WfMesl. VOL. VI. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., MARCH 15, 1913. No. 20. CAROLINA GAMECOOKS DEFEAT COLUMBIA TEAM First Game Played on Davis Field-Many Looked On. University Nine is Promising Line up--Pulls Off Victory With Score 13 to 8. The Gamecocks romped on a picked team of Columbians last Sat urday to the tune of 13 to 8. The playing on both sides was more or less loose and slow, but for a pre season game was as good as could be expected and showed some mighty good material for both nines. When Umpire Mott called the game Carolina went in the field and before their turn with the willow came three Colunibians had hiked across the plate. But before three zeros could be registered against our fellows a quartet of scores showed up to their credit. So it went back wards and forwards through the whole game till at the end of the sixth inning, when the shades of night were falling fast Carolina had 13 and the Columbians 8 scores. Fritz vonKolnitz did the receiv ing for the Gamecock crew, while Perritt and Adams shared the twirl ing honors. Wop McGowan held down the first sack with Edens showing classy form at second and Tommy McMillan, the old reliable, manoeuvering around the third cor ner.. Shuler did excellent work at short until he was relieved by Green, who showed that he also has the goods. Poppa Watts did not get a chance out in center, but pulled off some pretty work at the bat. Bub Langston, in left, and Sam Owens, in right, showed good form and also used the stick well. Weir, Turner and Kreps were the stars for the opposing bunch, and showed good form in the field and at the plate. The features of the game as for Carolina were the batting of Perritt and vonKolnitz and the star play pulled off by Tommy McMillan in the first inning. Perritt swatted the pill across the centrefield fence for a home run and the next time upn tapped it out for three bags. Both teams lacked that co-opera tive team wvork andl sureness wvhich invariab)ly are lacking so early in the season. Our material is mighty goodl and by the time the season opens next week wve wvill have one of the' best teams that has repre sented Carolina in some several years. HAMILTON HOLT SPEAKS AT METHODIST CHURCH World Federation Subject of Great Address. "Independent" Editor Well Received by University Students and City Folk. Hamilton Holt, the well known editor of The Independent, spoke last Friday evening, March 7, on "The Federation of the \Vorld." The university chapel was too small and it was decided that Mr. Holt shoulid speak at the Washington Street Methodist church. There was a large crowd composed of town peo ple, and the students from the Col lege for Women, Columbia College, the business colleges, the seminaries and Carolina. After a song by the University Glee Club and a solo by Miss Bon face of the C. F. \V., Mr. \V. \V. Ball of The State paper introduced Mr. Holt. Mr. Holt started immediately on his subject and held his audience to the last. He first spoke of the opin ion that war is necessary, and quoted Jane Addams, the Bishop of Lon don, and others. In refutation he quoted such warriors as Napoleon, Washington and Lee. The world, he said, is at the end of the war era, and at the beginning of the peace era. It has learned how to bring abiout local peace, the next thing must be international peace. Local peace is kept by governments, which are nothing but "great, big, peace societies"; international peace must be kept by international arbi tration courts that will have the power to punish a nation that breaks the peace. Peace can only be secured by na tions having representative govern lent where peace or war does not depend on the caprice of the ruler. It is interesting to note that little Siam is the only nation that has not some form of representative govern ment. "The United Nations does at this very moment exist, by the fact of the -Iague court, and by the fact of the Hague coilferences." The Hague coilference p)assedl thlree enactmlents of prime ,imlportance: First, tile disp)utes already ; secondc, tile cebm mlittee, wvho inlvestigate tile coindi tionls betwveen two hostile -nlationls onl tile verge of wvar and.iend(eavor to b)rinlg theml to termls; and( lastly, tile (Continued on Page 3.)
