Mills Pitches Great Game for Carolina---Final Score, Caro lina 9, Lafayette 7. Carolina opened the collegiate baseball season last Monday af ternoon with a victory over the Lafayette team from the Key stone State. The weather was all that could be desired for the playing of a baseball game. Bril liant fielding, skillful base run ning and long hits made the game exciting throughout. The score was close at all times and the game could not be counted as won until the last man was out. A large and enthusiastic crowd filled the stands. The sponsors, borne to the field in automobiles gaily bedecked in Carolina colors gave not a little inspiration to the Gamecock warriors as they took their stand against their op ponents. To Mills must be credited the largest share of honors for Caro lina's victory. The big fellow pitched a strong game, except in the third and fourth innings, and held the visitots withdut a hit for the last five innings. Shuler, Capt. Edens and W. Rudisill must be mentioned for their time ly use of the willow. W. Rudisill hit safely not less than three times. Langston played a pretty fielding game and hit safely twice, one of which was for two bases. A catch by Barksdale was the prominent fielding feature of the game. Capt. Helfrich and Sheeren were the stars for the visitors, the latter making the first home run of the season on Davis Field by knocking the ball through a hole beneath the fence in deep center. Both sides started early. The game was won by timely hitting in the earlier part of the contest. Young Gi Guerrant, son of Caro lina's coach, started the season by tossing the first ball across the plate. In the first inning the visitors were retired scoreless, but Caro lina in her half began with a rush and had three tallies to her credit before the required three (Continued onl Page SIx.)

HAND REMAINS AT THE UNIVERSITY Trustees of Anderson Release Him From Contract. To Continue as Professor of Sec., ondary Education at Carolina and State School Inspector. Prof. W. H. Hand is to con tinue his work as State high school inspector and teacher of secondary education in the Uni versity. This aninouncement will be welcome news to Prof. Hand's many friends on the campus and throughout the State. Several weeks ago Prof. Hand was offered and accepted the presidency of the newly founded Anderson Female College. Some days later a group of the leading educators of the State made a trip to Anderson to request the board of trustees to release Prof. Hand from his contract, since the cause of education in South Carolina would be greatly hurt by the loss of Prof. Hand as the head of the department of high school in spection. Later Prof. Hand himself met the executive committee of the board of trustees. At this con ference he stated that he desired his release for the following rea sons: At the time of his accept ance of the presidency it had been announced that funds for continuing his present work would be available no longer than the present term. Since then he had learned that these funds would be available for several years to come. He has also re ceived numerous letters from educators within and without the State arguing that it would be very detrimental to the progress of the constructive educatlonal work in which he has been en gaged for him to lay it down at this time. The writers of these letters were of the opinion that Prof. Hand's present work is the most important educational acti vity now being carried on in this State. The pressure was so great that Prof. Hand became convinced he ought to ask for his release in order to carry on this work. It was stated to the board that Prof. Hand's present work was so im portant that should he abandon (Contniued on Page Six.) scription N, MR. JOSEPH NORWOOD ADDRESSES Y. M. C. A. Lectures On "Talents Neces sary To Banking Success." Says Industry, Honesty, and Economy Prerequisites of a Successful Banker. The series of life work lectures arranged for the Y. M. C. A. was continued on Wednesday evening with an address by Mr. Norwood, president of the Union National Bank of Columbia. His subject was: "Some Qualities Necessory to a Successful Bank er." Before beginning his address, Mr. Norwood requested that the parable of the talents be read, as that portion of Scripture would form the background of his re marks. Then followed his strong and pointed address. "The qualities necessary to a successful banker are for the most part the same as are re quired in any other branch of business." But the first question he would have men consider be fore deciding upon banking as a life work is: "Is it an occupation which would be pleasing to me, and one to which I would become more and more attached as the years go by?" He emphasized the idea of the man marrying his job, sticking to it as he would to his wife, "not flirting with other occupations" any more than he would flirt with other women after his marriage. Industry, honestry, and econ omy are the three main qualities necessary to a successful banker, according to Mr. Norwood. He used the parable of the talents to illustrate the first of these three qualities, saying that if the par able was intended to teach any thing, it is the lesson of industry. "If your talent should be for earning money, your duty will never be done until you have earned every honest dollar of which you are capable." Speaking of the second quality, Mr. Norwood mentioned some of the many ways of crooked deal ing in the banking business. In this connection he said: "It may not be from the highest motives morally, but from whatever mo tives, the banker's business more )W.
