lAnother Double Header
! Left in Augusta by the
Luckless Locals.
' Augusta, Ga., Sept. 15. Charlotte
ended its stay at the local baseball pas
ture "Wednesday afternoon -with the gra-
ciousness of giving the Tygers both
ends of a doubleheader, making five in
a row which they lost here and com
pleting a loss of eight straight
games the Hornets have sus
tained on the road. The scores were
10 and 1 and 2 and 0.
i
The first game was a slugging match
so far as the locals were concerned.
They seemed to be able to hit Higghi
almost as they pleased and 14 soli 3
blows were registered off of his deliv
ery. Paul Nickols, a recruit, pitched
well for the Huhn outfit. While he
allowed nine hits, all but one of them
came with two down.
The second game was a baft tie be
tween Harris for the visitors and Le
Stone, the latter having decidedly tlv
better of the duel. He gave up but
two hits while Harris was yielding six.
The events were featured by the h.f .1
.hitting of Huhn. Strand and Davis and
; abounded in some clever fielding on
both sides. The visitors worked hard
and seemed to be conscientiously dolus:
their best, but they were simply out
classed by the strength and daring of
the locals.
Augusta seems to have taken a firm
grasp on third place by reason of it
success over the Hornets while Gre?n
ville continues to play indifferently.

Greenville. S. C, Sept. 15. Allen

Greensboro and High Point
Play First of Seven-Game
Series Today.
Greensboro, Sept. 15. The first bat
tle of the championship campaign will
begin here at Cone Park this afternoon
at 3:45 o'clock between High Point,
winner of the second half of the sea
son, and Greensboro, champions of the
1920 season and winner of the first half
of the season just closed.
The Greensboro club's management is
expecting one of the largest crowds
that ever witnessed a baseball game ?n
North Carolina to be on hand to iee
the contest. Over 700 seats in the
grandstand have already been sold,
while all of the chair, or box seats
have been disposed of for today's con
test as well as for the one to be play
ed here Saturday.
The games are expected to be hard
fought as both teams are in good fight
ing trim. Rivalry is at high pitch, in
asmuch as both clubs are of Guilford
county. It is expected that the. games
will be the hardest fought ever played
in the county.
Both clubs are in good shape for the
shove-off. Those who are close to
Manager Carroll believe that he wiil
send his veteran right-hander. Doc Fer
ris, to the hillock this afternoon. El lis

Charleston, S. C, Sept. 15. The
Pals won both games from Spartanburg
Wednesday, the scores being 9 and 5
and 5 and 1. The visitors endeavoroJ
to turn the last game into, farce by
stalling for darkness to end the strug
gle without a decision.
Shortstop Clauser got into more
trouble during the game while at bat,
getting into a squabble with Manager
Cheney, who sent him hurriedly to the
club house.
The first game was featured by the
heavy hitting of the Pals, Koenigsmark
being driven to all departments of he
field. In the second game Brogan dis
missed the invaders with one hit.
REDS EASY FOR GIANTS
Cincinnati, Sept. 15. New York had

to be second choice. Ferris Is one of
the most reliable slabsmen on the Pa
triot staff and, with his unusual abil
ity in sizing up batters, followers of
the club are predicting him to sen!
Bill Pierre's men down in defeat as a
send-off.
But then Pierre has a quartet of re
liable men also. It is said that Red
Day, a steady right-hander, will start
today's fight, with Eddie Frennick as
second choice. With either man r,u
the mound the Patriots will have to
get up and move if they turn in a vic
tory. Taking the teams man for man,
there isn't much difference between
them. Of course, here- and there 3n-i
of the teams may have the edge on
the other, but roughly speaking there
is very little choice.

lows: Greensboro: Dannielly, cf; Carroll,

Y.M.C. A. GIVES
CITY TITLE AWAY
Polarines Given Benefit of
Forfeiture Because of Ab
sence of Players.
The Y. M. C. A. team defeated the
Polarines at Wearn Field Wednesday
afternoon by the score of 5 and 3 in a
contest in which the issue of the cham
pionship of the city was involved, but
the victory was unwarranted, officials of
the Y. M. C. A. team stated Thursday,
because they had to borrow two men
from the Polarines to complete a team.
After the game had been won, they
informed the management of the Po
larines that the Y. M. C. A. would not
accept the victory as entitling it to
the championship and the game really,
therefore, became forfeited to the Po
larines. At any rate, the latter team
will play the Huntersvil'le victors in
the County League for the champion
ship of the city and county.
The managements of the Polarines
and Huntersville signed contracts Wed
nesday to play a series of three games
for this larger title, the first event to
take place at Huntersville Saturday,
the second at Wearn Field Thursday,
September 22, and the third, if neces
sary, will be played at a point to be
determined later by the flipping of a
coin.
Both the teams of Huntersville and
the Polarines have been through some
exceptionally heavy programs of play
and their records during the summer
indicate that they abound in strength
and resourcefulness. Some excellent
players belong to the teams. Joe
Moody, the strike-out phenom who
started with the Charlotte Hornets and
then went to the Appalachian League,
is the leading twirler for the city
leaguers, while Huntersville boasts a
strong staff of slabbists in Robinsovi,
Shields, Lackey and Montieth.

DUFFY'S RECORD MAY
AGAIN BE RESTORED
Boston, Sept. 15. The record of 9.
seconds for 100 yards, made by Arthur
Duffy, of Georgetown University, at
the inter-collegiate championship games
in 1902, which stood as the amateur
record until it was expunged in 1905,
hiay be restored to the official books.
After a racing tour of England, con
tinental Europe, South Africa and Aus
tralia, Duffy was charged in 1905 with
having admitted professionalism in a
series of articles which appeared un
der his name. One item in the defense
now being made is an affidavit purport
ing to be that of Bernard McFadden
to the effect that it was he who wrote
the articles, not Duffy.

HORNETS BACK HOME
WITH THE SPARTANS
The Hornets are back on their own
pasture Thursday for a series with
Spartanburg, this being next to tho
last series to be played on the home
lot. The season closes a week from
next Saturday and Greenville will make
one more trip here in the meantime.
The fans will have to witness for the
next three days the hustling Spartans
who have robbed Charlotte out of fifth
position and their toreadoric leader,
Mike Kelly, who often performs on
the diamond as if a rattlesnake had
snapped him. The Spartans have be?n
outclassing the locals of late and ap
pear to have the Bees thoroughly sub
merged in the Gespised cellar position.
Two new. faces will appear at the
park today, according to announce
ment of President Hayman. One of
them is a pitcher by the name of
James, who comes from Rome of the
Georgia State League with an excel
lent record. The other is Ernest Pad
gett, the brilliant short fielder who
has been with the Twins this season
in the Piedmont League and who is
expected to stick with the Hornets at
short next year. He has done some
very impressive work with Charlie
Clancy.
