1 he
Sig Alphs made three runs in the
first inning but after that both teams
tightened up and it was no body's
game until the last inning.
Odds favored the losers before the
game but in a fair fought contest
McCorkle, twirling for the Sigma
Cliis, out pitched his opponent,
"Chunky" Little, and good fielding
on both sides made it a pitchers'
battie.
For the winners, I.oofbourrow,
Duncan and McCorkle did the best
playing. Meadows' batting was a
feature' but his fielding was poor.
Davis and Greer were the best for
the Sig Alphs.
The batteries:—Sig Alphs, Little
and Abbott; Sigma Chi, McCorkle,
and Colliding.
Score by innings:
Sigma Alpha Epsilon..310 000 0

Kappa Alpha meets Phi Gamma
Delta this afternoon.
Bennie's nine took two games
from the Central Normalites on
Boyd field Friday and Saturday,
winning the first baseball contest of
the season by a score of 4 to 1 and
the second with nijie runs to one for
the visitors. Both games were won
easily but the brand of baseball .put
up by the locals was not the kind
usually shown by the Varsity squad.
Meadows and Davis pitched the
first and second games respectively
and held the hits of their opponents
to a minimum but received poor
fielding and batting support. Mea-
dows fanned thirteen and gave only
two hits. Davis allowed four scat-
tered singles while the other members
of the team were whiffing the ball and
muffing it in almost fifty percent of
the chances. Bristow's double was
the only hit made by the Sooners in
the second game.
The team' was weakened by the
loss of shortstop Fears, who was de-
clared ineligible in both games.
Manager Gentry was not behind the
plate in either game but Groom and
McCorkle both looked good in that
position. The remainder of the team
was changed so much during the two
games that it is apparent that the
regulars are not yet chosen and
practice will continue for several days
before any one can be sure of a
berth.
Batteries in the first game were
as follows: Meadows, McCorkle, and
Groom; Emerson, Potter and Hol-
land.
Scorc by innings: R. H. E.
Central 000 001 000 1 2 6
Oklahoma 000 102 10 4 6 4
Batteries for the second game
were Davis, Groom, and McCorkle
for Oklahoma, and Spearman, Will-
iamson and Holland for Central.

BETAS DEFEAT
SIGMA NUS2TO 1
Closely Contested Game Goes To
Betas In Second Of Inter-Fra-
ternity Baseball Series.
Beta Tlieta Pi defeated Sigma Nu
Friday afternoon by a score of 2 to
1 in the second game of the inter-
fraternity series. The game was
closely fought and was not decided
until the last of the secenth inning
when Carl Ford, twirling for the
followers of Wooglin, pitched him-
self out of a serious hole and kept
the Sigma Nils from evening up the
score.
With two men down and three
men on bases. Cox, a varsity man,
plying shortstop for the opposition,
placed an easy one to first and the
game was over without an additional
score.
For the winners Minton, Hamin, and
Ford were the most dependable, both
in hitting and field work. Bosworth
pitched a good game for the Sigma
Nus but timely hits and bad fielding
on the part of his team-mates allowed
the two scores. H. Bosworth and
Cox also did good work for the
losers.
The batteries:
Beta Tlieta Pi: Ford and
Hamm.
Sigma Nu; Bosworth and
Booth.
Score by innings:
Betas 000 101 0
Sigma Nus 000 010 0
