THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 14, 1921. 14 To) joy Sparts Presented With Game y The Bees In First Inning Some of the Charotte players' heads were not in good working order at the beginning of the game witn Spartanburg yesterday at Wearn Field, resulting in the Sparts rushing in two runs in the first inning. The lead was never overcome. Spartanburg made three more in the third inning, the Bees four in the same round and each team one in the eighth and ninth, giv ing Spartanburg a total of seven, Char lotte, six. To have been beaten by the tail-enders would have been bat enough, but to present them with the game, right at the outset was wore?. Wilson, who was pitching, aided by Martin, was generous to a fault. Hol liday, first man up, hit a single into center field. He stretched it into a double when "Williams dropped tho throw 1o second. Holliday was plainly out, except that the ball was muffel. That was bad enough. But Achinger, next up, hit a grounder to Wilso;:, who hesitated whether to throw it to third or first, finally letting it fly to first. There was nobody there so bcth Sparts came in home. The next three men up were easy outs but the dam age was done. In the third inning a single by Achin ger, a three-base hit by Benton, a sin gle by Witry and a double by Hunni cutt netted the visitors three runs. Wilson was taken from the game at this point and Laricy went in. When the Insects' half of the fourth was over the stands were feeling bet ter. A base on balls given Martin, a hit by Carroll, a hit by Devereaux, who stole second, a base on balls for Wil liams, and Kirke's scratch grounder were responsible for four runs. One more would have tied it and two more meant the game. The fcees made two more but they waited to make each until after the Sparts had done the same thing. With two on and two down in the seventh, Carroll had the chance to do something but he flew out to short. It looked like time for a pinch hitter, but Red let Carroll stay in. The same thing happened in the eighth inning. Martin had tapped out a pretty three base hit, scoring O'Connell, who had singled and gone to second on Achin ger's fumble. Carroll, walked. With two on, Brown, who had replaced Laricy in the third inning, was allow ed to bat. He forced Carroll at S3C ond. The Sparts' run in the ninth was made by a base on balls, a two-base hit and Kirke's error on Correll's grounder. In the ninth two bases on balls and a sacrifice fly scored Dev ereaux but the boys lacked the stam ina to put over the one run needed to tie and the other needed to win. They gave the impression at the start of the game of thinking that thoy had the Sparts easily for a win. TI13 hit by the first man up seemed to be wilder them and when they had a chance to do some easy fielding they acted foolish. That is all that the work in the first inning can be called, just foolish. The game was marred by the bel licose attitude of Pitcher Walsh, who took offense when Blackburn dared to call his bad ones balls. Walsh looks like he might have been a spoiled, pampered child all his life. He would purse out his lips like a sulky boy whenever he couldn't get them over the plate.

His two hits yesterday were nice ones, especial ly the three-bagger. He swings health ily and there is power behind it. He has a tendency to pull a little, resulting in fouls in the direction of third base. His three base drive went to right field, however. The folks cheered rapturously when Brown was allowed to bat in the ninth with a man on third and first two out. It showed pretty sentiment for the boy had been pitching well, but senti ment wins no ball games. Somebody should have been put in to hit for him. Benton, right fielder for the Spar tans, is no slouch. He made one very pretty running catch. Walsh pitched a good game but show ed very bail temper. He would argue with Blackburn when the latter called balls on him- Blackburn had to ex plain to him, time and again. The big boy would walk in toward home, with lowered jaw and beetling brow, Black burn would keep smiling but that wasn't enough. The Spartanburg pitcher seem to want to do his own umpiring. When nine errors are made in one game there is bound to be some excess scoring. The sooner the Giants get away from St. Louis the better. Piedmont League CLUB STANDINGS. Won Lost Pet.

Youngsters Go Back To Bushes The 16 Big League Clubs Send Back 161 Men for Seasoning. Chicago, June 14. The annual try out of scores of minor league baseball players by major league teams has ended and the youngsters who failed to make good - have joined in the yearly pilgrimage back to the minors for further experience, some to. return for another chance next year, but many to remain ija the bushes. Every, season two or three ' hundred youngsters are taken on the spring training trips by managers hopeful of finding at least one Cobb, one Sisler or one Walter Johnson among them, but when May 15, the day the clubs must reduce to 25 players each, comes around the tryouts are ended and most of the youngsters are back in the minors. This year the sixteen major league clubs have sent 161 men back to the lower leagues for seasoning. Most of them are . pitchers, for the heavy bat ting of the past two years has sent managers and scouts scurrying to even the smallest leagues in the hope of finding . one or two good hurlers, but there is also a good proportion of outfielders and a fair number of in fielders and catchers. . , I The New York Americans, with nine teen recruits sent back, lead both leagues, in the number of players found wanting. Manager Huggins kept only a few of his youngsters and with the exception of his pitching staff is depending almost, entirely on his last year's team. The Chicago White Sox, crippled by the loss of eight stars through the baseball scandal, took nearly fifty men south, but nineteen of the new players have found to be below major league caliber and sent back to the minors. The White Sox, however, probably have kept more youngsters than any other club, Sheely, Falk, Johnson, Mulligan, and Mostil being re cruits who have earned regular posi tions in the broken up club. The Chicago Cubs were third in youngsters sent back. Seventeen of the men tried out by Manager Evers were found wanting. The Philadelphia Americans came next with fifteen turn ed back. Washington occupies a position unique among the major leaguers, for not a man has been released. Manager George McBride started the season with a small number of players and is holding all of them. Virtually all of the men released were recruits, although there were a few veterans, such as Nick Cullop of the St. Louis Browns, who has played with - several major league clubs, only to eventually return to the minors each time.. Don Ayers and Bernie Boland were others who might oe classed as veterans. Both were released by Detroit, but Boland is getting another tryout with St. Louis. Many of the youngsters tried out this year were fresh from college ana me number of semipros given chances in the majors each season seems to be increasing. At least one of the college men has more than made good. He is Stephenson of Cleveland, who came from the Uni versity' of Alabama to nlav second base when Bill Wambsganns - broke an arm. Stephenson ranks . in the first ten batters in the league and has a good fielding record. .A majority of the players released were sent back to the minors with strings attacked and will get another chance in the majors next year. Some of them already have had several chances, but these men are alwn v cheered up by the numerous instances oi piayers who did not make good until , they had several tryouts in the senior circuits and then became stars BULL MONTANAVERY EASY FOR GARDNER Pink Gardner took both falls from Bull Montana at the Auditorium last night, winning the first in four min utes ana 25 seconds with a leg hoid and reverse doublearm lock. He took the second in 12 minutes and 55 sec onds with a headlock and body scissors. Joe Turner and Gardner will meet at the Auditorium next Monday' night in the final match in the middleweight elimination tournament The prize will be the middleweight championship belt won by Turner more than ten years ago and held by him until a few months ago when, he lost to Gene Wes tergaard. He won it back in the nexc match. Chris eBtos held the lucky ticket last night and he will be given a free rids over the city by Aviator Sheely.

Although the international polo matches between the United States and English teams, which are resumed in England this week, began in 1886 the game of polo was played before Columbus discovered Am erica. The game was introduced in the Uni ted States in 1876 but the sport is cen turies old. It originated in Persia, and was played in China and India long before ' cavalry officers, garrisoned in India, brought the sport to England and made it the "sport of Kings". Largely because of the excellent train ing' in horsemanship which polo af fords, it has been fostered by govern ment and army officials. At the close of the recent war, Sir Douglas Haig con f erred upon the sport a J'eitation", de claring it to be the most efficient train ing for army offices yet devised- Dur ing and since the war, the game has been encouraged among American army officers. According to tradition, polo had its origin 1b the court of a Persian king. It is said to have been invented by a court physician for the purpose of pro viding physical exercise for his sov ereign and members . of the retinue. About 600 A. D.f shadowy legends have it that the Tartars who overran Asia at that period carried the game to China. From Chinese' archives, it ap pears that as early as 951 A. D., there was a school for the training of polo ponies. It was shortly after this per iod that the wanderings of the Asiatic peoples took the game to India, whence it has come down to England and Am erica. - . When James Gordon Bennett brought mallets, jerseys and balls to this coun try in 1876, he and several associates gave the game its first tryout 'at Dick els' Riding Academy, then located at 39 street and Fifth Avenue, New York. Soon, the players formed the West thester Polo Club, with grounds at Fordham. When the fashionable New York set moved, to Newport, R. I., in the summer of 1877, i the Westchester Polo Club moved there also. The game immediately gained popu larity. The Brighton Polo Club was organized at Long Branch, another fash ionable summer place. .The late H. L. Herbert, until his death a few months ago, the president of the Polo Associa tion of America, was one of the founders of this organization. Formation of the Buffalo Polo Club followed and in 1890, seven clubs, Philadelphia Country Club, Westchester, Meadow Brook, Rockaway, Essex County, Morris County and the Country Club, of -Westchester formed the Polo Association. BuffalC did not join until five years later. Polo is now played at every army station in which cavalry officers are located and the Army Polo Associa tion at Washington, D. C. has approxi mately 600 officers. In England even more than in the. United States is the game an established sport for army of ficers, as is evidenced by the fact that three members of. the British team, re cently announced, are army officers. FLORIDA STATE LEAGUE.

David-Goliath and Dempsey-Willard en counters was another short and un even battle in which James J. fries whipped Jack Munroe. Munrie aspired to become heavyweight cham pion in 1904, but when he was pitted against Jeffries the aspiration appeared to be his strongest claim to a chance at the honor. Early in the second round th r?! eree thought Munroe had learned his lesson and held up Jeffries' palm. The fighters met in San Francisco m August 26. Munroe defended himsr'.f for a few seconds by raising his gloves above his head. He made eral rushes but they, fell short of t!,-ir objective. Jeffries then knocked him down for six counts. Rising, Munroe's stomach ceilidh with a left-hand punch and again he went down, remaining there for seven counts. As soon as he got up. hi fries toppled him over a third time. Munroe settieu on nis nauncaes, iiis head wobbly, but arose before tiie iast count. He clinched and the bell save! him. The second round had m sooner opened than he fell once more with a new. sore spot. Even then he cc-njd not break himself of the hab:t of coming- back for. more.
