6 THE CHABLOTTE irigWS JULY 3, I9I1 EXCUSE ME! Drawn by M. MYER fr PRIDE OF DIXIE LAND JOE JACKSON By court«sy of St. Louis Times. Slaps And Boosts | The mere fact that Umpire; Nugent was wrong in his decision does not mitigate the offense against dignity and fair sportsmanship committed by the fans Saturday. Charlotte don’t seem to take to Mr. gents decisions.—Anderson Mail. You are right, brother. Mistah Nu gent does the “taking” all by his little lonesome. Don’t you reckon that big league club wishes it had its money back that it paid for Cashion?—Anderson Mail. And they had better pay him Cash’- on deliver>’’ or else the Big Boy may have to tount the ties back. Sporting Editor Brown, of the Spar tanburg Herald, certainly has a mean disposition. The way he lays it to those poor Spartans is a sin. We sym pathize with you. It is hard to boost a lose5 for ever and a day. The Greensboro News’ editor re- marks^that Mistah Nugent should be good now. Let us hope so. Ty Cobb has set another*world’s rec ord, 35 hits in 35 consecutive games. He stretched it into 39 just for good measure. Upon noting that Winston has se cured another ‘find” for their pitchu|g staff the Greensboro News suggeMs that to keep in the runnini. another twirler attached to their department is esential to cope with the said Twins. It is the opinion of a great many fans in this circuit that the Patriots need a new outfit to turn that trick. Columbia has won 10 out of the last 11 games played. It is thus seen that the day of miracles is still in vogue. Just a little suggestion. Hornets. How would 10 scalps look dangling on the belt of the Hornets all in one row? We seem to have a little trouble in getting our winning streak translated. Now’s the time to start a spurt, as Anderson seems to be the crip of the season. The Greenville News very seriousl:^ remarks that the Charlotte water made their friend Kite sick during his stay in Charlotte. They jailed to men tion the exact denomination of the said or above-mentioned water. Was it the “chased” or “chaser?” It will be of much interest to the friends of both Cooper and “Big Bob” Gannt, the Trinity College stars, to learn that they are making good with a rush with the Baltimore Orioles, Shortstop West, who accompanied the pair, has been farmed out to Erie, and Is also making good. iW THE AUTOS I BE 6IVEN TO BULL mmi Ren Mulford Jr.. of ("Mncinnati, for merly a well known hasfhall writer. 'K'ho was plf‘Cfed chairman of the Chalmers Irophy Commission, has chown reprf-senfative baseball writers of the maior loaisue rltiea who will assist him in awarding a Chalmers car to the best all round jjlayer in each of the two major leagues. Mulford has chosen one man from each major leacu*- rity, making a com- EQiRsion of eleven actlvp baseball writ ers. Those whom he has selected are A8 follows: Chicago—I. E. Sanborn, Tribune. Boston—Tim Murname, Globe. Brooklyn—Abe Tager, Eagle. Cincinnati—Jack Ryder, Enquirer. Cleveland—H. P. Edwards. Plain D^ler. Detroit—Joe Smith. Journal. New York—John B. Foster, Tele gram. Pittsburg—Chas. S. Power. Gazette- Tlme*. Philadelphia—J. C. Isaminger, North American. St. Louis—M. F. Parker. Globe-Dem- \ G-ot ^\.u KO(w\ ocrat. Washington—Joe S. Jackson, The Post. Earh of these eleven men will cast a vote for the eight men in the league of which hi.s city is a member, whom he considers the best all around play ers. .Members of the commission in Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pitts burg, Brooklyn and Washington will vote only for plavers in one league; members of the commission from "New York. Boston. Philartelphia, St. I^ouis and Chicago will vote for eight men In the American I>^agiie and eight men in the National. Each commissioner will be provided with a printed ballot having spaces for eight names. The final decision will be according to points, the first man on each ballot receiving eight points, the second seven, the third six, and so on. After all ballots are in, the points with which each man is credited will be added, and the two men—one in the American and one In tTie Natlona* League—having the greatest number of points, will be awarded Chalmers cars. Heretofore, trophies for baseball prowess have been given for superior ity in some one department. There have been prizes for champion base stealers, for champion fielders, but chiefiy for champion batsmen. The Chalmers Trophies will be awarded for general ability. The members of the commission will take into considera tion not only a man’s hitting, running and fielding ability, but also his loyalty to his team, his obedience to discip line. his promptness in reporting for spring training, and ail of the other things which help to make a man val uable to a baseball organization. Heretofore, all around players have Umpire Leibrlech is quoted as hav ing said that he was glad that he was not here Saturday. O, O, O, und Oh! The crool, crool man! not been chosen officially. Any opinion has been a matter of pure personal preference among baseball writers and fans. The Chalmers Baseball Com mission is composed of eleven of the best baseball critics in the country. The character of the commissioners is a guaranty of absolute fair-mindedness in the voting, and the final awarding of the trophies will easily place the two fortunate players in a class by themselves for all around usefulness. Hugh Chalmers, donor of the troph ies, last year offered a car for the best batsman in the major leagues. The closeness of the race between Ty Cobb and Larry Lajoie, which resulted in bringing the final decision on the commission wil Itake into considera- finally i nthe awarding of a car to each of these two players, convinced Mr. Chalmers that awards for baseball merit should be made upon a different basis. He then conceived the idea of awarding cars to the best all round players. The present plan is to continue in force for five years, at the end of. which time it is possible there will; have been chosen a sufficient number of players to compose the first official | all-American team. This, in itself, is a feature which makes the awards of the Chalmers Trophy Commission val uable. Many all-American teams have been chosen, but they have always been the personal choice of some in dividual baseball critic. Never before has an all-American team been chosen by such a comprehensive method. Agnew, behemoth of Charlotte, N. C., and surrounding country. It’s a good thing that the riot did not occur in Greensboro Saturday, for we understand its police force w'as confined to the room with a cold in his head. Or was it in his feet? An optimist is a man who can stand for all the bum decisions of last week because he knows Umpire Leibreich will be here for the series Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It’s a pity there was no provision made in the bond election for the pur- case of new umpires. That is one thing that would have brought out a record vote. There was some discussion last week as to whether or not the “mys terious stranger” in the left-hand side of the grandstand Tuesday was a big league scout. We are now prepared to assure the fans that he was not, for as yet no offer has been made the Charlotte management for the pur chase of Agilew. A Bashelor—the pet of many women A husband—The plague of one. Women love; men make love.— Hildric Davenport in Smart Set. The Imfeinal Question or How Will it Be Settled? He Might Try th« Patriou. The row at the game Saturday has caused much comment. It was the live topic of the day Sunday and the subject was discussed pro and con —mostly con. As soon as the de cision was made Saturday a protest was entered to have the game eith er played over or thrown out. It is generally known that a game can not be protested on the nilings, of an umpire, but in tjie face of the fact that the mistake wa» so glaring and that President Wearn was pres ent to witness the affair makes liope spring eternal in the berast of the fan. President Wearn is placed in a very peculiar position, owing to the fact that he is a resident of the city, and being a very fair minded man, naturally feels a delicacy In handling the matter. However, the fans are up in arms and see no reason why there should not be some way of patching up such an error—for it was beyond doubt an error—and thus reconcile the whole affair either by throwing the game out entirely or by calling for the game to be played pvw. Tennessee Tennis Tourney. By Associated F^ess. Memphis, Tenn., July 3.—Cornelius and E. H. Leers will resume their play in the doubles match in the Tennessee Tennis Tournament on the local courts here today. This match was postponed Saturday because of the ill ness of Cornelius. The consolation singles wit^lalso be played. These events will bring the tournament to an end. The irate fan was standing on the brink of the fearful precipice. In his hands, raised high above his perspir ing bean, was Mistah Nugent. It was only a question of time until the poor mourning friends w’ould be picking the unfortunate citizen up with a blotter. The fan raised on tiprtoes and was just in the act of committing the awful act when Joe Cockroach rushed up with a telegram. The fan tenderly laid his burden upon a huge pebble and reached for the fateful message. He tore it open hastily and was in the act of laying his optics on the sajd mes sage when—oh, but we hate to break the news—it gently floated away on the breeze!

'The fans of Winston and Greensboro as well as those of Spartanburg and Greenville will each have the pleasure of seeing games in their home city on the 4th, as the day of festivities has been cut in two, thus giving each of the other towns in the circuit the bene fit of a Fourth performance. Bauswine will be pitted against Mc Carthy for the game this afternoon. Why Hardware Men go Insane. “You remember the stove I bought of you eight years ago?” “Are all the nails the same size?” “How wide a piece of screening should I have for my screen door?” “I lost my door ey, can you give me one like It?” “How much coal do you think I ought to burn in this stove this year?”—Chicago Tribune. The man who advertises for the return of a lost umbrella certainly has a sublime faith in human na ture. i t i * ' V StetA V»Pv*E rt ASK US ABOUT Our Rough Dry Service It is something that Is needed In every home, and deliver your bundle promptly.

This is a very valuable little sketch that we insist on running—not be cause it is blue Monday, but because it looks very appropriate. We are very sorry that the artist was over come by the intense excitement right after he sketched the picture at the game Saturday and has gone off to Morganton for a rest, hence we could not gather his exact meaning. There are, however, only two translations that look plausible; the one is,that Mis tah Nugent sees his mistake and made the above private confession to The News artist. If this be right, we have a perfectly clean scoop. The other vision is that Garman was not aware of the fact that the ball whack ed him on the bean, thus justifying his hasty removal of his anatomy from first to second. (After passing the above over to the Editor he refused to accept either excuse as being the true version of the lamented artist, so the Sporting Editor is hereby offering a handsome prize to the most plausible answer.
