He allowed 7 'scattered '. t' hits In the first, but in the second - 'he was Invincible and would never - have lost with perfect support. Only two hits were secured off him in the' second game, one being by Bren " , nan in the 13th and the other by New .. '1 . ton in the 16th, In the - total of 23 1-2 innings which he twirled he allowed but t hiU and walked. but 4 men. . ' His control throughout the after noon was marvelous and his curves increased in perplexity. - There was no weakening in his work at any time; on the other hand, he seemed 1 to be constantly finding twisters to send across which the locals couldn't safely connect with. He performed in the two games for four hours and when he quit, his speed was as good as ever. Besides establishing the best pitching record of the season, he won hearty applause from the grand stand after ha had pulled through the ninth inning without anything that looked like a hit being made off him. Many there were who really wanted to see him get away with his game, no deserving was he of victory and so hard did he toll for. it. There was no disloyalty on the part of the local fans in cheering him on to the laurel wreath.' , FULENWIDER IN THE FIRST. Fulenwldnr performed for the Hor nets In the first game and lost through no fault of his own. His pitching was up to the standard, keeping his hits wide apart until the ninth wnen ne gave up hope of winning and yielded three successive singles. The game was lost in the second inning when Schumaker dropped a thrown ball with a man on third and one on sec ond and fitferrill failed to tag the last one as he raced across the plate. Both teams'eamed a run. Drurum and Fulenwlder being responsible for - harlotte's-ln thfr -eighth hmiflg. No two hits were secured in any. other Inning off the opposing pitcher, de spite the fact that tho total num ber he yielded was 7. FINN IiL THE SECOND. Finn and Collins composed the bat tery for the Hornets in the last game , and they pulled oft some mighty fine work. Finn was touched for 7 hits, -t. but they were as scattered as hews Items have been for two weeks. On ! several occasions when he became en dangered, he extricated himself in great fashion. The team played' well ' behind him during the long and agonising spell, only a couple of in significant errors being charged up to them. Like his opponent, Finn got better as the same proceeded and It acemed that he couldn't lose either as long as the boys gave him good sup- port. He fielded his position well and gave his mates plenty or cohfi dence. BRENNAN IN THEM BOTH. The star of the afternoon for the locals was Brennan who covered all the . territory in the neighborhood of second base in errorless fashion'. He had seventeen chances in the two games and assassinated hits without ' show of conscience. No grounder that he could reach at all with his long hands got away from him and as for line drives he feasted on all that started out to right field. The most phenomenal play he made was in Tho 16th inning when he stabbed line drive over his head from Stoeher'a bat. It did the fans an Immense amount of good to see him line out a double In the last game, being one of the two Hornets who successfully con nected with Mr. Stoehr's curves. He is a favorite on the team and among v the fans and he fully held up his reputation yesterday as being the best Inflelder in the league, as "his season average will bear out. A VERY POOR CROWD. Weather conditions were so unsct tied at I o'clock, the hour for call- ,-. ing tho first game, that only a very mall crowd had ventured to the park, . .the consequence being that about the least attendance of the season was registered during the afternoon. This .... Is to be regretted in view of the char acter of the exhibitions furnished by the two teams. -Under better atmos- i pherlo conditions, the attendance would have been notably increased. Those who sat In the grandstand dur- ing the four hours of play were ful ly entertained, especially during the last game. meiri minds were re verted to the Charlotte-Raleigh game ix years ago which ran for eighteen . innings and was finally won by the . home team, 1 to 0. The sun was v T climbing ever the tree tope when Anderson had played her half of the . .. fifteenth inning and the game would ' very probably have been called at the end of Charlotte's half with tho score standing 8 to 0 as darkness waa fast f enveloping the grounds. : - A STRUGGLE FOR MASTERY. . The last game was not only the best' .of the season, pot it likewise was tne hardest fought of any seen here since i- the very first day. - Both teams seemed possessed of determination to - . stretch very link of the chain and - , hold oattnanfully until the Inevitable happened. On - numerous occasions the hopes ef the local fans were value' less when Anderson would get men on bases with only one out Then there would be calls upon Finn to send - them across and the little, fellow did ' It Every man was in the game -and fast work was done by 'both aggre gations. - The Hornets got on bases very few. times and this necessitated - the demand or home runs from the corner of the grandstand whence the rooting issues. It seemed that extra . long bitting was the only way to maks . ' n end to it and when. Brennan rap . ed one oer Clark' head In the thirteenth With only one man . out there was expectation of scoring, but soon this was vanished, Drumm fan- - ning and Finn popping up to short . t ; It was agreed that the game would! be called at the end of the seventh, mad when this time arrived Umpire - PITCHING RECORD i Westervelt walked out of the grount end boarded a street carl ; It requi grounds r- ed i the services of President ,Wearn to get him baeh in-the game, the managers .agreeing to play the game out .

Greenville will get a majority of the series with Spartanburg now. and it looks like second place for them. If not the first. A purse was made up ' and pre sented to PPltcher Stoehr by a num ber of local enthusiasts yesterday for his brilliant performance. The red or d Stoehr made in the box yesterday has never v been matnhed, bo far as the ' recollection of old sports in this town goes. Anderson Is hard to beat In an extra-Inning game. The boys went the Spinners fourteen rounds on one occasion, the score being 4 and 4.. The way some of the little ones holler at and criticise players in the grandstand is detestable. Do your carping to yourself, and not in public. 1 Not to be Impertinent at all, but we would Just like to know if Lan ham got to play through two whole games without being put out for kicking. Westervelt was very much criti cised for his conduct after the seven Innings had been played in t!ie second game. He runs that thing, you know. Nobody would have cared much If Stoehr had won that last game, too. The fact Is. a good many people would have been glad of It. We are not worrying over the pennant, and It would have made little difference, any way you look at it. GREENSBORO WINS OVER WINSTON. Special to The Observer. Greensboro, Aug. 6.
