HORNETS STING ROCK HILL IN EXCELLENT GAME The Hornets lir. on Rock Hill again yesterday afternoon, and again the score was three to one. But the game was snappier, livelier, and more en joyable than Monday's. The weather was certainly ideal for the contest, and the crowd was much larger. The real business of the ?rame op ened for the Hornets in the second inning, although there was no imme diate result. After Metz had flied cut to left. Phil Hinton sent a slashing single to centre field. Sneddon ad vanced Jesse Reynolds who was run ning for Hinton to second by a neat sacrifice; and Bateman drove such a hot one to James that, it war, fumbled. Reynolds, however, attempted to take two bases on the play, and was caught at the plate. The third netted two runs for the Queen City's pets. Brennan drew four wide ones and Wiley Piatt brought the unanimous grandstand to its feet by a beautiful three-bagger to the left field fence. After Newton had gone out on a fly . to second, and Lewis had PQISOI? Eons Pains, Can $L cer, Scaly SHs, gSQf We Will Send Sample Showing How B. B. B.

Hinton opened the fourth by taking first on O'Neal's fumble, and Snedden sacrificed him to second prettily, whence he reached third on a wild pitch. Bateman's long fly to right looked good to score him, but Prim caught the big catcher by a magnifi cent throw to the plate. Brennan took first on third's error in the fifth, second on Piatt's sacrifice, and scored on Newton's single. Lewis picked a good one and drove it towards the fence in left with the evident in tention of duplicating Piatt's achieve ment. But between him and the fulfil ment of that intention intervened a i youth by the name of Blanton. The Rock Hill left fielder started for the ball and captured it in one hand in the prettiest play yet made in the new park. Newton was at third when the ! catch was made, and an easy double resulted. The whole grandstand rose j pnd stave Blanton hearty and long-con tinued applause. Reynolds tock the slab in the sixth, and for awhile it looked like the visi tors were going to run away with the game riiht sudden. Blanton died, Hin tcn to Met?. bi:t Gunter secured a clean single, and Bateman dropped James' difficult fly. A moment later things became serious when Swink's scratch single to short-left filled the bases. But the Hornets were on to their job; Snedden gobbled up Brown's drive, tossed the ball to Hinton, which forced Gunter, whence there was still time to catch Brown at first, putting an end to the aony. Incidentally Char lotte had nulled out of a rather tight hole. Two men were down in the ninth be fore the visiters succeeded in crossing the plate. Brown drove the ball through Sneddon, arid O'Neal turned precisely vhe same trick, with this addition, that. Lewis, in left field, let the latter's drive so through him, too. Lewis' error was doubtless made out of gen erous sympathy for the auburn-haired lad on third; but Brown didn't stand on chivalry, and galloped home with the -one nm of his side. Metz rang down the curtain by taking a foul fly from Hainan, who batted for Goheen. The features of the day were Blan ton's magnificent catch and Wiley Pi att's mighty swat The score: ROCK HILL- AB R H PO A E Blanton, J.t ...4 0 0 3 1 Gunter, lb 4 0 1 C 1 0 0 James, s.s 3 0 0 0 2 2 Swink, c 4 0 1 4 0 0 Brown, 3b 4 1 1 0 2 1 O'Neal, 2b 4 0 1 6 0 1 Goheen, c.f 3 0 0 2 0 0 Haman l 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 2 0 Prim, r.f Sawyer, p. 3 0 0 0 0 Totals 33 1 4 24 11 4 Haman batted for Goheen in the ninth.

The baseball fans of Charlotte, on tomorrow afternon al the new base ball park, will, for the first lime since the spring of li04, see regular pro fessional ball on the local grounds, and the crowds which are expected to witness this game will be the largest that has ever witnesses a game in this city. The season of the Carolina League opens with Charlotte playing Spartan burg here; Winston at Greensboro; Anuerson at Greenville. Mayor to Throw First Ball. There will be no formal ceremonies at the opening the season here ex cept that upon invitation of president of the league, Mr. J. H. Wearn, Mayor T. S. Franklin, who is an old player will pitch the first ball across the plate for Charlotte, and if the mayor has his old time cunning, and it is intimated that he has been prac ticing back of the Liddell foundry of evenings, the player who faces him will swipe the air.

The game will be called at 4 o'clock, and Mr. McNamara will act as umpire. Groves will umpire at Greensboro and McLaughen at Green ville. "You are going to the opening game tomorrow an dsee Charlotte do 'em up?" "Sure, you bet!" One can hear these remarks, or something like them on every corner today. Old men and young men are both aflame with enthusiasm, and it is likely that not a corporals guard will be left in the city tomorrow when McNamara says: "Play ball!" and Mayor Franklin gets that old lime swing and nods his shining pate in the warm April sun to the catcher for p stomal for a "spitter" or perhaps an "inshoot," that will make the South Carolinian who faces him think that he is "up against it."
