MAPS BEAT JOHNSON
Take First Game of Series
From Nationals by 4 to o.
A RECRUIT AGAIN WINS
Another Youngster, Bowman, Low
ers Colors of the Greatest
of Pitchers.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

CLEVELAND, June 15.-Walter john
son suffered another shut-out yesterday,
being beaten by Cleveland. 4 to .. All
that it seems to require these days to
beat Walter is to pit some unknown
youngster against him, as was the case
yesterday Bowman. who twirled for
Cleveland, is a recruit who halls from
the Canadian League and whose only
year was against the Nationals in Wash
ington some weeks ago. when he pitched
three innings of game. which was al
ready lost. without being scored on. Bow
man was hit as hard as was johnson, but
he kept the hits better scattered, the six
blows being evenly divided between
Moeller, Gandil and Morgan. None of
the other members of Griff's team could
touch him. The Maps. like most teams
lately, took kindly to the offerings of
johnson and did not have much difficulty
in gathering four runs. Three of these
were earned as the result of hitting, the
other was gift through errors py Nor
gan and Foster.
The Maps went at Johnson at the out
set scoring in the initial inning. Graney.
the first batter up. hit the first ball
pitched for a single TO right. Turner
then came through with a single to CEN
ter. which Milan fumbled and Graney
scored. The next two batters failed to
get the ball safe.
Johnson went along at good clip
for while, but the Maps got another
run in the fourth. when Morgan
fumbled Woods grounder and Foster
followed by throwing Johnston's slow
bounder poorly to first. Olsen had two
strikes on him when he worked the
squeeze play successfully. Morgan got
his grounder too late to make a play
at the plate. Hartford's grounder to
Morgan resulted in Johnston being
caught off third base and then Omen
flied to Milan.
Bowman opened the fifth with
single, but Johnson was not really in
danger again until the eighth. when
he was hit severely. Turner started
matters with a single to left and Lei
bold followed suit. Wood struck out,
but Johnston came through with hit
to center which Milan also fumbled.
and Turner scored Olsen's infield out
allowed Leibold to run home, but
Johnston was caught at the plate when
he tried to steal.

There were several occasions when
the Nationals threatened. but nothing
resulted. McBride's walk opened the
third inning. and, after Ansmith and
johnson had flied out, Moeller bounded
Il single off BoWmans shins, but Fos-
ter proved an easy victim. Morgan
started the fifth with double to left,
but the three succeeding batters failed
to advance him. Moeller doubled in
the eighth with two out, and again
Foster failed to move him around The
next chance for a run came in the
ninth. when Gandil singled with one
out and stole second and third. Shanks,
however flied to Graney. and Morgans
line drive to center was gobbled up
by Leibold after splendid forward
run.

ing the great increase in imports

1T Is. however. in the details. as
shown by the monthly summary OF
commerce for the period OF eight
months, that are found the real eff
feCts of the new law on domestic N
ductries and foreign trade In the
materials imported for manufacturing
there is a falling off, indicating tina;
there is a reduction in the activities
of the manufacturers of the country.
In certain classes of material
manufacturers must have their sup
plies from abroad and when these
supplies decrease in quantity 1t is APP
parent that they are reducing their
production and hence their employ
ment of labor.
THE quantity of raw cotton i'm
ported in the eight months of the
new law for which details are avail
able is but S7,0O0,00O pounds. against
approximately 97.OO0,000 in the same
months of last year under the Payne
law. Notwithstanding the fact that I'M
ported cotton is much less in price
now than a year ago, being 14la cents
a pound in May. 1914. against 10 Is
cents in May. 1913.

the -efor the prices have also greatly
fallen. yet the quantity of this gener-
al class of material imported in the
eight months under this law is but
l27.00OOOO pounds. against 100000
600 in the same months OF last year.

"In pig tin. used in the manufac-

in the same months Of the preceding
year. Meantime the importation OF
tin plate under the reduced rate OF
duty given by the new law is four
times as much as in the same months
of last year.
"The Democratic party has never
forgiven William Mckinley and the
Republican party for placing high
duty on tin plate and building up an
industry which paid over S3.Ooo,ooo
year wages to tin plate workers In
the United States. and one Of the first
things it did when it took up the new
tariff proposition was to make a
sweeping reduction in the duty on
tin plate
AS a consequence the impOrtations
of tin plate have quadrupled. the inn
portation OF pig tin for use in its.
manufacture has fallen OF and the
exports OF tin plate have fallen from
100000. 900 pounds in the eleven
