Open up, dopesters of The Spartan burg Herald and The Greenville Newt, After thinking about it. don't be lieve we over needed McGeary. any way. ,-; :'-Jr: .' , The Hornets lost the first game of the season. Let the last one go to their credit. Redfern will do the honors at the last game of the aeason, which begins at 4:30 o'clock. Think of the agony we have been spared by not being in either Green yllle's or Greensboro' place. Wonder how they felt when Green ville commenced to piling up runs in the last inning of the last game. Collins will send in duplicate orders for the bat he uses ana will give one to each of the boys next year. The locals relished the "Brown Mule" variety furnished by the boys from the tobacco town of Winston. Umpire McLaughlin made some un mentionable blunders yesterday, but nobody thinks he was not conscien tious. After a little plugging and thump ing, we are convinced that the third and last of the series is ripe for us. Carter doesn't want it. Brennen is the only member of the Charlotte team who has not missed an inning In any of the 85 games of the season. Newton has missed four innings. If Carter was charitably enough disposed, he might take pity on the team's batting averages for the year and put Brown back In the box this afternoon. Bob Carter and Lindsay leave to night for New Orleans to Join the Memphis team of the Southern League. Lindsay will play short and Carter will play an outfield. A seemingly harmless aggregation n the beginning, the patriarchs n lav ed havoc at last with the hopes of Greenville and Spartanburg fans. Confidentially, they beat us about 13 times out of the 1$ shots at them. GREENSBORO GETS THE RAG. By Winning Sno ot the Games From Greenville Yesterday Afternoon, the Patriots Cinch the Pennant For the Flrxt Season of the Carolina Association A Great Race in the Final Heat. Ey winning one of the games of the double-header yesterday, Greens boro gets the pennant for the first season of the Carolina Association, taking it from Greenville's plucky warriors, who die. as it were. In sight of home. A good many of the local fans had hoped that some turn of good fortune would '"come the way of the boys from the Mountain City of South Carolina and let them win the coveted honor. Others longed for the honor to linger around a North Carolina city and consequently pulled for Greenshpro. The i'atriots have played a magnincent game ror rour weeks, winning about 21 out of 26 games. Up to mat time t:iey see sawed with Winston for the position of third place. When they finally got a streak.. It never broke and the wave has borne them on to their posi tion to-day. Ne one thing has "brought the vic tory, but several . things combined made Greensboro a hard team- to beat - One of the best assets the team had during the entire season was Its coolness and deliberation . on ' the field. It suffered no dissensions such as often mark the career of an ag gregation of younger ball players, particularly those who have not been many years from college. Under the able generalship of McKevltt, backed by the determination and steadiness of- Hicks at short Cook at third and Bed-Walsh. ...behind the bat, there Is, after all, no great amount of wonder. Over the outcome. Walsh deserves the credit largely for the numerous successes, of the pitching staff of the team. He Is head and shoulders above any catcher in the league smd gave his pitchers inestimable backing, Greenville stayed at the top the larger part - of the season, but suf fered a slump from the effects of which they never recovered. Their pitchers weakened as the season ad vanced, the team stopped winning games so successively as at the be ginning and despite the fact that they are the best hitters and best fielders in the league, they lost out in the final lap of the struggle. More hits have been- secured off Greenville's pitchers than any others In the league and a large part of the story. is told there. The game between these two teams this afternoon will have no bearing on the award of the pennant Sexton Pitches Great tiaroea, v Special to The Observer. t - ' ' Laurlnburg, Aug: II.

A few teams will sell their best' players to meet expenses of maintaining this year's team. There were all kinds of ball play ing here to-day, from very sorry to the very best. In the last game the Patriots had Greenville shut out up to the ninth' Inning. They loosened up- a little end came near letting Greenville run away with the game. They made six hits and five runs tn this Inning. James, Bisson and Cogs well made sensational catches. Hammersley pitched the first game for Greensboro. He has a very sore finger and did not want to pitch, but McKevltt thought h4 could win bis game. To-dar - crowd was the second largest ever seen at Cone Park.
