! NEWBERRY WINS
FROM CLEMSON

indians Dcwn Tigers, Nine to Eight
The State.
Newberry, May 12.-The Newber-
ry Indians defeated the Clemson II
gers here this afternoon by the score
of 9 to s in one Of the most exciting
games ever played here and went into
the lead in the race for the state in
tercollegiate championship as re-
suit of the victory. 1t was a hard
hitting contest, six of the locals hits
going for extra bases. The terrific
hitting of the three Shealy brothers
and Luther wrecked the hopes cf>the
Tigers. D. Shealy and Luther each
drove out three hits out Of four ac-
credited times at bat. Newberry
drove Swe tenbesg from the mound
in the sixth, scoring five runs in that
frame as result of long home run
drives by 4. Shealy and F. Shealy
and a triple and double by Haiti
wanger and D. Shealy, respectively,
these long distance swats being cou-
pied with errors and bases on balls.
The Indians sewed the contest up in
the ninth when Luther singled and
scored on D. Shealy's double. Wood
ward, Gibson and Keel hit home runs
for the visitors. A spectacular catch
by Civilian for the locals was the
only outstanding fielding feature of
he game. Luther was on the sick
list, being hardly able to participate
IN the game, .5ut ne stuck to the twirl-
ing iob gamely, striking out 16 men,
despite the three home runs secured
off his delivery by the Clemsonites.
The work of both catchers was ex-
cellent. Upwards of f,500 people
witnessed the contest in which the
locals played a great uphill game.
Newberry will play Carolina in Co.
!umbia next Wednesday, May II; in
the last game of the collegiate season
in South Caroii2a.

COOPER GETS PLACE
FARM LOAN BOARD
HARDING NOMINATES TO FILL
OUT TERM OF LEVER
Forges to Front Against Odds-Sen-
ator Dial Highly Pleased With
Appointment
Hugh W. Roberts in The State.

lluON w. 1LODOIIS III 1lIe OIdSS.
Washington, May 1.-THE presl-
dent today nominated Robert A.
Cooper, governor Of South Carolina,
to be a member Of the federal farm
loan board,
Governor Cooper will succeed For
with the president yesterday, stated,
before returning to. South Carolina,
that if he received the appointment
he would tender his resignation as
governor and enter upon his duties
in Washington as soon as he was con-
frmed by the senate.
Governor Cooper will succeed for
nier Representative A: F. Lever, who
resigned some weeks ago to organize
federal farm loan bank in Column
bia. The unexpired term will run
two years, where the term of Gov
ernor Cooper as governor would have
expired next January. It IS said to
be reasonably certain that Governor
Cooper Will be appointed for full
term at the expiration of the un-
expired term.
The appointment Of Governor
Cooper came in the nature of sur
prise, as it was understood that the
president had virtually promised the
place to Richard S. Whaley, former
member of congress from South Car
/ DINA, with whom he frequently plays
golf. 1t is understood that when Sen
ator N. B. Dial of South Carolina two
weeks ago suggested the name OF
, Governor Cooper to the president ne
was left under the impression that
the place had been promised Mr. Wha-
lev. Senator Dial Informed the pres
! ident that he had no desire to inter-
fere with the effort of Mr.. Whaley
to secure the place, but that. if Mr..
Whaley were not named he would
for him to consider Governor Cooper
The president was delighted with
Governor Cooper yesterday. He had
the advantage of Mr.. Whaley in that
he was represented as a ''dirt" farmer
familiar with farmers and banking,
as we'll as financing institutions and
states. In he afternoon he attended
the local tennis tournament with the
president.
Senator Dial expressed himself to-
day as delighted with the Cooper ap-
pointment. He characterized Cover
nor Cooper as a man of the highest
type who would render the country
excellent service on the farm loan
board. He was congratulated by his
senatorial colleagues as having put
over" his friend in the face of what
in the beginning appeared to be IN
surmountable obstacles. There is no
doubt respecting the confirmation of
the nomination by the senate at which
time Liuet. Gov. Wilson G. Harvey
will become governor of South Car
Olina.

THE fate of the world is In the
hands of America" continued the
statement. The days wasted inpro
crastipati on at the present time
will bring years Of sci freproach
later on"
Mr.. Cox urged that the United
States take the lead in untangling
the European snarl which is getting
more serious every day He sug-
gested that Herbert Hoover be ap-
pointed Special Commissioner to
suggest remedies for the critical
state of European affairs
Mr.. Cox's statement continued as
follows:
THE nations of Europe are dead,
lock on the reparations question.
The master key is held by the Unit
ed States
Mr.. Cox said that from his per
sonal observations neither France
nor Germany Is milltaristic or has
any miitarist ambition.
Germany he said Is facet with
economic starvation.
While In Berlin Mr. Cox met
Chancellor Wirth, the latter say
ing:
"Unless the United States inter
ests herself in European affairs
within short time, Germany. and
might say ell Of central Europe,
is lost"
The statement is not unduly pessi-
mistic.
at is not too late to prevent dis
aster II our government will take
the initiative" said he, 81 believe
that without any inconsistency the
government could designate Herbert
Hoover to serve in solving the
separations problem He has the
confidence OF Europe and can
analyze the economic situation with
understanding"
