The protest of the second game of the double-header between Greenville and Greensboro which was entered by the former will be given due consid eration. If the protest la sustained, the pennant will go to Greenville by good odds; otherwise, there will be change from the present standing of the two teams. The contention of Greenville Is that the game should not have been played at all. It is a technicality, but one upon which considerable hinges. Manager Collins Signs For Next Year. At a meeting last night of the board of directors of the Charlotte baseball club. Manager D. W. Collins was sign ed to lead th next year's team to victory. There was no dissenting voice, and all baseball Charlotte will be clad to learn of this action. Mr. Collins has demonstrated in his comparatively short term of service that he has .a quality of managership pot previous ly felt by the Charlotte team. He is popular alike with players and -others who know him, combining gentle manly qualities with knowledge of the game and ability to play it. ' Even when on the bench, he Is in the game every minute and the Charlotte bat tera keep their eyes on htm. His prom ised rturn gives good hope of a team next year that will be at credit to the city.

The cordial feeling which has existed between the boys and the men under whom they la bored all the season was displayed. The affair was heartily: enjoyed by thoee present and general regret was expressed at the separation which Is now at hand. ON THE RACE TRACK Saratoga Summaries. - Saratoga Race Track, N. T..

With th ram yeaterdav afternoon the curtain was drawn Mm the first season of the Carolina Association of JToiesslonai Baseball Clubs, compos ed of the Cities of Charlotte, Winston. ureensDoro. Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson. The season opened auspiciously the 30th day of April and w operatea successfully until the last game. - -v-v . .' .- . Particularly is this in re sard to Charlotte. Th local club haa nlaved the entire season under exceedingly adverse circumstances, ' but in no sense did this fact Interfere with th sucoesa of the undertaking. For a long time th team played under the shadow and hardship of disor ganisation and some internal strife. It lost and lost and lost until Char lotte occupied the very undesirable position of last place in th oercent- age column. The first manager, Mr. Jesse Reynolds, was dislodged after a few weeks and Mr. Phil Hlnton was named as his successor. It was the first experience of both of them In the managerial line and neither was succr.sfuL The '.earn did no good at all under the leadership of the last-named director, not because he was no ball player, but because he was no manager. The directorate then made, effort after effort to se- j cure a competes nanager, but waa not successful until about a month ago. when Mr. D. W. Collins took the team and brought it out of the cellar, and almost into fourth place. It did well under his management and. had the season been longer. It la saf to predict that Charlotte would be higher up atlli. ATTENDANCE HAS BEEN GOOD. Under this condition of things, the franchise of the Charlotte club has been a paying Investment. Th di rector have not ben made rich off the project but they "have made some money with which to give the local patronage a good team next year. The team was supported liberally: to such an extent In fact, that the attendahce here has been far ahead of that in any other city where the teams were winning consecutively. The average crowd at the games at Latta Park during the season has been between 800 and 00, Greenville, whose team Is the best InVe league, coming sec ond with an attendance of nearly 700. Another consideration enters into the gate receipts, extenuating the fact that the season has been suc cessful. Only a . very few of the games which have been scheduled on the home grounds have been played except under threatening weather conditions. It is true that only four gamea have been postponed on ac count of rain, but many have been played when ram threatened or when the weather was unsettled, and only experienced men In the business know how people stay away when there I the least Intimation that the game will be called sometime during the prog ress. THE TEAM AS A WHOLE. Charlotte hasn't the best team in the league' by any means, but It had a good team. It Is running now at a lively clip and since the reign or Manager Collin began it has won a majority of the contests In which it participated. It yields, however, to none in the, entire association first place for gentlemanllness In its make up. The character of the men com posing the team is an asset which makes It notable. Many of the play ers are college men and come direct from that sphere of life, where good manners and. manly bearing are con spicuously prominent. Nobody will dare say that the Charlotte team Is not made up of gentlemen of the first water, and players of that particular stamp are far too Infrequent In pro fessional aggregations of this kind. THE TRIBE NOW BOATTE BbT With to-day th team begins to 'dis band and Individual members ' will leave for their Individual homes. Five of the boys will remain here for awhllo and become members of Vance Ftte's tears which will play Independent ball. . These are Finn and Drumm, pitchers; Schumaker. first baseman: Snedden. third baseman, and Sher rlll, catcher. Fulenwlder Is think ing of pitching some during th re mainder of the summer with one of (he Independent teama now playing In th State, but Is yet rather unde cided. His arm is not In good con dition now and some are thinking and advising him to rest it until next I year. He rame to the team rrom tn University of North Carolina, where he waa the first pitcher last year, and has established the' reputation of being the.- best twlrter In the league. He has not pitched as many game as' Hammersley. of Greensboro, but nis percentage is tne setter. i Manager Collins and ceatre Fielder Hunter will return to their home liT; Buffalo. N. T.. and the Utter will Join the Pullman club ef Independ- ent ball players In that section. It fat the earnest desire that both these men will be returned next sesson, for Is them both the locsl directorate has secured fine players. Hunter cams about three weeks ago and I . un doubtedly one of the fastest outfield ers, as well as one of the best base runners and hitters tn th league. Manager Collins Is well liked by his own men and the public and knows the game from start to finish., ' He Is a popular a manager as there Is in the entire sssodatlon. - - - Brennen and Sharp go to Peters burg. Vs to Join an independent team for the rest of the summers Both these are good men. the former hav ing . maae in inneioers record of the season. Sharp was held out of several games but made good In those In which he flayed and is as good In the Infield as In. the outfield. Pitcher Redfern will return to his home In a few days near Thtmas ville. Oa. He Intends tn studs medi cine snd may not play ball any more. Noojin goes to-day to his home In Oa d nUajiitdm feselonal bail any more. He will teach this winter In a college Jn Alabama. Noojin Is the fastest man on his feet in ths league, with th possible exception of Bob Crter. and many believe he 'can beat him. Newton goes horn to Martlnsburr. W. Va. He is th. slugger of th team and has done rood work for the Hornets. Charlotte likes her bevaand wishes all of them would come back next year.- It Is thought that mot Ct them will be rtterved and that with rnm About leakry roofs and as ror sav . v " - w carry everything a little strength added 4n one or two positions, the Hornets of next -year will make themselves distinguished. FAYETTEVTLLES SIDE OP IT. -4 Manager Armflcld Makes" Reply to the ' Recent Communication of Hickory's Manager Challenged - Party Has the Right to Name Terms of Combat Tbe Whole Con troversy Reviewed. ' , To th Editor of Th Observer: Th unmitigated brass and gall that Inspired the article published In your paper of the 11th Instant over the signature of Manager LAtta, Of tbs Hickory team, doubtless gave blrta to many smiles throughout the old North State this morning as your many read ers who are Interested in sports read the columns of your paper contain ing inattera of Intsreat to them. With creat futeomeneas of speech Manager Latta attempts to explain why he now desires to "take wa ter". on his proposition to have his team play Fayetteviue a aeries oz games to decide th amateur cham pionship of th Stat. With a truly PorUa-llke regard for th niceties of interpretation, h proceeds to en lighten an Ignorant world as to the exact meaning- of the word "good" as used by him In the challenge he made. Fayettevllle had played 34 games, having won 23 and lost 7; Hickory had played 16 game, less than one-half the number played by Fayettevllle it wilt be observed, having won 13 and lost 3. After the aerie Of games that Fayettevllle played with Wades boro's crack team, the former hav ing won these, the State preaa pro claimed Fayettevllle a possessing th champion amateur team' of the State. Manager Latta proteated the accu racy of this statement, snd Issued a challenge for a series of games be tween Hickory and Fayettevllle "In Charlotte or soma other good town." Th subject matter contemplated by the challenge was baseball, aa any child not yet in its teens can see. To this challenge Fayettevllle replied, accepting it. although its tesm had disbanded, and naming Wilmington as the "good town" and not later than the 27th Instant as the time. Its rea son for naming Wilmington was that It -was a "good town", for baseball, the best In the State In point of aver age attendance, and the time selected waa that the games could hs played after the Wilmington team had nntsh ed the league games, thus Insuring a good attendance for th proposed se ries of gamea. Hickory stated that the cost of getting there was greater to Its team. Fayettevllle wired, agreeing to equalise matter in that reepect, and this telegram must have been in the possession of Manager Latta when hi article waa prepared. It was Intimsted In the Latta ar tlcl 1 that Fayettevllle wauted to wait until after the Eastern League teams had disbanded to the end that s.ie might fill In her team with league players. Well. well, well! as one of our Joyous rooters has been wont to yell when encouraging our ama teur (not league, or professional) players to do their best Mr. Latta certainly Is a lover of sport in the broadest stnse f th word. Ws can now see why he desired his gamea to .be played after the 12th Inst; the Carolina Association League games end st Greensboro on that date (the Carolina Association teama are more in Hickory's bailiwick than the East ern League Is In Fayettevllle's). Did Mr. Latta desire to bring league play ers to contest for an amateur cham pionship? Well, I say that Is gall! Brassy too, is It notT It would bo creditable to both Hickory and Fay ettevllle to contest In a national sport, for an amateur record with profes- sionai puiyprs i aon t tnink! Fayettevllle's tesm hsd disbanded when the challenge cam; Its bat cry, wivn wnicn it nsa won . nmu from sll comers, from points In bothl North snd South Carolina, had I. ft for West Virginia; where they had signed up for other games. . Ws knew that we rould not get the cam battery, but we were willing to take chances on that score. Fsyettevllle's acceptance of the challenge was to give Its players. Hie ones who have played in the games heretofore play ed, the honor to be had from the ae ries proposed. i Now, the correspondence between Mr. Lett and myself has been sent to the sporting editor of The Obser ver. If Fayettevllls has named any terms. In its acceptance of the chal lenge, that ahe is not entitled to name, then she B willing that the editor may. decide th matter, name the time and place, snd she will meet Hickory, playing only such men ss she played t i7.K fw ,M "lm.M P'-d this season. t wins ,ii3 riirnnoD tr tries granting to Hlckor ih- -am 11 Sther rf-M."
