The Hornets were outclassed by the
Greenville Spinners at Wearn Field
yesterday afternoon and lost by the
lop-sided score of 8 to 4. It was
rather a slow, dull game and gave
little chance for the fans to enthuse.
Charlotte garnered a pair of singles
off "Rube" Crews one . by Ralph
O'Conell and the other from the old
war club swung by "Red Day. As
came in' different innings thfy
prove s'trong enough for a
single Hornet run.
Clyde Gatchel started on the mound
for the Hornets but didn't last an
innings. Red Day replaced him and
pitched nice ball until the ninth, when
four Spinner counters were chalked
up.
THREE FOR SPINS.
Greenville made a trio of tallies in
the first. Koval opened with a single.
Hunter flied to "Cabarrus" Fink. Bob
Folmar was walked and Bankston fled
to Day. Then Jawn Huber connected
with a lng single and Manager Lew
came across with a long triple. Exit
Mr. Gatchel. Enter Mr. Day. Crouch
hit to O'Connell and was a victim
of the great short stopper's arm at
first.
The next Spinner run came in the
seventh, i Milner opened with a one
spot ard' went, to second on Crews'
sacrifice, and to third while O'Con
nell was erasing Koval at Pat Dev
ereaux's station. Hunter hit one at
O'Connell with the speed of a bullet
and the blow proved too hard "to
handle. It scored Milner.
THE BIG SESSION:
. The big crash, was in the lyghtcap
session. After Crouch had popped
to Villiams. Milner singled. Crews
was sa.it; wnen imams messed up
his bounder, which was a .mean bail,
and both advanced on a balk by Day.
Koval flew out to Day .in center and
Hunted singled Milner home. The whole
crowd rode home when "Gentleman
Bob" Folmar crashed one over the
left field fence for a four-ply smash.

der Strain But New
Ones Come.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL,
. United Press Staff Correspondent
Tvew York, June 2. Old Ditchin
bones have had a lot of tough goir3
this season.
Youngsters, unknown and unsung,
are slipping into the regal robes of
the' old kings of the-mound.
"Lefty" Cooper, Fred Toney, "Babe"
Adams and "Red" Faber are the omy
veterans showing anything close to
their old form.
Alexander the Great is doing bench
duty for the Chicago Cubs with a scro
arm - and Jim Vaughn, his big team
mate, isn't delivering as expected.
Dutch Reuther, " sensation of the
1919 pennant dash of the Cincinnati
Reds, is a disappointment in Brook
lyn and his old staff mate, Hod Eller,
is out of the game under suspension.
Burleigh iGrimes, Sherry Smith and
in. fact all! of Uncle Robb's All-star
pitching stff cracked and Brooklyn is
falling doTtfn in the pennant race.
Ferdy Schubn and Bill Doak of the
Cards are out. of form. Scott Perry has
fallen "by the wayside with the Ath
letics. Bob Shawkey has "been useless
to the Yanks and Tris Speaker is hav
ing his trouble with his stars, Cove
leskie. Bagby and Mails.
Arthur Nehf, the $35,000 beauty of
the -New York Giants, hasn't been as
effective as Bill Ryan, a rookie pitcher,
from the International League.
Walter Johnson's work with the
.1.1. r, . .
vvtauinSiuii senators manes it sem
that the old star is almost through.
Joe Bush hasn't shown anything for
the .Boston Red Sox and George Daus
has done the Tigers very little good.
Dick Rudolph had to give up after a
brave effort and is now working with
the Braves as a coach.
Managers blame the cold, rainy
weather of the early season for the
failure of the old wings to get in
shape. But while they are waiting for
the coming of the hot rays, clubs with
good young hurlers may get out for
a lead that will be hard to overcome.
The Pittsburg Pirates are getting
the best pitching: of the year. "Lefty"
Cooper is in his best form, "Babe"
Adams looks as young as ever anl
Glazner, Zinn. Ponder, - and Yellow
horse are delivering. ' '

FAILED TO SHOW
Chantilly, . France, June 2. The ab
sence of Chick Evans, Francis ; Ouimet,
Bobby Jones and other American golf
ers at the opening of the French na
tional amateur championship tourna
ment today overshadowed the actual
contests. The club ofl5cialsfhad posted
the .American entries, and several hun
dred Americans came out by automobile,-
swelling the gallery for the much
advertised matches. '
It was explained eventually by the
club officials that the French golfer,
Castel, had suggested to the Ameri
cans at Hoylake, England, last week
that they enter the tournament and
on the strength of his conversation
he wrote to the club , to enter them.
It was admitted that there had been
no formal entries. The Chantilly golf
club authorities, however, . expressed
amazement, and disappointment when
the Americans failed .to. appear.
The club . received a telegram from
Evans, who went , to London today by
airplane, excusing his absence be
cause of rheumatism.

IIYER FIRST CHAMPION.
In 1816 Jacob Hytr beat Thomas
Beasley in the first heavyweight con
test .which carried' with it the title.
And it was twenty -five years after that
when the next important title contest
was - staged. Tom Hyer and Country
McCloskey met at Caldwell's landing in
New York in 1841 and battled 101
rounds before Hyer won.
Six years later on February :1, 1847
Tom Hyer met and defeated Yankee
Sullivan at Rock Point, . Mr., for a side
bet of $10,000. The size of the nurse
was astounding at that , time. Hyer
soon afterward retired .from the ring.
On August 31 1852, John Mbrris
sey and George Thompson met at Mare
Island, Cal., and Morrisey won the con
test in eleven rounds. '
Six years later, on. October 20, Mor
rissey defeated John. C. Heenan in
eleven rounds at . Long Island Point;
Canada. ; Two years later, however,
Heenan was recognized as the champ,
when Morrisey refused to meet him. :
Heenan didn't meet any challengers
in the U. S. '
On May 5. 1863, Joe Coburn arid Mike
McCool met -at Charleston, Md., with
the title at stake, and, Coburn won out
in a battle that went sixty-three rounds.
Coburn- soon retired.
The next big fight , was on May 16,
1865, when James Dunn defeated Bill
Davis, claimant, in forty-three rounds
at , Jr'iKe- County,. Pennsylvania-.
Two years later McCool, having de-
icaueu nui xjsyis in imrty-iour rounas,
ana Aaron Jones claimed - the title.
Dunn haa quit the game!
ENTER TOM ALLEN.
In 1869 Tom Allen defeated Bill Davis
m a grueling contest .that went forty
three rounds at St;, Louis and thereup
on claimed the championship. Six
months later June 15 of the same
year Mike McCool won 'on a foul over
Tom . Allen in . the ninth' round in a
battle near St Louis and claimed his
title once more. "There was some doubt
as to the legality of the foul.-
? Tom Allen apparently was still recog
n rzed" a s t he 'champ - wherr he met "Jem
Mace of England at Kennersville, La.,
May 23, 1870,, arid lost to -Mace in ten
rounds. The next year Mace and Joe
Coburn fought twice for the title and
both battles ended in draws.
GOSS CLAIMS THE TITLE.
In 1873 Mike McCool. still claiming
tne title, met Allen at St. Louis snd
lost in seven rounds.. Three-years later
euien and Joe Gpss met, at Covington,
Ky. (September 23), and Goss claimed
the title when Allen, fouled him in the
twenty-seventh round. After a iaise
of four years, during which time Jim
my Elliott had, claimed the title and
had been beaten by Johnny Dwyer, Joe
Goss risked his crowin in a batr:e with
Paddy Ryan; at Collier Station, W. Va.
The contest was staged May -30, 1830,
and went eighty-seven : rounds before
Ryan beat down Goss and won the
fight.. . . . " '.' .';
Two years . later. February 7. 1 82,
John L Sullivan broke ; into the r.'ng
limelight which he was ' to Jiold. foc a
quarter of a century,, by knocking out
the hard-hitting; .tough Paddy Ryan in
just nine rounds,- at Mississippi City,
Miss., . thereby .winning the title.
BARE KNUCKLES GO.
' Seven years later the last big bare
knuckle v fight was staged. And a
glorious climax from the standpoint of
battling. On "July 8,1889, Sullivan met
Jake Kilrain ; at , Richburg, Miss. The
historic battle went seventy-five rounds,
Sullivan winning. It was one of he
last as .well as one of the. most famous
long fights. in:the history of the ?amo.
Sullivan held i the title until 1892. His
popularity and his great ring record
and knowledge of the game kept him in
the sport limelight many years after
that, however right up to the days
of the present ' generation of ring fans.
