Local Option Ticket la Mecklenburg.

for placing an independent . legisla

. elude a prominent local option plank.
Dissatisfaction on account ; of the
enforcement of the prohibition laws
' in -Charlotte is said to be tbo basis
for tjie local option idea. t

TUESDAY'S GAME.
la a Fait Aad Fariotn Game, the
Ciaeoi Defeated High Point, 9
to L
In a fast and brilliant came the
Cineoa defeated High Point by a
score of 2 to 1. Meadows did the
twirling for the Cineoa, while Fes
permaa officiated ia that capacity
for the visitors. Both pitched great
ball aa is their custom. Meadows,
however, outclassing Fesperman, al
lowing only two hits and striking
out sixteen men. Fesperman did not
get -his curves to breaking until af
ter the fourth inning.
The" Adding of both teams was ex
cellent, only one error being counted
against each side. The runs for the
Cineoa were brought over in the
fourth, when West singled and was
sacrificed to second by Johnson. Win
ston singled and stole second. Pat
terson scored West and Winston
with a single.
In tie eighth Meadowa'fumblde a
bunt put down by Jones, who went
to second on a passed ball, to third
on a wild pitch and was sacriAed in
by Honeycutt.
The work of Angier in center,
Brock well on second and Edwards on
first, starred for High Point, while
that of Ooocb, West and Johnston
for the Cincos. Winston and Honey
en tt, each deserve credit in their
ra telling. Moose and Patterson led
in batting, each getting tw,o hits out
of three times at the bat. Roberts
and Fesperman each hit a two-bag
ger.
Mr. Brandon officiated at the game
both Monday and yesterday. Some
how or other the fans did not kick
against any of his decisions yester
day. If some of thuge persisted kick
ers would undertake to do what the
umpire has to do, they" would not last
two minutes. If-they would look into
an umpire's decision with a reason
able amount of common sense and
justice they would find that he is
right nine times out of ten. The line
