Speed on Bases Brings Victory Mills Pitches Good Game and Wins 3 to 0. Excellent base running by the Gamecocks and splendid pitching by Mills enabled Carolina to win a 3 to 0 victory over West Vir ginia Wesleyan College Saturday afternoon. The pitchers for the Methodists worked well but fail ed because of poor support. The home hopes played in their very best form. The contest was fast and interesting. Twice Carolina runners went from first to third base on a bunt and later scored. For Carolina Fred Rudisill led his team at the bat with two safe hits, stole three bases, and figured in a fast double play. Plaxico was speedy on the bases and caught a difficult long drive to center. For the Methodists Ollom at third and Singleton be hind the bat did excellent work. Plaxico scored the first run in the opening round. He led off with a safe hit, went to third on Shuler's sacrifice, and scored on a neat bunt by Capt. Edens. The second run came when John Shuler drove a single to center field, went to third on Edens' martyr play and romped home on W. Rudisill's hit. Fred Rudi sill made the third run on Lam bert's boot of Stoney's roller. The visitors threatened to score only once, in the sixth inning. The game was snappy from start to finish, and was a well earned victory for Carolina.

The only score of the game came in the first inning. Plaxico beat out an infield hit. Shuler sacrificed, and fleet-footed Plaxi co went all the way to third on the play. Edens flew out. W. Rudisill drove a screaming liner to left, scoring Plaxico. Score by innings: RHE Carolina .. .100 000 00* 1 5 1 Guilford .. .000 000 000-0 0 3 Batteries: Adams and Stoney; venbow and Futrell. Umpire, Halt. PROF. TATE ADDRESSES TEACHERS' MEETING Speaks to Darlington Teachers on Subject of Teaching. On Saturday, March 28, Prof. W. K. Tate addressed the Dar lington County Progressive Teachers' Club at Hartsviile. In his lecture Prof. Tate used the Bible to illustrate his points, referring to it as the greatest book on pedagogy ever written, and to Jesus Christ as the great est Teacher of teachers. He stressed the five successive steps in teaching- preparation, presen tation, thinking, application and generalization, and showed how Christ followed this plan in his teaching. Prof. Tate urged the teachers always to start with a child at the point where his men tal capacity would allow him to understand and appreciate what was being taught to him; he also urged that teachers have always a definite purpose or end in view in the teaching of each child. He illustrated his point by giving an object lesson in geography to the teachers. MR. SULLIVAN SPEAKS TO GEOLOGY STUDENTS Lectures on the Forecasting of Storms. Explains the Working of the Weather Bureau and What it Does for the Nation. Wednesday evening in the semi-circular room of LeConte College Mr. Sullivan delivered the third of his series of lectures. He spoke on the "Forecast of Storms.'" Mr. Sullivan began by explain ing the movement of the air due to changes in temperature. He showed how heated air which exerts less pressure will rise and cold heavy air will flow in and take its place, thus producing movements in the atmosphere which we call wind. He then discussed cyclones, their origin and course, mention ing the great area covered and the distance travelled by many. He told of a cyclone that origi nated in China, crossed the Pa cific ocean, the United States, the north Atlantic, traversed part of Europe and finally died away somewhere near the Baltic sea, a distance of 17,500 miles. His next topic was the hurri cane, a coast or ocean storm com mon to the Gulf of Mexico and other regions. Superheated air moving upward in eddies when the pressure of the cold air above is lessened is the cause of hurri canes. Wind at a high velocity accompanied with sheets of wa ter are the characteristics of a hurricane. Mr. Sullivan next spoke of the thunder storms, the great land stosms familiar to all of us. He gave a vivid description of the approach of a thunder storm and as it breaks with all its fury ac companied by lightning an'd blinding rain. He discussed the theory of the formation of hail. He spoke of the tornado as the most destructive of all storms. He described it, mentioning the funnel shaped cloud as the dis tinctive feature of the tornado. Forecasting in the weather bu eau was discussed fully. There are three things necessary in the forecasting of storms: a know! edge of the properties of the at mosphere, mechanical apparatus and the application. There are 1200 skilled men employed in 180 bureau stations in this country.
