As the situation now stands, even with arterial stop signs and mammoth pavement stop signs, about one car in ;? hundred stops. [ Homo day there is going to be a swell pileup because of the disregard of the traffic signs and we'll be saying "I told you so." * * * The Bulldog dlatnond pastlmers, under the tutelage of Coach Lin Smith, soared above the 500 percentage mark last Friday when they smacked down on Newberry to register a 4 to 3 victory. They turned the trick without having to use their ace hurler,? Monkey Rlggins on the mound. Robinson did the firing and offered a nice bit of action. * Exactly 42 fans, white and colohed, watched the pastime. Johnny Mullen, Bundrlck, Uolneau and several othor | loyal student fans were present to whoop It up for dear old Rutgers. And Nancy Sanders, who with her Pappy, never misses a game was In the bleachers. 4 * The Bulldogs will play their last scheduled game on Friday, May 10, I against Darlington. Why not give the team a treat by putting several hundred rooters in the grandstand that afternoon. We hope the post-season game with the Columbia Caps can bo arranged. We recall three years ago whon several hundred of us went over to Columbia to root for the Bulldogs in a title game against the Olympla squad. , Interest In polo appears to be on the up and up according to the fine turnout of fans at the game last Sunday. Many of the polo enthusiasts had predicted that carrying the sea| son so far into April would be a fall; ure so far as attendance Is concerned. But the result has been Just the opposite. > * * The majority of the many, hundreds of fans at the Number one field Sunday were from out of the city and the announcement that play would be continued at least two more weekends was greeted with general approval. ? J Columbia, Rock Hill, Lancaster, Charlotte, Chester. Newberry and other communities were well represented at the Sunday game. ? Louis H. Newklrk, Jr., of New York, well know breeder of champion dogs, drove in for the game and so well pleased with what he eaw .that he remained over for several days to see the* town. ' I Newkirk has bred sueh ehampions j In the setter line as General Jackson, ! Jr., Garrison Hill Frank, Village Red Light and Heartbreaker Dawn. C, P. DuBose was the hero of the afternoon with his brilliant shot in the sixth ohukker. Undaunted by the fact t-trat -he~ had tost his mallet trwitl, DuBose followed up with a long shot and scored by tapping the ball over with his stick. The crowd gave him a big hand. HI! Ho! Silver. * * It was a beautiful day for polo?in fact, for golf and tennis also ?for those sports attracted a large crowd at the Klrkwood course and courts. o KERSHAW SCHOOLS TO PRE8ENT "A GARDEN DREAM" PAGEANT On May 8 tho Kershaw grammar schools wl,ll present two huudred children lit a pageant entitled "A Garden Dreaiu."
