amateur billiard championship of
France. The American contestants
will be Calvin Demarest and C F Conk

New York, and Edward V. Gardner,

The tournament will mark a depar
ture in amateur championship con
tests in this country, in that the games

than the American standard. Both of
these were agreed up as concessions
to the French player.

Walter Marks, 5 South B. Street,
Charlotte, X. C, says: "I willingly
vouch for the efficiency of Doan's Pills
and advise anyone afflicted with kid
ney trouble to use them. Several
months ago I was suddenly attacked
by pain across 'the small of my back.
At times they were in the form of
sharp shooting twinges and then again
they changed to a dull steady ache.
When I sat in one position for any
length of time, I became so lame and
sore that I could hardly arise and
I could hardly go about. Finally pro
curing a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
at It. II. Jordan & Go's drug store,
I used them and was cured. I have
had no return of the trouble since and

Some Comments on
Yesterdays Game
Metb was right there with the goods
on nrst, accepting rweive um ti sim-
teen chances. Keep it up,
old bo;
Goheen, the boy with the emerald
pants, who occupied the middle gar
den for the visitors, robbed Bateman
of a pretty single in the fourth and as
sisted O'Xeal in a double play that put
an end to the scoring in the eighth.
He must wear those trousers for a
bluff.
Manager Gunter was right there
with the stic':. He lammed out a beau
tiful single to center the first time up,
drove another through short field the
second time up, and drew a baso on
balls the next time. Lewis gathered
him in on his last effort. But .6G7 is
sure batting them some.
Plott replaced Mickey Finn in the
seventh and the visitors were unable
to find him safely. Looks like Jess cer
tainly has a tip-top herd of slab ar
tists. Charlotte's infield played clean, fast
ball, of the so:t the fans like to see.
Metz's error was excusable, and other
wise the Hornets had a clean col
umn. Foley, besides leading the list with
the stick (being the nulv Hornet to
connect safely) robbed Prim cf two
bates in the seventh: as there was a
man on first when he nailed this drive,
it probably saved the game.
Phil Hinton received several rounds
of applawse from the grandstand, and
showed that he appreciated it by play
ing a perfect game of ball under the
guns. It is a cmch that this lad will
place many victories in the Hornet's
column this summer.
Jess was not in the batting list yes
terday, but he was "a-shepherdin' the
rear" from the first base coaching line,
encuragincr, directing, and keeping an
eagle eye on the general run of events.
Jess lias the head on him al right, all
right!
REPUBLICANS
Parkersburg, W. Va., April 28 Re
publicans of West. Virginia are to meet
in state convention tomorrow to se
lect, their delegates to the national
convention. Whether the convention
will '-end an instructed delegation is
not definitely decided. The Taft peo
ple are insisting that this be done,
and their strength indicates that they
may have their way. West Virginia,
however, has instructed rarely, and
the men who are opposed to the ad
ministration and Taft will make every
effort to block instructions. But wheth
er they succeed or fail, it is regarded
as extremely doubtful if any other can
didate than Taft will have West Vir
ginia support. The state committee
has already endorsed the secretary of
war for the oresidenrv and nmrtimllv
all of the avowed candidates for the
office of delegates-at-large have ex
pressed their preference for Taft.
HMughes. Fairbanks, Cannon and
Knox, however, are not without their
supporters among the republicans of
West Virginia. Senator Knox has some
strength in the section of the state
known as the Panhandle, which abuts
on Pennsylvania. The anti-corporation
sentiment in West Virginia is de
cidedly strong, and Governor Hughes,
because of his work in the insurance
investigation, has a good many admir
ers here. The Fairbanks sentiment
flourished for a brief while, but almost
totally disappeared when Senator
Scott, who was supposed to be a Fair
banks man, openly stated that he be
lieved Taft to be the favorite candi
date among West Virginians. The Can
non strength is more or less of an un
known quantity. Several of the mem
bers of the West Virginia delegation
in congress are supposed to favor the
speaker, who also has some admirers
among the business element of the
state. But West Virginia's proximity
to Ohio and the fact that the great
majority of the party leaders have de
clared in favor of Taft are expected to
carry the day for the secretary of war.
Plan Ovation for Taft.
New York, April 28. The new Taft
organization in this city has arranged
to turn out in great array at Carne
gie Hall tonight, when Secretary Taft
delivers an address under the auspi
ces of the Civic Forum. The Secre
tary is to speak on "The Influence of
America on Popular Government of

NONETS 11 IN
FIST GAME FROM
ROCK HILL TEAM
Charlotte and Rock Hill meet for the
last of their series on the diamond this
afternoon at 4 o'clock, and both teams
are out for blood. If the visitors can
carry off the game it will split the
series even: if the Hornets win, it will
give them the series by the decisive
score of three to one. Wiley Piatt and
Reynolds will pitch for the home team,
while Sawyer will officiate for the vis
itors. Reynolds has released Corrigan, Da
vis and Harry Piatt to Chester, and
the lads leave for their new home this
afternoon.
The line-ups for this evening have
been announced as follows:
Rock Hill: Blanton left field; Gun
ter, first base; James, short-stop;
Swink, catcher; Brown, third base;
O'Xeal, second base; Goheen, center
field; Vasbinder, right field, and Saw
yer, pitcher.
Charlotte: Newton, short-stop; Lew
is, left field; Foley, right field; Metz,
first base; Hinton, catcher; Sneddon,
third base; Bateman, center field:
Brennan, second base', and Reynolds
and Piatt, pitchers.
The Hornets stung that Rock Hill
bunch to the tune cf three to one yes
terday afternoon, in what was a typi
cal pitchers' battle, Crouch officiating
for the South Carolinians and Finn
and PIctt for the home teamfl. The
visitors managed to get three hits,
Manager Gunter securing two cf these,
while Foley's lovely drive to right in
the eighth was the only thing of its
kind that Reynolds' men could do.
Bateman opened the second for
Charlotte by planting a ball about ten
feet from the plate, which Haman hurl
ed clear into right field in his attempt
to catch the runner at first, the sandy
haired pitcher taking third on the play.
Brennan, the next man up, w-as hit by
a pitched ball and promptly stole sec
ond. Bateman scored cn Hinton's fly
to center, and Brennan chased home
a moment later when James fumbled
Finn's drive. Xewton went out to short,
and Lewis ended the inning by fan
ning. In Rock Hill's half of the fourth,
Guntry and James singled in succes
sion, the former scoring on Hainan's
sacrifice. The Palmetto hopes soared
high, but sank again when James was
caught at the plate and Haman was
forced at second. This score of their
manager's was destined to be lone
some. In the. eighth Lewis was safe on
O'Neal's fumble, stole second and scor
ed on Foley's drive toright. Nothing
else in the scoring line was done by
either side.
Spectacular catches by Goheen and
Foley were the fielding features of
their respective sides. Umpire Grove
gave general satisfaction in this his
first appearance with the indicator on
a Charlotte diamond.

TEAMS-TD MEET
A meting of the managers of the
several teams and the directors of
the Carolina Baseball League was held
last night in the Selwyn. The meeting
was called to order by President J. H.
Wearn, and those present were:
Messrs. L. J. Brandt, of Greensboro;
S. P. Jones, of Spartanburg; E. D.
Hines. of Anderson; W. M. Henderson,
of Winston.
After a lengthy discussion, it was de- j
cided to make a new schedule, as the
one adopted in Spartanburg some time i
ago did not prove satisfactory to all the
teams. The opening games, however,
will remain as fifirst fixed, and the re
arranged scheduled wil be announced
in a few days.
THE SUMMER FASHIONS
Grace Margaret Gould, the dress ex
pert, says in the Woman's Home Com
panion for May:
"There are two distinct types of
dress this summer, both emphasizing
the straight up-and-down effect. One
is the tailored coat suit showing in
many instances a cutaway coat, which
gives the hipless effect, and a skirt
comparatively narrow at the bottom
that is, it is made without the sudden
flare that the tailored skirt used to
have.
"The other type of dress is the
cut-in-one gown, and great will, be its
favor throughout the summer. In the
form of the new princess juniper this J
cut-in-one dress is a most practical
gown to own. It can fasten in the
front quite as easily as the back, and
it is a model equally good for silk or
linen.
"This style dress is always cut out
at the neck, and is generally sleeve
less, to show the guimpe, or trimmed
just sufficiently over the shoulders to
give a modified large armholc effect.
Or it may be made, as a number of the
imported models are, so that it has
much the effect of a polonaise cut
out at the neck, but having a sleeve
which is cut in cr o with the bodice.
"New, of course, there are many
variations of these two basic ideas in
dress, but whatever the fashionable
model this summer, it is sure to be
simple in design, lacking entirely any
exaggeration in form.
"Perhaps this idea is better shown
in the sleeve than anywhere else,
which has diminished in a pronounced
way in size within the past six months,
and now in- most cases follows very
closely the outline cf the arm."
GERMAN WIRELESS RATES.
Transmission of Messages From and
to Ships at Sea.
Consul Wilbur T. Graccy, of Tsing
tau, transmits the following informa
tion regarding wireless telegraph in
stallations which have recently been
placed on the ships, of. the , Hamburg-;
Amerika line running between Shang
hai, Tsingtau, and Tientsin in China:
Sea telegrams are those which are
exchanged between shins at sea and
the stations situated on land. They
must, when forwarded via wireless
stations, be either in plain words, or
in code terms contained in commer
cial cable codes.. If intended for
ships at sea., the address must con
tain, in addition to its iAisual contents,
the name or official number of the
ship and its nationality.
Rates from Tsingtau to ships at
sea or vice versa, are 5 cents Mexi
can (approximately 2 1-2 cents in
gold) per word, with a minimum
charge of ten words. For messages
from ships at sea to other places or
countries the rates of the German
postoffice as published are applica
ble. In addition to this word rate a
fixed sumptuary sea rate of 40 cents
per message will be added. Total
charges on messages sent to ships are
payable by the sender, of messages
received from shins by recipient.
Telegrams sent to ships at sea are,
like all other telegrams, sent through
the German post and telegraph office
and messages from ships at sea are
delivered to recipients in the same
way. A wireless station is situated
at Tsingtau, and instruments have
been installed on the "Admiral von
Tirpitz" and the "Staatsekretar Krae
tke," both of the Hamburg-Amerika
line.
It takes an expert sometimes to dis
tinguish between enthusiasm and gush.
