JOHNSON, ALLOWS YANKEES ONE HIT AND BLANKS THEM

Washington, Sept. 6.-Walter John son toyed with the New York Yam kees in the opening game of the, se ries here yesterday afternoon, allow ing only one hit and striking out eight bntsn1en. The score was 2 to 0. Bill Donovans invaders were helpless. not a member of the visiting crew reach ing second base.
 Johnson himself added to the score by tanning the ball to the left-field corner of the lot and completing the circuit for home run. It was easily the longest e4odt inside the Florida avenue fnc'osure this season The ball bounded up against the bleachers and almost Topped in.
 Opposed to Johnson was Nick Gull lop, whom Donovan probably started because the Senators presented four left-hand batters. Cullop was reached for seven hits, but kept them well scattered. He was steady, and his mates backed him up well, two double Pays helping to stave of impending trouble for tle little southraw
 Maisal was on second base, and han .dled himself nicely. Baker was also in the, game, but failed to register a safe blow, in spite of the shouts from the crowd urging him to hit 'er over the fence.
 With two down in the first inning. Peckinpaugh drew a walk, but Pipp Manned for the dnal out Fosters CT rors gave Cullop '1ife'' in the third but he never saw tre next sack. Old ring opened the Yanks' fifth with a hit between Leonard and Mcbride. the only safe bow recorded by the visi- tors .Maisel hit into double play and Walters fled to Smith An error by Judge put Magee on the sacks in the sixth. but he was brown out steal ing, and after this inning. Johnson sent the Tanks back to the bench as fast as they came to bat.

The Vanishing Minors

It has been just fifteen years since the National Association of Profession al Minor Leagues was launched In Chicago At that meeting Michael H. Sexton. the present president, was elected to the executive job. and John H. Farrell was elected secretary, po- sition he still holds. In the fifteen years that the association has been in existence considerably more than a hundred minor circuits have been under it's protection. At times as many as half hundred leagues have been on the association's roll, but at present there are less than half that number. Only six of the circuits en- rolled in 1902 are now left--the Inter- then the Eastern; the West ern, the Southern. the Northwestern, then the Pacific Northwest; the Three I, and the New York State.

BROOKLYN BY BEATING GIANTS
 RECAlNS LEAD

New York, Sept. 6-The Brooklyn Robins showed 5000 fans at the Polo Grounds yesterday that they are still far from beaten in their fight for the National League pennant. Coming from behind in fhe seventh inning. they rushed the defenses of the Giants and smashed their way to a to 2 victory.
 AS the Phillies toose the scalp of the Boston Braves, the result of the battle at the Brush. Stadium puts Will bert Robinsonis warriors at the top of the percentage column in all Greater New York standings.
 ( This is a somewhat startling state of affairs ito those fanatics at the Hub, who confidently prophesied that if the Braves once took the lead they never would be headed. From a strictly Manhattan point of view the encounter of yesterday was not thrill ing. Even when the Giants were ahead. they. as well as the spectators. appeared to feel that theirs was but a temporary advantage.
 Herzog and Zimmerman kept up a semblance of lighting spirit. but it was only a reflection of the real battle glow, It was not that the Giants did not do their best, for they did. It was only that isai they snatched the victory they might have looked at each other and said: Now that we haveSwon another game, what are we going to do with it?" One team was playing for a pennant; the other was playing out a schedule.
 The big bat of Zack Wheat figured largely in his team's, success. His two doubles. together with an error, drove in three of .Brooklyn's five runs. Tn the fourth frame Benny Kauff took one of his healthy wallops at the ball and connected. The stricken sphere never stopped until it collided with the seats in the right field stand and Benny smiled la golden smile as he carefully touched all the bases
 Fred Anderson. McGraw's Federal League spitball hurler, went along smoothly until the seventh inning. Then the Robins bounced upon him like a collection of angry hawks.

Especial to The Farmer)

New London, Sept. 6-A good ex- hibition of twirling by Shanty House fell by the wayside yesterday when the Planters beat Bridgeport in hard fought II inning game by to O.. House held the leaders in check un- til the final round when wild throw to the plate by Duggan allowed the winning run to batter over.
 Reiger. who pitched for New Lon- don, had the Hustlers eating out of his hand. With men on bases he was bear In one inning Bridgeport had men on first and third with one down. Howie Baker was up but Reiger fam ned him and then whiffed Otto Dein- finger for good measure. Blake made startling catch and Horkheimer's fielding was fine. In the 11th Dowd started with double and Weiser sim gled. Dowd ran for the plate and scored when Duggan's throw went to the stand. The score:

amid the other seven organizations which compose that astute body. This would give the crack hurler an aver age of slightly over eight games of the goose egg variety per season. a record which eclipses any other in the history of the national game in major leagues. Grover also holds record in the minors which would hold good with any other record ever framed up by minor league hurler. While with the Syracuse team in 1910 out of thir- ty- five complete games he worked in for that club he had fifteen scoreless games to his credit, so it will be seen that Grover always had the habit.

Manager Healy of the Bridgeport cured Pitcher Pennington, regarded as the best twirler in the Eastern cir cult. Pennington was one of the men taken by the league when the Lowell and Lawrence clubs disbanded. The youngster has been one of the main- stays of the Lawrence club all season.
 He did so well that he is almost sure
 to be drafted by some major league club.
 The league retains title to Penning- ton and several other valuable players
 but they will be assigned to different clubs for the balance of the season.
 Springfield gets Larry Mahoney, the fast Lawrence shortstop. New Haven secures Outfelder Howard and Catcher
 Murphy of Lawrence. All Lowell
 players except Outfielder Simpson
 were released outright. Jack Egan of this city, who has been catching for Lowell, was given his release. It is expected Pennington will join Bridgeport today. He will probably be used against New Haven in Sun days game. The National league race was fur
 ther complicated yesterday by the
 Phillies' victory in Boston and the
 Brooklyn triumph over the Giants. The Phillies have been coming with rush lately. Alexander has been pitching wonderful ball while Demaree and Rixey have also been doing their share. Morans men are booked for another double header today and the result will have an important bearing on the pennant fight.

However that may be, the match sure ly reached a plane which is seldom seen in any tournament
 It was a battle of speed and wits and infinite skill with the racquet, and the margin of difference was ever so slight. Near the end it was condition which told the story. Johnston could mot maintain the pace. His slight if gure tired under the strain, and Will Hams snatched away the coveted hon. or

The Colorado rooters have been accus- toned to watching boys who were willing mixers and wanted to give the fans run for their money. They should realize that this is the day of the business man in the ring. Foxy gentlemen like Welsh don't attempt to give thrilling exhibition. All they get inside the ropes for is to count the house and grasp their opponent lov- ingly when danger threatens.
