3 Indians KELLY WON ON SORRYPLAYING Locals Unable to Get Any Pitching and to Do Any Fielding. It began to look so much like the Hornets might win a ball game Friday That in the fifth inning, the pitching ami fielding conspired not to break lhe record of the past ten days and the U.eos proceeded instanter to let the Spartans get enough runs to settle 1 the outcome beyond any shadow of a doubt and the visitors finally managed to make the score 12 and 7. Wright did some shoddy pitching find got some support of the same kind. Fact is, however, that the pitch ins: and the fielding were just about i'n a parity and both were the esence of putridity. Wright was relieved of his duties in the fifth when the insur gents got their bats to ringing against his stuff and before Harris could get any tiring on the ball the Spartans made enough runs in that one frame to win any ordinary ball game. It was the 10th straight defeat ""for the Bees who will probably run their string of losses on out to the end unless they show an entirely different display of form than they have been showing hero lately. ' FEW SEE GAME Of course, it makes little difference whether they win or not so far as their destiny in the standings is con cerned. Neither does it amount to much how they play so far as the baseball going: crowds of the city are concerned, for these are no longer at Wearn Field. They quit long ago and will not see the Hornets of 1921 in action any more. Consequently, the Hornets can do pret ty much as they please in the matter of playing or not playing and they seem to have electedi not to exert them selves. They have no hustle in their bones, no ambition to win, no desire to stage any sort of a fight and all the opposition has to do is simply to put on uniforms, go out into the park and run through the mechanical motion of getting a victory. The Polarines, Chad-wick-Hoskins, Huntersville, Cornelius or any other amateur team that has been performed in this vicinity this peason would find the professionals nbout as easy to dispose of as any of their enemies in the S. A. L. Rabbit Whitman, fleet center fielder of the Twins, was in the gardens for the Bees Friday and made a good im pression as a fielder. He did no hit ting to amount to anything. He was loaned to the locals through the gener osity of Manager Clancy of Winston. His presence relieved, the management of the necessity of utilizing its pitch ing corps in the outfield, a situation that was provoked some weeks ago by the injury to several of he regulars whose places have not been filled. The scoring. Sikes walked to start the fifth when the game was won, and Folmar singled. Long John Menzel drove both home with a slashing triple. O'Connell then called Wright to the bench. He hadn't more than got there before Harris, his successor, had dished out ' a pass to Achinger. "Witry doubled and two more runs were in. Kelly's Klan start ed off with its customary dash and had a run before you could think twice. Marlette singled and stole second and Kolseth drove him home with a single. They didn't hold the lead long, how ever, for Hill their pitcher, couldn't get started and the Hornets scored twice in their half, two bases on balls, Achinger's boot and Utt's single turning the trick. Wright walked two men to start the second and both of them scored when Marlette and Braun followed with singles. Then Kirke and O'Connell uncorked a pair of errors and Marlette and Braun were in. Errors by Marlette and Witry, Mil ler's fly netted two more for the Hor nets in their half of this inning and the Bees forged ahead in the fourth by slipping over another brace on a scratch hit by Wright, Miller's three bagger and O'Connell's single down the third base line. There was no more counting until the fifth when the visitors put the game on ice. They did not need their last three runs, one of which came in the sixth on a double and a single and the others in the eighth on two singles, a sacrifice and an out. After the fourth Hill settled down and held the locals to one hit and no runs for four innings, letting up in the ninth long enough , for the last Charlotte run to be scored by means of a pass to Ferry,, two. stolen 'oases and an our.

NEW RECORD IS SET BY MEMPHIS CHICKS Atlanta, Sept. 17. The 1921 season of the Southern Association, that closes today with the Memphis Chicks as pennant winners after a runaway race, proved a record breaker for games won by the champion team. The Chicks, with 103 victories, have hung up a new record, acording to re cords which show no other Southern team having passed the century mark. The total home runs were 347, and "Dutch" Brensen, Birmingham first baseman, has clouted 22 homers, which beats the mark set last year by "Bing" Miller, of Little Rock. In ad dition to this, "Stuffy" Stewart, Birm ingham second baseman, is credited with 69 stolen bases, the second best record in the league. Jimmy Johnston holds the record with 85 made several years ago. . 'ZSSSSi Off Tryon) rnone mo PATRIOTS SCORE SECOND VICTORY High Point Yields to Patri ots Who Had One Great Inning. High Point, Sept. 17. In a battle crammed full of sensationalism the Patriots overwhelmed the High Point contingent here Friday afetrnoon by the count of 6 to 4. It was nip and tuck until the seventh round. In thi3 innine the Patriots wrecking crew assaulted Eddie Frennick, Pierre's ace, with a murderous fire, reaping a har- o i vest of four runs. Larruping Jimmy Teague and Red Holt hit the ball over the fence in the second and fourth in nings, respectively, for their tribes Red Irby was the bright star for the local aspirants. Iky Saddler, hero of the 1920 cham pionship series against Raleigh, and who has been more or less in the background for the past two months, went to Red Proctor's rescue m the fourth inning and quieted an uprising. He blazed forth like the North star. The Diemv hurler ' was master of the situation at all times, allowing the 1 hefty Pierre machine but fbur hits, ! one of which was of the doubtful sort. The little fellow was the old Saddler of bygone days. His speed and curve balls were of such a dazzling combi nation that the clan of Pierre appeared baffled the remainder of the fight. Eddie Frennick, discounting the lucky seventh didn't pitch a bad game in fact the Patriots were pretty calm before the gingery twirler. But the wrecking crew, piloted by Paul Dan nielly, simply massacred him in this fatal encounter. At the opening of the seventh the Patriots were one run behind tneir ad versaries, the score standing 3 to 2- After Saddler had fanned, Dannielly dumped a double into left field, Dan nielly was shoved over to third by Carroll's single to left. Otto Parmalee surprised the locals by sacrificing in stead of hitting straight-away. Dan nielly carried over the tying marker. L. Smith, the Piedmont swat monarch. singled timely into left field. Carroil came home on the blow and when Pete Sessions threw the bell awkwardly to Pierre, Parmalee scored. Jimmy Teague, who had already piled up three hits for himself, drew a pass o first. Big George Moorefield then lobbed a single into center and L. Smith trotted merrily homeward. All Hih Point was at the game, the crowd being estimated at about 4,500. It was a record-breaking audi ence. Two improvised bleachers col lapsed, but luckily no one was seriously injured.

Martin, president of the Southern Association, in a ruling Friday night held that what was termed an x hibition game played here Septem ber 9 last between mixed teams of Memphis and Nashville players and outsiders was not an exhibitian game with the meaning of the play ing rules of the association but "simply a farce or burlesque exhibi tion" and not in violation of U13 league constitution. Mr. Martin, in his decision, which overruled a protest filed by R. J. Spiller, president of the Atlanta club, also held that 'the "pittance of money" received by the Memphis and Nashville players from the "ex hibition" was not in violation of provisions of the league constitution. This ruling definitely establishes the claim of Memphis to the 1921 Southern Association pennant. CHAMP HEAVERS WERE NO PUZZLE Little Rock Bested the Mem phis Flag Winners in a Slugfest.

It will be the old, old story of youth versus age when Johnny Kilbane, featherweight champion of the world, defends his title in the ring at Dunn Field, here this afternoon. Johnny Kilbane, who has made a fortune in the ring, is thirty- two not decrepit old age, as men in other lines iudere it. but for the ring of an old, old man and one who gives evidence of the fact that his best fight has probably been fought. Opposing him, and fighting for the glory and the opportunity for big money that a championship brings, is Danny Frush, of Baltimore, a youth of twenty-two, . who has been climbing the heigths of pugilistic fame in spec tacular fashion and who was so anx ious to make this match that he agreed to fight for $2,500 little more than training expenses while his wary and experienced opponent re ceives $65,000 win," lose or draw. The battle will be fought twelve rounds to a decision. Frush must make 128 pounds ringside, which is four pounds above the weight made by Kilbane when he wrested the title from Abe Attell nine years ago. Sports writers and sports author ities generally say Johnny Kilbane is going back. His fight of a few months ago with Sammy Jacks seemed to bear out this statement; for, while Johnny toyed with is opponent and won easily, all agreed after the bout was over thate the scrap was a made- to-oraer set-up" for the champ. Crit ics, however, point to his fights with Benny Valger, who is said to have outpointed him at Newark last year; and Fran-kie Brown and Andy Chaney are both given credit for out-hitting him, but the margin in each instance was close, and there were many who maintained that he won. In Frush, Kilbane meets a tall rangy lad, with two good hands and a good head and with enough speed to enable him to move fast both offen sively and1 defensively. He has gone TREFRY'S CATCH BEAT SPINNERS Augusta Outfielder Stopped Greenville in Midst of Great Rally. Greenville, S. C, Sept. 17. Trefry made a great running catch of Banks ton's blow in the sixth' inning and stopped a brilliant rally of the locals who lost the game to Augusta by the score of 9 and 8. Wagner was on first at the time and he was doubled, the runner thinking that Bankston's drive would go for extra bases. It was a re markable catch that the visiting gard ener made. The Spinners really lost the game in the third inning when Goodnough, a local semi-professional, dropped an easy fly allowing three runs to score. He was taken out of the game and in stantly released, Pitcher Hehl taking his place. Catcher Agnew, Erskine College st,ar receiver, was behind the bat for the Spinners and gave a good account of himself. He got three hits.

U L iJ 9 through the featherweight division like a cyclone and has victories to his credit over such lads as Andy Chaney, Kil Julian, Artie Root, Johnny Pope, Freddie Jacks, Artie O'Leary, Joe Leonard, Tommy Noble, Eddie Wal lace and Texas Kid. Kilbane however, is extremely con fident of winning. "I'll be champion a long time yet," says Johnny, with his Irish smile, but other champions have been just as confident and have been dethroned. He's a better boxer that is unquestioned but can he last twelve rounds? Danny Frush, the "Limehouse Knight," who hopes to wear the lau rels after September 17, is considered a very workmanlike performer a fel low who knows his job and does it well. He is not - given credit for the speed for which his older opponent was at one time noted. Johnny is a marvel of grace and sprightliness in the ring, but Frush is a different kind of a fighter. He goes straight at his man and stays with him, depending upon his legs only to carry him out of immedi ate danger when the opposing attack waxes hot. He always seems to be ' moving toward his man. He fights in ! the Leonard style. I The referee and two judges will render a decision if the bout goes the limit. The Frush bout today marks Kil bane's return to the ring after a long period of comparative idleness. The show is being promoted by Tommy McGinty and Sammy Deutsch. Kilbane was induced to meet Frush after a long parley with various pro moters. McGinty finally landed the match by outbidding the opposition, and Dunn Field today will house one of the largest fight crowds in the his tory of boxing in Cleveland, if tne ad vance sale is an indication of interest in the bout. Fph Will make 126 pounds for the champion, who will enter the ring at catchweights.
