JOHNSON FAILS
ON LEFT HANDERS
IDAHO TWIRLER CAN'T PHASE
SoUTHPAW STICKERS
In Contest at Washington, Idaho, the
Phenom Falls Down When 1t
Comes to Odd Ones-Notes
of the Game

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-If Walter
Johnson has a weakness 1t is his inability
to be effective and have control when he
faces left-handed batsmen. There were
few left-handers up in Idaho, where Wal
ter twirled until he came here. and he
has not yet mastered the art of pitching
to the fellows who stand In the left bat
ters' box In both the games he has
pitched here he has had all his troubles
with the left-handers. OF the four passes
he issued yesterday all of them were to
left-handed batters He had no trouble
getting the ball over the right-handers,
but it was perceptible that the left-hand-
ers worried him.
With experience Johnson will overcome
this falling and he will be just as effective
against left-handers, because the quick
break on his fast ball is sure TO fool the
southpaw batters
When the fact is taken into considera
ton that Johnson is a green hand in fast
company his two performances show him
to be most remarkable pitcher. His con-
troll was not as good yesterday as 1t was
on the occasion of his debut here, and
vet had Mill not muffed Hinchman's fly
he would have retired the side in this
inning without allowing man to reach
first.
johnson handled himself like a veteran
perience should develop into one of the
greatest pitching finds of recent years.
The wonderful length of his arms gives
him great speed, and the fact that he is
but 10 years old means that he is not yet
developed. There should be a big diff
ference in johnson next spring.
Manager Cantillon last night shipped
Oscar Graham to Louisville, where he Will
join the Minneapolis team.
The purchasing of Oberlin gave the
locals more pitchers than they need, and
as Graham has not been pitching consis-
tent ball it was decided to send him to
the minors.
Elmer Flick, the leading batsman of the
American league, barring Otis Clymer,
who has been in but a comparatively few
games, fell a victim to Johnson's delivery
twice during the afternoon, when he
famed. 1t is not often that Flick strikes
out
Lajoie got hit the first time up, but
after he failed to get the sphere In safe
territory, though he did send one sharp
grounder at Altizer. Twice Johnson had
two strikes on the great Larry, and the
crowds cup of joy would have been filled
to overfowing had the kid been able to
strike the big fellow out.

MORNING STAR TO
BE RACED AGAIN
CRACK RACER WILL ENTER IN
CLOSING EVENT
Sonon1a Girls Break Causes Comment
Among Horsemen, but Judges
Verdict VIII in All Prob
ability Stand

CLEVELAND. Aug 13.-After an abb
sence of two seasons from the racing
game, the pony PAGER Morning Star,
2:04 3-4, will be entered In the closing
events of the grand circuit this year,
where it is expected that he will make
a very good showing in the 2:05 class.
Morning Star was used in the matinees
by c. X. G. Billings and A. N. Brady in
1905 and 1906 and so far this season by
E. S. Burke, Jr., his present owner. After
the intercity matinee which starts on
September g. the fleet-footed son of Star
Pointer, 1:59 Ia will be raced at Colum-
bus and later at Lexington. At present
Morning Star appears to be as clever as
ever and is thought to have a good
chance of winning.
Morning Star is in doc" Tanners
stable and is being tuned up to concert
pitch by Docs" magic skill. When the
grand circuit trail is taken up it is ex-
pected that the pony will be turned over
to George Starr to drive, as Tanner
will not drive in any races. Just how
fast Morning Star will be able to travel
by the first of September is not known,
but it is safe to say that he will be ready
to make some of the wigglers reel off
three miles around 2:05 to beat him.
Concerning the protest filed by George
LOOmtS, driver OIL watson, the lrOtler
that won the first heat of the 81 900 EN-
pire State race at Buffalo a week ago to-
day, it is the opinion of H. K. Devereaux
that the action of the judges will prob
ably hold After Sonoma Girl had made
her break and ran away the judges placed
the mare on the basis that 1t was an un-
avoidable accident and in that case they
were perfectly right, but the question
that has arisen is: WAS it an unavoid-
able accdent?'
The mix-up occurred on the first turn,
which is quite a distance from the
judges stand. The dust was flying so
that it was rather hard to see clearly
and for person to say positively
whether Sonoma Girl ran into the fence
and threw j. D. Springer out of the
sulky before De Ryder, who was follow
ing very closely, ran into ner. He should
have been down at the turn The ac-
cident occurred so quickly that it is
doubtful If there is anyone who can
truthfully say that they know Sonoma
Girl ran into the fence and threw Spring
er out of the sulky before De Ryder hit
her, but Springer and De Ryder.
When the case comes up before the
board next winter the evidence given by
Charles De Ryder will probably have a
good deal of bearing on the case, as he
was in a position to see everything dis
tincty and 1T will be his side of the
case that will have the most bearing.

JAKE HOFFMAN WlELDS
BARRIER AT EMPIRE NOW
EX.AScoT STARTER EXPECTS TO
GET ALONG WELL
No Changes Are Anticipated Before
the End of Meet at Buffers
Track, and Purses Are
of Value

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Jake Hoffman,
starter for the Empire City meeting, ex-
poets to have his hands full at this meet
ing from the fact that, in his opinion, the
fields will be large, says the New YORK
Telegraph He said yesterday:
There will undoubtedly continue to be
big fields at Empire, but, then, the track
is very wide and there will be plenty Oh
room for them. L have no particular sys-
tenn of starting horses, although 1t mas
been my custom to try to send them on
as they came to me, providing the ma
iority of them are in motion and fairly
we'll aligned.
There will be no change in the start
ing system, so far as 1 know, from that
which racegoers in the east have been
used to at the other tracks, 1 believe the
Aat-footed system, while not exactly
rule of the Jockey club, still is favored
and this will be in use at Empire City
till the end of the meeting. In starting
l have always tried to study the boys
thoroughly, and am inclined to give them
every chance to make good. so long as
they are honestly trying and are on the
level with me.
'I listen to the boys when think they
have an idea that will help to get the
horses away, but l never let them pre-
sunne upon this and make the starts them
selves The same barrier that has been in
use on eastern tracks is in use at Empire
City. think it is very good one The
same rules as to schooling horses and bad
actors will be enforced"
There will be many points of difference
between the meeting at Empire City and
the meeting that was held there in Octo-
ber, 1900 First of all, and this may be a
bit surprising to many, the purses are
double those that were offered at this
1900 meeting Then nearly every purse
was $500. and the handicaps and features
events were $1,000, with an occasional $1,000.
Since then the turf has prospered so
that the purses on all tracks have been
raised, until it is an exception to see any
race of less than $1,000 added. At that
meeting nearly all the best horses in the
east raced during the two weeks session.
The great race mare Imp, the popular
"coal black lady of the turf at that
time, was an attraction, and incidentally
was beaten at a mile and a quarter by
Charentus in the fast time of 2:04. Ban
| astar also was brought back to win race
after something like a two years let up.

addition to this, a section provides
that ''the weapon carried conceal

MILLER TO RIDE FOR KEENE.
The Wonderful Little Jockey Has a
New Assignment.

New York Jan. 22.-Walter Miller,
the champion jockey, will be kept busy
in the east this year riding the horses
of the rich Newcastle stable and James
r. Keene. Several days ago Mr.. Keene
had a talk with Andrew Miller, the
Jockey club steward. who has first call
on the Jockeys services, with the result
terms were agreed upon by which lit
tie Miller will be under second call to
the powerful Keene stable. That is to
say, he will ride for Mr.. Keene when
ever the Newcastle stable does not re-
quire his services.
Jockey Miller, with these two con-
tracts to rely upon. will draw down
nearly $4,000 in retaining fees alone.
AS he will be in general demand when
his regular employers do not need him.
it is estimated he will earn more than
$4,000 more picked up in California this
year.
The Newcastle stable is trained by
Thomas Welsh, who is Jockey Miller's
manager in the east, and will have
formidable string, including many high
class 2-year-olds, while Mr.. Keene will
be represented by what looks to be the
most powerful stable in a number of
years In addition to a promising lot
of 3-year-olds Keene believes the crop
of 2-year-olds will prove better than
trainer of the Keene stable, predicted
some time ago that 2-year-olds would
come near carrying Off the bulk of the
rich plums. Jockey Miller, therefore,
will have plenty of work with high class
horses, incidentally affording to the
racing public many excellent chances
to profit by speculation.

ample winter moisture so far give the
farmers great confidence that Sheris
dan county will this year raise her
banner crops.
Prices for farm lands are lower in
Sheridan than in the surrounding
counties. The land here is just as
good. This is perhaps due to the fact
that the Union Pacific is only branch
line, and the Rock Island only
touches one corner of Sheridan coun-
ty. The railroad service is poor; the
land is all right.
Ex-Sherin H. L. Korb says his 800
acres of wheat is first class. Every
farmer or heat raiser one meets says
the same As Mr.. Korb.
Sheridan county is going to own a
poor farm if for no other reason than
to do away with the township officers
issuing orders for supplies. Hereto
fore the poor have been here, there
and everywhere. The commissioners
expect to expend upwards of $4,000
for a poor farm and buildings.

ruary. 1t will no doubt be an impor-
tant term from the fact the Keleher
case from Graham county will bo
tried here. Speaking about this case
