teams work is the fact that it looked
better today than it ever has. The
players seem to be growing more
formidable with every game, and they
refuse to think that the time has
come when their streak must be
broken. They start in Detroit Sunday
on four-game series, facing a team
which is going at good clip, yet they
are confident of winning majority
of the games there.
Griffith virtually has to fight off his
pitchers from wanting to break into
the game. Sunday. for instance. he
may pitch Engle or Musser against
days rest. but this arrangement does
not suit Hughes, and he lost no time
to express himself to that effect He

and he will not make up his mind as
to what he will do until he sees his
twirlers warm up before the game. i.
Howard Shanks pulled play in today's
game which will go down in history as
one of the most unique ever produced.
Think of a left fielder getting put-out at
second base, and then throwing a rum
ner out at the plate. completing a dou-
BILE play. That is what Shanks did in the
fifth inning and it was brilliant work that
made 1t possible.
When Rath was caught off Of third on
Callahan'S tap to johnson, Ainsmith
threw poorly to Foster. the ball going
by him and also passing through Nc
Brides outstretched hands. But Shanks
was backing up the play, and, getting the
ball, he showed a remarkable burst of
speed in chasing Lord, who was on first
when the play was made. but tried to
reach third in the event of Rath being
retired. Shanks easily beat him in the
sprint. touched him as he neared second,
and then. quick as flash, threw to the
plate in time to nail Rath. Chicago fans
actually raved when the play was COM
pleted. and one individual remarked that
a rule should be passed that Shanks be
kept in the outfield. where he was doing
enough damage, and not be allowed to
interfere with any infield plays.
Doc White is going poorly. 1t was vir-
tually the first game the former star
left-hander has been asked to start this
season, and he was far from right,
though he managed to fool lot of bat
tiers with that slow teaser which they
seemed unable to gauge. But while there
were a few bright spots in the game
for him, on the whole he was badly
beaten.

Whites Last Game.
The game was the last contest in
which Sam White. the greatest
athletic hero who ever attended
Princeton. took part at Tigertown. The
occasion was fitting close to the
career of the great foot ball star.
The game itself was bitterly contested.
and had Yale been more consistent In
its fielding a different result might be
told. Despite the fact that it was out
batted by the Tigers, Yale appeared to
have the stronger team. and had 1t not
been Tor that fatal second inning the
dark Blue might have triumphed. All the

CHICAGO, ILL.,. June S.-Sunday base
ball in Washington is a probability OF the
near future. A conference held by Presi-
dent Ban B. Johnson and Manager Crit
fifth at the formers. Office in the Fisher
building this morning resulted in the
head of the league giving his approval of
such a change in the schedule and in
cidentaliy Immediately taking the matter
up with the other officials of the Wash
ington club.
Griffith contends that a majority OF the
people in Washington want Sunday
games. He says that it has been argued
to him by those most interested in the
project that Sunday base ball would be
a blessing in disguise for those inhabi-
tants Of the nations capital who cannot
afford to attend games during the week,
and who have no place to spend their
Sundays.
Sunday ball He pointed out that it re-
quired years to have the barriers raised
against the sport on the SABBATH IN poth
Detroit and Cleveland. but that since IT
has been tried there the clergy of these
two cities sanction the playing of the
games on that day, and that there is
not the slightest objection from any
source.
He Immediately wrote letter 10 RES
ident Moves this afternoon regarding the
subject, and if the club can see its way
to play games at home on Sunday the
schedule will be so arranged at once as
to make this possible during the Ma
tionals' long stay at home.
1t is impossible for any OF the other
seven clubs in the American League to
make any sort Of a deal with minor or
other league clubs which involves pitch
er who has shown something. Gri1ntn
was busy this morning putting in claims
for players. He did not stop with re
fusing to waive on either Cicotte or
Bradley Of Boston, but this morning re-
fused to waive on Knapp of Cleveland or
Petty and Lake of st. Louis, three Twill
ers on whom waivers have been asked.
Griffith is none too sure about his pitch
ing staff, and he would be willing to carry
every one Of these pitchers If he could
get them so that he would feel fortified In
the box. There is no denying that Crit
fifth has hopes of winning the pennant.
He cannot see II his pitchers stand up
how any of the other teams are going to
beat him out. and 1t is useless to attempt
to convince him that there are stronger
teams in the league than his. He even
has his players thinking along those
lines. and the result is that every man is
working tooth. and toe-naii on the bat
tlefield.
1t Is the first time this season that
team in this league has won nine
games without losing one. the White

CINCINNATI, Ohio. June Sin a de-
cision handed down by the national
base ball commission today upon a re-
nuest by the st. Louis Nationals that
an agreement with the Tacoma club
regarding Player Annis be abrOgated,
it was ruled that Annis, who is now
playing with the Missoula club of the
Union Association, report to St Louis
at once. If he is not in condition to
play: the $500 paid for him to Tacoma
by st. Louis must be refunded.
Secretary Farrell Of the National As
-sociation is instructed to require the
Nissoula club to show cause why a fine
should not be imposed for playing a
player without permission Of the club
having title to his services.
The application of Player II. E. Moran,
a student at Washington and Lee Uni
versity, for reinstatement was granted
without the infiiction of a fine. 1t was
shown that Moran did not report to the
Detroit club. owing to his desire To
finish his studies and graduate.

FOOTBALL FIELD

American Football in Porto Rico Is
so strenuous that during the only two
games ever played on the island Il
was necessary to call out the army to
restore peace, declares Jimmy John
son, a former Carlisle Indian football
star and at present practicing den
list in San Juan. Porto Rico.
Johnson. who is graduate Of the
school at Carlisle and Of the UniTer-
sity of Pennsylvania, arrived at Car.
Isle recently after completing tour
OF the United States In his automo-
bile.
AS football expert and former All
American quarterback. Johnson was
keenly interested In the success Of
the game In Porto Rico. Two teams
were formed, one comprising former
United States soldiers, who were
coached by Hooker, once famous cap
tain Of West Point, and the other
team, composed of native Porto RI
cans, mostly graduates Of schools In
this country.
The first game was q big success
and was won by the natives. Il was
in the second contest that the trouble
started. The score was IN favor Of
the foreigners, and the natives
couldn't stand the situation.
"One Of the Porto Ricans drew
knife said Johnson, "and members
of his team did likewise.
"Undaunted by this action. the
Americans stood their ground and a
terrific battle ensued The regular
army had to be called into service.
and it was only after considerable
clubbing that the riot was subdued
This put the damper on football on
the island, and there hasn't been a
game since"
