Let. the Charlotte AKgrregaUon B i Known us The Signers" An Ap propriate Title. . It has been suggested and the suggestion is a good onethat the Charlotte aggregation of professional haseball players be known as "The Signers" during the season of 1908. Various and sundry names have been recommended from time to time by Interested individuals Dut none thus far offered has met with such ap probation nor had so many "talklng ipolnts" as that above mentioned. "The Hornets; has been the name from time Immemorial. It is a good one, short and piihy but threadbara. "The Signers" la tip-to-date. - Even as the signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration were the first to declare their freedom from British dominion ro also will the .-iynr at the Charlotte baseball club contract-be the fUst to reach the goal of the league race ana capvuro mo If there s anything in a name, let the title of the Charlotte baseball club bi "The Signers." ' : WILL CHAKLOTTK HAVE 1 '- A CITY BASfcJJ-vlJli wij.mi.: With the corning 'of ' the warm spring days when the howl of the rmall bov "churns up the atnieu rhere" there is much talk of all kinds of league from Mudville to major. . Just now there is a line of dope flowing through Charlotte that the city Is to have a league. ' When Kain and hl followers broke camp the ball spirit of the city Hied down, but with the coming of Reynolds there promises to be a re viving of the sport ko great tnat wan will be played In every section that ran muster a nine. The presence of the -"big" league club will put new life Into every swatter. There is plenty of material among the young er net and it won't be lony before th ni l faded ' suit will be. dragged from its winter renting place and put Into use. , - .' '. " juitttheroew vs. Athletics. ". The Southerners and the Athletics will contest Jn a match game of bas ketball at the Young Men's Christian Association to-night at 8:80 o'clock. Both teams are very fast and a good game is predicted. The line-up will be as follows: Southerners Hlnson, centre; J. W. Klfby and Stewart, guards; tlreen an! Wlllmann, for- Mason and Pegram, forwards; Hill and Garrett, guards, v Wilmington 3Iay Havo a BaM-ball . Team. ' ' Special to The Observer. Wilmington, Feb. 28. Mr. C. H. ttattia was here to-day conferring with local baseball enthusiasts and secured a promise that Wilmington would be" represented at the Eastern Carolina League meeting in Wilson Tuenday. Efforts will toe put forward to at once organize a team here and provide It with all necessary financial support. Mr. Gattis also says that Durham "nas aignlfled her purpose to come Into the league. " Waddell Kays He's Glad. A dispatch from Mobile, Ala., where Waddell Is putting In the winter, quotes the erratic one aa saying that he Is glad to leave Philadelphia where' "knockers constantly broke their necks going to Connie Mack every lime ne iooKea a anna in tne . lace.' auuea; 1 :428-5. "I -have not taken to drink for a second race, steeplechase, short course, good while now, and I have made up handicap: Bluster, even, won; Pront my mind to give It the slip altogether, ,hie, 12 to t second; Buckman, I to 2, and when the time arrives for me to j get Into a uniform hla season 1 will be In a better condition to pitch than I have ever been In my baseball ca reer. With conditions changed and filaylng with a good bunch of fel ows. things will be easy and I'll cer tainly do my best to make it warm for other club in the league and Just a bit warmer for my old team mates. Only last night I received a letter frem Connie Mack, telling me to remain In Mobile until the Athletics arrive here on their spring training trip. I think It strange that Connie did not let me hear of my sale Jut as soon as it was consummated. If he went. behind my back and done this., why Ml Just iret oat after a piece of that sale money and I stand a ood chanca of retting It' Waddell atatea he will remain In Wle where he Is domesticated with ' father, mother and sister until he hears from either Mack or McAIeer. So endeth Waddell'a eventful career i j DURHAM FAN'S DISAPPOIXTED. Dr. Kllgo Refuses to Allow Profes nioim Tram the Cue of Trinity's Dlamonc Chances For a Nine Are Execediwrlv Slim. - - i Special to The Observer. . " Durham. Feb. 28. It now seems extremely doubtful if Durham will oe able to get a team for the Eastern Carolina Kail league-A The only ques tion that la one to cause failure is Utat Of getting a suitable park site for the games. The money can be ruuseu in a short while. U there was a bait At the meeting a few day go, hen out twenty of the lota Una subscribed $500 in a very cew.inwatea and a committee . was appointed on the - ball park proposition It looked bright and hopeful, altnough it, was then doubtful if the Trinity Park ground could be secured for the three summer months. However, the com- mlttee went to work and made an effort to eet the use of the Hanes Athletic Field at Trinity. Dr. J. C. Kllgo. president of the , college, did not approve of the idea and he re fused the use of the . grounds to professional club. This is not the first time that Dr. Kllgo "has stood against this DroDositlon. The last professional team- In Durham made an effort to get the uso of this mag niticent baU tteld but the president would not give permission. With it being out of all question aa to ,8eeuring this ball field It looks as if Durham will have to let the proposition go by-4efault. The last team here played at the George Lyon Park, a rilece or grounn near i.axe wood Park that had been leased by the Durham Traction Company and about which was a high fence and there was a rrandstand. But this lease has eiDired. the fence ist gone and the grandstand torn aw4y. To reouna an this, even it mesgrouna could be secured, would be too great an .outlay of money.' . While all hope for a ball team 1 not gone, still it looks like the pros pects are exceedingly elim. 1 SECRET AUN'S HANDICAP.

Colmubla State! " . Sammy Strang, the clever utility man of the New York Nationals, ta a newspaper man and, with his fa ther, conducts a weekly paper some where In the fastness of sunny Tennessee. The people living In this territory, according to Sammy, are not overburdened with intellectual knowledge, for they haven't really the leisure to acquire learning for making . "moonshine"' whiskey and keeping a sharp lookout, for the rev enue officers take up a lot of time. Then, as . most of the families have an ancient and ' honorable feud to keep up, when they are not busy at the . . above mentioned occupations they are real industrious at finding ways and meanr to pump some slugs of lead Into thetr foes, at least that's what U said. At all this takes a lot of time their moments spent in . educational pur suits are few and far between. But they all make it a point to tajce the weekly paper, and the profits accru ing from running a periodical In that particular region are not to be snif fed at. Like all country papers. Sammy's sheet publishes a lot of patent medi cine advertisements. One day last winter, so states Strang, an old ' mountaineer came Into the office and. as he laid his dollar down for a re n-wal of subscription he turned to Sammy and said: "That sartalnly was a great paper you got out last week, mister." "Glad you liked it." replied Sam my, as he began filling in a receipt blank. "yes, sir," continued the moon shiner, "them air stories you had in about people gittln' cured of long standln' diseases was the most en tertalningest bit of news I ever read, and their plcters showed 'em to be In fust-class health, too."
