THE CHARLOTTE HEWS, MARCH 31, 1908 6 HtXT MONDAY CHARLOTTE TEAM BEGINS PRACTICE On next Monday Manager Reynolds will have his pitching staff Reynolds will have his pitching staff :md catchers on the ground lor pre liminary practice, and in just a little cs,s than two weeks, the entire team will have reported for duty. The pitchers and catchers will ar rive next Sunday, and work will begin on Monday. These players are Plott, Finn, Piatt, pitchers; and Metz and Hinton, catchers. AVJiile waiting for the new grounds io become thoroughly packed the old grounds within the tair grounds fence will lie used. The new park, however, will be completed by the 12th. the date of the arrival of the entire team. Manager Reynolds has lost one of his pitchers, or rather, he will release him. This man is Frank Grubbs, of Good Hope. Ohio, who was signed last No vember. Manager Reynolds noticed in i-Vrr.iFs bulletin that one Frank Grubbs had signed with Springfield, Ohio. He at once Wrote to Manager Rensick. of that team, asking if this letter yesterday marning saying that he was. M-i.nager Rensick, when he found that Grr.bhs had already been signed in Charlotte immediately cancelled his font 'act. Manager Reynolds says, Siowever, that he will not take Grubbs nt'ter this attempted "breach, and his contract will be cancelled, and another pitcher secured, which will not be hard to do, as he has already several pitch ers on the waiting list. The uniforms for the Charlotte team will arrive by the 12th, and week after next the fans will be given a chance to sc.- Charlotte's aggregation of pen nant winners on the field. I ispeci tl t Tile News. ' Winston Salem. N. C, March 31. The first division of the aggregation of ball-tossers signed by Manager Carter for the Winston-Salem team will arrive here the hitter part of the week. - ' - : ' j The contingent, will consist of the pitchers and catchers who conic eariy in order to get the "kinks" cut of their arms and to round into shape for business. , The infield and outfield players will arrive about the middle of next week. It is quite likely that a number of exhibition games will be played dur ing the "warming up" period. Manager Carter has signed prac-ti-cany all the players needed and if the men who have attached their sig natures to the Winston-Salem con tract do not give ' sroorl account, of- themselves he will be badly fooled. Most of the men signed have no long pedigrees as far as their base ball career is concerned, but there is every reason to believe some of them will be heard from before many seasons as stars in faster company than the Carolina League. All are men who give good prom ise of "delivering the goods" and one of the hardest problems the man ager will have to face will be the selection of the regular team out of the bunch of good ones that will be tried out. Attell Will Meet Nelson San Francisco, Cal, March 31. A 15-round go between Abe 'Attell and Battling Nelson is the magnet that is expected to attract a large number of fight lovers to Sam L?ergcr's club tonight. Joe Gans was originally slated as -aueu s opponent, but he was unable ! to keen the match and Ratilino- TCr.i son was substituted. Attell and Nelson are looked upon as two of the speediest fighters in the business and are expected to put up as lively a bout as has been seen here in a long time. Nelson will have quite an advant age in weight, but in all other re spects. Attell is considered the equal of the Dane. Nelson must make 132 pounds at G o'clock. Attell will enter the ring weighing about 123 pounds. Deaf Mutes Know How to Play Ball And Rcot Special to The News. : . , . Raleigh, N. C, March 3ii Raleigh fans who witnessed the game of ball Saturday between the deaf mute team "Tar Heels of the State School for the Deaf and Dumb at Morganton, were surprised at the excellence of the game put up by the derf mutes, "rooters" for whom were confined to gesticulation rather than shouts in urging the play ers to their best effort. The score was C to 0 in favor of the A. & M. team, but this does not mean that the "Tar Heels" did not play good ball. William and Mary Game Cancelled. Chapel Hill', N. .C, March 31. The game scheduled here toady with .William and Mary, is cancelled. MANAGER CARTER'S "YOUNG TEAK" rting Dope DAVIDSON DEFEATS 6- Special to The News. Davidson, N. C, March 31. In a fast and exciting game here yesterday af ternoon Davidson defeated Catawba by a score of 6 to 4. Davidson started off in the first in ning scoring one run. There was no ' more scoring done until the fifth in-; ning, when Catawba came to the bat ' and got two singles, batter hit and three errors by Davidson netted them ' four runs. Davidson then pulled together and ! secured a single, a three-bagger by Barr, and an error by Catawba netted three runs, tying the score. In the sixth two hits and a stolen base netted Davidson another run. Davidson secured another run i:i the eighth on two errors and two sacrifice hits The features of the game were the pitching of Clark, who allowed only throe singles and struck out eight men. The batting of Davidson also deserves special mention, considering the fact that Moser, who played with the Phil adelphia Americans. last season, was the opposing twirler. Anderson made a fine catch in left field. With the exception of the fifth inning, Davidson played good ball. Score by innings: R. II. I Davidson 100 031 01 x 6 S j Catawba 000 010 00" !

Nevertheless, the sport of riding the wheel seemed to be pretty dead, the collapse being at its 1 worst in 15)01. In 1904 only two nun- uieu mm miy mousanu mcycies were j manufactured in .this country. Put in 1907 the numbers rose to seven hun dred and fifty thousand, and during the present year no fewer than one million two hundred and fifty thousand new wheels will be turned out in American factories. REVIVAL AN ACCOMPLISHED FACT "These figures, which are official, af ford the best possible proof of the re vival of popular interest in bicycling. Undoubtedly it was the very excess of the craze that did the most dam age. People overdid the amusement and became tired of it. Pnt a great many of them are taking it up again, and thousand of men who have not bestridden a wheel for a half dozen years are buying bicycles. "The bicycle dealers say that such men are dropping in every day to pur chase wheels. One says that he is tir ed of riding on street cars and hold ing on to the strap. Another declares that, he does not feel as well as when he rode a wheel every day. A third has decided that he misses the fun he used to have when a bicycle was always ready to take him anywhere. Besides, walking is a laborious meth od of locomotion, comparatively. THE EVER-USEFUL WHEEL "Put it its also to be considered that the employment of the bicycle as a vehicle of practical utility is great ly increasing.

Special to The News. Spartanburg, S. C. March 31. If ar rangement can be perfected Spartan burg will have a number of exhibi tion games in April with several of the big leagues. If arrangements with the (leaguers tarmot be made, games j with college teams will be had. Mana ger Rues.se will arrive tomorrow and by the first of next week all the play- ers will be on hand and practice will e begun immediately. Manager Buesse nas torwaruou trans portation to all the players whom he has signed. ' Boston, Mass., March 31. After several postponements Jimmy Walsh and ' Al ijelmcnt are finally to face one another in the ring at 'the Ar mory Athletic Club tonight. The articles of agreement call for a 12-round go at catchweights. The two fighters are old-time rivals and are counted upon to put up a fast and interesting contest. Further Wage Reduction. - Lawrence, Mass., March 30. Notice of a re ir.efiev. was uosied ac the Paci- ( fic Mills today, to take effect April j 13. The amount of the reduction . is not stated, hut it is. undot stood that it would average about 10 per cent. About ' 0,000 operatives are affected. Keep on hand and utilize from a dozen to fifty wheels. Thus an electric-lighting concern will have thirty or forty bi cycles, perhaps, on which its men go about to make repairs and to attend ! to various oaas ana euas ot work. Goods arc delivered and advert isments are distributed by wheel. Indeed, the bicycle has here become indispensa ble. "Then, too, the comparative cheap ness cf bicycles at the present time is an important help to the restoration of their popularity. For forty dollars one can buy a more satisfactory wheel today than could be purchased for one hundred dollars when the frenzy was at its height ten years ago." IT MAKES FOR ECONOMV. First and toremost, the bieylo is an economizer, and while that prosiac view may have contributed to its loss of social popularity-ih 'years' gone by, it, surely is a potant factor in the present revival of cycling. It has merely taken a few years for those possessing average incomes to realize and accept, the manifold opportunities that the bicycle presents. The coming of the motorcycle for it surely has arrived has not inter fered in the least with the important place the bicycle has lately assumed. The motorcycle enjoys a field that is all its own. That fact is now well re cognized. The only question is as the size of the field, and on this even the niost enthusiastic are unable to ; agree. That it is much larger, than the 1 -optimistic .now believe, is only a con servative guess at the future. SPARTANBURG PLAYERS TO 8R RIVE HEXT WEEK V JIIILSH i.
