Hornets Fall Before Sparts,
Losing By Margin Of One Run
Two Home Runs and Seven
1 Other Hits Not Enough
to Win.
With Spartanburg two runs ahead
at the end of their half of the ninth
inning at Wearn Field. Wednesday af
ternoon, and with two down in Char
lotte's last half, Ray Kennedy, .pinch
hitting for Wilson, obligingly hefted
one that bounced over the center field
fence. Devereaux followed with a hit
for one base at right field, but he was
caught trying to take second, making
the Spartans 6 to 5, and giving them
two of th three-game series, here.
It was a hard game to lose. ; The
Hornets made nfne hits, two of them
for the circuit Rube Wilson had sent
a long, high one over left field boundary
in the seventh inning--while the Sparts
hit safely ten times. In addition, the
visitors made three errors. One had
inning, the fifth, was responsible. With
three on Wilson forced in one run. A
two base hit by Achinger sent in two
more and the Hornets never caught
up.
They were off to a good start, too.
Devereaux, first up in the first, was
safe on Achinger's fumble, but was
thrown out trying to steal. Williams
drew four bad balls. ' Kirke .sent him
to third base with a single and Wil
liams scored on Paschal's fly out to
second. O'Connell walked and on
his theft of second Kirke came in
home.
That was all for Charlotte until the
seventh when Carroll, who had got on
by Achinger's wild throw, scored on
Wilson's home run. Kennedy's mark
er in the ninth has been described.
The Sparts made two hits and a sac
rifice in the first net a run. In addi
tion to the three made in the fifth they
scored in the sixth, off Brooks' hit
for a couple, Wilson's bad throw of
Kolseth's tap and Hunnicut's fly-out.
In the eighth a hit a sacrifice, a passed
ball and another hit put them across
the plate again.
Garvey, hurling for the Spartans,
was rather effective. He held his
passes down to two, both in the first
inning, and kept his hits pretty well
scattered. A fast double play helped
him considerably.
Leo Martin was injured in the fifth
inning. He went too fast and too far
after a foul that landed in the right
field bleachers, stumbling in the ditch
and being knocked out for a while. He
was not seriously injured. Devereaux
took his place at first for the rest of
the game, Laricy going into right field.
Koly Kolseth stole only three times
during the game. He. went to third
on a balk once. Koly did it by taking
Jong leads and forgetting anything etf
cept that he had to reach the base.

WOMEN TENNIS
SHARKSCOMING
Lenglen-Mallory . Battles
Will Be Among the Top
notch Contests.
By HENRY L. FARRELL.
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Yew York, June 16. Looking for
ward to future battles, the Lenglen
Mallory. tennis encounters appear as
promising as any number on a program
filled with summer classics.
When the two greatest women ten
nis players come to America after bat
tles at St. Cloud and Wimbledon, most
anything can be expected.
There is no love lost between the
French and American stars. Bitter feel
ing ran through the French har court
championships, in which Mile. Lenglen
defeated Mrs. Mallory in the finals.
The ill-feeling was somewhat re
lieved when Mile. Lenglen jumped over
the net after the finals and shook the
hand of the American woman.
The French championships proved
that Mile. Lenglen is not so superior
in her class as she was generally rated.
She did win the title, but victory came
to her more through Mrs. Mallory's
errors than through her own individual
brilliance.
Mile. Lenglen respects the ability of
the American woman as was shown In
the finals of the French tournament
when she resorted to safety first meth
ods and abandoned her usual dashing,
smashing game.
Mrs. Mallory is now in her greatest
form. She was permanently, off in the
finals and practically beat herself. Con
ditions will be reversed when she gets
the flashy French star on American
courts.
Announcement that Mile. Lenglen
would cqme to the United States with
the French Davis Cup team was ac
cepted with almost jubilation in Ameri
can tennis circles. Summer competi
tion on the courts is going to be the
greatest in history here with the Davis
Cup trials, the national championships
and the challenge matches for the cup.
The appearance of the French girl wiz
ard will be far from the least feature.

BIG BOUT WILL
DRAW $1,000,000
Greatest "Gate" in History
of the Sport Expected on
July 2.
New York, June 16. The Dempsey
Carpentier boxing bout for the world's
championship at Jersey City, July 2,
will draw the greatest "gate" in the his
tory of snort.
A month before the fight, Promoter
"Tex" Rickard announced that tho
seat sales totalled ? $650,000. Since
that day, the sale of all seats has gone
on briskly except for the $50 paste
boards, whioh are exhausted, and the
general admission seats, to be placed
on sale the day of the fight. Rickard
estimates that approximately 65,000
persons will pav $1,000,000 to view the
ring action at Boyle's Thirty Acres.
Those figures will eclipse by far all
I previous records for ring contests or
any other sport m tnis country, ine
Willard-Dempsey battle at Toledo, O.,
Which established the previous record
drew $451,000 at the box office, a puny
figure as compared with what the com
ing spectacle will attract.
The Harvard-Yale football game and
the Indianapolis Speedway Races are
annually reckoned among the largest
and most widely patronized sporting
events in this country. Last fall, 79,
000 persons were jammed into the Yale
Bowl when Harvard met the Bulldog
and the total receipts were approxi
mately $250,000 about one-quarter of
the amount which will be paid for the
coming fight. The attendance at the
Indianapolis Speedway event usually
ranges between 100,000 and 125,000 but
total receipts fall short of what Rick
ard and his assistants will have gath
ered in when the gong sounds for the
first round of the Jersey City battle.
"Tex" Rickard started his career as
a promoter of championship bouts on
a large scale when Joe Gans met Bat
tling Nelson in Goldfield, Nev., in. 1906.
The receipts for that memorable bat
tle were $69,715. That figure was top
ped when Jack Johnson fought Tommy
Burns in Australia, on Christmas Day,
1908, but Rickard again established a
high mark in 1910 when boxing fans
Jfrom all over the country paid $270,775
to see the Jeffries-Johnson conflict at
Reno, Nev. Figures for the Willard
Dempsey bout at Toledo, July 4. 1919.
supplanted even that large total and
Rickard, in the coming Jersey City
match . has entered the select circle
of "million-dollar business men."

PEPPER
BOX
Midkiff will make- a better showing,
everybody confidently expects. . The
Hornets need somebody to put some
life in them.
Clyde Gatchel, loaned to Winston
Salein, is worth something to the cellar
ed Twins. Three hits is all he gave
the Greensboro team Wednesday. The
Greensboro bunch made two runs on
an error. If they can keep him long
enough Winston-Salem will put some
other team in bottom place.
If the Hornets find it hard to beat
Spartanburg, perhaps they will find it
easier to beat Columbia. The town is
Middy's tonight if he and his . cohorts
do it.
The team can not well afford to
lose Martin, even for a few days. Some
folks say that he' is a little raw, but
at times that gets a greater distance
than too much finish. There is such a
thing as being too polished. Sometimes
the too polished get polished more.
The crowd have been well treated to
alternate doses o hope and despair
lately, with an excess of despair. Time
for a change now' with less glooming.
A deputation should -wait upon the
umpires and tell - them to use their
good offices to speed up the games a
bit.
Perhaps Rube Brandon left his mask
off in the fifth inning purposely. There
are times when an umpire must con
template suicide with considerable se
riousness, j At others the folks gazing
contemplate murder.
Four games with Columbia the rest
of the week, a double bill Saturday. A
time to make or break. Come on.
Tom Knowlson, pitcher, reporting to
Midkiff today. Ought to do the Hornets
some good.:
They Say that Carpentier just natur
ally wrecks punching bags wholesale.
Dempsey, however, is no punching bag.
Of course you admire the spunk of
the fellows who are putting any coin
on Georges, but that doesn't say much
for their judgment. 1 .
The Giants won while the Pirates
lost, but the Giants needed it much
worse than the Pirates.

beauty, is now graduated into the
realm of real drama. Since she has
f oresaken the bathing beauty

Miss Marie is as stunning in one
outfit as in the other. Even if her
game is not very good, yet her cos
tume is perfect.
Title Battles of
The Heavyweights
1
Jack Johnson, V the only negro who
ever held the heavyweight champion
ship, got it as a ; present from Santa
Claus on Christmas Day, 1908. He
didn't find it in his stocking, but in a
couple of big boxing gloves that Tommy
Burns never f 6rgk)t.":J6hiison me&BiirRS
at Sydney, N. S. W., and so thorough
ly pummelled the Canadian's features
that police jumped into the ring dur
ing the 14th round and put a stop
to the punishment.'
From the start the negro battler led
the way. He floored Burns for counts
in the first round and sent him to the
canvass again in the second round but
the champion bounded back on his feet
immediately.
In the latter part of thy fight, Johnson
rained rights and lefts upon .he face
and body of Burns, whose mouth and
eyes were badly distorted from the
shower of blows. A swo'len Jaw added
to his , misery. . ;
Ha was in 'no state of mind 'to enjoy
Johnson's humor, a chir-j.ctensu. of
his race that never left the negro even
in his defeat years later. Always he
smiled and frequently he uttered mock
encouragement to the man' he was whip
ping. He talked cor.tinually. taunting
Burns and daring him to .s.ttack, the de
fiance ever softened with a grin.
Now and then Johnson cast aside his
smile and attended strictly to busi
ness. It was so in the 24tn round at
Sydney. As soon is his distressed
opponent left his corner, the negro flew
at him like a tiger and, using both
hands unmercifully, soon had the cham
pion tottering. The police then jumped
in and stopped the fight and the ref
eree declared Johnson the winner.
