tional Interests-Many Urged Him
70 Remain.

Rev. Walter Branham Capers, pres.
ident Of the Columbia Institute, after
mature reflection, has announced that
he has declined the call to be rector
of Trinity church, Covington, KY
This will be the most gratifying news
to the people of Columbia, of the coun.
ty and of a great many in all parts
of the South who know and appreci
ate DR.. Capers' worth as the head Of
the Columbia Institute. 1t will be ex.
ceedingly fortunate for the Institute
that the president has reached this de-
cision for his departure for new
fields would have been a decided blow
to that old institution.
During President Capers' admins
tration of the affairs Of the Columbia
Institute that institution has enjoyed
its most prosperous years. He has
added to the enrolment, has improv
ed the property and has raised the
standards antil it Ii recognized as one
of the first girls preparatory schools
in the South. DR.. Capers and his
charming wife have been factors in
the social life Of the community and
their decision to remain in Columbia
will be most welcome news. While
the call from Trinity was under con
sideration they were importuned by
many to decline it.
In announcing his decision to re
main here, DR.. Capers said:
Il have been very much gratitied
to receive from friends and patrons
Of the Institute SO many expressions
Of interest in my remaining with the
school, and assurances of their con
tinued support and patronage. This
Of course was very considerable fac
tor in determining my decision. The
probability of a move made me real
ize as never before how many of oul
young women and girls who art
prominent in the community and 80
cial life of county and city, have beer
educated at the Institute since Mrs
Capers and l have had the direction
of its affairs. Just the other evening
at a very charming children's party
/ was rather surprised to see how
many of those present we're "oal
children" The friendship Of oul
young folks is always the source o.
pleasure and inspiration to US, while
this weaving of ties through person
al contact in the schools life ant
work Is a guarantee of friendships ir
the future which is most pleasant
contemplation. One word more
During the time l have had the cali
under consideration, the work OF ad

NO BASEBALL
LEAGUE NOW
OUTSIDERS WRECKED CHANCES
FOR ORGANIZATION IN SOUTH
DAKOTA AT THIS SEASON.

The baseball situation in South
Dakota and the reasons for the fail
ure of the state league to become an
active organization was aptly sum
med up in the Sioux Falls Argus
Leader yesterday. Mitchell fans felt
that an organization of the clubs of
the larger cities in the state was ne
cessary to put the game on a paying
basis, but when II city in the south
ern part of the state and another in
the northeast corner did not show an
interest in the matter, it was seen
that the league was doomed to fail.
Giving credit to Sioux Falls and. Alb
erdeen. both cities were ready to
Sail and would have made valu-
able members of the league.
The article in the Argus-Leader
Follows: :
The meeting called to be held in
this city yesterday for the purpose
of perfecting the Midwest Baseball
league failed to materialize. In fact
word was received late Saturday af-
ternoon that Mitchell and Aberdeen
would not be represented, and other
cities in the state which we're expect
GU " PdIllClpdl0 III lHe IiGGtllS ulu
mot send a representative.
The facts are that there was never
the right jingle to the proposed
league. Early in the year baseball
enthusiasts of several cities, among
them Sioux Falls, Aberdeen, Mitchell
3Watertown, began discussing the
baseball situation for the season of
1915. Things we're running along
smoothly when two outside baseball
promoters precipitated themselves
into the field and announced that they
would take up the matter and see to
lit that a league to be called the Mid
West league was organized. One want
ed the franchise at Watertown and
the other at Sioux Falls. Local part
les who had started the movement
stepped aside to give the outside pro-
motors a clear field. The latter called
two meetings at which no one attend
ed, and finally they dropped out en-
tirely and left things in a chaotic
state.
