The most popular exercises for bus
iness men at the popular gymnasium
of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion is volley ball. It is a game that
once learned is never forgotten. A
game that when played tor a few
games becomes a fascination. It was
introduced to the Charlotte players
about two years ago ar the end 6f a
basket ball season when the game of
basket ball appeared to be a too stren
uous exercise. At first it was popular
with a few of the business man but
now it has entirely supplanted the
rougher game of basket ball. For thej
past two winters the business menj
have not played the game of basket
ball at all and have given their entire;
attention to the volley ball game. Or-1
casionally in basket ball one secures!
an unpleasmi nib against a fellow;
player bar in voiley ball the idea is
cover a large section of Ui
a few players. The game
with a light weight inflated
S inches in diameter and
with a tennis tier between
gam" ran I);1 played by from two on a
side to as many as eight on a side.
In tlu now gymnasium three nets can
be placed end to end from one end
of the large gymnasium to another
and thren games may be kept going
at the saint; time.
The local enthusiasts include many
lawyers, two of our representatives
in the legislature, whole sale dry
goods men, hardware merchants,
architects, insurance men and many
other lines of business and profes
sions. The lawyers are decidedly in
the lead in the matter of numbers.
The best players are three, an in
surance man., a banker, and a rep
resentative. The enthusiasts meet
every Monday. Wednesday and Fri
day evenings at r: 45 o'clock. This
game which calls for a keen eye,
'quick decisions, and instantaneous
action and is free from so many ob
jections is destined to have a long!
life full of interest for many local!
business and professional men. A I

by a shower bath ant a quick rub:

confident that the better the composition
ot tnese medicines is known the more
will their great curative merits be recog
nized.. Being wh6Hyinade ofThe activw
medicinal principles extracted -from na
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with Dr. Pierce, and without the
use of a drop of alcohol, triple-refined and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit - forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers the same as sworn to by
Dr. Pierce, and you will find that his
"Golden Medical Discovery," the great,
blood-purifier, stomach tonic and bowel
regulator the medicine which, while not
recommended to cure consumption in its
advanced stages (no medicine will do that)
yet does cure all those catarrhal condi
tions of head and throat, weak stomach,
torpid liver and bronchial troubles, weak
lungs and hang-on-coughs, which, if neg
lected or badly treated lead up to and
finally terminate in consumption.
Take the "Golden Medical Discovery
in time and it is not likely to disappoint
you if only you give it a tlioroiuih and
fair trial. Don't expect miracles. It
won't do supernatural things. You must
exercise your patience and persevere in its
use for a reasonable length of time to get
its full benefits. The ingredients of which
Dr. Pierce's medicines are composed have
the unqualified endorsement of scores of
medical leaders better than anv amount
of lay, or non-professional, testimonials.
They are not given awav to be experi
mented with but are, sold bv all dealers in
medicines at reasonable prices.

Spartanburg 's
Team Arriving
Special to The News.
Spartanburg, S. C. April 4. That
Spartanburg will have one of the best
learns in the Carolina league and that
she will put up a stiff tight for the
pennant may bo seen by some of her
fast (layers that Manager Buesse has
been so fortunate to secure.
Many oi the players have arrived
and the remainder of them are ex
pected ibis afternoon.
To hold down the initial corner, Ben
bow, of Greensboro, has been secured
and there will not be a better in the
league.
Dexter, of Cincinnati, O., will be
on second base and his o.uick eye and
strong arm will be invaluable to the
team.
In Lanham, formerly with Florence
and Darlington, Manager Ruesse has
put an addition to the team that can
hardly be equalled, he being a first
class twirler, and having few equals
on first base ami in the out field.
"Legs" Martin will play short and.
of course, keep his former unimpeach
able record. Martin graduates from
Wofford litis year where he has coach
ed the college team. Green of Phila
delphia, will also be here to show
what, he can do at short.
Spartanburg will have one of the
best pitching corps in the league, all
of whom have good records behind
them: O'Mara, Jerry Armstrong-, Se
gers, Sheppard, llayman, Thaekman.
If Sut on fails to make good with
Atlanta this year, Spartanburg will
add him to their staff.
The other players are Goodlett, out
fielder and utility catcher, from Jack
sonville, Alabama; Pearce, outfielder,
from the same point: Blanton. out
fielder, from West Point, Ga.. also
landed in the city ready for Hie fray.
These are new men to Spartanburg,
but not new men 1o (he game, as each
of them has a record sustained for sev
eral years for being hard hitters and
fast fielders. These men are all col
lege graduates, and clean, gentleman
ly ball players who will give Spar
tanburg their best efforts.
In addition to the players named
above, several more have accepted
Spartanburg's terms, and may be sent
for if needed. Justice, outfielder, is
held in reserve until called for and
Hogue, one of the fastest outfielders
that ever broke into South Carolina
baseball circles, will report in June,
being held in Texas by important per
sonal business matters until that time.
Dent, pitcher, of Baltimore; Knapp,
catcher and outfielder of Cincinnati;
Kahlbeinl, inficlder of Baltimore; Bar
ber, catcher of Commerce, Ga.; Wood,
outfielder, of Alabama; and Jones and
Prince, pitchers, of South Carolina, are
held in reserve.
