The complaints against the robin
have dwelt on his fondness for
cherries, strawberries, blackberries,
raSpberries, pears, peaches, prunes,
grapes and even olives in California.
The bluebirds' consumption of cult
waited fruits seems more limited, being
practically confined to cherries, rasp-
berries and blackberries, and its fruit
eating period is very short, being only
from late fall to carly spring when
the insects which it prefers are scarce.

By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

Ban johnson, president of the
American League, has been called
upon for ruling on the possible use
of the barred "emery ball" by Ernest
Shore, the Red Sox pitcher, in yes
terday's game at Georgia avenue. If
the czar of baseball takes his usual
time in deciding, we may learn of
it about next August. He hurries
only in fining and suspending play
ers. Umpire Bill Evans today wrote
his boss all the facts as offered to
him by Manager Griffith, Capt.
George Mcbride and Manager Carri-
gan, together with his own conclu-
sions.
Billy Evans says the balls shown
him were apparently scratched, but
he is unable to say just now it was
done. He doubts that emery paper
was used and cannot say how Ban
Johnson will rule on the roughening
Of the ball by any other mears, as
by the finger nail, for instance.
Bill Carrigan. the Red SoX manager.
laughs at the charges that Shore used
an '"emery ball" He says he wouldn't
risk having his pitcher fined 500 and
suspended for a month.
Clark Griffith claims Shore did
roughen the ball in some manner, thus
getting more stuff" on it and holding
the opposing batsmen helpless. He is
keeping the balls in question for evil
dence, should Ban Johnson call for
any Being the fount of wisdom.
johnson is hardly expected to call for
any evidence.
IF Ban Johnson inds that Shore did
use an illegal delivery, Yesterday s
game may he played over. The
chances are, however. that johnson
will pigeon hole the complaint COM
ing from Washington.
Three more games remain to be
played here this week, the Red Sox
being the attraction in all of them
Wednesday night the Griffmen leave
for New York where Bill Donovan will
inaugurate his regime the following
day in a four-ga series with Griff's
lads.

Griffmen back here once again. but

Walter johnson may be sent to tn
hill tomorrow in an attempt to even NJ
the going with the Bostonisns jim
Shaw is also a possibility. Owing to hi
usual strength against Carrigan's clan
Joe Engel is expected to get into on
of the remaining games of the presen
series. Ray Collins may pitch tomorrow
against the Grifmen.
Disputes as to which pitcher LOST yes
terday's game are many. Commo
sense would give the defeat to Boehling
who put both runners on when Johnso
