I' " show nc of h- L v o him Just as It is to B9M it. . one win happens not to have a winning team. And now finally and purely senti mentally. If you pleaate. It is not only humiliating, hut it im extremely unfor tunate for a manager to be cut loose this late In a season. All the posi tions open to managerial talent are filled and as a player. Manager Col lins may have difficulty in finding a , place this year. That Is only one de that hei0f a number of rather unfortunate facts in connection with the situation. Manager Collins has worked for six years to secure a reputation as the mentor of a baseball team. He has won two pennants and has stood at the head of successful aggregations before he came to Charlotte. He took the ragged and totally torn and depleted local team late in the season of last year and played it after he took charge to a percentage of .460. .671 and .573 was the figure that won the pennant. But it makes no difference now what he has done in the past. The baseball world takes a man's last chance as his criterion and Judges him by that standard. MANkGER COLLINS WELL LIKKD. And apart from all these consid erations. Manager Collins has thee qualities of a gentleman in him. There is nothing of the boisterous or un truly element about his demeanor. He h extremely courteous and pleasing lh. his address and had won many warm, personal friends In the city. It Is due the board of directors to say that he holds the personal regard and high esteem of each one of them. The better element of the patronage of the game thinks well of him as a man in whom confidence can be placed and If there be any deficiency In hi man agerial talent, ' there is none In his manly make-up. Let It again be emphasized that this paper proposes to stand by the direc torate in whatever course it may pur sue in Improving the condition of the team. Time may attest to the fact that the only wise course has been followed. That Is to be sincerely hoped, at least, and portions of these columns will be honestly devoted to the realization of that fact. If there is any differences existing between this paper and the directo rate of the baseball club. It Is merely a difference of opinion. And this opin ion will be willingly sacrificed for tho betterment of the standing of the lo cal club Just as quickly as the charge effected tends In that direction. Sep arate from all sentiment, it is con tended that the substitution is ques tionable and with that, together with a renewal of the pledge of Its upport, the end of this Is at hand. relative to mmati rial. It pro- the directorate in THREE HORNETS WERE RELEASED one and another In r.f J . . ... p' it to , ,:.e.; ': wu'. - Tv,, , , ,Be entirely tft tk " "'""r. in tht mean- The directors of the local ball club last nixht released Centre Fielder Mc Laughlin, who was secured early in the season from Anderson; J,eft Fielder Boyd, who was signed a few days ago after he had been released by Greenville, who took Noojin, the erstwhile Hornet, and Pitcher Hazel ton, whomV,Manager Kelly, of the An derson team, declares to be one of the best twlrlers In the league. These went up in the smoke that consumed Manager Collins. McLaughlin was not heavy enough with the stick. He is one of the best fielders in the league and is a safe bunter, but lacks in hitting qualities. He has The advantage over many others in the league and on this team in knowing how to play baseball, his technical knowledge of the game be ing especially valuable. The direc tors figured, however, that the need of a heavy sticker in the outfield was too urgent for him to remain. Boyd only played in one game, but showed no striking qualities as a bat ter, although he is said to be a fast fielder. . Hazelton Joined the team some days ago, coming at a fancy price from Manchester, O. He is a south paw, with plenty of speed, but was not worked frequently enough to get In control of the ball. He Is a splen did pitcher and ought to have no trouble in landing on some of the other teams in the league.

Special to The Observer. Anderson, 8. C, June 5. Anderson took to-day's game from Greensboro by the score of 6 to 2, making it two straight and the bigger part of the series. It was a fast, snappy contest from beginning to end, and though several errors were made there was plenty of enthusiasm from the outset. Anderson won put in the first three innings, scoring one each in the first and second and three in the third. The Patriots got a man across In the second and the other run was a homer by Jackson in the eighth. The ball was a clean hit and sailed over the left field fence on the fly. Thompson started the game off for Anderson but was wild and after the first Inning, though no hit had been secured off his delivery, McCarthy was sent in. He pitched a good, steady game and was effective in pinches, sev eral times pulling himself out of a hole when It seemed certain a score would be made. Walters twirled for Greensboro and was hit hard In the first half. In the latter part of the game he steadied up and few more hits were secured. The features of the game were a catch by Mc-Kevltt at first, the double from Miller to fichmick and the hitting of Jackson, Slsson and Walters for the visitors and Klock and Kelly for An derson. Jackson secured two In three times up, a homer and a double, and Klock hit out three singles In four l s o 19 times up. ANDEBSOV AB H PO A Ocbr.
