12 THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE. N. C. WEDNESDAY AFTEKNOOJN, SEPTEMBER 7, 1921. . " " OTIfi Comeliu! ries Couri t9 Defeating Spartans Take Easy Game From The Departed Hornets Listless Game Witnessed by Smallest Crowd of Year, Taken by Mike Kelly's Klan Who Hit Higgins at Will While Locals Were Helpless. The thoroughly faltering Hornets al lowed the Spartans to take them to ride again Tuesday afternoon and bury them almost hopelessly in the cellar by a 11-3 victory in. a game witnessed by the smallest crowd of the season, but large enough in view of the sort of baseball they have been dispensing out there this week. The main reason that the visitors won was because they hit Mush Hisrins to all departments of the lot and fielded excellently. The main reason the Bees lost was because they couldn't hit Koenigsmark at all and played another miserable game afield, six errors being chalked up agains them, and four of these being assigned Acting Manager O'Connell. It is not difficult to believe, in the light of the sort of performances of which the Bees have been guilty for the past few days, that Manager Mid kiff will not return at all to finish the season in the role of mentor. There have been a few under suspicion that the outfit got beyond anything that Midkiff could endure and that he will take advantage of this trip to his home in Huntington, "W. Va., to see his fa ther, to remain as far away from his underlings as possible until they be come scattered to the four winds the latter part of this month. CHOWD HAS ENOUGH The slim crowd that witnessed the rotten exhibition of inefficiency and sleepishness yesterday indicated that it had about enough also. It appears to be the determination of the Hornets to make sure of quitting the season where they have always belonged in the cellar and rather than take any cnances of defeating their ambitious opponents along this line, they are out there making farces of ball games. And the patronage has all of that it can stand. It is getting a taste in its mouth that is going to" be hard to eradicate, a taste of disfavor and disgust which does not augur well for future baseball in this community. The visitors did some hectic hitting. They counted 14 safe blows for an ag gregate of 21 bases, mixing doubles and triples with a plentitude of sin gles. Kolseth was one of the star batsmen of the afternoon with a single, double and triple; Sikes rapped out Ihree singles; Bob Folmar hit safely for a single' and a triple; Braun, who has been hitting at a terrific pace since coming to the local lot, crowned Higgins' offering for a double and a single and Achinger took a triple unto himself. BRILLIANT CATCH The fielding novelty of the day was furnished by young Sikes, the fleet left fielder of the Spartans who dupli cated a marvelous catch of the preced ing day when he raced toward the cen ter of the lot and with one hand, on a dead run, speared a liner from the bat of Bribeck. The fielding events were few. this being about the only outstanding per formance of the struggle. The Hor nets r-layed without life, only an occa sional spark of their former selves com ing into evidence. The Spartans started scoring in tlie first inning when the first three men to face Higgins hit safely and three runs were scored." Three more came in the next inning when two errors put men on the paths, and Kolseth cleansed things up with a triple. Sykes singled the first baseman homo and the Kelly Klan was six runs to. the good and only two innings gone., They added another in the third and then in the sixth they put a quartette across, their run-getting stopping at this point. The Hornets made one run in the seventh and in the ninth Kennedy walked, Ferry beat out a hit and both scored on a triple by Higgins.

Dr. Char-e-s ('"Buck") Wharton, veteran line coach of the University of Pennsylvania's football squad," is "through" as a su pervisor of football at Penn. Dr. "Wharton, who hasn't missed a year on Penn's coaching staff since 1898, except when serving as major in the medical corns during the World war, has given up his football work at the university in order to give more attention to his school and profess! Dn- al duties. - - It has been thought several times during his years of coaching that the squad could get along without "har ton. and he was not placed on the staff, but shortly after the season gc; under way, an S. O. S. was sent out. for it always became apparent th.it his place as line coach could not ",e easily filled. "Buck," as he always will be known to his football pupils, was a member of the "pid school," when Penn's name stood at the head of the list in collie football. He was Penn's star guard on the 'varsity teams of 1893-4-5-6, and was all-American guard after his first football year. He was also captain of Penn's famous team of '96. In 1898, when AVharton began coach ing for Penn, he invented the famous line system of play, an entirely new style of play in those days, which has been modified and revised to fit the requirements of the present-day game. The fundamental principles of this style are still the same. Among well-known players Wharton has developed are: Lud Wray, Pat Dry. er and Ernie Cozens, centers; Lew Little, Niel Matthews, Johnny Ti'.zel and Bill Ward, tackles; Bob Lamb.n--ton, Carl Thomas. Erstavag and Hem ming, guards; and Heine Miller, l?zy Levine and Hunter Scarlet, ends. Penn is at least going to start the season without the help of "Buck" Wharton, but there is much snecu.a tion in football circles as to whether it won't turn out as it has several times before. Wharton, who admits having seen 50 summers, looks to be in good enough condition to go on the gridiron today, but his most strenuous plvysical exertions will be confined to his daily exercise and supervising physical edu cation at Penn.
