Ittlngr Theiu Down With Four Hlw -Only Once Did Visitors TbrMten to Score Merunian Touctied Vp Lively Fine Attend ance nd Great Entiusifn Four Straight Game For Grewville. Special to The Observer. . y Greenville. S. C April 26. Green ville continued her winning streak by defeating Greensboro in the open ing game of the season here lo-aay by the score of 4 to 0. Touchstone was in the box for the Spinners and he allowed but four hits, no two of whU-h came in the same innlntr. Only once did McKevitt's crowd threaten the home plate, this being in the seventh inning when Doak opened with a corking two-bagger. McKevitt, Bentley and Hicks fol lowed him, but none could get one safe. -Alersman pitched the same for the Patriots and he did fairly well. In the third an error behind him. two clean hits and a base on balls, aided by a sacrifice, gave the locals three runs and put the game in the locker. A base on balls, another sacrifice and a two-bagger gave the Spinners an other tally in the eighth. Henderson umpired the game and he was acceptable to the most of them, though there is a great howl (rolng up from the camp of the Patriots, who claim that he was off on balls and strikes and that he did not give them a fair deal on the bases. About 2,600 people witnessed the game, the grandstand being crowded and the bleachers running over.

ANDERSON WON IN EYE-LASH FINISH With Two Down in the Xliith and Spartanburg Ahead, 3fnnager Kelly Sent One to Outer Garden For Three Baacs, Running in Two Scores and a VU-tory Game Fea tureless For tlie Most Part Mc Carthy Was Wild. But Held Vis itors to Scattered Hits. Special to The Observer. Anderson. S. C, April 26 In an eye-lash finish and with two men out Anderson won the first game of the season on the home grounds from Spartanburg this afternoon by the score of 7 to 6. Klock led off for the locals going out via the fly route to centre field. McMillan, who was sent in to hit for McCarthy poped up in the air and the ball' fell into the hands of Abbercrombie, the visitors' pitcher. The fans were shuffling uneasily in their seats and willing to ebneede victory when Meyers came to bat. He hit safely and was followed by Ochs who repeated the trick. Manager Kelly followed and it was after a couple had been called on him that he hit a line drive to deep centre for a three-bagger, scoring the runners amid the fierce howling of the fans In the grandjjtand and on the bleach ers. The game was devoid of features up to this inning. McCarthy was in pretty good form but a little wild. He, however, pitch ed a better game than his opponent, allowing but five hits against eleven by Abercrombie. The four errors of the locals were nearly all costly and responsible for several of the half dozen runs scored by the visitors.

Stohr. the Anderson twlrler who pitched such a remarkable game against Charlotte the latter part of last season, is with Roanoke in the Virginia League this season, and lost his first game, Saturday against peter Cnilas, fjre-nvine s eecunu baseman, who has been dolns; such terrific hitting since tne season opened, is an old-timer, having been with the Philadelphia National League team for quite a number ol years. Child "Is the field captain of the Greenville team, as Manager Stouch will not . play any this season. STINGS. Ford left too soon. Everybody Is happy her Drumm is to be heard from yet, and Braielle, too. The complexion of the col-yume is continually changing. The Twins needed to have a crimp put in them. .Some of those few singles came In mighty opportunely, j The croakers crawled back Into their shells last night. Borne of the Spartanburg fans are threatened with hydrophobia. If Brennea gets any better, this will be his last year in this company. If Riley was let alone, he might play better here. Ever think of it? Don't hear anything about Carter getting five hits these days, do you? Wonder If Stouch has got such a team as all that, or la luck breaking right. That was Finn's first victory for Charlotte. Maybe he's started. If he has, . Old Man Beusse doesn't deserve all they are probably saying about him these days. It's about time the patriarchal bunch from Greensboro la getting its spectacles on. The fact that Snedden got the first hit off the Charlotte pitcher suggests that fate is still ironical. Just think of It: The Musicians ere coming up this way before the week is out. Wow! Somebody ought to give Greens boro a push and let the old fellows get on the track. Wonder If Snedden is still lopping them over under-handed. If he Is, bunt on him, boys. It would be an awful blow to the knockers if the Hornets should happen to take two of those games. Moreland, the new outfielder who comes from Al Orth with tine recom mendations, is expected to get in the event to-dy. Counting the game that Brazelle will win, the Hornets will have made a right good raid on those tobacco-chewers. Just In order to keep the orher fel lows feeling good, the Hornets had no disposition to make a jumping start, but. reotly, we can't wait on Spartanburg. Greenville Is probably remindful of that slump into which It fell last season and Is trying to get such a start as will enable it to come over It this yeaj-j anyhow. The Winston fans want to insist that Snedden Is playing a great third. Needn't repeat It, brethren. Nobody doubts It here. Charlie Smith was simply saving up for to-day. He can't go 'long with out getting them. And there are some others like him. Blanchfleld did not accompany the, team to Winston. He Is trying to get straightened out after an Indisposition. It's a pity that Charlotte couldn't get a whack at Greenville before the last of the first week In May. Be lieve we could stop 'em. It's creditable to take the first game of the Season from a team with such pennant-winning aspirations as the Twins are Indulging. Brumfield, Greenville's shortstop last season, will play with the Raleigh club of the Eastern Carolina League. He was soM to that club by Green ville when the latter secured Land graff. Raleigh also wants Clarence Clark, the Davidson twlrler. who be longs to Greenville but who rcfues to sign the contract tendered him by Manager Stouch. Another ex-Carolina ssoclation player that will be with Raleigh this year is Bowers, the "merry widow' third baseman of the Winston team last season. RESULTS AT.PUtUCO. .
