TENNIS TOUR
NAMENT OVER.
Ellis and Harper Win
ners in Doubles.
Large Number of Entries-Much
Interest Manifested.
'he Tennis Association has about
completed its annual spring tourna
ment. The doubles were finished sev
eral (lays since, the winners being
Messrs. Ellis and Harper. In the sin
gles all except ope niatc in the semi
finals and the finals have been played.
Messrs. Hydrick and Harper will con
test for first prize some time this
week.
The arrangement of the tournament
was different from that used last year.
The players were grouped by a special
committee of the association, and
handicaps were given those less expe
rienced in playing. The classification
was an extremely diflicult task, and it
was impossible to a-range the handi
caps so as to place every one abso
lutely on an epial footing. Notwith
standing this unavoidable drawback,
the entire series seems to have given
general satisfaction. It was the idea
of the management not to select the

Dr. Green's Lecture.
Dr. Edwin L. Green lectured in

by the use of many beautiful slides.
TIhis is Dr. Green's third lecture this
year, andl the large audience attending

MECHANICS
DEFEATED AGAIN.
Third Game Decides
Series for Carolina.
Varsity Never in Any Danger
Some Good Playing for Carolina
-Wednesday's Game Retrieved.
In the deciding game of the series,
on Saturday, the University easily de
feated the Mechanics, by a score of 7
to 3. The College team was never in
danger, as it bunched tip six scores in
the first three innings. Much solid
-hitting was indulged in on both sides.
Likewise some- rocky fielding was in
evidence, particularly on the Mechan
ics's side of the score-sheet. Shaw
pitched well until the third, when the
Mechanics populatecL the bases heavily.
Jones then went in, and the Mechan
ics went out. Harper pitched the last
two innings without any mishap.
Thackhain led the Mechanic sluggers
with three to the "tall, uncut" out of
four times up. Vatts did the best
willow work for Carolina. He scored
two men with a timely single and beat
out two pretty bunts, averaging 1.000.
Foxworth, as usual, ran bases beauti
fully, and. slid a hunldred yards in

Varsity Shut Out by Leaduers.
In a most unsatisfactory exhibition
on Tuesday evening, the University
was smothered by the Columbia S. A.
L. team. The hits were evenly divided,
Columbia getting seven and Carolina
five, but when it came to fielding
well, the less said about the Univer
sity's efforts in this direction, the bet
ter. The idea of facing profes.;ionals
seemed to put the collegians right up
in the air. Ten runs were massed by
the foreigners in the first two rounds
and the score began to assume foot
ball dimensions. A fter this, however.
the Carolina team settled down and
played some real good baseball. Caro
lina had several good chances to score
(uring the evening, but some iipossi
ble circus catch would break up the
possibilities every time. Harper
pitched gilt-edged ball, only seven
safeties being registered against him.
He displayed remarkable grit also in
pitching his best all through the game
after such a disheartening start. Two
men did all of Carolina's hitting. Fox
worth got three and Havird two hits.
Two of .Foxworth's were infield
cracks. On Saturday the teams meet
again, andl a far better showing will be
mnade. Scorec by innings:

retaries of the International Y. M. C.
A., conferred with a represcntative
body of students and faculty Tuesday
morning with reference to securing a
studeit secretary for Carolina. Mr.
Willis' visit was uiexpected, and only
a few hours' notice of the meetiig
was given. The hearty response of
the studelnts, however, in attending
this call meeting showed that much
interest was felt in this movement.
)ean A. C.. Moore presided, and
very al))rol)riately intro(hced the
speaker. Mr. Willis spoke of the
work being done at wther institutions,
showiing what an ixportant part stu
dent secretaries are taking in develop
ing the religious and social life of the
colleges. Mr. Willis was asked to
outline the work which a student see

Receives Letter From Kind of
Endland.
We take pleasuire in noting that one
of the membhers of our student body
has resumed his corresponlence with
King Edward of England. It was
feared for a while by his Majesty's
court that his student friend had takei
some offense and thus preserved a deep
silence. However, the reception at
the campus postoffice of a letter
marked with the kiig's seal and water
marks, and from Edward's own pri
vate secretary, marked the reopening
of friendly intercourse ; also al, era of
unusual prosperity for the recipient of
the missal. The arrival of the king's
letter was a genuine pecuniary bless
ing to the college student, who had
m)iade a bet with a friend that lie could
stir the royal preseiice sufficiently to
draw forth an acknowledgment. 'lhe
appeal was elo<Iuent, an(d he won.
Mr. Rice on Game as an Asset.
Mr. James Hleiry Rice spoke to the

crease of game in South Carolina since
the Civil War, and told something of
the plans of the Audubon Society for
saving the remaining game. Mr. Rice
is secretary of the Audubon Society,
and has a very wvide knowvledge upon
this sub)ject. His speech was listened
to with great interest by the students.

tation and his interpretation of Shake
speare is always milost satisfactory.
Ile colmes with recommienldations f rom
many Northern and Southern univer
sities before whom lie has lectured.
and no doubt his readiig will be one
