P
I
T. C. U. won both of the games
iiere last Friday and Saturday by
tsrores of 5 to 2 and 2 to 1. The
first game Randall was in the box
for T. C. U. and Ayers for S. U.
While Randal had the better work,
*he scores made off Ayerj were due
tfo the errors of his team mates.
The features of the game were a
fiome run by Randal and the base
running by the locals. Out of
three times at bat Stone got two
^singles and stole three bases.
The second game was a much
ibetter game than the first.
Each team is charged with three
•errors. Druke allowed only two
hits, both of them decidedly on the
scratch variety. Only five singles
were made off Stone's delivery. T.
C. U. scored both her runs in the
second. Baldwin went to first on
Putnam's error. Daniels flew to
left. Baldwin stole second, and
-went to third on Frizzell's single,
frizzell stole second. Witt singled
scoring Baldwin. Ayers let the
intl get by him and Frizzell scored.
Perkins hit to short, and Witt got
<canght at third Thomas flew to
left.
S. U. made her score in the
4
third. Sykes struck out. Vaughn
walked, took second on a wild
pitch. Brown flew to second.
Vaughn went to third on wild pitch.
Ayers was safe on short's error and
:stole second. McLain hit one too
ihot for third to han lie, and Vaughn
rscored, Ayres going to third.
Jackson hit by pitched ball, filling
the bases. Howard flew to second.
It looked in the first like T. C. U.
was going to score. Perkins hit.
Thomas safe on Vaughn's error.
Randal advanced both on sacrifice.
There was only one down, but
Stone rose to the occasion and
struck out two men.
Druke struck out 14, but hit 2,
walked 2 and is charged with 2
wild pitches. Stone struck out
only 5 but allowed no free passes,
Jhit men or wild pitches.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Delayed from last week.
Saturday, the twenty-filth, was
the prettiest day of the year for a
tennis game, the wind that had been
rather high dropped just before the
game as if on purpose. Snyder's
court was in splendid shape. The
warming up of Strickland showed
that he was in splendid form The
singles was played first. For
Southwestern, McLain. For Bay-
lor, Strickland. The very first
game aroused strong interest, and
the players never permitted it 10
abate for a moment throughout the
three sets.
McLean led off by winning the
first game, but only after a tough
fight which promised great things
to follow. McLean's serve proved
to be too much for Strickland,
though he did not seem to realize
it, playing throughout as steadily
and hopefully as if his final victory
was a foregone conclusion. To
make up for McLean's superiority
in serve Strickland had him bested
on the return, making many seem-
ingly impossible returns. But in
spite of Strickland's steady playing
McLean took the first set from him
by a score of 6 to 3.
The second set opened very un-
favorably for S. U , McLean having
sickened in the last part of the first
set, and was not able to stand up to
Strickland, who was thirsty for re-
venge on the first set.
The third set, which was to de-
cide the contest was the most excit-
ing of all. Both players appeared
to have saved their most brilliant
fireworks for the last se{. But again
Strickland bad to go down despite
his dogged playing, losing- in score
in singles 2 sets to 1 for T. C. U.
The doubles opened amid much
guying and boosting from the side
lines. McLean seemed fagged out
atter his singles, while Strickland
seemed to have merely worked up a
healthy sweat and proceeded to give
us various gymnastic stunts to
show us how fit he was for the
doubles. Southwestern won the
first set of doubles in a walk,
Ward's brilliant playing being the
feature of the game, while Tarelton
did .not show up so well in the first
set. The second set Tarelton
seemed to take a sudden interest in
the game and McLean to develop a
propensity for stopping up the balls
for Baylor, while Ward began tak-
ing vengance on the further back
stop for some imaginary wrong.
The Baylor team took the last two
sets so rapidly and vastly that they
left nothing to write. about them.
