In 17 Jertlan was on of th best hitters In th older - organlxaUon and a fair fielder, but' last year his gam was oelow par. - "Big Tim' -' principal weakness was his Inability to handle grounders) successfully. Judging by hi present, playing, h hast overcome this - fault, as he has been pieklngthem up a la Hal Chase. Jordan mad his profession debut ;wlth the genecas Tf New York in 1898.

' A few youngatera are playing this season under the shade of McKevltt's patriarchal tafli ' If yon want to' get something, anything the Winston team. a cuaelng. say 111 do, acalnat President Tft haa departed these coasts, hut His Majesty, Pops McKev ltt, rests among- us. Two games from Greensboro would put a mighty good taste m the mouth for the Winston series. , It will seem almost like the opening game of the season when hostilities are renewed at length. It'tf time for you fellows who have been figuring on Charlotte's losses to turn the other side of the paper. It is Terry-ble the way The Green ville News Is cleating Manager Stoueh. Now come on, plague you. The fans will miss the elephantl asmatic form of one Cogswell In the Greensboro outfield to-day. He Is with them no longer. If The Greenville News continues Its present tone of voice, a collision will probably occur down In, the Mountain City soon. Comfort crouches around the fact that Wlnston-Safem is the succeed ing antagonist. They might beat us If rain falls during the game. The rain faded the decorations on tho streets not nearly so much as It did the treasury of the baseball clubs that were to have battled here Thurs day. It must be very emharraslng to modest old man Beusse to have the .444,a,ely upon, him in these dsys of fine ; lui-k. And Stouch has given the slip to Mrl.atrhle. Well. the youngster couldn't have made much money In this league. He talked too -freely with the umpires. President Taft ook several fine sticks as souvenirs of his visit. Might be well to give the other distinguish ed visitor, Pops McKevItt, at least a rrviple of good cantngs. Without having been Intimidated In any way or expecting any return fa vors, the team that wins the pennsnt will have to stp upon the conquered form ot Manager McKevItt. We ought to seo"some classy pitch ing In one.. heap-this afternoon when HammerHley and v Walters go up against BraselW and either Reis, Finn or tlaselton, , the new left-hander. Charlotte releases .nd; signs an av erage of six men rt 4ay. Winston Journal. -'- And when Charlotte gets right. -ou will come from your improvised perch. The comparatively small differences in the percentages of five out of six ' teams In the Carolina League Indi cates that so far at least none of them , is outclassing the other. Charlotte, please write. Winston Journal. I Had rather show you than write. Corrlgan has Joined the Winston ' crowd, succeeding Snedden at third. ; He was released by Anderson. Sned den has found a berth nowhere as yet. He should find little trouble In 1 landing, for he Is a better man In every way than Corrlgan, McLatchle, or a few others In this association. (Now kick, drat ye, kick). Greenville News. Isn't he sarcastic? Maybe Stouch Is working 'Touch stone too much. If Touchstone Is go- In to work In every game as he Is doing at present be will 'not last. ; Spartanburg Herald. I And he nasn t lasted. Tommy Stooch Is to blame for the two games that Greenville lost to the Musicians. This paper said some weeks ago that Touchstone was being beaten by his manager. Maybe Touchstone will., one of these dsys, wake up to the fact I Greenville News. ) Soft pedal, there!

Stafford, of the Dan v i lie baseball team, and the board of directors of the Atlantic Association. 'Which could not be adjusted to th satisfaction of both parties, Mr. Staf ford has tendered his resignation as manager and player and same has been accepted. The above action was taken at a meeting held In Danville latt night, attended by the director and Mr. Stafford. Catcher Weslake was appointed temporary manager and left last night for Norfolk In charge of the Danville team. Win ston Journal. Scheming for Cuban Annexation. Reldsville Review. There Is a general feeling among the members of the House of Repre sentatives that it will not be long before the United States will again be obliged to intervene in Cuban af fairs. According to the Information received by many members the trou ble In Cuba Is being fomented by American interests on the Island. It was hinted that the sugar trust was back of the movement to secure an nexation. The prediction is being made in the Island that the United States will be back In Cuba within a year and to stay this time. What Outsiders Think of Him. Chattanooga Times. District Attorney Holton, of the western Federal Judicial district of North Carolina, Is wise In his day and generation. He wanted a Republican appointed judge of trie district, but when President Taft selected Judge. Connor, a Democrat, Sir. Holton did not do a thing but say it was all right; not only a good appointment, but good politics. "The man who fights and runs away," etc.; Mr. Hol ton Is good for several Jobs here after, and incidentally he is pursuing a course te make hlfparty respect able in North Carolina.
