Metz Swatted A Home Run The Hornets Win hrom Wake forest in a Pretty Game Score 2 to 0 Several Grandstand Plays, Yesterday's game the Hornets and the Wake Forest college team, was a pretty exhmibition of ball playing as indicated by the score, two to noth ing. The visitors played a good game, making only two errors, both in the sixth, while only one badly handled ball was accerdited to the Hornets. The players on both teams played with snap and vigor and the game was finished in exactly one hour and thir ty minutes after the call of the umpire to "play ball." Several grandstand, or spectacular plays, were mude, b'ut not until the sixth inning did the Hornets manage to send a man all the way around. It happened this way: Snedden allowed four bad ones to go by and for his good judgment was given free ticket down to first. Newton went out sec ond to first but Snedden somehow vpnpJip.l sprnnd.

The new Colorado Baseball League is to be made up of Denver (two teams), Trinidad and Colorado Springs. The veteran manager Frank Selee will own one of the Denver teams. Billy Lush has decided to join the Nashville team in the Southern League. Lush hoped that a deal could be fixed up whereby he could play in New Haven, but Nashville said there was nothing doing. Its a mistake to call Grape Nuts simply a "breakfast food." It is more. All the nourish ing elements of wheat and bar ley, so prepared as to be promptly absorbed by the sys tem for rebuilding braii and nerve cells, and for storing up energy the capacity to think and act that's Grape-Nuts.

Marvelous Reproduction of Ocean Bat tle cf Monitor and Merrimac. The thrilling sea encounter, be tween the Monitor and the Virginia, originally and more generally known as the Merrimac. which took place in 18G2 off Hampton Roads, will be re produced in every detail at the Acad ray of Music tonight and Thursday afternoon and at night. This naval engagement between the two iron-clad monsters of the ocean, each represent ing the best type of the sea forces of the Union and Confederate armies, was one of the decisive battles of the world and aside from marking an epoch in the war between . the states and in Virginia, was the beginning of an era., which revolutionized naval warfare throughout every civilized country. . ' The reproduction hi the famous battle is a perfection -of skill, ingenu ity and modern scientific discoveries along the line of electrical, mechani cal and scenic effects, which have been the marvel of everyone, who has witnessed - the s alCraetiOB. "The -re-, production was gotten up after thous-j ands of dollars of expense and was'i the most liberally . patronized "an(i j most highly praised attraction on I the Warpath at the Jamestown Expo tion. It is not a moving picture per formance, but a grand and extrava gant scenic production, so realistic, that the spectators imagine that they are living in an age nearly fifty years ago and are standing on the banks off Hampton Roads. The sinking of the Cumberland and , the subsequent burning of the federal battleship, the Congress, events which preceded the memorable fight, are clearly depicted amid the flashes of lightning, the din of the big guns, and the raging storm,! which was then in progress. Every movement of the opposing! fleet is shown upon the stage, whiles an experienced lecturer explains themj in detail. This remarkable perrorm ance should be seen by every wo man, man and child in Charlotte. It is entertaining and exciting as well as educational and instructive. School children especially should attend and bv so doing they will have impressed upon their minds stirring events in Confederate history, far more per-j manentlv and forcibly than by thej study of any text book.
