'JOHNSON'S MIGHTY
SWAT Wins GAME
Big Pitcher Drives Sphere to
Center Field Fence in
Tenth Inning.
WALKER HELD LOCALS
UNTIL DECIDING BLOW
Visitors Hit Walter Hard in Opener,
But Score Only
One Run.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

Thanks to long wallop by Walter
johnson in the tenth, which brought
Mcbride home from first base with the
run needed to win, the Griffmen yes
terday made it two out of three from
the Cleveland Indians.
1t was mighty swat which John
son sent to the center field fence. 1t
was made on the first ball pitched, and
if it had been necessary would have
Melted a home run.
On his three previous trips to the
plate Walker had retired him on
strikes. This time, however, Walter
set himself and hit the first ball Of
fered, and the game was over.
1t was another typical Johnson game,
his teammates failing to get more than
one run in nine innings, which was
just enough to tie the visitors. Walker,
who opposed Johnson, seemed decided
ly effective against the locals, and SO
it was that the two teams went into
the tenth inning on even terms, each
having scored run.
The Indians tally came in the open
ing round, when Johnson was pounded
unusually hard, and was really fortu-
nate to get away with but one being
scored. After Southworth had been
thrown out by Mcbride after a brilliant
stop, Eschen drove through Foster
for a base. Chapman struck out. and
then came three straight hits by kirke,
Smith and Turner, sending Eschen home
and filing the bases At this stage
Johnson relieved the situation by fan
ming Wambsganss.
The Griffmens run came in the Sec
ond, in which Gandil hit for three
bases with one down and scored on
Acosta's long sacrifice fly to center.
The visitors threatened in the fourth
and ninth, but could not score in eth
err In the fourth, after one was down,
Johnson made wide throw Of Tur-
ner's grounder, the latter reaching sec
ond. Wamby singled, and Milan threw
Turner out at the plate. O'Neil ended
the round.
Again in the ninth the Indians made
a rally. Kirke opened with hit, but
Smith was struck out. Turner lined
to Foster, and then Johnson hit VAN
by, but O'Neil was easy. The score:

BY II. C. BYRD.

Agriculture should win the champion
ship of the Departmental League. Its
victory in the first contest of the Sc
ries of five yesterday gives it an adj
vantage that is not likely to be over
come by Interior. In order to get first
honors the Farmers will only have to
break even with Manager Rays ag-
gregation, and that would not appear
to be difficult matter to judge by the
fact that two victories this week al
ready have been obtained by them.
Agriculture won yesterday in ninth
inning rally, scoring two runs in that
period and coming from the short end
of a to score to to in its favor.
The Aggies played more effective ball
than their opponents, especially in the
field. Only once was an error made
by them at critical time. while Inte-
rior miscued on several occasions Ed
Kelley pitched good ball for the losers,
but his support wabbled more than
once. Two OF the scores made against
him were directly due to misplays on
the part of his teammates. DoWney
was effective while doing the pitching
for Agriculture. Yesterday was about
the second time this season that Dow
ney has been on the mound, yet he
made good simply because he knew too
much for the opposing batters. Downey
did not have near as much stun on the
ball as Ed Kelley, but his long eXpe-
rience in base ball did not necessitate
him possessing anything more than a
slow ball and another a little slower
than that. GioVanetu had a perfect
average at bat for Interior, making
three safeties out of as many attempts.
incidentally, it is hard to tell just
how much the favorable decision to
Bureau in the Government League is
20, 4 abe
The two biggest factors in the success
of Agriculture yesterday, Downey and
Lemeric, are Bureau players and II
they return to perform as members OF
that organization in the new series in
the Government Lea que, there is no
doubt that Agriculture chances will
be considerably lessened. Yesterday
Lemeric and DoWney each made three
hits and Downey pitched winning
game, SO it readily can be seen that
the cause of Agriculture viii not be
furthered to any great extent by a
DETECTION of the services of these men.
The disputes and arguments between
Bureau and Commerce in the Govern
ment League have been settled. The
following decision handed down by the
board of governors of amateur base
ball as a result of a meeting of that
body last night gives Bureaus plea the
preference:
The question involved in the appeal
of the Bureau club on the action of the
Government League relates to the
eligibility of Player Gordon of the Blu
reau club No agreement of Gordon
with the Bureau club was filed with
the secretary of the amateur associa-
ton. On the evidence presented, this
board is convinced that Gordon signed
an agreement with Bureau on or about

were handed by Manager Williams to
President Deane, which was the gen
eral practice of that club, to be for

BALL PLAYERS FINED.
Stovall and Magee Also Suspended
for Striking Umpire Corcoran

CHICAGO. July 30.-Fines ranging
from $50 to $3.50 were imposed yester-
day upon the three players who We'd
nesday attacked Umpire Corcoran in
the games at Kansas City between the
Kansas City and Brooklyn Federal
clubs, according to an announcement
made by President Gilmore.
The players who were named by Mr..
Gilmore, with the amount of the fines.
are: George Stovall. manager of the
Kansas City club. $3.50; Lee Magee.
manager of the Brooklyn club, $3.50.
and Benny kauff. centerlelder for the
Brooklyn club, $50.
1t is asserted that Stovall struck UNI
pire Corcoran after decision in the
first game. when the arbiter called two
of the Brooklyn base runners safe
Manager Magee objected to a decision
on balls and strikes in the second game
while Kauff was at bat, and attacked
the umpire, who retaliated by hitting

In addition to the fines imposed upon
Managers Stoyall and Magee, President

appearance at the bag.

HeaIey, Pittsburgh amateur, Is
showing up SO we'll at third base that
il is predicted he will have something
on Baker in a very short while. And
so far as pitchers are concerned, it is
the general belief that Bender and
Plank will not be thought of again
after Mack has his present staff of
young slabmen in working order. He
seems to have picked up four or f1ve
twirlers who are sure to make good.
According to report from the west
Hank O'Day will very shortly join the
National Leagues umpire staff. ODay
resigned from Tener's staff in Febru-
airy, 1914, in order to accept the man
aeement of the Chicago Cubs. He had
a hard time of holding that job. for the
PLAYERS were divided against him, and
il is understood he decided never to try
managing again, and will return to his
first love-umpiring. The little diff-
Guilty which existed with iener pc
cause of his resignation seems to have
been Strengthened out, and it is pre-
dicted that Hank will in due time be
donning the protector and mask again.
It is very apt to have some effect on
the leaders, Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
to see the Braves making rapid for
ward strides. Two victories were add
ed by the Stallings team yesterday
and Brooklyn now is not SO very far
away. 1t requires real backbone for
team to duplicate the Bravesc' per-
Torrance of last season. and yet this
seems possible. When a team can win
fourteen out Of the last fifteen games
1t has played, it is going some without
doubt, and that winning streak bids
fair to be continued for some time
yet.
bringing Howard Shanks into the in
field is apt to make him a much more
valuable player than he has been here
tofore. There is more to do in the in
field than in the garden, and Shanks is
a player who likes to be busy. and will
have much more opportunities TO do
things at third base than he had in the
out1eld. /.
Shanks is peppery individual. and
he is sure to add life to the infield.
Time does not seem to have made any
material difference in the playing
of Hans Wagner. who is still holding
down short field for the Pirates and do
ing it in a fashion that would be hard
to improve upon. Not only is the Flying
Dutchman fielding like q fiend, but he is
hitting nearer his standard than he has
for several years.
Wagner was picked to have about fin
ished his career this spring, but now he
is playing as well any man On the Pitts
burgh team.
Sherwood Magee of the Braves has
finally got to going and is now doing
his share of hitting for the Boston team.
Magee was a long while getting into his
stride, and it was thought for a time
that Stallings had made a mistake in
obtaining him. but he is showing now
that the deal was wise move. for he
is the only one of the Braves outfieiders
uh r ia doing clea hitting
Stallings. 1t is understood, is anxious
to get another cleanup hitter, and is
said to have a deal on whereby he will
get veteran fielder who is still a star
hitter. This is said to be Frank Schultz
of the Chicago Cubs. one OF the hardest
hitters in the game. and who probably
would show marked improvement il he
were Transferred TO the Braves. q tesm
