The setting provided for Martin's lone delivery was auspicious. By reason of loose pitching on both sides, the Giants and Cubs were lock in a" tie with the score at two-all. Mar tin, who had been diligently warming up in the bull pen in right field, held up the game while he threw a few ex tra balls to the catcher who was warm ing him up. Then he strode across the field and entered the bos.. It was Earl Smith's turn to hit and he stcod by, leaning on his bat. In the stands the crowd clamored for a baso hit and j prepared to rush for the. gates in the I event that the CJiants put on a lrive m sufficient proportions to net a victory. Martin whipped five str light fat balls over the plate to Tom Daly, his catch er, and then signified his readiness to pitch. . , , Smith stepped to" the plate, Daly donned his mask and squatter! behind him. Hank O'Day. who was calling balls and strikes, set himself for the re sumption of the game. Martin wound up, let go fast one, Smith swung. He connected and the ball sped liko a shot into jhe upper tier o the? grandstand. Erminio Spalla, heavyweight cham pion of Italy, making his rs; appear ance in America, knocked out FranK Haghev of Australia in the rtrst round of a scheduled ten round bout at New ark, N.

Souvenirs With Every Bottle of TTTr PEPPER BOX We won a ball ball game even if the opposition did run in a street car con ductor against us. Larry Cheney stopped the Comers with a dull sickening thud yesterday Thanks, Larry old boy. The Giants certainly smacked the Pirates one on the kisser yesterday. The Charlotte club will come home Saturday night from Spartanburg to spend Sunday in Charlotte. We have a hunch that there may be some in teresting news given out from Hornet headquarters about that time.

They are good for them. A brother of Percv Stewart. well known Charlotte baseball fan, writes I from Boston that he has been looking them all over from the majors down and he has yet to see a better ball play er than Luke Urban, the catcher who will join the Hornets, just as soon as he gets a sheepskin from Boston college. Martin, the new first sacker from Newiort, R. I., will arrive-in Charlotte Monday and report to the club in Col umbia Tuesday. President Hyman has strings out for an infielder who, with Martin and Ur ban, ought to put the Hornets much in the race. "Koly" Kolseth says he is ready 'to get back in the game, but the big fellow doesn't look it. He won a hard battle with old man sickness and yants to be mighty careful for a while: Bottled by Orange-Crush Bottling Co. Charlotte, N. C. thf Robins bunched three for their last two tallies. Tha vet eran ended the game by striking out Hy Myers, with Zack Wheat on tnivd. During the contest Babe fannel six men and issued only one pass. The famous pitcher has a lot 6f good games remaining in his system and. is a cred it to his mofesslon. He sets a good example for youngsters who are break ing into the pastime. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE. At Jersey City a; Baltimore 3. At Syracuse 7; Rochester 9. At Toronto 2; Buffalo 3; (20 innings). At Newark 3i Reading 4. v Charlotte's going to have a ball club yet. The writer has so much faith in Luke Urban that he believes a string of victories will be started just as" soon as this nifty backstop arrives that will put us in the race. If the club can only win a few in the meantime. Come on you Urban. We are glad Tom Gheen. finally got away to a win. He is a mighty clever pitcher and will place many a game on the - right side of the Charlotte ledger this summer. & That Charlotte fans are as game as any in the world was proven again yesterday when a crowd of over 100 fans and fannies attended the Wills Gillie matinee over Blake's gaYage. With a team going as badly as have the Hor nets been recently, and playing against, the league tailenders at tljpjt, such in terest in team is really wonuerful. And there was another matinee in town that undoubtedly -. drew some. And they didn't go to knock either-r-they cheered.
