All the games scheduled in the post
season series for today are likely to be
called off. 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
played over.
While some of the players showed up
for 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 ball game IL 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 1t 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 hole tomorrow for pitch
ing material.

accuracy 1t was expected that Johnston

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 Watson's drives, which

The second set was a walk-over for

splendid games. it is admitted here by the
close followers of tennis that he must
play stronger if he is to come through
the national championship of Newport

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

NEW YORK, August 13.-Roy Mitchell.
pitcher of the ST. Louis Browns, was pre-
vented from assaulting Umpire Silk
O'LoughIin 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. Manager
Chance and Catcher Sweeney pushed the
beligerent player away.
The trouble took the spectators by sur
prise. Mitchell. ii appears. said some
thing to O'Loughlin as he came off the
field after Maisel had retired his side with
mask and, pointing 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'Loughln, 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 a time 1T looked as II
he would be elected. too.
After the game Stovall sent a telegram
to President Ban Johnson preferrinS serl-
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 quiet, we'll behaved fellow. AS he
came in from the box yesterday he said
to. O Ioughlin:
You missed a couple of strikes on
Maisel.'
81 did it on purpose replied O'Lough-
lin. just to get chance to put you out OF
the game You're a yellow curt
Naturally Mitchell became angry and
he told O'Loughln that he was tired of
being called yellow and that he had half
a 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 l 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 report of
the row TO President Johnson last night
and Mitchell probably will be suspended.

there are few better performers than
Walters. and in every department of play
he is one to be watched very closely by
the opposition.
Plunkett, who holds down second base
for Petworth, plays deeper than any
other man in the amateur leagues. He
plays much TOO deep, In TACT. All that
any clever batter would have to do
would be to punch a hard bunt between
the pitcher and first baseman and 1t
would certainly go safe.

very good waiter. He leads of the bat

time long enough to get strikes called
on him. He is always working to get
the pitcher in a hole, and he does it more
often than not When his team beat the
Bankers last Saturday he walked four
times, and got a hit on his other trip to
the plate.
One thing that is going to favor the
Bankers is that Riddle has begun to hit
in something like the form he has shown
in previous seasons. His work with the
stick in the last three games has been
excellent, and II he keeps it up It
means that the Bank team will be much
stronger on the offensive. 1t might be
said in this connection also that Rid
die is playing about so per cent better
ball around first base than he was at
the start of the season. He is handling
throws much better. is fielding more ac-
curately. and is making perfect plays on
throws that are made to the left of the
bag-plays which formerly were extreme
ly difficult for him.

was a walk-over for the Californian. the

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
that Johnston was in danger of losing
his laurels. Beekman had several chances
to win out, but always failed at the criti-
cal stage of the match He tired quickly
from the persistent attack of his oppo-

third set, which was Won by Johnston
by the score of 81. The loss of the first

ticularly successful for the reason that
his team will be intact. Shanks being

Hall to Oppose Johnson.
Jennings will probably use Hall in the
opener tomorrow. This selection will
probably be made because Hall has been
very effective against the Nationals in
both the games he has pitched. scoring
two victories. Dauss. having worked in
the game in New York Monday, is not
to be expected to work until Friday or
Saturday. and the game he pitches Is the
only one Griffith expects to lose. Dauss,
in the opinion of competent judges, is
the best young pitcher to break into
fast company this year. and he has been
particularly effective against the Ma
tionals so that if Jennings avoids either
Johnson or Boehling with him Dauss is
fairly sure to win his contest.
The Tigers showing on the road has

be a good showing. That the Tigers will

Jennings is assured, for he expects a
