Charlotte team yesterday.
The double-header came Raleighs way,
not because of luck, but because of ball
playing.
The Hornets were outclassed and out
played. Besides this they put up poor
specimen of ball playing. which did not
deserve to win
Their pitchers did not receive the proper
support from their team, and as consa-
quence they were soon "up in the air"
and at the mercy of the heavy hitters of
the League Leaders.
Stanley twirled for Raleigh in the first
game, won by score of ten to six. In the
second Smith was at the slab and his
game came Raleigh's way by score o.
eleven against two.
The work of Raleigh's ball players in
both games was marked by snappy, ging-
cry playing and the speedy, heavy work of
the Red Birds was enjoyed by nearly n
thousand interested spectators. The
blcachers and grand stand had first
of-the season" crowd, applauding and
cheering the many pretty plays made.

scoring in the first fifth, seventh and
ninth innings. One run was landed in the
inst and Raleigh did the same. in it's

runs in their half of the inning

one notch, but Raleigh pounded out four
runs to the good In the ninth Charlotte
