JIM GUDGER NO LONGER A BEE Veteran Hurler Canned ; Roberts Gets Release Today. Jim Gudger, veteran hurler until re cently with the Houston club of the Texas league, was released last "night by President Hayman. of the Hornet. Gudger was purchased by Charlotte on option from Houston earlier in the year. He failed to make good here and was turned back. Houston released him and he asked for another chance here. He has been unable to win and his defeat at the hands of Spartanburg yesterday was the final blow. Roberts, the little catcher who blew Into town in a Ford one day and ask ed and received a job as a catcher, will go out the way he came in tomorrow with the added baggage of an uncondi tional, release. Ray Kennedy will be ready for duty Monday and Carroll will be retained as second catcher. Kennedy' is as good an infielder as he is a backstop and may plav third base until that hole is plugged.

Staff Correspondent, of Th Xfvrs, Copyright 1921. by News Publishing Co. .Western cities now are able to sod how the Brooklyns have fallen from their lofty estate, but they don't1 seem to be in any rush to look 'em over. A scout, who had been out looking for new players said he could find but one who expressed his sentiments. "His name was Damn," said the scout. Great year for the Barnhart family. Four of them broke into baseball all at once. Southern League umpires are crit icised because they take baseball too seriously or quit. There still remains an unsavory odor of some young men in Chicago who did not take it serious ly. Cleveland has been hard hit by in jury. It has lost Wambsganss, Speak er, Nunnamaker and O'Neill at vari- ous times since the team was in the thick of the fight, and yet it has held its own. There are some teams, sim .ilarly afflicted, that would not have held their own or anything which they could borrow from their neighbors. Old Jack Warhop is pitching In the Virginia League. He cap throw them Imderhand as well as ever. "The se cret of long life in the pitcher's box s to be an underhand pitdher," says Warhop. There's a tip for the begin ners. . When Spencer Abbott was appointed J.

We old boys are amazedly cutting off more tobacco. MANY LOCAL GOLFERS WILL ENTER TOURNEY Fred M. Laxton, S. L. Dieggle, T. Jtbbin Brem, N. Vernon Porter, Julian Herndon, John F- Blythe, Julian S. Miller, W. C. Dowd, Hamilton Black and R. E.

FORDSON Tailenders Take Double Bill From Hooperless Hornets With Utt And Ed Wright On Mound Spartanburg, . S. C. June 4. Spar tanburg outclassed Charlotte in both games today, winning the first 7 to 1. and the second 4 to 1. Lance Utt and Ed. Wright hurled for the Spartans and the Bees were unable to reach them, Utt allowing but three hits. Botn Wilson and Gudger were found when hits meant runs, all of the locals' runs being earned. Sensational fielding by the entire Spartanburg club featured both games. O'Connell scored Charlotte's only run in the first game with a home run, while Seaborn, loaned by Columbia to Spartanburg, parked the pill in the second game with one on. Kotch made two circuit catches for the locals while Correll robbed a Char lotte battel of a triple, with a beauti ful catch in the second game. SPARTANS SCORED FIRST. Spartanburg scored first in the sec ond inning of the initial contest whe t Kotch walked, was sacrificed to second and went across on Correll's one timer. Charlotte tied temporarily in the fourth when O'Connell sent a terrific drive over the left field fence for n home run. On his next trip to the plate O'Connell lined one to left 'that snissed scaling the fence by only a few feet, but the leftfielder made a sen sational catch , of the pill. Hits by Brooks and Richards and sacrifices bv Correll and Seaborn were good for two Spartan runs in the fifth. ACHINGER IN PINCH. Utt's crowd put over another in the fifth on hits by Walsh and Achinger and a sacrifice by Braun. Richard's triple to center scored Cor rell in the sixth. Correll got to third when he singled to left and Paschal let the ball get past hirrr. The final Spartan runs were scored in the eighth. Kotch singled and tal lied when Brooks tripled to the center field fence. Seaborn's one-timer sent him over. Ed. Wright pitched great ball against the Bees in the nightcap. The only Bee run was scored in the sixth when Devereaux walked and went to third on O'Connell's long single to center. jPaschal lined out but Williams shct one over the infield and Dev tallied.

Why all this wailing about pitcher3, about the ball, about the bat and about pretty much everything else which doesn't happen to meet the fancy for the - moment of any manager whose team is not doing as -well as he ex pected? For the benefit of the fans I have made a comparison up to June 2, of this year, . estimating the probable suc cess of the pitchers for this season as against-: their achievements one year ago. ' I. don't see that the American Leagne has - much , about which to complain. For instance, Jones, of Boston, is away better than he was in 1920. If he Keeps on as he is going, he will be onj of the stars of the circuit. Cleveland can't kick, .about Coveleskie for his ra- win give. himT. higher ratthan & had last year. Baebv. of Clpvptonrt ! nun or victories for 1921, if continued 12 points off his 1920 ratln. tV 1 does not improve he will be likely to lose twice as many games in 1921 as he did last , year. Bagby, however, is of the improving , kind and it is too early for Cleveland, to despair of him. Mails, of Cleveland, has not lived up to the phenomenal showing he made in 1920, but it could not be expected that he would. He is doing better every day, however. On the other hand, Uhle, of Cleveland, is pitching much mora successfully this year than last. There has been a lot of talk about Shocker, of St. Louis, slipping. He shows no sign of it when you review his work from the- beginning of the season. On the contrary he is pitching better than he did last year. Mogridge, ul wasmngton, and Hoyt, of New York, are doing better than they did in 1920. Carl Mays, of the Yankees is pitching almost exactly to the form which he displayed in 1920. Erickson and Zachary, of Washington, are. running- in the" same -channel and hold ing so well ( to the course that you would almost believe a Winter had not elapsed between their efforts of 1920 and those of 1921. ' Faber, of Chicago, is doine better and so -is Rommel nf Phiiwr in . j . i j . . .

Leonard is less effective and compares badly with both Red"Day M Oil anager 0L Eddie E. Hoopei of Baltimore, Md., was last night deposed, as the manager of the Charloife Baseball club Yester day morning President Hayman and Secretary Moore, of the Hornets wired Hooper asking for his resignation, hop ing to let him-down easy. Expecting that Hooper would comply with the re quest President Hayman gave a story to the newspapermen to the, effect that Hooper had resigned. : . A dispatch, was sent to Spartanburg to this effect arid Hooper is reported to have taken . exception" to the state ment that , he hal . "resigned" and stat ed that he would never quit any ball club but that he had to be turned off. Upon hearing this report Messrs Hay man and Moore proceeded to "fire" Mr. Hooper by the method which he appear ed to desire. Anyway Mr. Hooper has appeared in a Charlotte uniform for the last time whether he was fired or resign ed. . paounouuii stbav 'ji ouiij aims oqj y that they were making an effori tc land a star ball player to take over the managerial reigns. Before the season opened Charlotte looked to have a" team that would be up there battling, for the pennant ail the way. But they lost the first series to Greenville and -have been going badly ever since. It has been generally known Champ Goes vmre LATE FIGHT DOPE Carpentier Works Secretly DEMPSEY Atlantic City, N. J., June 4. Jack Dempsey resumed his boxing here to day when he went six slow rounds with three sparring partnerse. While Dempsey took things easy, he was breathing in a labored manner at the conclusion of the workout, indi cating .that his wind has not yet reach ed ringtime perfection- ' Neither Martin Burke, of New Orleans,- nor Jack Renault, of Canada, had to stop much in the way of punch ing during their altercation with the champion. "' Larry Williams of Pittsburgh, how ever, took a hard right on the chin that spun him around. Jack wore a rubber bandage about his midsection and worked in full length scarlet tights. He ended the day's work with some calisthenics. The champion declared , tonight that he believed Georges Carpentier "had the right hunch" in refusing to charge admission to his training quarters at Manhasset, thus enabling him to hand pick" the crowds which watch him work, -r "One fellow came up to the gate one afternoon just as I was finishing up." Jack said tonight. "He insisted on coming in, although the fellow at the gate told him he was too late to see any boxing. Well, he paid his money and came in, and I guess he thought I ought to have got back in the ring and done it all over again. "That kind of a thing makes me wish we were not charging any admis sion." ' ; . " Just , before time for Dempsey to climb into the ring for a workout with his sparring partners this afternoon a jaded figure was seen plodding down the road with a battered suit case and a. pair of boxing gloves dangling along beWrM. It was Leo Houck, bound for the railroad station and making good mileage. mileage. He's the latest'" nf 'thP rLm: pion's sparring partners to "resign". .'I could not, stand his punches," Houck said.

Back To Boxing CARPENTIER Manhassett, N. Y., June 4 Georges Carpentier had another one of those star chamber sessions with his spar ring partners, trainer and manager Dcs camps today. , No one but the Frenchman's official family knew what went on, but it is safe to say there was no repetition of yesterday's' incident, when Carpen tier was wrestled to the floor of the ring by Journee, one of Kis stable. While the incident had no signifi cance, Carpentier and Descamps ap parently believed the former had been disgraced before. the group of newspa per men present. Journee apologized profusely at the time but; ; in addition he probably will be more careful of Georges after, this. Carpentier's continued 'dependence upon his right in semi-public workouts, had clinched the impression that in his secret sparring he is perfecting a new punch with his left. No outsider has been able to get ay line on what it is".
