Harris, Sporting Editor. j& RED BIRDS Ei THE SEISM HIE Nearly one thousand enthusiastic Jans and what they carried with them saw the windup of the baseball season in Raleigh yester day, when neither Raleigh nor Char lotte could pull off a victory after eleven innings or hard, exciting play ing. The game was a fitting end to the season, as it showed the true fighting spirit of the Red Birds. With a lead of three runs before them they went to work with aj vim truly, characteristic of their manager, and before the smoke of the skirmish had lifted from the firing lines they had overhauled this lead and had a few chances to win out. Fullenwider mounded for the lo cals, and despite his one bad inning, he pitched a great game. In the first round a pass, two errors and two hits, which allowed three runs, put him in a bad way, but the plucky Union county youth stuck to his post of duty, and not until the tenth round sdid they manage to force another man around the circuit. This last tally was the result o fa raw, reversed decision at the plate. , After Umpire Mackay had declared the runner out several Hornets gathered around him, offering strenuous protests, and Mac kay probably fearing their "stings" in Charlotte, reversed his decision, declaring the runner safe. That his decision was received with ill favor was evidenced by the fact that the bleachers and the grandstand as one man began to hurl epithets, insinua- tions and other things at the revers ing arbitrator. With this big three staring them in the face, the Crozierites plugged along inning after inning, sometimes having a chance to run a man across and again not even getting In speak ing distance of the first sacker. It was very plain, however, that Mr. Bauswine had no fears for the Red Birds. They stepped into his speed 'Hrumfield, s. s. . and lambasted it with all their might, ; Irwin, c. . but each time there was a fielder In l-'ullenwider, p. the way. Fred Hoover, the mighty 1'ope, p Bwatstick king, found a place in the. "Rowe fifth inning where there were no field ers, and in this place he drove the sphere with a thousand pounds ct steam behind it (more or less.) He, connected with one of Mr. Bauswine's I speedy shoots, sending it to the centre field embankment for two bags, scor ing Crozier and Hart. This hefty drive put a bright aspect on the game and the fans began to sit up and take notice . Tie the score. Red Birds, was yelled with one accord by the entire crowd. This continual clamor on the part of the spectators evidently had its effect on the big-hearted Bauswine, as in the eighth inning he walked three runners and then booted Ir win's slow grounder, allowing Haas to score. But this was the extent of bis kind benevolence. With the bases tenanted and only one out, the Hor net heaver gave us the rigid glance by fanning Fullenwider and forcing Hart to pop up to Lave Cross. The Hornets broke the tie in the tenth on a reversed decision, as above mentioned, and the Red Birds tied it up again in their half of the tenth. Business was brief in the eleventh, there being absolutely nothing doing. The shades of evening at this Junc ture began to fall with such rapidity that at the end of the eleventh Um pire Mackay announced the termina tion of the contest, on account of darkness., Rowe was sent in to bat tor Fullenwider in the tenth, this ac tion necessitating a change of twirl ers. Bud Pope was on deck, and, ot course, the Hornets went without the coveted run. How the Scoring Was Done, Charlotte, first inning Linneborn succumbs to the air treatment; Gar roan joins' the walker family; Ham bacher lifts a sky-scraper to right field, the bjjfi bouncing under the lit tle fence and only lightning-like field ing on the part of Fred Hoover held Garmon on third; Lave Cross nails a nasty grounder through short, scor ing Garman and Hambacher;. Hum-' pnrey grounas to j. nouver, wno makes a wild heave to Haas, allowing Cross to go to third, and Humphrey steals second; Irwin tries the short throw to second, but the throw is bad .and Cross rambles home; Irving and Dobbard fan in quick succession, making the third death by this ter rible plague in the first inning. Raleigh, fifth Inning Fullenwider hits three line drives to Warner; Hart gets a life on a slow infield hit and goes to second on a bad throw to first; Crosier Is awarded a free tour to the initial 'sack region; Fred Hoover smashes the spaulding to the embankment in centre field, scoring both.

The events that had been arranged for yesterday, together with the large crowd of more than two thousand fans .-ho had gathered to witness the closing events, formed a fitting close to a successful eason, and while the Champs were Ihglorlously defeated at the hands' of the Sailors in the closing contest, the fans had the satisfaction cf realizing that the locals had cap tured four of the seven events in the t'eld day exercises and, tieing one, thereby showing their supremacy over the Eastern in these Interesting ath letic events. The flelrt dav events had been ad vertised to 'begin at three o'clock and long before that time the crowd began to fill the grandstand and bleacherles. When Umpire Watts announced the the first event the crowd had grown to r.bout 1500. There was much enthusiasm and the rooting for different favorites was intense. The different events were open to the members of the two cir cuity but there were no entries from any" but Wilmington and Greensboro teams. All of the different events were open to the members of the two teams, and there was no lack of competitors in any of the six t'losely contested all of which were , and interesting to the spectators.

'I lie popular man ager was given an ovation by the lig crowd as he accepted the gift and bow. ed his acknowledgment. The watch is a handsome one, solid gold, open face. On the back of the case is the follow Ine inscription is engraved: 'Presented by citizens of Greensboro, N. C, 1909. With these two interesting events 0 concluded the two teams engaged in a 0 short practice prior to the beginning 0 of the last of the championship games to be played on the local grounds. i The big crowd began to grow impa tient for the fray and many cries of play ball" were hurled at the two ' managers. As a result the practice was cut short and the teams lined up for the final clash a. 1:45. The game itseif was the most unin terestlng Seature of the afternoon's . proceedings, the Sailors, taking the l.j, . 1 . !' , A kaanlnff lead in the opening round and keeping it up through the entire game, tne Phamps even being treated to a coat of whitewash. The visitors successive ly made the circuit with the agility not shown in the previous exercises, and as a result of their efforts a total of eight rum' were piled up. Hammerslcy started out to do the slab stunt for the locals, while Sexton was selected to take the final game from the Champs. In this selection Manager Gualtney showed good judg ment, for the former college star held the Champs safe at all times, allowing them six well scattered hits and never getting himself in a tight place. , On jth other hand the Sailors pounded Hammer.' lev and Kid ridge, who suc ceeded him in the third, for a total of sixteen hits and these, with live costly errors chnrged to the Champs, were responsible for the big score. Besides pitching brillianliy. Sexton re ceived perfect support from his team mates, while the locals played listlessly from the start and never semed to get enthused with the game. Besides the pitching of Sexton the work of Smith and Brennen with the stick was the feature of the game. The former secured four hits out of five times up. while the latter connected safely three times out of the same number of times at the bat. Sharp and Kite put up the fastest game in t h. field. Or tne lOcaiS ?MSSOIl ami besides playing first style, led nis team with hits in batting out two bingles. During the entire contest not a Pa triot reached third and Sexton never allowed more than one bit In an inning. Score : Greensboro AT?. P..H. O. A. K.

DotiDie RED BIRDS BANQUETED Most Enjoyable Occasion at Giersch's Cafe Players, Directors and Writers (intli - ered Together Last Night and Ate and Talked New League and New Ball Field for Next Seuson. From 8 to 10 o'clock last, even ing the large private dinins room of the Giersch Cafe was the scene of one of (he most enjoyable occasions of the entire baseball season. The occasion was a sumptuous banquet, the real Giersch kind, tendered the Red Birds by the directors of the club. Gathered together at this farewell meeting were the players, the direct ors of the club, the sporting editors of The Evening Times and the News and Observer, and Mr. A. .1. Watts, of Ceeilton, Md., the Hoovers' friend. It is safe to say that never before has a more congenial bunch been gather ed together in a Raleigh banquet hall. " The banquet was given the Red Birds in order to express to them, as best, it could be expressed, the heartfelt appreciation of their efforts to land the flag this season, and' despite their failure to do this, the directors and all Raleigh was proud of them and sincerely hoped to see each and every one of them back in a Red Bird uniform next year. The banquet itself was up to the usual high standard of the Giersch ban quets, and that, is a "nttf ced." Mr. R. D. Godwin, president of the club, acted as toastmaster with ease and grace that would entitle him to membership in the Gridiron Club. Mr. Godwin's remarks were straight from the heart and they caused a pang of sorrow to think t.iat the sea son is al an end and the happy bund of hull lossei's are to scatter to their homes. During the course of his re marks, Mr. Godwin made it known that Raleigh, who excelled every team in this league in attendance, would next year he in better company, i. e. that is in a league composed of larger towns, towns that can support a team as well as Raleigh. Then baseball would not be a failure, but on the otberhand would be a paying propo sition This announcement brought forth a continuous round of applause from players and all alike. Mr. .1. Burwell Pearce was there with a few remarks, closing with the cheering statement that he had gone deep, down into his pockets to give Raleigh baseball, but that he will gladly do it again for such a set of clever gentlemen. j Manager Dick Crozier spoke on the feeling between a manager and the team and expressed to the members of the team his grateful appreciation of the handsome silver service pre sented to him on Monday. Dick said that while the value of the handsome present was worth a good deal, he ap preciated more the spirit in which the "fellows" gave it to him. He complimented the directors and the . officials of the club, saying that he had never worked for a finer set of gentlemen, and then brought his re- marks to a fitting close with-, this , statement: "Boys, I have played ball some little bit, but it has not j been my fortune to have ever been as- j soclated with such gentlemen." Reddy Rowe was the spokesman i lor the team. "The team," said Red- dy, "had nothing but good feeling to wards their manager and that they wisiied him unparalleled success." ltowe spoke of the fact that Crozier had taken a tail-end team and brought it up to third place, and that with the present material he would be sure to give everybody a run for their money next season. The same manager, said Rowe can do much bet- ter with the team than a new man. 1 Nearly all of the players responded with a few words of appreciation of the treatment accorded them in Ral eigh and all expressed the desire to return to Raleigh next season. I Director Russel G. Sherrill sa d ' that he had seen all the games this season except two or three, and he only missed those because he was out of town. He said that he had seen the National Leaguers play this sea son, and that he was confident they did not play as well as our Red Birds. : Director J. C. Ellington told the players that next year they would not only play in a new league, but l would have a new park of their own. Mr. Charles T. McDonald, sporting ; editor of the News and Observer, con gratulated the team and its mana ger, and said that while sometimes unpleasant things were said they were said with no unkind intention. The sporting editor of The Even ing Times told the fellows how much real pleasure he got out of his work through their good playing. The burden of the work this season, he said, was unlike the task of 1908, in the fact that this season it was a case of telling the fans how it was done, while last year it was a case of excuse after excuse. Mr. Albert Watts, who journeyed all the way to Raleigh from Ceeilton, Md just to see the Hoover boys play ball, spoke very complimentary ' of Raleigh. He said that he could not blame the Hoover boys for playing ball in such a good town. Manager Crozier then brought the speech-making to a close with a few j words of praise for the newspaper ( support ;The newspaper can make or, break a baseball team, sair our man-' ager, and the Raleigh pnpers have made the Red Birds. , "The Glorious Harvest Days Are Here" Throughout the barley growing belt of the great northwest the farmer is now gathering the golden grain.
