GAME WEDNESDAY
DECIDES TITLE

Two Great College Teams Meet
The State, Tuesday
The stage is set for the college
baseball season to end in blaze OF
glory in Columbia Wednesday after
noon when the University of South
Carolina and Newberry college meet
at Carolina field, play beginning at
q o'clock. The game has all the ear
marks Of a championship struggle.
The winner of the game will probably
be regarded as the college champion
ship of the state as the only two con-
tenders, Wofford ard Clemson seem
to have been eliminated by reverses
suffered Saturday.
The two teams have met once be-
fore this season playing a II inning
tie game at Newberry. The Game
cocks and Indians are regarded by
many who have followed the college
play closely as the two best teams IN
the state and the winner Of Wednes-
DAYS game will be hailed oy many
as the champion of the state.
The college baseball season in
South Carolina, as is the case each
wear. becomes scrambled before it is
brought to close. Newberry has
played more games than Carolina,
both games Carolina started with
Wofford being halted by rain, no con-
tests being scheduled with nresbyter-
ian college and one being played with
Charleston and Citadel. Newberry
lost a game to Erskine that was ap-
nounced as an exhibition game and
Carolina men point out that a Caro-
lima defeat by Citadel may also be
classed an Exhibition" as it was
played at Greenwood as feature OF
the oratorical contest.
SO the fans have q great treat IN
store for them Wednesday. After all
the champion is the best team and the
field seems to have narrowed to a
choice between Carolina and Newber-
ry and the opportunity is at hand to
test the strength of the two teams
and the two great college pitchers,
Peters of Carolina and Luther of
Newberry.

TWO CRACK TEAMS TO CLASH
Two Of the Best College Pitchers in
South Will Be in the Box
The State, Wednesday.

The State, Wednesday.
The biggest college baseball card
of the year is booked for Carolina
field this afternoon when the Univer-
sity of South Carolina and Newber-
ry college meet in game that has ali
the earmarks Of a championship
struggle. Al Munro Elias, the demon
statistician, has not been heard from
but in the absence of battery of fig
ures this game seems to be the game
of games that will decide the cham
pionship in college baseball for South
Carolina this season.
Although both Carolina and New
berry have been defeated during the
exciting college schedule, the Game
cocks and Indians seem to have dis
played q slight edge IN class over the
other college outfits and at this dis
tance several hours before game time
they seem to be fairly evenly match
ed. They fought out II inning tic
game at Newberry several weeks ago.
Each team has a sharpshooter OF
undoubted ability. In Peters Of Car
olina and Luther Of Newberry will
be found two Of the ablest college
pitchers in any classic hall and the
battle between the two this after.
noon should be regular struggle.

Better Schools
l.!estOn American.

Charleston American.
The vote in the school bond eiec-
ton was light, but the majority was
large.
Every one of the two hundred and
seventeen citizens who voted for the
bonds deserve the everlasting praise
of this community.
We have good schools in Charles
ton, but we can and shall have better
schools.
There is nothing more important
in our civic progress than education.
A city moves forward in the march
of civilization only to the extent that
it appropriates money for education.
Money we'll spent for educational
purposes is the best instrument
municiality can make.
The boys and girls of today are the
citizens of tomorrow.
Unless these boys and girls are
properly educated, how may we eX-
pect them to be capable Of guiding
the affairs of the nation, and Of cities
and states?
Ali adequate public school system
IS not luxury. 1t is a necessity!
The citizen who votes against nee
essary school bonds is blind. Such a
citizen should wake up!
There was time when many good
citizens believed grammar school
education was all any boy or girl
needed.
In our age of progress and of en-
lightenment, few good citizens have
this unfortunate idea-this archaic
view.
Because a man was unable to at
tend a high school in his youth, does
not furnish reason for his believing
his son should not have the benefit
of high school training.
Every boy and girl should have the
benefit of high school training.
It is terrible to think of the boys
and girls in various sections of the
country who do not even have the
benefit of grammar school training.
Many parents should be blamed for
their children's failure to obtain ed
ucation.
These parents do not realize that
the times in which we live demand
educated men and women.
Parents must Go their part.
Children must do their part.
: Cities and states must do their
part.
Education is priceless thing!
Many great men have been alto
gether self-eaucated.
Abraham Lincoln obtained his ed
ucation by studying a few we'll Sc
lected books by the light Of pine
knot fire.
But Lincoln would have given
much for the opportunity to attend
high school. Perhaps he longed
many an evening, while bent over
his books in his rude cabin study, for
the incompatible aid Of d college
training.
Let us keep up the work for good
schools in Charleston.
We have made a good beginning.
Our schools are good, and they are
growing better every day.

CAROLINA WINS
GREAT CONTEST

The State, 18th.
Carolina defeated Newberry, TO
i3. Yesterday afternoon and lmmedl-
atelv thereafter the Carolina stud
ents staged an enthusiastic parade,
featured by a display that would
have done credit to any shirt dealer
on Main street. The Carolina stud
ents considered the game titular
contest, while the Newberry enthu-
siasts say it was only gesture. New
berry takes the position, according
to Prof. E. B. Settler, faculty repre-
sentative, that the state champion
ship is decided on basis Of percen-
!tage and he said after the game that
Newberry with nine victories and
three defeats and Carolina with SIX
victories and two defeats stand tied
at $50. Professor Settler pointed out
in his statement that the game New
berry lost to Erskine at Greenwood
was an exhibition game and can not
count in the standing, having been so
understood before and after playing
He says also that the game Carolina
played at Greenwood with the Citadel
in which the Gamecocks were defeat
ed, was a regular game. according to
Major Rhame Of the Citadel. No OH
citl statement was issued by Carolina
athletic authorities but students say
they base their claim for champion
sup hoaors on having defeated the
best team in the state Carolina has
thus demonstrated its superiority. Be
that as it may, the game yesterday
afternoon was regular contest.

From his bed at Wesley Memorial

king directed plans which will take
him to Paris within a month. There
he will see his seventeen year old
daughter, Mathilde, married TO Max

he learned that reports about the
operation had become public.
Mccormick was reported to have Of

in case no word OF the surgery leaked
out. The agreement was understood
to call for payment of $4,000.
Guards around the hospital and in
front Of the Mccormick door were
doubled. -Four men were constantly
on guard in the corridor leading to
the Mccormick room. Other guards
were stationed under windows and
around the hospital at frequent inter
walls.
A rigid investigation was started by
hospital authorities to determine how
word of the operation reached news
papers. Nurses and internes were
quizzed closely.
During the operation the operating
room was divided by a partition with
one set of nurses and internes with
Mccormick on one side and another
group of nurses and internes on the
other with the unidentified man.
DR.. Lespinasse and his personal
nurse were the only ones who knew
what happened on both sides of the
partition. Mccormick, according u
this information, did not even know

SPECULATIVE COUP
IN MEXICAN PETE;
SHORTS SQUEEZED
Stock Sells at 163, Gain of II
Points Over Saturday
Inquiry Probable.

One of those speculative coups
which is SO much abhorrcd by in
tcrests who arc endeavoring to reform
the New York Stock Exchange from
within, occurred to-day in Mexican
Petroleum stock. Late in the day, it
sold above 1913 for a gain of more than
II points compared with the close OF
Saturday, and an ads ance of more
than thirty points compared with the
low of last week.
The movement represented nothing
more than a squeezing of powerful
speculative interests who last week
dumped thousands of shares of the
stock on the market in the evident
belief that Mex. Pete" would lead
the decline in security prices gen.
orally which they Judged was i'm
pending.
Other and equally powerful spccu-
larors who are closely identified with
the company told their friends last
Friday when the stock was selling
aronund 1870 that it would cross 100
before the close to-day.
Although the supply of Mex. Pete"
available for trading purposes is only
approximately $4,000 shares, this
market tip was nearly everywhere
disregfarded.
Shortly after the opening this
morning, however, buying orders
poured into the marekt in large
volume and the spectators who SOLD
the stock so freely last week were
called upon to deliver the stock they
had borrowed against their short
sales. They soon found that the sup
ply was exceedingly scanty and that
practically the only way they could
return borrowed stock was to go into
the market and purchase it,
The process Of squeezing the short
interest did not reach its elimination
until the last half hour of business.
1t was not until after 23O when the
nerves of Wall Street traders were
becoming frayed that Mex Pete"
indicated the upward movement was
at an end, temporarily at least
In Wall Street it is considered not
improbable that Stock Exchange au-
thorities will again call upon mem
bcr firms to give their position in the
stock at the close of last Saturday and
to-day, and to tell of the amounts
borrowed and sold so that it may be
determined whether the rise was ac-
cordding to the Stock Exchanges
