ONE RUN IN s7 INNINGS. Record of Walter Jehnsen Prier te Sienine with Washington.

I've pictures belonging to Wallace ChiIders Bear, third saeHer of the Walla Walla team, showing the great Caldwell " elser same or isy.. VI, III for Weiser, are nailed on the dope" board at Badess cigar store in Walla Wa1la, Wash. and they recall the great battle when Walter Johnson had the first run scored off of him after ST successive innings. The contest was one of the greatest ever played on a diamond in Idaho. Johnson had been winning everything down at Weiser, and he had allowed so few hits and moved down so many that he W as be- ginning to attract attention over the country and Spokane of the Northwest league was after him hot and heavy. Not run had been scored on John son in the previous 76 innings, and in order to beat Wetser the Caldwell sports imported six players from the Northwest league. One Of them was Higgenbotham, who had made an en- viable record with Aberdeen that year and who was regarded as the greatest twirler in the Northwest. Spec Har7k- ness now with the Portland coast leaguers, was also in the game and played at first for Weiser.
 The game was played at CaidWeH and attracted people from all over the state. Special trains were run from Huntington and Boise. and between 5000 and 1000 people crowded into the field. One of the spectators was Cliff Blankenship, Washington backstop, who had been sent out to Welser to land Johnson. Blankenship hs1 been in Weiser for week. but no one knew who he was, and he watched the fla nous game from the bench. Johnson had been tipped off to the Washing ton club by an Idaho mining man. and as Blankenshtp was laid off with 8 bad leg, he was sent out as a scout with orders to bring Johnsos back.
 The contest was pitchers battle from the start. and with both tw1rlers getting gilt-edged support, not a run had been pushed over the plate at the end of the nipth. This made Jolinson's s S5th consecutive inning without run against him. Neither team scored in the 10th and Weiser was hlanked in the first half of the 11th. Johnson had allowed but two hits and had struck out 19 men. while Higgenbotham had allowed Weiser three hits and had whiffed the same number of batters. After two were down 8 Caldwell man got to first on an error and sole sec- ond 4 moment later he was an third when a pitched ball got through the catcher's hands. There is no telling how many innings Johnson would have gone without being scored upon had not the next batter got a fuke hit through the infleld and the runner scored from third. The game ended 1 to 0 in Caidwells favor.
 The next week Blankenship took Johnson to Washington and Higgen- hotham was bought by the Chicago Nationals. Johnson lost his first game and wrote back to Weiser that if ha had had his old team behind him he could have won easily. The sports In Weiser had the details of every contest he pitched that fall wired west after the game.

This action Taken Because Challenge of Sir Thomas Lipton Does Not Comply With Deed of Gift.

New York, March 12-Sir Thomas 1 Lipton'S challenge for another race
 for the Americas cup. the premier
 trophy of the yachting world, was de- clined by the New York Yacht club tonight. This action was taken, the 1 club announced, because the challenge did not comply with conditions of the deed of gift, which governs all con- tests for the cup.
 The decIination of the present cha1- | lenge. however, it was stated by mem bers, did not necessarily mean that no 1 Americas cup race was in prospect, as the club was in anticipation of an
 unrestricted challenge for the cup from a British gentleman other than l Sir Thomas Lipton. The clubs only official statement related to the reason for the declina- ton of the Lipton challenge, which was forwarded by the Royal Ulster i club for Sir Thomas.
 Objected to 75-Foot Limit. "The New York Yacht club has de- clined this challenge because it i'm poses as a condition that the defend ing vessel shall not exceed 75 feet length on the water line, and thereby deprives the defending club of the right given it by the deed of gift to select a vessel of such size it pleases provided she be not less than 65 nor more than 90 feet on the wa ter line.
 The clubs action tonight was taken at a, meeting attended by more than 300 members. Only boat owners were entitled to vote on the question of the challenge. Forty votes were cast and all were against acceptance. The re- fusal was a repetition of the clubs action upon the Lipton challenge in 1907, which likewise stipulated for craft under the 90 foot mark as chaI- lenger and defender.
 Sent Three Shan1rooIes Here.
 Sir Thomas sent the three Sham rocks to this side of the water in a vain quest of the cup against ninety foot defenders and has oontended that a yacht of the ninety foot type ean= not be constructed on the ether side and brought across with safety t6 the crew without a sacrifice Of some of her racing qualities to the strength of construction necessary for an ocean voyage.
 The challenge stipulated the same reg ulations "aS governed the last con test Gin 1903) and which proved to be so satisfactory, namely, the best three out of five races over the same courses with like starts and other details.''
 The dates picked were September 10, September 12 and September 15, 1914, with further races, to be sailed on each following Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday, until finished.
 The Americas cup committee which had the challenge under consideration Is comprised of Dallas B. Pratt, com modore; Lewis Cass Ledyard, E. D. Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Henry Walters, c. Ledyard Blair and J.IP. Morgan, Jr-. rear commodore.
