He Is quoted as having said that there had bees some Ulk of Chattanooga's getting into the circuit but that its position wn the map precluded thst possibility' long ago. Wilmington will make a strong bid for a franchise in the league at ths meeting of the directors on August 24th in Charleston.

Raleigh. Aug. 7. President Pearce of the Raleish Baseball CI llh WAA talking to-day about a big . State league which it is proposed to form next year. He says interest In base ball this year makes the formation of a league certain; certainly one of six Clubs and possibly eight. Raleigh will be ln It and so wni Wilmington, and no doubt Wilson and Ooldsboro and other live towns. It Is quite broad'y Intimated that the Raleig.i Street Hallway Company, which has done such great things for this city and its suburb's In the way of extension and no end of Improvements, wl plan to have suburban baseball grounds, polo grounds, golf links etc.; In fnrt a general place for outdoor amusements on a large scale, which Raleigh needs so much. This one thing, particular ly golf and haseball grounds, will give an all-year-round attraction here, for many Northern people want to come provided there is golf. It is said that the grounds will also contain a lake, though as yet nothing Is given out re garding the location of the place. Auto Races nt Wrighlsvlrle HoaHi. SpeelH.1 to The Onxcrver.

The pitchers In tho Carolina Asso ciation are late finding out. but are finding out, nevertheless, that Buck Pressly, who was used as a substi tute player (by mistake) during the first of the season on the Greenville team, Is one of the best swatters in this league. Buck won a game i agalnst Charlotte the other day bv knocking the ball over the fence and scoring the winning run. He did the same stunt in one of the double header games at Greenville Thursday and bCsidos doing that, he batted at a .500 clip all through them both. He was at bat olht times and se cured four hits. Barre was at bat nine 'times and got two hits and Jackson nine times with one hit. Pressly Is as dangerous a man at the bat as either one of them. Qulgley Attacked Umpire. Mr. Norman H. Johnson, of this city, who Is umpiring the series of games between Greenville and Spar tanburg, was attacked by Third Base man Qulgley, of Greenville, In one of the games of the double-header Thursday, but did not suffer the least Injury. Mr. Johnson summoned a couple of policemen and Qulgley was not only taken out of the game, but made to keep off the ball. . ground during the game. Qulgley contended that Mr. Johnson called two strikes on him without cause and after one had been, called, he dared the um pire to do it again. Mr. Johnson called the next one a strike and Qulgley Jumped on him. The Green ville News censures him for It; The Spartanburg Herald gives him thun der " Only One Game This Afternoon. : There will be only one game this afternoon between Anderson and Charlotte at Latta Park and this will be called at the usual hour. A dou- ?le-header was scheduled, but both earns are shy of pitchers and did not want to overwork those who are in condition. Only four mors games remain to be played this season so far as Charlotte is concerned and all these will be on the home grounds. Winston comes here Monday for three games sod these will close the season. Good crowds should attend the remaining exhibitions. - .. .. i T Another Claimant For the Amateur .

THE PENNANT RACE. Spartanburg is Now Practically Ellui- iibutu inmi i ue imtn Heat on Ac count or Ioor Showing Against tireenvile Past Two Days. The result of the third irame h- tween Greenville and' Spartanburg yesterday afternoon, which was an even draw, gives Greensboro added advantage In the pennant race In Mow of the defeat tho Patriots ad ministered to the Twins. Spartanburg is practically eliminated from thu race on account of the poor showing so far made against tne Spinners. If Spartanburg should win both games from Greenville this afternoon and three from Anderson next week, while Greensboro was winning one from Winston this afternoon In a double-header and two from Green ville out of four game next week, it would still give Greensboro tho pen nant by two points. Jn order for Greenville to win the pennant, it will be necessary to take both games from Spartanburg this afternoon and break even with Greensboro In the four games next week, while Greensboro was winning one from Winston this afternoon. Figuring on the presumption that the double-headers this afternoon will break even and the series be tween Greenville and Greensboro next week will do likewise, the following percentages will have been made at the close of the season: Won. Lost. IVt. Greensboro. ... 51 37 .fiKO Greenville 49 37 .570 If Gret-nvllle takes both games from Spartanburg and breaks even with Greensboro next week whllo Greensboro Is taking one from Win ston this afternoon, the season will close in the following order: Won.

If Spartanburg wins both games this afternoon and the entire, series from An'lrson their percent age will be .678. It still looks like Greensboro. ' SpeiMvr Defeats Statcsville.

It Marks Hie Grave of an Admirer of President Jackson. Salem Correspondence Philadelphia Record. ln the Baptist graveyard at Canton, near nere, ties tn body of an old Revolutionary soldier named James Sayres. A rude, unlettered sundstone marks his grave, but a more conspic uous monument is a large hickory tree the trunk of which, three feet from the ground, measures 51 1-2 inches In circumference. James Sayres was sn ardent ad mirer of Andrew Jacaaon, so often called "Old Hickory" from the char acter of being so unbending In any caus which he believed to be right. Mr. Sayres si ways wore a sprig of hickory on his breast en "training days," and before he died directed that a hickory tree be plsnted on his grave. This was done, and after ths tree attained proportions deemed un suitable to adorn a grave it was dug tip. Another tree sprang from the roots left In, and this In. time was also dug up. When a third tree appeared, with a persistency In a good cause worthy ot emulation, relatives of ths decested directed that It be not disturbed. Hence the tree of large proportions thst annually showers Its nuts over the grave of the deceased admirer ot "Old Hickory." . POPULAR EXCURSION VIA SOUTH ERN RAILWAY. CHARLOTTE TO - NORFOLK.
