The Charlotte Hornets were the Tri-State League entrant for the Queen City, and a proud affiliate of the Washington Senators. The Griffiths, the owners of the Senators put a lot of money into the club in Charlotte and their stadium.

Morris originally got a job selling tickets for the team, but when the manager left in order to get a job higher up in the organization, Morris was called upon as an employee which had previously played baseball earlier in his career, until he turned 18.

He took the position as the team manager, and went to spring training with the club in Orlando, Florida. His plan was to do some unconventional things with the Hornets, including focusing on pitching and baserunning, something which isn't usually done in the minors as most clubs follow their parent club's strategy.

Only Chattanooga and Orlando are above the Hornets in the Washington system.
