JOHNSON CLEANS
MORE EVIDENCE

CHICAGO. Ill, July 2s.-President Ban
B. Johnson of the American League. who
has returned from the meeting of the ma
tional commission at Cleveland. reports
new developments in the Griffths case in
dicating an alleged case Of blackmail In the
Southern League. Griffiths and Stallings
are reported having attempted to force the
owner of the team to join them and threat
ened to put him out Of business IL he did
not join them.
These points will be taken up at the next
meeting Of the commission. to be held in
Chicago August 10.
President Johnson, in speaking of the
meeting. said:
IAN interesting case was brought before
the commission in connection with the
Grifiths case. It seems that Griff1ths and
Stallings have been endeavoring to black
mail some of the minor league owners.
1.-THE Atlanta team of the Southern
League was recently bought by Mr.. Joyner
for $4,000. Stallings and GrIffiths imme-
diately went to Joyner and told him that
IL he did not come in with them they would
cause him to lose his best players. They
also intimated that unless he speedily came
In with them his team would be placed In
such a condition that he would lose money
on 1t.
This, if true, is nothing short of IN at
tempt at blackmail, and IL such a condition
exists in the minor leagues 1t is time some
drastic action was taken by the commits
sion. The commission has arranged to
have Mr.. Joyner appear and state his case
at the Chicago meeting. We are unable to
take any definite action on account of the
lack of evidence. If Griffiths and Stallings
are guilty of these charges, the best thing
to do is to railroad them out OF base ball.
In the Griff1ths case we were stopped by
legal technicality, but we will be able to go
ahead with it at the next meeting.
THE foul strike rule was not taken up,
but merely considered in an informal man.
ner. I hope 1t will be taken up soon. We
have great need OF the repeal Of the rule.
Such a rule would benefit one Of the local
teams greatly, but l won't say which
team"

WESTERN YACHTING SEASON
To Reach It's Climax With Tomorrow IS
Lake Regatta.

CHICAGO, July 23-The yachting season
In the west reaches its climax when the
fleet of the Chicago Yacht Club and the
representatives of the Detroit and Cleve-
land yacht clubs cross the line tomorrow
afternoon in the start of the long cruising
races the former at Chicago, the latter at
Port Huron, both bound for Macknac Is
land Four splendid schooners evenly
matched and well representing the types of
craft popular on fresh water; half dozen
powerful cruising yawls and several rae
ing sloops will race in the respective classes
with ten minutes between the classes
The distance is $40 miles. and it was
covered last year In thirty-two hours, run
ming before a southerly gale. Very high
seas were running at the north end of the
lake. and there were many accidents to
spars and rigging. 1t is not thought prob
able that this record will be eQualed this
year, although there are indications OF the
probability of plenty of wind
The only limitation of rig Is the barring
of club topsails. The closest race will prob
ably be between the four schooners Haw-
thorne.' Alice, Uncas and Mistral. Haw-
thorne is the favorite for heavy weather
and Uncas or Alice for light
Much interest is aroused by the determi-
nation of Miss Wright, a flag member of
the club, to race her twenty five-foot sloop
Lady Eileen. Two young women will as
sist her. and there will be no men on board
Prizes will be offered to the winner In
each class, to the first boat in, and to the
ance.
After the race the Chicago and Detroit
yachts will cruise to the north channel and
Georgian bay.

St Patricks was the easiest kind of pick
ing for the st. Stephens Institute at the
White Lot yesterday. When hostilities ceas-
ed the score stood II to 1 in favor Of the
champs.
Both teams were shy Of regular pitchers,
so Johnnie Bean volunteered for the In
stitute, and Earnie Atcheson played the
role of victim for the st. Patrick's. Beall
had speed to incinerate and with good sup
port had the losers entirely at his mercy.
ST. Patrick only run was the result of a
wild throw by Daugherty.
Atcheson had one very bad inning, the
first, when six runs were scored by the
winners. Only two hits were made in that
round, but two passes and one man hit,
with two errors apiece by Bryan and SuHi-
van, did the damage. After that the whole
team steadied down and made some SEM
blance OF a struggle.
The monotony was relieved by number
of pretty fielding plays. Stecker had two
fine running catches in the fifth inning.
Shorty Hughes had one of his good days.
He jumped In the air and caught Rapps
high throw with one hand and got back
to earth in time to touch the runner out.
He also robbed Stecker of hit by knock
ing down his drive to right field with one
hand and getting the ball to first ahead
of the batter. Moriarity backed into the
left field crowd and got drive from Ver-
milian's bat that looked good for three

CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 2S.-The Ma
tionals made it three out of five from the
league leaders yesterday and left for home
in almost gleeful mood as possessed
them when they came to Cleveland in first
place early in May Flushed with their
victories earlier. in the week Stahls men
went into yesterdays game with that easy
confidence that often begets victory. Long
Tom Hughes had won his game with so 1T
tie effort Tuesday that 1t was decided to
send him against the leaderless Maps
again. 1t was good Judgment True the pen
nant aspirants played dppey ball, but this
did not detract from the brilliance of the
tall twirler's work. Bays triple was the
only one of the four hits made off him that
is worthy of mention. Hughes support was
not only faultless, but spectacular. Hueis-
man and Jones made great running catches,
while HILL Cassidy, Hickman and Stahl
made Cleveland's infield look slow. AS on
the other days the Nationals have played
here. their work was In happy contradis
tinction to the indifferent playing of the
Maps, who are In sore need of the pres
ence of the mighty Larry himself to invest
their movements with some suggestion of
life.
The Maps were the first to score With
one out in the first Bay shot swift one
between Jones and Anderson, and sprinted
to third. Flick was passed Kahrs roller
to Cassidy forced Flick and gave Bay an
unobstructed path to the plate. Huelsman
put stop to the proceedings by a superb
catch of Bradeys y. This was the only
time the home players were anywhere near
the plate.
The Nationals moved alongside in the
second. Anderson doubled to left and
scored on two outs at first. The game was
won in the third. Heyden was squeezed
between Kahl and Carr, but Hughes hot
single was followed by Cassdy's slashing
triple to right center. Long Tom scoring.
Htlfs out brought Cassidy home In the
NTH Flick made a school-boy muff of
Hughes fly and by slow work turned Hills
hit into double, Hughes scoring.
Catcher Mig Clark has been loaned to
Detroit and left for Washington with the
Nationals last night.
The work of the Nationals here has set
the wise ones to calculating whether the
Napless ones can finish better than third.
The team is greatly in need of leader
like Larry at this time.

NO PROTECTION
FOR TRI-STATE
PENNSYLVANIA TEAMS WON'T
JOIN NATIONAL AGREEMENT.

HARRISBURG, July 2s-There were but
four clubs represented at the meeting of
the Tri-State League last night. Harrisburg
York, Altoona and Johnstown, and when
it had finished its labors it transpred that
all of the stories of big league protection
that have been sent out from Altoona were
purely hot air. and nothing more. The
Tr-State Is not after protection. doesn't
want it and wouldn't know what to do with
it If got 1t.
President Dreamer presided over the meet
ms, and there were present William C.
Farnsworth. honorary president of the Har-
rlsburg Club and donor of the champion
ship cup. There was very little business
transacted and that of perfunctory char
acter. The question of reducing the num-
Der of umpires from five to four was con-
seered and final decision was postponed I'M
til all of the eight clubs can get together
and decide. The matter of club bonds,
given to guarantee the finish of the season.
was taken up, and it developed that the
league is fully protected.
AS to the matter of league protection
there was not a word said. President Crea-
mer. when asked about this phase OF the
meeting, said that there was nothing in it.
You may say for the Tri-State League"
said President Dreamer, that 1t has no
idea of taking up the question of national
protection at all. The Trl-State is perfect
county court and feels that 1t is on sure
ground. The stories that came out Of AL
toona to the effect that we need protection
are all hot air." and did not emanate
from any authoritative source
Mr.. Bochel of the Altoona Club, from
whom anything authoritative could origi-
nate, has not been in Altoona for ten days,
and the story of national protection is
absolutely unauthorized. There is sno in
tentIon or any thought of the Tri-State
going in for league protection.
AS a matter of fact. no overtures have
been made on either side. and you may
say as strongly as you care that the story
,Df hunting for protection is absolutely base
less. They are perfectly satisfied with the
result of the season SO far and do not see
the wisdom at this time of asking for
league protection. for we do not need it.
Our meeting this evening was only for the
gathering up OF loose odds and ends. And
there was nothing in 1t of general interest.
And, finally. please say that we do not ask
for national protection because we do not
need IT, Another meeting Will be held
next week

New Owner for Chicago Nationals.

CHICAGO, H., July o3.-Word came from
Cincinnati last night that Charles p. Taft,
owner of the Cincinnati Times-Star and
brother of the Secretary of War. is the man
behind Charles w. Murphy in his purchase
of interest III th. Chicago National
League ball club. The story is also vouched
for by Garry Hermann, who told a num-
Der of newspaper men. The same report
gained circulation at the Cleveland base
ball meeting last week, where Garry Herr
mann is said to have told several friends
that Mr. Taft was behind the venture.
The entrance of the Cincinnati man into
local base ball affairs is interpreted to
mean that President Hart Will be out of
the sport after the present season.
