The Carolina Aaaoclation of Profes sional Baseball Cluba will open its sec ond aeason to-morrow afternoon at t o'clock with Anderson playing at Charlotte, Winston-Salem at Greens boro and Greenville at Spartanburg. From the manifestation of Intent at already observed around the circuit, the prospects for a brilliant season ore s;ood and It is expected that rec-ord-breakihg crowds wfn ajtend the opening games in the league. The league gives promise of being at least 25 per cent- faster than it was last season. The raising of the salary limit and the amendment to the by-laws allowing the carrying of 1J men with the manager made It pos sible to strengthen up all along the line. In addition to this, the keen riv alry which was felt last season in the association served as an "incentive to the managements of th six teams to stretch themselves la the effort to get as many as possible of the best men at the figure allowed. This bas been done and for that reason newer Dan A a 4 W nt-Anai Sir that Itors hit LaBtte.wm do servew i v I game aruuuu H. E. .

An derson has been exposing some might good ball during the practice season and comes prepared to trim the Hor nets. The Electricians are under the ceneralshiD this season of Manager Kelly, a seasoned played and manager' and he has brought together a good collection of players, reserving some of the best from the old nest. While the team is largely new, It has been working together satisfactorily and has greatly pleased the fans In the fast little city which it represents. The Hornets will enter the contest without quivering. The team will be in good shape by to-morrow and ex pects to wallop out a victory right on the Jump Just to show the fans that it is in them, which, few, fortunately, are disposed to question. The line-up will not be permanent, but It will give some token of what can be expected of the new boys this season. Either Brazeile or Drumm will be on the firing line and ought to get away with the first game easily. They are counted the premier pitchers from the work so far performed by the slab artists. Warner will catch; Shu maker will be on first, Brennen on second, Linneborn on short, Baird on third, and Blanchfteld, Riley, Sharp or Smith in the outer gardens.

Korman Elberield will finish his hafebail 'Career' with" fhe" New' York American League club. He will be retained by the club, to which he is Acquisition ei PJtcber Itedfera and lnSelder Martin, as Well as d Springs, Hto MuslcUns Sluch Suwigtr Iino-Cp. Stock in Spartanburg's prospects has Uken a sensational Jump because of the acquisition of " Legs" Martin, tlv brtlliant shortstop of last year's team, and Jimmy Redfern, the re nowned sidewheeler, who was with Charlotte last season. Martin was drafted at the close of the season by Danville but was bought back by Manager Beusse. Redfern was re leased by Charlotte and has Just late ly signed with Spartanburg, arriving in that town Sunday. There are a food many fans around here who are not at all tickled be cause of the signature of Redfern to a Spartanburg contract His abil ity was recognised nerej last season, but he was not" properly supported and the fact that he Is as helpless as a baby In fielding his position, brought on his release at the hands of Man ager Collins. Judiciously handled and accurately .supported, Redfern will make a wonderful pitcher, but he la bound to have these side-lights to amount to anything at all. Fred Springs has also signed with the Musicians. He was with Sumter last season and played remarkable ball. Two of histoid team-mates there are now on the Spartanburg hne-up, Dingle and Wynne, and this fact induced him to accept terms with Beusse Instead of coming to Char lotte. He is a good man and will make a valuable addition to Spartanburg. The Spartanburg Herald, referring to Martin says: Martin was purchased from the Danville team, the trade being con summated last evening. There is no hook or crook or quib ble to the transaction. 'Legs" Mar tin e one of us, and all fandom is happy. Every lover of the game, from the 5-year-old boy to the oldest inhabitant who loves baseball and consequently never grows old ad mires Martin. "Lgs" Is the landy Kid in that dangerous territory of the infield between second and third sacks. And he's always on the Job. His pLayins Is of the kind that throws life and ginger and pepper into any old.uame, even if dead ones were playing. There la class and form to his work that you only see in the big companies. He makes errors some times, but he does that by taking chances that the average league short would pass up to profit and loss. He is a- hrillant, daszllng, spectacular In fielder and can wield the stick in a pinch. Then, again, Martin is a Spar tan. He loves this town and the peo ple In it And it's mutual of re ciprocal take your choice of words. Spartanburg looks good to him and Martin looks good to the Spftstfans. He will give Manager Beusse th best he has In shop, and every loyal fan and fannle will breathe easier now that "Legs" Martin Is doing busi ness at the old stand. Martin's brilliant work In the Caro lina League with the Spartans last season won for him an enviable repu tation and attracted attention far be yond the circuit flo last fall the Danville team of the Virginia League , bought him.

When no more promf lng copy de velops, some writers continually harp back to the subject of Elberfeld sev ering his connection with the New I for the pennant York American League club. The So the agitation became general story has for the millionth time been and culminated In the purchase of played up wlthln th past few days, i "Legs" last evening. An official of Jt so annoyed Stallings that he to- ,he Spartanburg Ball Association got day gave vent to his sentiments on ,n communication by wire with the thusiasm. Ialer on he came tp the city on a islt and reached here a few days ago. He was gladly welcom ed back and fans began. to figure that he was needed badly at the old stand to boost the chances of Beusse's men TO WINSTON FANS The situation at Winston is sum marised in these words appearing In The Journal yesterday morning: ' With the practice season over in the Twin CHy, there seems to be nothing to do now few wait until next Mon day for the game to begin In real earnest Just one thing, however. That is the opening gam' at Greensboro next Thursday. Ay a going to be woe to business K this neck of the woods when the day comes, for already we have an excursion in view, and who would stay at a desk or behind a counter when the prospect of seeing the opening game is so convenient? The prediction may be said then to be fairly warranted that business men as well as' others are going to find a strange attack of spring fever work ing in tneir bones next Thursday morning. The bosses are going to hear strange . tales about friends In town, sick headaches, dead grand mothers and other plausibilities from fertile brains. Everybody wants Bob Carter's boys to do the trick, too. So much de pends on their getting right in on the Job from the start. There are many in Vlnston-8afwn who believe that Bob Carter's Twins ought to Jump right on these fel lows at the very Jump for one thing because we want some revenge for the way the Gate City folks have been bragging about that pennant That's galling, too. The fuss the I make about raising that pennant would raise the deud. M some fellow would go out some day ana rty the old rag without arfy drums and things we wouldn't be so mad about It. There's a kind of itcning around here that wants to be scratched in Greensboro next Thursday, and no other place will do. The fans want to hang around that parade of band wagons, rubber wagons, and other accessories of the day so as to kinder sire up the enthusiasm. Then along about the fifth Inning, after the two mayors and association presidents have had their little pow-wow and ball tossing, we want to see the big end of the batting order up. Then if it shoulo read something like this in Friday morning's paper. "Brent drive a hot one over the second sack, followed by Sneddens sacrifice. Fogarty sacrifices Brent to third on a long fly to centre. With two men down. Carter singles over first. This was the only score dur ing the game." There are a few straw hats and also some derbies that want to dedi cate themselves to Greensboro's new grandstand and they want to knock holes out of the, roof in the operation You can't tell, can vnn- o-h..-. something like what The Charlotte uoserver doplst said when he picked the Twlna,and, the Patriots as winners.

Quit Your Knocking It seems necessary, once again to direct a few remarks to those so called fans who, possibly In the at tempt to strike a responsive chord somewhere, continue to rub it Into the players from the grandstand by making all sorts of depreciating Jabs at them. That is very unsportsman like and Is really bordering on the verge of being despicable. For instance, lrom one particular part of the grandstand there came a wave of acrid remarks during the game with Davidson Monday. Man ager Collns got his when he put on the mask and went in to catch In the ninth inning Just to get himself warmed up. a number of witnesses, In one corner of the stand sent forth cutting and very uncomplimentary words at him. Possibly, they meant nothing and, possibly, they ought to be passed over. But what do you suppose a man in uniform thinks when he listens to various kinds of criticisms shooting themselves at him Jn tilu home town where he has come to bring a teum of players to repre sent the cityT The manager didn't seem to notice the character of the attempted witty sayings and rebuffs that were directed at lilm. The oth er players who were victims in like manner paid no apparent heed, but everybody knows that they hear a good part of what is said In the grandstand and any man will take the criticisms more or less to heart, es pecially In view of the fact that none of them were In the least deserved. It's an unkind thing to do, that sort of business. It reflects more on the man who gets off the rot than It strikes upon the player, for soma fans who really know baseball aad know the character of players when they see them In action, know also how unsportsmanslike It is to engage In such criticism at this stage ot the proceedings. Some of the players are saying now, and you ought to know this, that they have never been In a town where the fans kicked so vehemently upon their own players. Is it not perfectly plain even to an unwise one that such a feeling on the part of the stranger player tends toward carelessness and indifference on his part? Another thing: This is no time to kick. The chronic croaker ought to be sparing enough to let the boys have a decent show. They don't care I rap about winning exhibition games. They are playing them mere ly for their own good and not to win. Some peole cry out jit a mlscue as If they were betting at least a dime on the outcome of even these practice perf ormr.'ei. Be loyal to the team at home, if you have kicking to do. wait until they get off the grounds and then go out somewhere and vent yourself.
