OF both players. With an accuracy that
was amazing. the pair drove shot after

turned with almost, If not quite. equal
accuracy. 1t was expected that Johnston
would score a comparatively easy VIC
tory. but the veteran was at his best and
held his own in plucky style during the
first set. At times he outmaneuvered his
youthful opponent, but in the end the re-
sourcefulness of Johnston told and after
the games were called ten all he re-
doubled his efforts. and the fast pace
was apparent In Watsons drives, which
were losing their speed and accuracy.

O'L0UGHL|N CHARGED
WITH ABUSIVE TALK
Manager StovaII Says Umpire
Called Pitcher Mitchell
an Ugly Name.

NEW YORK, August 13.-Roy Mitchell
pitcher of the st. Louis Browns. was pre-
vented from assaultins Umpire Silk
O'Loughlin at the Polo Grounds yester-
day He was about to strike the chief
judge just after the fifth inning had been
finished, when Manager Stovall. Mana ger
Chance and Catcher Sweeney pushed the
belligerent player away.
The trouble took the spectators by sur
prise. Mitchell, it appears, said some
thing to O'Loughlin as he came off the
field after Maisel had retired his side with
a fly to Austin. O'Loughlin took off his
mask and pointing a finger at Mitchell,
motioned him to the bench. Mitchell stood
his ground until the chief umpire said
something more. when fight seemed
imminent Then O'Loughlin. backing
away from Mitchell. who was struggling
to get at him. ordered the pitcher off the
field. Stovall argued against this ruling
in vain, and for time it looked as If
he would be elected. too.
After the game Stovall sent a telegram
to President Ban Johnson preferring seri-
Gus charges against the umpire. Stovall
said:
For some reason there has been trou-
BILE between Mitchell and O'Loughlin all
season. Mitchell is not a chronic kicker
and is a quiet, we'll behaved fellow. AS he
came in from the box yesterday he SAID
to. O Ioughlin:
You missed couple of strikes on
Maisel.'
81 did it on purpose replied OLough-
lin just to get chance to put you out Of
the game You're yellow cur
Naturally Mitchell became angry and
he told OLoughlin that he was tired of
being called yellow and that he had half
mind to punch the umpire then and
there. ! heard O'Loughlin insult Mitchell
and so did several of my players, and
intend to furnish President Johnson with
affidavits to this effect"
O'Loughlin laughed when he heard that
Stovall had lodged charges against him.
II didn't say to Mitchell that had pur
posely miscalled a couple Of balls" said
the umpire when asked for his side of the
story. land 1 didn't call him yellow
cur. That's all / will say now
Mitchell is husky young man, who is
said to be hot tempered and is able to use
his fists when he thinks it is necessary.
O'Loughlin is considerably smaller and
has no ring record. He wired a report Of
the row to President Johnson last night
and Mitchell probably will be suspended.
as Johnson usually backs up his umpires
to the limit.

All the games scheduled in the post
season series for today are likely to be
called of. 1t is not probable that any
OF the contests will take place, because
OF the poor condition of the fields, even
though the weather is such that the
play could go on unhindered.
The fact that the series has been in
terrupted yesterday and today, causing
the postponed games in each section, will
PROBABLY mean that the schedule will be
drawn out clear till the time for the be-
ginning Of the intercity games. With
TWO games in each section postponed al
ready. and the possibility of others, it
VIII be mighty fortunate If the series is
concluded within anything like the sched-
uled time. Especially will this be true
when it is considered that there is the
possibility of tie games having to be
played over.
While some of the players showed up
Tor the games scheduled yesterday, con-
ditions were poor for the games and they
We're not played. Petworth appeared for
its game with Trinity at the Central
League grounds. but the contest did not
take place. Trinity did not put in its
appearance. for one thing, then the field
was not in shape for a ball game If it
had Emmanuel and Ninth were both at
the Northwest Sunday School League
grounds for the contest in their section.
While the greater part of the field was
all right to play on, the diamond around
the home plate was in wretched shape;
also the stands and backstop were down.
President Young of the amateur COM
mission reported yesterday that the game
between Interior and the Bankers Satur-
day would be played at American League
Park. 1t was the idea in playing there,
according to Mr.. Young. to have a place
that would accommodate the big crowd
which is expected to be present. Mr..
Young gave it as his opinion that the
largest crowd that has watched an anna
teur contest this season would be present
to see the play. and it was his desire to
give the fans the best place possible.
The Bankers are scheduled to play the
Trinity club tomorrow, which will not be
easy on Trinity in view of the fact that
it must play Interior today. Trinity will
probably put the best it has against the
Departmental League champions. which
may leave it in a hole tomorrow for pitch
ing material.

there are few better performers than
Walters. and In every department of play
he is one to be watched very closely by
the opposition.

Bankers last Saturday he walked four
times and got hit on his other trip to

One thing that is going to favor the
Bankers is that Riddle has begun to hit

in previous seasons. His work with the

means that the Bank team will be much

said In this connection also that Rid

ball around first base than he was at

throws much better. is fielding more &C.
curately. and is making perfect plays on
throws that are made to the left of the

YOUTH TR|UMPHS IN
HARD TENNIS MATCH
Johnston of California, Al
though Hard Pressed, Wins
at Southampton.

SOUTHAMPTON, n. Y, August 49,
For the first time since his appearance
in the east. William NJ. Johnston, the
California schpolboy tennis champion.
was put to a real test yesterday, and al
though he won two matches in the Mead
ow Club invitation mems tennis tourna-
ment he was compelled to extend himself
in three of the sets.
Leonard Beekman, the young Bronx
player. surprised the western crack by
winning the first set of their match and
forcing Johnston to 1O-s in the second
set, while Chief Watson, jr., a veteran.
put up a magnificent contest against the
young schoolboy and succumbed only
when nature asserted itself and youth
triumphed. The first set went to 1910
before Johnston won. The second set
was a walk-over for the Californian, the
score being 81.
The contest between Johnston and
Beekman was the first in the third round
and the last of the day. The pair played
at the far end of the grounds almost un-
noticed until it was announced that young
Beekman had won the first set. The
gallery was quickly formed and as
the second set progressed it was seen
that Johnston was in danger OF losing
his laurels. Beekman had several chances
to win out, but always failed at the critl-
cal stage Of the match. He tired quickly
from the persistent attack of his oppo-
nent and proved an easy victim in the
third set, which was Won by Johnston
by the score of 6-1. The loss of the first
set to Beekman was the only second
Johnston has lost since his first appear
ance in the east.
The Californian's first real try-out came
with his match with Watson. and the
contest was the feature of the after

upper hand.
