"However, that la not worrying Fred Sprints In the least for there Is no town ln the circuit that he pre fers visiting than this same Greens bore, N. C, and for a very good anil sufficient reason. Next month Springs Is going to Greensboro without the ball team. He Is going there to play a date iof his own, made Independent of the Carolina Association schedule. He is going to join another team, on which there will be Just two mem bers. Tho umpire on this occasion nill 'have a "Rev." before his nama and Springs will make a home run. "The doughty left-fielder Is going to git married. The prospective Mrs. Springs is a Greensboro lady and tha event Is comln;g off ln June, so the oope says. Springs has made himself Immensely popular ln Spartanburg by his hard bull-playing and clever man ner toward all, and his hundreds of friends liere and all over the circuit will extend best wishes to him and his bride. "There are two more members of the Spartanburg team who are said to be not far from "signing" the same kind of contract that Springs Is go ing to sign. In each case It Is a Spar tanburg girl who Is the attraction. In fact, It Is said that this is the real reason these two players are in Spar tanburg this year, as they both hart ( pportunltles lo go elsewhere at larger salaries, but the "terms" at Spartanburg were irresistible." SHORTSTOP BALL, WHO WAS TRADED TO CLEVELAND ; $ Neil Ball, vhom .the Cleveland Naps obtained from the. New York Americans the other day, is slated to replace Terry Turner" at short while the latter's lame arm is givea a chance to rest In the early part of last season Ball electrified the league with his sensational fielding and bat ting after Elberfeld was Injured. Then he fell away in hitting and also in fielding. He mixed errors with the most brilliant plays Imaginable. This spring Stalling tried Ball at second base, and he made more than 'good as a fielder, but his batting was too weak to warrant the berth. With, two such generals as Lajote and Bradley beside him Ball should show at. his best with Cleveland. ' V S"'- m '.; . v ' a 1 ... o .v ...

Winston and Greenville have been Interfered with by rain during the entire series. Pug Hicks ought to recognise the fact that he is ln civilisation when he is in Charlotte. About the only thing the Greenville dopester has a kind word for these days Isthe rain. McKevltt still crouches down over the plate as if the space for his feet was too limited. Togo Bentley sounds Inhuman, but he handles himself like a veteran ball player in right field. All umpires have bad days, but some of those decisions Saturday were so palpably wrong! With a little more strength which Anderson is getting. Manager Kelly is going to cut a mighty swath. Spartanburg goes to Greensboro for a season and Greenville to Ander son. Winston comes here, goody. While the decisions of the umpire did not loee the game for us, they contributed mightily In that direction. Some of the grandstand lost its head at times Saturday. Pity some of the spectators can't be fined some times. Dobard is a notable improvement on shortstop, but many of the local fans are sorry to see Simmons out of the game. This Is no league for left-handers, but Tony Walters continues to deliver the goods. By the way, have you heard his price? In picking a baseball playec, some times some other qualities ought to be Included ln the selection other than great ability. Frank Norman and Jenkins, the young fellow who tried for third base here in the early practice, have sign ed with the Waynesville team in the Western Carolina League. Some of the Greensboro players have not learned how to behave in a city. They can cut up in Oreens boro and Winston, but this is not a rural settlement down here. President J. H. Wearn "Saturday slapped a fine of $10 on one pug Hicks that belongs to McKevitt's tribe of players. Hicks was ugly and al most Indecent in front of the grand stand at one time during the game. The president will suspend him upon the repetition of his act. T0MMIE STOUCH AS A MANAGER Tommie Stouch needs no defense at this distance or at closer range from the rather acrid attacks being 'made upon his managerial ability by the sports writer of The Greenville News, but they are in the main so unreason able and so utterly without substan tial foundation that here Is a slight word in his behalf. Whatever may be Stouch's attitude to the majority of the fans in Greenville and, he must certainly be in good standing, he Is bt eminent good favor around the cir cuit and is generally considered a val uable asset to the league. He Is a gentleman, first, both on and off the Meld. He is opposed to rowdyism and holds his men In good control. He Is recognised, too, as be ing easily one of the premier mana gers of the league. His ability t0 pick up playera that are started up high er from -this league is not exceeded ln ; this circuit and for that reason he tends to give the league some stand ing and reputation. I The chief attack made upon him by The News Is his prralstence ln play ing some of his men In various posi tion. That may net appear to be wise to one man, but altogether sen sible to another. It might be subject 'to olticism and there Is no need of : hf Ing presumptiott and taking either dde of that Question here, b:t whsn a manager of Stouch's standing and -. 1 ility I ooiinced upon with ths sptr- ' H that The Niews displays, and It has ; nprearcd heretofore, to be altoa-fther , i ir and Impartial, the opportunity to my Just a word from an outside nolnt ' of view, enn not be passed up. What say you all? This ln the best of feeling. THE TWINS Tins VFTERXOOX. The Hornets and the Twin to Try Conclusions at Latta Park Thin Af ternoon -Great Game Exp noted. The Winston-Salem baseball team, headed by Manager Carter, arrived In the city yesterday snd Is quartered at the Buferd. This afternoon at Latta Park, the Twins and the Hor nets will try conclusions.' the game being called promptly at 4: IB o'clock.

SOME EXPERIENCES OF UMPIRE LAR0CQUE The following extract from The Fall River, (Mass.), Daily Herald. concerning the experiences of Umpire LaRocque who is officiating In this league, la decidedly Interesting: A few da3 ago Samuel LaRocque stopped over with us for the purpose of shaking hands with the boys be fore going on his way to take up his duties as an umpire in he Carolina League for the ensuing reason. "Sammy Rock" that's the way we all address him was born ln Can ada ln 1$63 and came with his par ents to Fall River along about 1872, and, like most young shavers from the country who drift cityward was al ternately schooled and worked for the next few years of his life. As a very young boy be displayed great physical strength, and natural ly enough the outlet was provided by the sports that flourished hereabouts at that time. He took to Juggling 200-pound dumb bells much as the ordinary kid does to running Mara thons at the present day, and many are the tales extant to-day, told and re-told by the old guard, of the young French-Canadian boy's prowess when put up against the celebrities of hU time in the weight-lifting contests. Last summer he umpired ln the Cotton States League, comprising the Cities of Vlcksburg, Monroe, Jack son, Gulf port, Columbus and Meri dian. He likes the indicator Job first rate, and when questioned about the unpleasant features that occasionally crop out In It, says there Is nothing to it if a man possesses dignity enough to keep the players at a proper dis tance. This gallant representative of the ball and the bat has In bis quarter of a century of active service travel ed thousands upon thousands of miles in railway trains, but has never been In an accident. He has dodged sev eral cyclones, notably the big one at Birmingham, Ala., a few years ago. Sam has wintered up to the past one at Birmingham. Ala., for nine years and put ln his time very profitably on the Are department or this wide awake Southern city. He has with all of his moving from place to place never experienced a day of serious Illness, and, In fact, has had only one injury In his recollection that caused him any great pain. That oc curred over in New Bedford when he was playing first base for Fall River in the post-season series in '93 or '94. Fred Tenney, ln sliding hack into the bag. came near splintering his right ankle bone and he felt the effects of It for many months. LaRocque Is happily married and owns a nice farm ln Windsor Mills, Canada, ln the Province of Quebec. He has a sister maTrled living in Maine, and a brother, William, who has lived ln Fall River since coming here as a youth, and Is engaged in the lumber trade. "Sammy" Rock's career, when we take Into consideration the years of active service on the diamond, with the tremendous changes ln playing rules and customs of the gnme dur ing his service, is without question one of the most remarkable In the an nals of the game. This much Is be yond the power of cavil: There has never been one whom we can rlghtful- jajfslsejJii-riTnsj 3 if.&rstZ? Wa. J; ' iAf LENNOX, BROOKLYN'S THIRD BACKER, ONE OF THE FINDS OF THE SEASON Every year at least one or more young baseball "phenoms" break in to fast company, and this season has been no exception In fact, it has been a remarkable one for the many recruits who have come Into the majors and made good. In Edgar Lennox, the Brooklyn Nationals have picked up one of these Jewel, and he already is the Idol of the fans. The club was luckr indeed to land the youngster, and It he continues at the' fast clip he has been going he w ill prove to be the Kohinoor of the "rough dlampnda" Lennox's batting since he secured a regular berth at third base for the Dodgers has been sensational. He has been swatting the ball at a .4i clip all season, and the beauty of his stick work is that K -has been timely. As a fielder he has show himself remarkably apt Be covers a considerable amount of ground, can get a ball either to the right, or left, and his throwing is accurate and speedy. On banted balls he aas also proved his worth, and hi style In tossing them to first while on the Ma- can be compared with, tae ly clalm as our own who has any where nearly approached his record, either as to years of service or in all round capability. . With all of this experience with the world, he comes back to us again Just as quiet and domestic ln tastes, as unassuming in manner and as diffi cult to lead Into foolish bravado as the most experienced sea captain who has braved all the dangers of the deep and likens them all to mere squalls. He la an honor to the country of his birth, to the land and city ol his ademption, and the only wish of his countless friends Is that if he ever tlrea of any other place he may see his way to round out his days In Fall Rhrer. lAtonla Spring Meet Tuesday. Cincinnati, May 13. On Tuesday the Latonla Jockey Club will open it spring meeting, scheduled to continue 30 days, with the 27th running of the derby as the feature. The meeting will mark a departure In the style of betting used st the race meetings held at Lexington and Louis ville, the human bookmaker replacing the mutual machine. The derby hj bern chopped to pieces by numerous withdrawal. Winter Green, which showed such wonderful performance In the Louis ville (Ky.) derby, was Injured re cently. It looks as though the field on Tuesday would be made up as fol lows: Warfield, 114: Olambula, 114: f ir Catesby. 107; Plate Glass, 110. and The Peer. 114. Provisions have been made at the track for more than one thousand horses and every stall has been ap plied for. Golfer at Memphis Tills Week. Memphis, Tenn.. May 23. More than a hundred golfers from many Southern cities ore here for the an nual championship of the Southern Golf Association, the opening match of which will be played Tuesday morning. Kills Knowles, former eastern Inter collegiate champion and recognixed champion of Florida and Alabama, tested the championship course to day with an easy 78. He Is at tho head of several golfers from Pensa cola. Lawrene Eustice, of New Orleans, Is the favorite for the championship. New Orleans has furnished the win ner for three years, Leigh Carroll and Nelson Whitney having won the title, the former in 1908 and the latter ln 1907 and 190S. Whitney will not be among those competing this year. Closing of Slier City Institute. Special to The Observer. SllerCity, May 2 3. Dr. J. F. McCul lcugh, editor of Our Church Record, Greensboro, preached the baccalau reate sermon for the closing exercises of the Slier City Institute here thl morning at 11 o'clock, to a large audi ence. His subject was the "Success ful Life and How to Attain Unto It." He handled his subject ln a scholarly manner, delivering one of tht ablest sermons ever preached here. The closing exercises of the filler City graded school will take place Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, commencement proper being Friday. Professor King, of Greensboro, will deliver the annual address. Rev. K. R. Welch, of the M. E. church, Kipling, will preach a special sermon to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows In the M. E. church here this evening at R o'clock. To Ooaoh Davidson Football Tranv It Is understood among football en thusiasts that Mr. F. M. Simmons, of the local bar, during the fall of this year, will coach the eleven of David son College. Mr. Simmons Is a splen did athlete and was for several sea sons coach at the University of North farolina for both baseball and foot ball teams. The Davidson College young men are enthusiastic over the prospects for their football team this fall under Mr. Simmons' direction and It Is earnestly hoped that noth ing will occur to interefere with the present plans. Mr. Simmons will doubtless make several trips each week to Davidson during the prac tice season, the arrangement being such that he need not be absent from his office but a few hours each day.

Taken, to the Suae Penitentiary at Columbia by S Farmer, to Whom the CriminaTs Brother Gave Him lTpBynun IVecly Admit Doing the Shooting 1 and as Freely Ac knowledges That He Wss in the WVrmg Negro Has Bern Chased by Posses For Nearly a Week and ' Claims That Me Was Never Out of Hearing oX the Hanters, But Managed Always to Elude His Pursuers, Observer Bureau, 1230 Berkeley Building. Columbia, & C . May 23. Ed Bynum, ths Lexington negro who shot and seriously wounded Sheriff Corley, of that county, last Wednesday morning, and for whom posses have been scouring Lexington county lght ad day with dogs con tinually since, was brought to the Governor's Mansion st 7 o'clock this morning by Mr. Jacob B. Oswald, s good and law-abiding farmer of that county, who, with his son, William P. Oswald, and his nephew. Tillman Taylor, traveled all of last night through the most unfrequented por tions of the oounty fn two closely covered top buggies by circuitous routes in order to bring the negro to safety and prevent his falling into the hands of the mob. In the absence ot the Governor, Secretary Bethea directed tho party to the penitentiary, where the negro will remain until his trial ln Lexing ton. It may be necessary to have ths trlsl under military protection,' as was done ln a recent case ln Lexing ton, when two negroes were tried for the murder of a white woman. Still, as the sheriff Is rapidly recover ing. It Is thought this might not have to be done. The negro wss surrendered by his brother, Jim Bynum, who lives on Mr. T. J. Draft's place, about IS mile sfrom the seen of the shoot ing. Ed, after getting nothing to oat from Wednesday morning till Satur day morning, remaining In the swamp all the while, he says, went to his brother's for food. He says the mob was watching the house closely, but he saw an opportunity to slip In In the day time, when the crowds thought he way away. Crowds had visited the house every night. Mr. Oswald hid the negro in his barn all Saturday, starting out with him Saturday night about 3 o'clock. It was a dismal and difficult trip they had to Columbia. Once the buggy carrying the negro and the senior Oswald overturned In the darkness and painfully bruised both. Mr. Oswald claimed no reward, and was turning to go home without the suggestion of even reimbursement for his trip, when Mr. Bothea warm ly commended him and told him to come back to Columbia when the Governor got back from New York and he would he suitably paid. MAKES CONFESSION. Bynum, who has the appearance of being as much Indian as negro, freely admitted doing the shooting and as frankly confessed himself In the wrong. "I Just don't know how I come to shoot the sheriff," he said. "When the women folks, my wife and sister, came in where I was screaming about the sheriff coming for me, It got all over me in a second and I grabbed up a gun standing by and shot. That's all there Is to It. But I have not been trying to run away from the law. I have been wanting to give up, but I knew I would be killed if I did." Bynum says he was never out of hearing of one posse or another. He heard the crowds shooting about his father's house to Intimidate them, and he was only a short distance away when the dogs were started after him. He eluded them by wading down a branch about three miles. He says he never left the swamp the entire time. Once a crowd all but caught him. They never knew Just how close they were to him. He ducke dunder a little bridge and seeing up through a crack recog nized five of the men passing over with guns. They were discussing plans for killing him at the time. He says ho ran the negroes out of his crop, which Dr. Jim Caughman i had taken charge of on his leaving; tnai Mr. i;augnman would not ad vance him money nor clothes and he had left the crop for a few days to go and work for some, and tst couldn't stand to see the other ne groes working his crop when he got back. The mob was watching everv move ! of the Governor's secretary, apparent 1 ly. A day or so ago while Mr. Ttethea was talking over the 'phone, giving suggestions as to how to got i the negro to safety In case he was : caught, at the end of the conversation jsome fellow listening on the line from a nearby point called back: "Don't you worry a moment about getting that negro to safety. He is oyr meat. He will never get out of this county alive. We know all your j Plans and you had as well call It all on No Tariff Wltliout Them. High Point Enterprise. There is a report current that rnn. j cessions will be made on both sides In the tariff revision matter and that :the revised bill will be ln the hands of the President by Julv 1.

If the president ' had msde a serious mistake from a party standpoint, the party " organi sation should have held Itself to- gether and not allowed some, of its most influential leaders to berate the President as they have done. It may ; be possible that the President has a . policy of getting rid of some of the , Republicans in ths South who haver made it their business to raise a row on all occasions simply to Injure ..the . other fellow and call attention to themselves.
