lie therefore should be man fully
conversant with the agricultural needs
OF the state, a man who can get the
maximum of good from the money
spent, man who will not have to
spend two or three years in learning
local conditions. He should be n man
OF great executive and administrative
ability, an educated man, but not nee
essarily close student of books. nor
of exceptional ability in the class

those of the professor. He should
know men and have a wide perspective
He should be intimate with the needs
of our farmers, the possibilities of
our soils, with a far-seeing vision, able
to look ahead and plan for the future.
We believe that there are men in
South Carolina who come up to the re-

least one of them, and only one is
needed. can be persuaded to accent
the position Are there no Clemson
alumni who are well qualified to di-
rect the work of their alma mater?

to see to it that n South Carolmian

Cleveland, o., April 29.-Hugh Duffy.s
White Sox celebrated the return of
summer weather yesterday by slamming
the ball to all corners of the field and
beating the Maps in the postponed game
of last Tuesday by the one-sided score
of to 0. An even dozen safe swats
were made by the winners. which was
an average of two for every run they
they made. Eight hits were made by
the Maps, and they did not come dang
erously near making a run during the
whole game.
Frank Smith did the pitching for
Chicago and won his second game of
the series. McGuires followers were
unable to do anything with the Pitts
burger in the places where runs could
have been made. Not only was Smithy
the big noise in the Chicago defense
but he led his side in the offensive
work by getting two hits, one of which
scored the first three runs for the Sox,
and scoring two runs himself later in
the game.

tartar last night in Jess Westergaard
Of Des Moines, Iowa. The Pole was
unable to flop the giant Iowan in fifty
one and one-half minutes. when the
latter was forced to give up the match
on account of a sprained ankle.
Westergaard had held his own until
the time that he was forced to Quit
When Referee Dick Fleming awarded
the match to the Pole, the latter re-
fused to accept 1t, stating that Wester-
gard had put up too good an exhibit
ton to be given a defeat through an
accident.
The accident was the result of bad
fall which Westergaard received after
the men had wrestled to their feet. He
was thrown heavily and twisted his
ankle when he fell. He Immediately
stated that he would be unable to go
on and zbyszko notified the referee
that his opponent had been painfully
injured and the match was called off

CUBS FALL WITH THUO
IN Thinning TILT,4-3

Actor Tinker's portrayal of the Santa
Claus role in round No. II on the West
Side yesterday sent the Cubs whirlins
unsteadily from the lead back into
fourth place 1t was Joe's fault when
the Cardinals pushed a runner home at
the start, and his bobble in the eleventh
presented the foe with a desperately
fought victory 4 to g. Ragged field
ing in the local ranks spelled defeat
with Tinker errfng thrice and Evers and
Beaumont each once
Thirteen Cubs butted into the hos
tilities to no avail. for when johnny
Lush retired after pitching gilt-edged
ball for six rounds that durable old
veteran. Vic Willis, was sent out as
the ready rescuer. 1t wasn't long be-
fore Jack Pfester gave way to Overall.
but the visalia giant couldn't win
single handed with the men behind
ehucking hither and thither when feet
footed Cardinals scurried at large.
1t was an uphill combat for the West
Siders from the outset. despite the fios-
sy sidewheeHng of Dr. Phester. Two
boots, introducing Evers and Tinker
in the initial session, coined the first
tally. and with Lush going great guns
the Cubs faced barrier after barrier in
the ensuing five rounds. Jacks wild
ness in the sixth. linked with Higgins,
double. showed two additional TALES
home. and it looked like easy money
for the duke of St Louis and his swat
ting gazabs.
