BASEBALL PROSPECTS BRIGHT AT CAROLINA Old Men and New Material Work Hard for Showing Team. Coach Driver has been working out the baseball squad regularly for the past two weeks. So far lie has .only had infield practice, but will probably begin scrimmage in a few lays. The material this year is good and everything gives promise of a successful season. There are a num ber of new men trying out as well as many who won fame with the ash and the horsehide on Davis field last year. Fritz vonKolnitz will possibly be seen manoeuvering around the first sack this season, while Sam Owens -, works out as backstop. "Pappa" Watts, the Gamecock general, will again furnish that infallible "well" out in center. Perrit. Green and Gage show most promising material for a strong pitching staff. The team will be materially crippled by - losing Tommy McMillan and Big John Mills, who did such good work last year, and every man on the cam pus hopes to see this pair back in the game before the season is much older. Manager McDonald has arranged an excellent schedule with fourteen games booked, seven of which are to be played on the home diamiond. The season will open on March 20th with the first of a series of three games with Lafayette, and judging 10" from the scrap they putit up last year there is going to be something doing from the very jump.
