; ' Winston, July 31. The Hornets won
from the Twins here Saturday la one
of the fastest and beat attended games
fit the season. Although the Twins
used four pitchers ther were unable
" to stem the hitting streak of the vtel
' tors, and this coupled with Hankie's
merciless pitching won the game for
' them. Hankie waa easily the alar per-
former In the contest. The Twins
rwere at his mercy at all times and
' never seriously threatened to
even
score, much leas to roll op a high one,
' with, of course, the exception in the
' fourth Inning, when two bits and a
' -sacrifice brought In their only run.
'. At the hat McMillan defeated all
. comers, bitting two safeties, a double.
