Sharp's offeVlngs "yesterday prove that he ought to be kept In the game. ' Greensboro can have Its Hammers ley, but we will hold on to Fulen wlder. We want Greenville to get the pen nant.', but want them to got it duareiy. Buck Pressly weaved out one whole game himself. He la getting the Jackson habit. The spinners will begin operations to-morrow on full time after a shut down for repairs There are mere men 'than Pressly, Harre and Jackson who can put the ball over the fence. There was reiolcine In the camn of the fans over the Gem when Newton Pressly-ed that ball. , The platform of the Carolina As - soclation next year against mobocracy. will declare At the rate ahe Is going at the pres ent. Charlotte can claim a .300 batter when the smoke is over. The opening song 'to-morrow will be: "The Greeiuboro team la mo nutty-fhe squirrels follow it." The fans jvho operated that mob aiter tne game inursaay must nave lost something like a quarter. Charlotte is one of the very few teams that has shut out the Spinners this season. That is hard to do. . Sherrlll remained In that game un til the last. In the nlnch he added to his record a corking two-bagger.' It might be well for' President Wearn to charter the South Carolina militia for the Greenville-Spartanburg games. The Patriots, that venerable body of ball-tossers from the village of Greensboro, will sojourn In Charlotte for three days. Manager Dingle, of the Sum'ter Champs, will take one spindle to-day and run It for the, rest of the season with the Spinners. Barre and Jackson could not find Fulenwlder' curves for anything that even intimated a safety. Bet you Barre got mad, too. ' ' The Anderson Dairy Mall Is a-yell-iaTor afeenshoro.," Btrikes us that the team doesn't care & hang who gets the derned old rag. - Nothing extra will be charged at the gate for seeing Klddo Walwh per form behind the bat. His specialties are given free of charge. Barre has been succeeded at the bat by Pressly. who 'has won the title of being "a dangerous man." , In the series with Greenville during the week, Charlotte made a dosen more hits and four more runs. .derT, ,K8u?1fln,r thul!y; I "Every lfttle bit taken from what! you've got makes a little bit less."

' The Greenville News everlastingly knocks Barre for getting mad and quitting in the ninth when he errored and allowed the. score to become tied. Ic was rather childish for a man of the height of the big leaguer. Hammeraly, who lost to the Spar- tana yesterday, has won In this league I twenty-one games, ten of these shut- Outs, -lost seven and tied two. The Spartans touched him up for eleven hits yesterday. Spartanburg Herald. fhere was a good attendance at the matinee yesterday afternoon and those present were thoroughly de lighted. It will probably be the last iwiwo lvj ucai Hit? ucians uvi niv wires, as the other games will likely be played here. Barre is probably the best all around ball player In this league: Is respectful and self-resDectinit. centle I manly and sensible, but he will have to get over his kindergarten habits to ever amount to anything In the American League. To the Greenville team: Play ball and stop cussing at the umpire. If the team can't win on its merits. It I should be sportsmanlike enough to I give the other fellow credit for play- I Ing a better game. Editorial In Greenville News. I The Patriots have heretofore been I ble to protect themselves when they I'came Into this hive, but the Hornets 1 are livelier than ever Just now. If the teams will accord the pitchers eftectlve support, there's going to be something stirring this time. Mighty well rtitlsfled whh the week's record of three out of five with the heaviest hitters In the league, but It Is a matter of common knowledge I among" those who have keot ur with the details of the games that the lo cals really outplayed the Spinners In J1 or them There should be two umplren un approachable and Incorruntible for the Spartanburg-Greenville series. Let the president of the Carolina I.eaKue select them. What Spartan burg wants and what Greenville wants Is a square deal no more, no less. Spartanburg Herald.
