FUNSTON OFFENDS CITIZENS.
Refuses TO Parade Troops In san Fran
cisco, Fearing Sneers.

san Francisco. June 22-In reply to an
invitation requesting the participation of
the United States troops in the Fourth Of
July parade. Gen. Frederick Funston sent
a communication that has caused much
discussion among the members Of the
committee having in charge the coming
celebration.
While the members refuse TO give out
the letter for publication at this time It
is stated that one sentence used is re-
sponsible for the discussion. 1t appears
that, after thanking the committee for
the kind invitation extended 10 the
troops. Gen. Funston said he was loath
to parade his men in the streets of San
Francisco, 70 be, as he is quoted,
"sneeged at and jeered at by an Un-
whipped mob"
After considerable discussion it was
decided to appoint a special committee
10 consider the matter and decide

KILLS THE SQUEEZE PLAY.
George Davis FINDS Wny To stop the
Yankees Favorite stunt.

New York. June 22.-Ge0rge Davis, The
veteran shortstop Of the Chicago White
Sox. showed local fans a way TO block
the squeeze play when the Sox were here
It was one OF the nerviest moves that has
been made by an inhelder I'm this city In

entitled TO an overflow Of credit for Il.

would try the squeeze PLAY. Therefore
he moved UP In Walsh's lee and anchored
about ten feet Off the starboard quarter

keep Conroy close 20 the base. There was
only one thing TO fear and that was a
chop hit that would go over the heads OF
the infielders. However, a hit Of that
kind would be equally dangerous with the
infelders playing back, for 1t would be
almost impossible 10 get COnroy at the
plate 1t was dangerous 10 try the
squeeze with this deplOylng Of forces, and
Griffith was checkmated if he had move

Kleinow hit hard. The ball bounded tc
one side Of Walsh and higher than HIS
head. But Davis had placed himself just
right to get il. If he had not been play
ing where he was II was almost certain
that Kleinow would have got a safe hit
over second or close TO it.
As the bail dropped in the arch that il
was making in the air Davis grabbed Il
cleverly and threw 10 the plate ten feet

waited for him to come In. He was an
easy out. of course, and the Highlanders

DISCIPLINE FOR WHITE SOX
Fielder Jones Issues Orders for the
World Beaters.
Every Member of Team Must be in
His Bunk by ;3O-Tigers
worry Manager.

Boston, June Z2.-StriCt training rules
have been issued 10 the White Stockings
by Manager Fielder Jones The leader
of the worlds champions announced on
the bench AT the local park that every
member Of the team would have to be in
bed by 11:9o o'clock every night hereaf-
ter until the championship flag was again
within easy reaching distance Of the Chi
cago team
The new order was not the result Of
any abuse on the part Of any players, but
Manager Jones believes that better re-
suits will be obtained If the men get
their proper rest. The trip here from
New York Monday night kept the men
up until after midnight and none Of the
men was able to get enough sleep to per
form well in the opening game.
Three straight defeats for the cham
pions aroused Manager Jones to take Sc
we're measures to break up the hoodoo,
and his move brought a victory Only
few games separate the first three
teams in the race, and the way the
Tigers are closing in on the two
leaders is causing much more alarm In
the White Sox camp than the presence Of
the Maps at their door. Some Of the Sox
are quite willing that one or the other
team should have the lead for a time
now as the SOX have been out in front
all spring and the strain of making the
pace is telling on the men. With the
Maps or the Tigers a game or two ahead
the Sox viii have less to worry them and
their chances would be much better 10
get together in their old-time form, for
they always play keener baseball when
they have TO head some one off. il is
said.
Three straight defeats for the Chicago
White Stockings and as many for CIeve-
land has saved the lead in the American
Baseball Leagues peRnaut race for the
worlds champions. but Detroit has been
winning while these two clubs were being
hammered, and now Jennings Tigers are
within striking distance of the world
beaters themselves. Only three full
games separate Detroit from Chicago
at present
Comiskey's men have been more than
lucky in retaining the lead as long as
they have. That Cleveland would meet
with the reverses handed It on this trip
was never suspected. Had Lajoie's men
won one victory out Of the three straight
defeats the Maps would have been right
on top Of the SOx. with a margin Of only
about five points in favor Of the worlds :
champions. As Il is, however. the White
SoN can still lose one game, while both
Cleveland and Detroit are winning, and
still retain the premiership. though the
hold on first place would be by a danger
ously close margin.
