FISHER AFTER JOB =.

Indianapolis, May pitcher Johnny Fisher

ball team are at loggerheads.: Fisher has been
suspended indefinitely without pay, and he is
now negotiating withS magnates of the Penn
sylvania outlaw league with the purpose In
view of accepting berth in that organiza ton.
Manager Watkins says he suspended Fisher be-
cause the player refused to practice and get in
condition to give the club his best services.

warranted and without cause. Additionally,
Watkins has refused Fisher the Of Washing
ton park for practice work, altho to enforce his
order it was necessary to call policeman to
escort the player from the grounds: Fisher
says Watkins must either release him outright
or put him on the payroll. He tntimates that
he will take his case Into court or before the
national commission unless he receives what he
regards fair ttreatmentsd Fisher expectslto hear
from the outlaw magpatesf without delay, ,fy%.y
-, Watkins says he viii trade, Fisher to any clun
in the association desiring his services. Fisher
makes the assertion that he would have no
trouble in signing with one of the other clubs
If placed in position to do so. This, he says,
he cannot do as long as he is on the suspension
list sindefnitely. Manager w atkins expressed the
opinion that Fisher will7@not again play ball

NOTRE DAME TOO
/. FAST FOR GOPHERs
Minnesota Slows Down and thu
Hoosiers Pile Up a Heavy
Score.

Brenna, the crack university pitcher, was not
up 80 standard yesterday, and, with ragged
playing by the gophers, the Catholics from Notre
Dame succeeded in shutting out Spike Apder-
sons proteges, accommodating nine runs In the
process. For the first six innings neither team
scored, and the game promised to be the best
ever seen on Northrop field, but Notre Dame
started things in the seventh, and when the
carnage had ceased the players from South
Bend had comfortable lead of three runs. =
After this catastrophe the Minnesota players
played listlessly, and in the eighth the Catholics
added four runs to their total, bringing their
showing to nine In the ninth inning. Eleven
hits were made of Brenna, but had it not been
for the gopher infelders, who all succeeded in
juggling the ball. the score would not have
assumed such bountiful proportions.
The first six innings of the game were de-
cidedly interesting for the college rooters, who
defed the lowering clouds and wet bleacher-
seats, confidently expecting that the winning
streak of the gopher team would be continued.
Almost every inning developed interesting base
ball. and both teams pulled out of some re-
markedly tight holes. Perez, the Notre Dame
twirler, and Brenna seemed to be dividing the
honors during this period. and up TO the seY-
enth inning only four hits had been recorded
by the scorekeeper. -- 2
In the seventh, with two men out and one
man On second Brenna passed Bonnam- Nc
Inery, the next man up, knocked long fly to
left field which Linehan nisjudged and 1uggled,
both Notre Dame base runners crossing the plate
and McInery going to third Farabugh then
drove the sphere over Pidgeon's head. and, altho
the former East high player recovered the ball
quickly, the lengthy fielder reached the third
station and scored on Murray's single. Muir
ray was forced at second by Stopper.
The procession started was hard to stop,
and the Catholics scored their four other runs
by timely hitting and assisted by errors Of the
gophers. -.--
THE game yesterday developed the fact that
the gopher team needs bracing in or two par
sticulars. Grangaard. the catcher, is "a nervy
player and a good backstop. but he has been
unable to get his arm into shape. and once on
first base it has been easy for the runners TO
steal second. At first base. too. the gophers
seem weak. Bergh, who played yesterday, Is a
strong hitter and an outfelder of good ability
but he is trife slow for first base and Is
new at the position. 49,
This afternoon at 3:45 the Notre Dame and
Minnesota teams came together for their sec
ond game. Brown pitched for the gephers,
while O'Gorman, said to be the best man on
the Notre Dame pitching staff, twirled for the
atholics.
