WALTER JOHNSON ALLOWS YANKEES
  ONLY FOUR BLOWS

Washington, Sept 4.-Pitcher Cy R1eh. who tanned. the Senators in New Ycrk1Iast month, was unable to repeat yesterday, losing tight game 2 to 0 when Washington obtained pair of doubles and a single in the sixth inn ling. Z
 Pieh drew as his opponent Walter Johnson, who was at his best, which explains why the Donovanites went ruthless Four hits,. one of them a real drive, the other three scratches, were all Johnson allowed. Thirty-one men faced him, and nobody reached third base.
 Pitchers King Brady ofDa11as, Tex as, and Meadows of the Richmond In 4ernationa1 League club reported to the Yankees yesterday and worked out before the game under the watch fu1 eyes of Scout Joe Kelley. Both dock like promising young hur1ers, and Manager Donovan stated that he

GoTCH's VICTORIES

Today is the anniversary of two OF the most important contests of Frank Gotch, the greatest of American wrestling champions. Ten years ago today the Iowa farmer demonstrated his superiority over Jack Carkeek, who had long reigned supreme over the worlds mat artists. Gotch met the veteran in Butte, Mont, and quickly demonstrated that all the cIeverness' and generalship of the once mighty Carkeek were insufficient. On Sept. 4, 1911, four years after his bout with Carkeek, Gotch was pitted for a. sec ond time against Hackenschmidt who had disputed the Hawkeye mans claim to the worlds championship. This bout was pulled off in a Chicago baseball park before the biggest Wrest- ling crowd in American mat history It was a brief contest-so brief that some insisted that it had been fixed but there is no reason to doubt that Gotchs speedy victory was the honest fruit of superior strength, science and skill. The Russian Lion was only a cub in Goteh's hands. ana he asvoF ha% chance

ANDERSON MEETS
 GARDNER IN GOLF
 FINALS IN DETROIT

Detroit, Mich. Sept 4ERobert A. Gardner of Chicago and Yale, scored one O the most brilliant victories in his golf career, yesterday aftern oon. He defeated Max R. Marston of Springfield, N. J., up in 37 holes, in one of the seni-fnals for the Ma tfonaI Amateur Golf Championship. Today in the final match he played John G. Anderson, the veteran from Mt. Vernon, N. Y, who elimin- ated Sherril Sherman of Utica, up and 1.
 Anderson defeated Sherman in a match featured by the dogged per sistence of the loser and the steady effectiveness of the victor. Gardner owes his place in the finals to 9. mag nif1cent display of sheer grit that en- abled him to beat Marston after Max triumph seemed so certain that a. good part of the gallery had started to run to the club house so as to beat the majority to the cooling beverages. A missed putt of about two feet on the Seth green lost Marston the match.
 The score of the Anderson-sher- man match was 2 up and 1 to play.
 If Gardner should win today it would be the second time he has captured the national honor. Anderson was runner up once but it took Jerome Travers to stop him in the final match.
 In addition to the championship finals, an exhibition game of particular attractiveness will be played. The De- troit Country club has offered a tro- phy for the medal play round between Ouinet, Travers and Charles Evans, Jr., often referred to as the Big Three.'

By the middle of next week it may be possible to pick the winner of the Natoinal league pennant The Ph1illes start a series in Brooklyn beginning Monday and the Braves follow them into Brooklyn. By the time the Phil lies and Braves get through mingling with the Dodgers the fans will know whether Morans men have the edge on their bitter rivals in actual com bat.
 The Dodgers had an excellent chance to gain on the leaders yesterday while the Phillies were losing to the Giants but the runners up never appear to be able to take advantage of any set backs the Phillies receive.
 The Red Sox increased their lead in the American league scramble by beat ing the luckless Athletics while St. Louis was nosing out Detroit.
 Local fans will have a chance to look over Brook1yn's entries in the National league race when the Dodgers appear at Newf1eld park tomorrow afternoon to play the Remington-Arms club.

Average Fan Is Too
 Ready To Roast Ball
 Players For Mistakes
Worcester Post.)

That the average baseball fan of the country today is not thoroughly con- versant with the ups and downs of a ball player was recently demonstrated in Detroit when the fans of that city spent one afternoon "booing" Ty Cobb because he was in a batting slump.
 Day in and day out the fans spend most of their time at ball games crit icising plays and players with little thought that the men upon whom they their wra th are just as human as they are themselves. Even Cobb, who is without a doubt the greatest of them all in the grand old game, is not an exception.
 It shows plainly just who is respon- sible for a majority of the failures of promising players in the game today. If Cobb is no exception then what chance has the youngSter before a laundering mob? Of course, there are a select few who understand that ev- cry ball player has his off days and that batting slumps are just as com mon as water, but these few are over ruled by the vast majority who do not understand the game thoroughly and take great delight in riding ball play CTS.

.EVERS IS GIVEN
 5 DAY SUSPENSION
 FOR ROWDY WORK

Johnny Evers has again been set down for five days by John K. Tener, president of the National League, in punishment for his rowdy tactics dur ing the Brooklyn-Boston game in ing Brooklyn Boston game in Beanville last Thursday. Johnny held his hand kerchief to his nose as apprecia- tion of the umpiring. First Baseman Schmidt and handy man Fitzpatrick were fined $10O and $50. respectively, for their share of the incident.
 The suspension of Evers, who, all though a popular star, has been get ting into trouble frequently this seq son; will be a severe blow for Boston at this time. It will keep Evers out of the remainder of the Braves Brooklyn series, as well as the entire Braves Giant Labor Day series on the Polo Grounds. Evers' a1ibi was con sidered, a very poor one by Tener. Johnny said he was merely blowing his nose.

Among the other eastern institutions Princeton, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania. Lafayette and Syracuse are all we'll represented in the coaching field. In sharp contrast is the fact that liar yard and Cornell players do not ap- parently devote much time to coach ng after graduation. In the west Chicago and Michigan lead in this re- spect although there is a fair sprin kS ling of Minn nesota, Wisconsin, Notre Dame and Illinois alumni on the list.
 The American jockey Archibald, headed the list of winning riders in the summer meeting at Hoppergarten, n, Berlin, recently concluded, with sev- enteen firsts in forty-eght races. The victories of the. American rider were very popular and in racing at least there was no trace of anti-American feeling. Second place was taken by Jockey Rastenberger, riding for the Weinberg stables, for which Fred Tara1, the old American jockey, is trainer. Rastenberger, who is serving with the German field artillery and was given a furlough for the meet ing. rode fifteen winners in fifty-six races Other German jockeys follow far to- the rear, the. next rider, Plueschke, riding only seven winners

Court- ney has made steady improvement pected to be able to supervise the Fall crew work at Ithaca although it is likely that he will leave much of the detail to John Hoyle- Unless there is some unforeseen setback during the next few months Courtney will be in full charge of the rowing destinies of Cornell when the crews take the wa ter early next Spring.
 A novel suggestion, offered with the idea of increasing the interest in baseball, is advanced by a well known umpire, who has studied the National Sport in all it's angles He proposes to move the bleachers nearer to the diamond and double the seating capa- city of majority of these stands in the big league parks. According to ths authority the secret of baseball popularity lies in the enthusiasm of the bleacherite- He says:
 Modern baseball has crowded the b1eacher fan to the far corners of the lot. He is so far removed from the play that he has lost his intimate, ac- quaintance with the player and the game has SufTefed as a result In the old days he was the life of the game. He was within speaking dis tance of both the infield and out field players and never failed to speak out his opinion of plays both good and bad His comments keyed the players to their best efforts and they never shirked in their work for they knew that the bIeaeherite would not spare their feelings if he thought that they were not trying their hard est. The bleacher fan carried his en- thusiasm with him twenty-four hours a, day and was a constant boomer for the game and a spur for the player Baseball needs more fans of this type but little boxes a quarter of a mile from the diamond are not going to de- velop this much needed class of rooter''
