GIFT FOR CARLISLE SCHOOL.
MIR. G.. F.. Rizer Makes Donation for
Erection of Gymnasium.

For several years the authorities
of the Carlisle school have been
striving for a gymnasium. They re-
allied that with gymnasium, where
the students could be given regular.
systematic exercise, Carlisle could
easily take her place among the best
equipped preparatory schools. On
Monday the school received from Mr..
C. F. Rizer, of Olar, one of Bam-
berg county's leading citizens, a do
nation for the erection Of gymna-
SUM on the Carlisle campus. The
board of control, in session Monday,
received the donation, passed reso-
lutions thanking Mr.. Rizer for his
generous and most splendid gift, and
that the new structure bear the
name of the donor, The G. F. Rizer
Gymnasium.
The gymnasium will be built on
original lines designed by the head
master of the school. 1t will be so
constructed as to give protection
from the weather, give absolute pri-
vacy to those who are working in it
and at the same time afford an un-
restricated abundance of fresh air.
The building will be forty feet
wide and fifty-eight feet long; will
be built of brick with stone trim
mings, and would be an ornament to
any school or college campus. Work
will begin as soon as bids can be
received and the contract let.
A gymnasium instructor will be
engaged for another year and every
student in school given regular,
systematic exercise.
Another step looking toward great
er Carlisle.

dress will be delivered by DR.. S. A.
Steel, of Columbia. He will deliver

tunate that the school has been able
to secure him.

be here will make this commence
ment at Carlisle indeed notable
one. The dates of the commence
ment are Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, May 20, 80 and 81.

FANS FEAR HEINIE
AS TROUBLE MAKER
Zimmerman and Bresnahan in
Fist Fight Last Year At
Chicago

One possible obstacle that many
fans have seen in the managerial path
OF Roger Bresnahan at Chicago Is the
chance that he may not be able 10
handle "Heinie" Zimmerman. Roger
and "Heinie" had one open clash last
season and came TO blows on the play
ing field, and as result OF this many
baseball men expressed the fear that
there would be further trouble be-
tween the two with Bresnahan In com.
mand OF the club next year. They
doped 1t out accordingly that one OF
Rogers first moves would be to get
rid OF Zimmerman. Evidently the
"RaJah" does not share these fears
that he will not be able to handle
"Heinie," however, for during his con
ference with Garry Hermann on a
proposed trade for the Reds he re-
fused to consider any proposition In
volving the release OF zimmerman
and declared the slugging third-sacker
would not be permitted to get away
from the Cubs. The general opinion
Is that Roger is going TO have his
hands full in Zimmerman's case, but
