KICKS BALI.
TOMORGAN'SHANDS
By SENATOR. :

George Mcbride, dandy captain of the
Climbers, produced a new wrinkle IN
baseball yesterday when he. came
through with a kicking assist IN the
eighth. getting Bobby veach at second
and ending an inning when a run SEEM
ed certain to go over for the Junga-
leers. It is more than probable that
not for years will a player kick bat
ted ball to a fellow-player in time to
get a runner coming into base.
Sam Crawford was on third and
VeAch on first. with two down, in the
eighth. johnson had just breezed Del
Gamer, and was working the corners
on Red Mckee, the sorrel-topped
backstop. Suddenly the catcher swung
on one TO his liking. and slammed it to-
ward Mcbride, but over toward second
base a bit Mcbride dashed in for it,
and as he tried to grasp the bounce 1t
hoped from his hand.
With the crack of the bat Veach
had darted for second and Crawford
for the plate. Morgan had hoped over
upon the base ahead of Veach- A gasp
went up from the fans when McBride' s
tumble was noted, but this quickly
changed into applause when 1t was seen
that the dandy captain had kicked the
gan, being on the base, had retired
Veach and Crawford had failed to
score.
Yes, il was accidental. true, but this
particular style of accident will hardly
ever be seen here again. McBride's
kicking assist will go down in the rec
ords as one Of the freaks Of the game

GREAT FUTURE Is
: SEEN FOR ACOSTA
By SENATOR"

Merito Acosta, of Marinao, Cuba was
the happiest boy in the world yesterday
when ordered 20 replace his fellow coun-
trymen, Jacinto Calvo. at first base.
Here he was, miles from home, a lad of
seventeen, playing in the big league be-
fore the biggest crowd ne ever say, and
before the President Of the United
States, too, and he probably was. the
coolest person in all that vast throng.
The boys coolness was remarkable and
made an instantaneous hit with the fans.
Acosta showed a flash of his future
greatness several times, signs Of what
he will do when he attains his fun
strength. One cannot expect seven
teen-year-old boy, who attended school
only last year. to have the might OF a
man. and IL was not remarkable that ne
failed to hit the ball out of the infeld.
PINT IL was in the field that his clean
handling of hard-hit balls indicated in
some degree just what he will do some
day He moved around the garden ike
a veteran, seiZing several hard bounces
and getting them over to Mcbride in
time 10 hold the runner. His poor peg
was excusabIe, the ball hugging the
ground instead of bounding high into
AinsmitA's glove. II did no damage,
though II worried the tan6 considerably.
The little chap, smiling with all the
careless abandon of Cobb or Jack
son. stood at the plate as if he knew
what 10 do He was waiting for a free
pass in the fourth when called out on
strikes. and he complained al the last
strike. In the sixth he led OF. and
Dauss found him a hard customer. He
waited and got his free ticket. The
last time up he barely sent the ball to
Bush forcing Morgan, but he had shown
enough TO warrant the prediction that
some day BaIdomerO Acosta. of Ma
rfnao, Cuba, will be numbered among

Ty Cobb found Walter johnson too
much for him at the plate, and so, tc
square matters. turned in the greatest
running catch of the game in the third
cheating the Big Scythe of a certain
single. johnson led on the hftters In
that session, and sent up a little ~
just out OF Bauman's reach and APP
paEentiy too far in for Cobb to gel
under. But that's Just where the
Georgia Peach fooled everybody.
Sighting the ball up over the roof
OF the stand. Cobb set all speed ahead
He was fairly flying in toward the
diamond He shouted to Bauman tt
get out OF the way and, with a clear
held In front of him. continued on
Just as the ball was about to faE
safely; giving the monarch of the
hands seized 1t. 1t was caught Sc
great was Cobb's momentum that he
was into the infield before he coulo
check himself. 1t was a mastery pIay
by master Of the game.
That Chick Gandil does not mean ta
lose any time in catching up with the
slugging leaders of the league, was
shown by his clouting yesterday. He
banged a double to the scoreboard In
right center, and a nasty single to
left, having no preference for direc-
tion. His figures were 500 for this
day, not bad for "a little fellow.
Only Crawford and Bauman seemed
able to do anything with Johnson's
fast shoots. Dauss. who had shown
himself an excellent hitter on othel
occasions, was helpless. The same wal
equally true of Del Gamer, Red Nc
Kee, and Donie Bush, while the
mighty Cobb went hitless.

TENSE GAME WON
BY KING JOHNSON
Takes His Sixth Anniversary Game From Detroit Tigers Before
Audience Composed Of "Prince and Pauper"-Re
ceived Handsome GIFT From Fans.
By SENATOR .

Before the largest crowd that ever at
tended ball game in the Capital. in
Guiding the President of the United
States, statesmen, business men, those
from every walk of fife, men, women.
and children, Walter johnson observed
bis sixth anniversary as big Lacquer
yesterday by accepting a huge silver
loving cup filled to the brim with
money. the gift of the loyal fans of the
Capital and defeating the Detroit
Tigers, 8 to 2, in a game remarkable for
its tensity It was the only victory of
the series for the Griffmen, andiit was
the first from George Dauss, the Tigers
big right-hander. ...-. ..s.,
For three innings the teams raced
along scoreless. Then Gandn doubled
TO the scoreboard and scored. when Nor
gan repeated the action. In the nth
Bush's tumble gave Moeller a life with
one gone. He stole and then Foster
strolled. both moving up on Milan,s
sacrifice. GandiPs vicious single to left
scored both runners. These were all the
runs the Climbers could gather. from
Dauss, who was never weak at any
time.
Johnson, still suffering pain from his
spiked ankle, wobbled perceptibly in the
sixth. allowing three bingies for a run.
Bauman and Crawford singled to open
the frame. Moeller grabbed Cobb's fly
and the bases were loaded when Veach
singled to center. Bauman tailed. on
Gamers long fly to Moeller. Mckee
drew a walk, again filing the sacks.
but johnson rose in his might and
breezed Moriarity.
After two had perished in the ninth
Morgan fumbled Bush's grounder and
then threw poorly to Gandil. putting
the Tiger on second. Bauman singled to
right. scoring Bush, and Acosta's peg
into the throng behind the plate put
Bauman on third. Crawford ended the
the contest with a fly to Moeller. Here

M|LLER'S RECORD
BEST ON POTOMAC
Washington Swimming Club
Crack Does Eleven Minutes
Better Than Former Mark.

The win of first place in the annual
distance swim from Chain Bridge to
the Aqueduct Bridge is today placed
to the credit of Bartle Miller, of the
Washington Swimming CLUB, along
with a new record for the course, fol-
lowing yesterdays renewal of the
event on the Potomac.
Miller won his race handily. leading
from the start, although trailed close
ly by William Runge to the Three
Sisters. The winner was never in
danger and had his race well in hand
all the way. coming in a minute and
a half ahead of Runge.
Charles Carrick, unattached, drew
third place. while Harry Jones, West
ern High School crack, managed to
get a fourth. But three of the swim
mers failed to finish, Ingram. Bur-
dette, and Crane, former record hold
er, failing to go the route.
Miller's record is remarkable owing
to the fact that his time was eleven
minutes faster than that held by
Crane, and is said to be the fastest
ever made from the Chain bridge
start Eight of the swimmers did
better than the record made last year.
The order of finish and times re-
corded follow:

The crowd swarmed on to the field

The Bankers need but one more
game to annex the Capital City

to be played with Cornell Company

the title can be taken with another

by Tommy Connolly, il was apparent
that he had eluded MoriaTty. Indeed.

bases, he would be a regular outfielder
TO IT. Ike him a valuable member Of the
team. Acosta has a brilliant future and
1t will be with the Washington ball club.
Daredevil Danny Moeller is living up
to his name these days by kis work on
the bases. Let him have half a chance
and away he drills for the next station.
His steal of second yesterday in the
fifth was beautiful 10 see He got away
TO a good start and his slide through

Bush nothing but empty air to touch.
MoelIer is proving a fit running mate for
''Zeb'' Milan and. IL he can pick up in
mis- hitting enough. he may yet push the
Linden flyer for the honors on the
bases this season.

Paddy Bauman is a hard hitter and
would be a regular second baseman
with the Jungaleers, had he a little
more speed in his heels. He meets the
ball on the nose, driving most of his
hits to right field. though he hits from
the orthodox side of the plate. His slow
ness of foot made him hug third in the
sixth when Neach singled to center.
when a faster runner could easily have

Plans for :he intercity title series,
the drawing of the teams for the three
sections for the Tost-sGason series and
the appointucnI of umpires will be
given out at a meeting of the amateur
association tomorrow night at the Of
fee of President Robert H. Young, in
the Southern building.
The plans for the intercity series will
be taken up with the idea of finally
closing out all details incident to en-
tertaining Richmond here and going
down to the Virginia capital with the
winning amateur team of this city.
The problem of assigning umpires for
the post-season series is likely to cause
some discussion as all the presidents
wish their arbiters to get a crack at
the change distributed for work in the
series. -.--
President Edward S. Beach inter-
jected some argument on the proposed
distribution of teams into two sections
which caused some changes and made
the decision rest until the meeting to-
morrow night.
Under the present plan the teams are
TO be divided according to strength
into three sections, with playing dates
as follows:
A VS. B, August 9; c VS.. d. August
IL: A vs. C. August L; B VS.. ID, August
I3; A VS.. d, August Il; B VS.. c, August
15; B VS.. A, August 16; ID VS.. c. Aug
ust IS; c VS.. A, August l9; d VS.. \,
August 20; c VS.. 3, August q; ID VS..
B, August %
When the members of the various sec
lions are known the grounds will be
designated.
Under the present system for the
post-season series there is allow
ance for postponements by rain or
ties, a days rest being given between
scheduled games .r.
The finals will be played after Aug
ust g and will be concluded in plenty
of time to have the intercfty games
here on Labor Day.
The riot in the Capital City League
yesterday when players from Cornell
and the Bankers mixed il up a bit
will probably be guarded against in
