PEORIA JOURNAL
SAYS "QUIT 1T"
Wants Harmony Amongst Dis
tiller Scribes-We Sec
ond the Motion.

Says the Peoria Journal: Oft
times the peace-maker only serves
the purpose Of diverting the at
tack and instead of stopping the pun
melting of two others, gets a good
beating himself With that fact firm
ly in mind, we venture to rise and
speak word anent the nauseating
fight now being waged by a bellig-
erent scribe ON one Peoria newspaper
and an arrogant dopester on another.
The only purpose their continued bick-
ering can serve is to injure the Peoria
baseball team, make a rookie" out of
themselves while trying to show up
the other and disgusting an intelligent
reading public. Therefore, we say, in a
spirit of all modesty and meekness,
let it drop.
We always have been of the we'll
set opinion that it little behooyed a
s14-a-week baseball writer to attempt
to dictate to a $300-a-month manager
how he should run his club. Our idea
of newspaper eff. was to simply
tell what he did, how he did it and
make note of the results. The fact
that others have not conceded with
our view. is, we believe, in the main,
responsible for the conditions as they
exist today in Peoria. The power of
newspaper can be used for good
only when the editor feels the respon'
sibility that that power gives him. To
abuse the power and attempt to shirk
the responsibility, is proof sufficient
of a pigmy intelletc that cannot be
long kept under bushel
Under the present order of things
only strife, factional rows and dis
aster can come. The Journal is as
| firm as ever in the belief that Mr.
Mccormick was the victim of a very
questionable practice, but we regard
| baseball as too great game, too clean
sport and too good an advertisement
| for a city to allow it to be hampered
| in any way by petty jealousies among
| irresponsible scribes.
The past is gone. 1t is to the flu
/ ture tina. We are looking. On that
account, we reiterate the suggestions
made before that the time has come
when if there be Differences of opin
ion that are irreconcilable. they be
threshed out elsewhere than in the
columns OF the newspapers. The
metho1 employed at present is like the
cid squib, Papa get the hammer
there's a fly on baby's head" The!
may kill the fly but cripple the baby
Similarly, the two scribes referred t
may ridicule, abuse and lambast eacl
other. but all the while, they are hurt
ing the game more than they are hurt
ing each other.
Therefore, quit it,

LAKE MICHIGAN
SHANKS HOODOO

Manager Clark Griffith of the Wash
ington team breathed a sigh of relief
when the train carrying his athletes
pulled out of Chicago last night. The
reason was Lake Michigan. Sunday
night Griffith almost had heart failure
when he heard what a narrow es-
cape Walter Johnson, Catcher Henry,
Infelder Morgan and Utility Infielder
Gedeon had from drowning.
Monday night OutfieIder Shanks was
not so lucky, for he dived in a shall
low spot, hurting his head, and then
turned an ankle on rock trying to
get back to shore. Griffith kept this
a secret until last night, and this
was the reason for Shanks absence
from the Sox-Senators series in the
last two games.
After the Shank accident Griff or
dered his men to remain away from
the lake. Shanks left for home with
the team, but will not be able to play
for several days.

A POST MORTEM.

Thirteen innings is a long time to
play for a game, but the Colts did it.
We suspicion that those Kolts would
play longer than that if it was neces-
sary.
There were about three thousand
frantic fans in the city yesterday aft
ernCon as they cogld not find out what
the score was. The score nothing to
nothing in the twelfth was public prop
erty but after that nothing could be
learned.
However-ahem-th welcome news
arrived in time TO save abou. half of
the fans. Too bad that half of them
Perished from anxiety.
Now that Roddy Hendrix has gone
the way that all bad pitchers go, we
may rest easy. Hendrix was always
Quincy's jinx, but not yesterday. Rod
dy must have felt quite Inundated by
being beaten by the Quincy Colts.
Since Hendrix is gone we may
rest easy as the Colts will attend to
the rest of the beavers on the Blue
Sox team. Roddy is about the best
they can put out, SO we should worry.

voice ought to be worth a fortune.
Johnson is the best umpire on the
circuit, according to the opinions eX-
pressed hereabouts, and ones of the
best that ever held down an indica-
tor in the Three-I.
Someone on the Blue Sox pay roll
was fined $50 yesterday. With a Pref
eel at bat, STRIFE was called which
appeared a trife off color from the
Sox bench. One of the athletes yelled:
Get 'em up, you grandstand bum"
Time" yelled the jumps, and tear
ing off his mask, he rushed over to
the bench and calculated: u want to
know the -.- that said that"
No reply was forthcoming, and play
was resumed.
After the second game was over,
Johnson walked over to O'Leary and
said: It's $50 to the man that said
that You know who he is" VIII

he was skidded down to sixth place

Those new men kind of broke into
the game strong yesterday. Couchman
is just as good, if not better, than
when he performed in our own fair
city. Donley is what Old Poke would

looks the goods.
Incidentally the Blue Hose gang as
cended to third place, all of which
helps a trifle.
That man Congor, who is holding
down the short field for Quincy is
about as fast as they make EN-. He
is robbing the home boys of hits day

Washington Twirler Wins 18th

Drive Five HurIers to Cover, Grabbing
20 BingIes-Score Is

If Larry Chappelle and Hal Chase
had played anywhere near the form
that is expected of big leaguers, Wash
ington's sensational young southpaw,
Boehling by name, would never be
credited with his 18th straight vic
tory for the season, which he engi-
neered over the SoX yesterday. The
score was to l and Chase gave them
five of their runs, while Chappelle con-
tributed another. This gives Boehl-
ling the seasons record for consecu-
tive wins, Johnson and Falkenberg
falling by the wayside after hanging
up 10.
The widest stretch of imagination
could not picture Boehling in the light
of a winner in the wind-up struggle,
tor only the rankest kind of playing
on the part of the aforementioned two
chalked up the tilt in his favor. In
all the Sox were credited with eight
glazing miscues, five of which were
mdae by Chase, two by Chappelle, while
Jack Fournier grabbed the other one.

that the fans started hooting the home

KINsELLA WINS AS USUAL.

Richard F. Kinsella, scout for the
New York Giants and former owner
of the Springfield club, has been de-
clared the winner in the salary claim
tangle with former president Grayson
of the Louisville club, relative to the
services of Pitcher Len Schroeder and
Second Baseman Lynn Bell. Kinsella
was at first directed to reimburse
Grayson for salary paid to the men
to settle all claims when they were
released by the Louisville club. On
the rehearing of the case the National
Commission reversed its former de-
cision and freed Kinsella of all re-
sponsibility in the case, saying that a
man who held the views of Mr.. Gray
son relative to claim was not worthy
of the commissions consideration

THIS BOY COVERS
FEET AT STRIDE

When Hap Myers, recruit first base
man of the Boston Braves, is in full
stride stealing bases he covers nine
feet at a stride, something unusual
in running.
Myers is leading the National
league base stealers, despite a batting
average of but .224, which means that
he does not reach first as often as
men like Bob Bescher, Hans Lobert
Doyle or Merkle of the Giants.
The average stride of a sprinte1
is about six feet, Myers is a six-foot
er and is said to have the longest
legs in the league.
Myers stole 115 bases in the North
western league last year No ono
expects him to duplicate this in the
National, but that long stride gets
him over considerable ground in 4
hurry.
A Cincinnati dopester figured thai
the average base runner takes Is steps
of seven feet in going from base C
base, while Myers takes but 10
Myers is something of a baseball
curiosity and his work is watched win
interest by the fans. II the time
comes that the big fellow climbs into
the 300 class as a batter. he is apt
to become a terror of the paths 20

AROUND THE CIRCUIT
NOT THE PERFUME BOTTLE.

When George Reed drops into
Bloomington, this noon, it will have
been just Is years ago that George
broke his leg in that city. The great
est manager in the league was at that
time playing second. In play at that
base he got mixed up with the base,
runner, and his left leg was frac,
tured between the knee and ankle in
two places.
He was at that time considered one
of the fastest infielders in the circuit,
but the injury on that date, put him
out of the game for good. Manager
Reed never since has attempted to
get back into the game.-Decatur

for a trial.
The five days limit was up and it
was a case of either sign him or drop
him and the management would have
to let one man go in case they did sign
him, something they did not feel like
doing. He was simply informed that
he could not be signed. The manage
ment furnished him transportation

SECOND GAMa
BY mutual agreement, the second
installment consisted of but seven
chapters. Danny Miller was elected
to even things up, but as an evener
he proved to be q first class onion.
He was wild as an underfed Thomas
cat, and when he was not heaving the
pellet over the knobs of his teammates,
the Pretzels were lambasting his Of
ferings with right good will.
Danny has been getting his share
of wins and ordinarily is a tough prop
osition. Yesterday he had plenty of
stuff, but was so indispensable that
Billings nearly succumbed TO an at
tack of nervous prostration. The
Quincy twirler lost his own game right
in the opening inning. Koepping lived
on a fielder's choice after Reed had
walked and had been crucified at the
keystone. Becker rolled to Kahl who
messed things, making two on. Brom-
witch drove viciously to left, counting
Koepping. Becker beat it to the key
stone on the play. Flaharty bumped
one to Danny, who conceived the idea
of mailing Becker at third. The idea
was all right, but the throw was not

with Miller's wild pitch, produced two
