to let their guest cop at least one
game before ninety-seven sleepy and
yawning fans. No, sir. Wallace just
copred Conroy's bounce. hurled to

Clarke and 10. a double play had been
consummated at the expense of the
gentlemen from the banks of the Po-

Some Far Better Work.
But when the Browns went in to
work they did something far better
Milan failed to play properly for La
porte and his resounding rap to right
center counted two sacks. Elberfeld
tried hard to take Hogans little
and Laporte was astride the third
cushion. mig" Clarke hoisted a long
one to Milan and Francois voyaged
over the disc and far away.
The crowd was interviewed by your
reporter. and asked for an opinion
of the Nationals as a team. The reply
was "Who won?"
If the fans hadn't been sleeping so
soundly. they would have witnessed
Shottor's fine running catch of
Hughes fly up against the center field
fence, Austin's swell catch of Nc
Brides foul in left, McBride's beau
fifth which got Austin at second, and
Herman SChaefer's sterling work
around that first corner. But the
crowd was sleepy and also thirsty.
That's why he went into that Quench-

Boost for washingtonian.

l am glad to reprint the following
from Jack Carroll, the sporting author
ity of the Baltimore News relative to
the impression that is being made by
Washingtonian upon whom l have often
commented:
John Paul Jones, the heetest footed
mortal on earth today. winner of the
intercollegiate 1911, mile championship
and creator of a new worlds record
for that stunt, judging from the nice
things that are being said about him,
is an ideal amateur sportsman. He
has repeatedly failed to avail himself
Of expense money offered by pro-
noting organizations and 1t is certain a
commendable thing in the cinder path
greyhound. He is not willing to tar
nish the great name he has made for
himself by jeopardizing his amateur
status. for he realizes that he is a
mighty valuable man for Cornell in fu-
ture track affairs. He has a good head
on those sun-tanned shoulders and 1t is
to be hoped that he will not have that
section of his anatomy enlarged the
slightest by these offers and in a mo-
ment Of unguarded vigilance accept
the terms Of these promoting sharks,
who look out for their own interests
Good boy, John, stick to your resolu-
ton.

Sporting Gossip
"Epery Knock Is a Boost"
Hats Oft to President Lynch.

LIotS " EESSluCuL Lynch.
The day following the assault of Sher-
wood Magee on Umpire Finneran at the
grounds Of the Philadelphia National
League club went on record as favor
ing the most severe penalty that It
would be possible to infiict on the
player. The personalities OF those In
volved in the dispute had nothing to do
with the affair. but the protection of
clean baseball demanded that an exam
pie be set for those who might have the
same inclinations.
Therefore, l am pleased to note the
action of President Tom Lynch in bar
ring Magee from all organized baseball
for the remainder Of the season.
From Philadelphia come reports that
President Fogsl Is indignant and Is de-
termined to go after Lynch's scalp. II
this Is true it is simply an official an
nouncement by those in charge Of the
Phillies that they believe in disorderly
conduct on the diamond.
From what know Of Tom Lynch, he
is not likely to back UP one inch from
the position he has taken in the matter,
which means that an example has not
only been set for others who might be
inclined the same way as Magee, but
that the Phillles are to go through the
Test of the campaign without the ser
vices of the most valuable man on the
roster.
As much as the Philadelphia incident
is to be regretted it looks like the result
will be a big thing for sportsmanship
in the National League.

ST LOUIS, Mo-, July Z.-When
Jimmy McAleer stopped OF at Roch-
ester and took a liking to the work of
Ward Miller, star outfielder Of the
Eastern League. he inquired of Manager
E. J. McCafferty how much he wanted
for the former Red.
McCafferty looked at Jeemes for a
second or two, gazed of toward the
e Genesee river, and then said quickly:
Eight thousand
'Dollars?" shrieked Jeemes, who
q would have perished from heart failure,

speed into his reply.

and any club that gets him must pay
that much for him. You know we
minor leaguers can't run our clubs on
g shoestrng, and what We read in the
papers about ourselves
Manager MCAleer did not purchase
Ward Miller for those eight thousand
cold bones. He came away from Roch-
ester and had to go to home TO Youngs-
town, Ohio. before recovering SUI
nclently to rejoin the Nationals at
Cleveland. However, he has got over
MS illness fairly well by now, and can
murmur at the cool nerve of a man
named McCafferty.
The Way They Act.
That one experience with a minor
League manager is a fair indication of
what the Nationals boss is humping
against every time he moves.
Good players cost lot Of money. and
no club wants the other kind. Mike
