 Anyway, whats the use of talk ing the old game seriously?
 
 An inquistive fan from Jasper wants to know why so many sport ing scribes have a poetic tendency. Many of them are young. The real reason, however, is treble. Some are born with it; some achieve 1t reading Casey at the Bat and some have it thrust upon them by a superfluity of space. You can al ways tell it by the form of the lines.

JOHNSON INJUNCTION
 SUSTAINED BY JUDGE
Court Judge Stopped What Threatened Be Biggest Raid Ever Made On Organized Ball By Deciding
 Against Federals

Chicago, June S.-First blood in the battle over Chief Johnson-a battle that promises to reach its final deci- sion only in the highest courts, was scored by organized baseball today when Judge Foell, upholding every contention of the Cincinnati National league club, made permanent the in junction which prevented the pitcher from playing with the Federal league.
 It was generally reported that a wholesale desertion of players in or ganized baseball to the independents would follow a decision favoring the Federals.
 The Federals, represented by the Kansas City club, for which Johnson deserted the Cincinnati team, took i'm mediate steps for an appeal and an nounced that the pitcher would play in all Federal league towns except Chicago, despite the Injunction, which is effective only in Illinois.
 August Hermann, Cincinnati pres ident, declared suits would be filed fl every other Federal league city to pre- vent Johnson's playing and counse for the Cincinnati club said civil dam

berthing his yacht in a fine position to weather of the Vanitie. This advantage he held throughout the race. although the Cochran sloop was overhauling the Reso- lute rapidly at the finish.
 The first leg was beat to windward and a run on the return. The course had to be covered twice. The Resolute crossed the starting line 12 seconds ahead, the official times being: Resolute 12.16:30: Nanitie 1216:42. The Resolute appeared at far better advantage in the heavier blow than in the light winds of Tuesday. The flag officers sloop took every advantage of her weather position and drew rapidly ahead and to windward. During the first leg the Vanitie replaced large baby jib topsail with smaller one, but even un- der the reduced sail area the Gardner model heeled to a greater angle than the Resolute. At the completion of the first leg the Resolute led by more than two minutes with almost a third of a mile of open water between the yachts.
 Vanities Gains Time
 Both sloops broke out jibs after round ing the marked. The Vanitie footed faster on this leg and cut down the Reso- lute's almost a minute. The Resolute overstood the mark and still held the Vanitie under her lee after the turn. Both rushed toward the next turning buoy at top speed The Vantie with every sail drawing and setting well, could not over haul the Resolute. The flag officers yacht still held out ahead.
 Turning the stake for the final run to the finish line the Resolute was lead ing by less than a minute.
 The last of the race became a spinnaker run. Down the final mile of the course swept the single stickers. The VanitIe was footing faster than the Resolute, but the distance too short and the Her. reschoff sloop swept over the line at least 75 yards in the lead.
 The victory which evened up the series was a popular one and the fleet massed at the finish line saluted the winner with a prolonged chorus of shrill whistles.

Rye, N. T., June 3.-Sailing under al-
 most perfect weather conditions, the Her | reshoff-designed yacht Resolute defeated Alexander s. Cochran's vantie off here today in the second trial race for 75-foot | sloops, candidates for Amerca's cup de- fender in the races set for September against Sir Thomas Liptons challenger, Shamrock ".
 The resolutes victory came after a 251a-
 mile race on Long Island sound by Il seconds. On estimated corrected time.
 adding the Resolute's time allowance, this was increased to 8 minutes P sec onds.
 Yachtmen were satisfied at having seen the two cup defense aspirants competing
 under far more favorable conditions than contest, when the Vanitie won by a big
 margin. These nautical experts felt that tonight they had better line on the abil- ity of the two sloops than could be formed from Tuesdays race.
 Such conclusions as were reached after today's test are at best tentative ones, for the race, a beat to windward proved little beyond the fact that the Resolute is trifle faster in moderate airs. The Vanitie's sails are not setting satisfac- torily and although in a run-off wind she appeared trifle faster, the advantage or several weeks of tuning up by the Res- olute showed clearly. Until the Vanitie
 has further opportunity for thorough tuning up and the yachts have met in strong wind, observers of yacht racing will be loath to express an opinion. Yachts Easily Matched Considering the handicap, the result Of today's struggle would appear to indi- a4.I., A datt 1af ha a

Commander Declares He
Will Send German Cruiser

San Francisco, Aug. give will
send the German cruiser Leipzig to
the bottom of the Pacific in hurry if
we are able to locate her. There's no
doubt about that"
This was the parting shot here of
Captain Moriyama of the Japanese
cruiser Idzumo just before he took his
vessel out to sea at p. m. today. The
Idzumo's departure was as sudden as
it was mysterious. An order for 500
tons of coal was to have been delivered
but it was countermanded Immediately
after the receipt of a code message
from Japan.
Just where we are going I will not
say" said Captain Moriyama, but we
will not be more than 200 miles from
San Francisco at any time. We will
offer protection to all Japanese, French
and English vessels on the Pacific.
Il believe that as soon as the Leipzig
learns the Idzumo is doing patrol duty
along the Pacific coast she will depart
for other waters"

MASTER OF THE SEAS

Washington, Aug. 22.-Announce-
ment that seven per cent of all German
shipping is in British hands, 20 per

and that the Austrian fleet has been
driven by the Anglo French fleet into
the Adriatic was made by the embassy
tonight from advices from the London
war office.
The embassy announced that its
news was received today from London,
as follows:
THE floating trade of Germany has
been brought to standstill by the
operations of the British cruisers in
the different parts of the world. The
German fleet is unable to interfere or
to set their commerce free owing to
the British main fleet, which is cruis-
ing in full strength and preventing
any interference with its cruisers. AL
ready about per cent of the total
German tonnage is ir British hands,
another 20 per cent in sheltering neu-
trail harbors and the remainer in Ger
man harbors BILE to move or en-
deavoring to find security.
British shipping, with the excep-
ton of less than l per cent which was
in German harbor3 at the outbreak of
the war, is actively pursuing its busi-
ness on all great commercial routes
1.-THE German squadron in Chinese
waters has been rendered ineffective by
the constant pursuit by the British
squadron in the far east.
"The Austrian squadron in the Adri-
attic has retired into the Adriatic be-
fore the combined Anglo French fleet,
which is 50 superior that it is able to
send strong detachments to any part
of the Mediterranean or adjoining seas
in which naval forces may be re-
quired.
Great numbers of the seafaring pop
ulation of Great Britain are offering
themselves for service in the fleet"

the propriety of going ahead and pos
sibly soaring off private capital from
entering the marine development field.

What Weeks War Moves Mean

quickly retreated across the boundary,
gaining nothing by their work.
In southern Alsace the military oper-
atoms cannot be satisfactory to the
French general staff, since the COM
mander of the operations about Muel-
hansen has been superseded by General
Pau, the one-armed popular hero of
the battle of Froeschviller In the
Franco Prussian war.
French and German forces at Muel-
hansen seem evenly matched. Neither
side is able to make a decisive i'm
preston on the other. This may be an
early indication of the way the entire
war eventually will conclude.

New York. Aug. 22.-Tbe honors of
the week belong to Germany. The
kaiser's forces have shut a large part
of the Belgian army in Antwerp, have
captured Brussels and have practically
driven the French out of Lorraine.
The Belgian operations have been
conducted behind the censors' curtain,
so that we do not know how severely
the allies may have been handled. But
indications point to a constant series
OF skillful retreats before the German
advance, within pre-arranged lines.
Since the Anglo French Belgian plan of
campaign did not contemplate the re-
tention of Brussels, Germany's victory
cannot fairly be called the allies de-
feat
About Dinant the severest Belgian
fighting of the war has been raging all
week. There is no evidence of victory
for either side, but a drawn engage
ment is really a German defeat, since
it prevents a German crossing OF the
Mouse south of Namur and German
maneuvers in the Ardennes woods and

the week developing an imposing en-
circling movement in Lorraine, trying
to drive the Germans back toward
Strassburg.
This was an offensive movement
containing possibilities of much danger
because of the enormously strong Ger
