Meanwhile Walt John
son ROOsts On Bench
With Nothing To DO

Clark Griffth did not pitch Wal
ter Johnson in the Chicago series.
That was his business, or course,
for 20 start tho Swede would have
made him work with only two days
rest. Grin has an alibi there.
II has been Grifiths custom all
season, however, TO send johnson
in TO hurl the last inning or two 10
save close game whether he has
had one, two or three days OF rest.
Yesterday Jim Shaw was removed
In the ninth with one out and Terry
on third The score was tied. IN
der ordinary circumstances Johnson
would have finished the inning.
Any manager would have sent in
the bcst pitcher he had az that
stage, just 20 keep faith with other
pennant contenders Bill Donovan,
who is bound 10 Detroit by every
tie OF loyalty and friendship and
gratitude, never tried harder 10 win
series than he did In Detroit just
because he wanted 10 play fair with
the league.
Griffith replaced Shaw with Thorn
as, raw rookie Thomas immedi.
ately unleashed a wild pitch that
scored Terry and handed the White
Sox the game Washington doesn't
strike another contender ior week,
and Grin1th can't plead that he was
saving Walter for anybody. Prob.
ably the Tigers will debate the mat
ter with him in the four game series
that starts here on Sept %
The Red Soy. too, appreciated

games and has lost 20 this season,
yet he doscrres 10 0e called one OF
the creates pitchers in the game.
Sounds rather strange doesn't It,

performers as Johnson and Alexan.

is worthy OF the comparison.
Oh, Joe Bush, Of the Athletics
That explains II, does It not? Any
pitcher who can win game with
such bunch OF bushers and mis-
fits ne Connie Mack has been try

IA more to surpass the Washington

Well, Joe Bush has won / 5 games
to date This is exactly one-half
OF the Athletics victories. What
twirler ever won one-half OF his
clubs total victories before? Wal
ter Johnson has won about 40 per

great Alexander has won about one

Joe Bush won his first fame

RUSSIAN FLEET EXTENDS SCOPE
 OF ITS ACTIVITY

Petrograd, March 6-The Russian Black sea fleet is extending the scope of its operations far to the westward of Trebizond and has bombarded the mouth of the Terma river, where a fleet of sailing vessels had taken ref uge- The Terma is 21O miles west of Trebizond-
 Thirty miles east of the Terma. the fire of the warshipe destroyed barri- cades and depots and many Turkish craft Along the coast line included between these two points, the Russians during the last few days, have sunk more than 30 sailing vessels laden with war supplies.
 The civil population of Trebizond is reported to have virtually all left the city, those remaining falling victims, according to advices received here, to the dem oralized Turkish soldiers who are said to be footing stores and houses and creating a reign of terror
 The Russian front southward of the Caucasian theatre extends for a dis tance of 27O miles Military critics emphasize the caution and delibera- ton which are characterizing the ad- vance along this whole front, the diff fcuIties of which multiply daily with the increa sing distance from the Rus sian basis in contrast with the inpetu- osity of the earlier days of the cam Daign.

DIDN'T SHOOT TO
 KILL MARSHALL ADVISES CORONER
Pulled Trigger Only To Brighten" Peter Deas, is
 Negro's Testimony.

'T didn't shoot to kill him. I shot to frighten him. was told he had a gun and I was afraid he would kill me-"
 This is the statement made today to Coroner John J. Phelan by Joseph Marshall held for killing Peter Deas during a row last Saturday night in the shack at 584 Iranistan avenue.
 Continuing Marshall told the cor oner that a fight started between Mrs. Violet Diggs of 1920 Chapel St, New Haven, and her brother, Robert Valentine because the latter would not pay his weekly room rent. All are negroes. Mrs. Diggs furnished the shack and rented to the men coming here from New Haven each week to collect her rent. Marshall said when he interfered to save the woman from a. beating at the hands of her brother, Deas struck him. with a lighted lamp.
 He said he was knocked down on his bed and he thought Deas was reaching for a, revolver when he drew his own revolver from beneath his pill low and fired. Marshall is held with out bail. Mrs. Diggs, who says she did not see the shooting, is held in $500 bail The bonds for her brother are $1, 900. They have not been able to obtain bail The cases have been con tinued for trial until after the cor orer's investigation.
 Charles Coleman and Albert Peter son, who were witnesses of the shoot ing, agreed in the main with Mar sha1Ps story. Marshall fired twice they said one of the bullets going into Deas' left temple. After the shooting Marshall fled from the house and went to @ lunch room where he ate a hearty meal.
 Sergeant John O'Connen caught Marshall. He with Policemen Jere- miah Lavin and Thomas Walsh were in the barn in the rear of the house when about an hour later Marshall returned. Sergeant O'Conne1I grabbed him and the latter handed over the gun and admitted that he had done the shooting. He was taken to police headquarters where he made con- fession.

Washington, March 6-The House rules committee today agreed on and will bring into the House tomor- row a special rule for four hours debate on the McLemore resolution warning Americans off armed ships of the European beligerents.

 President Wilson had an engage ment to confer with Representatives Bonnet, of New York, and Lenroot, of Wisconsin, members of the rules committee, which is to pave the way for a vote on the armed ship issue, while MT. Bryan had a luncheon en- gagement with Representative Bailey at a hotel within a stones throw of the capitol

PURDY-WATTS CASE ASSIGNED
 FOR 3RD TRIAL
Jury Will Pass on Evidence In Sensational Suit, Be-
 fore Judge Gager.

The sensational will case of Samuel A. Purdy, administrator, against Stan ley Watts, an employe of the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,, 8 suit which has already been tried twice in the superior court, is assigned for it's third trial here tomorrow when Judge Ga ger and jury will pass upon the evil dence.
 Purdy, representing certain heirs of Sidney Watts, who died in Westport several years ago, claims Stanley Watts failed to properly support his father during his lifetime. Young Watts v-as given the deed to his fa- ther's Westport property and the pres ent action against him Is for $25, 900 damages.
 It was claimed that the elder Watts was addicted to drink and that he was unduly influenced by his son to sign the deed by which the young man re- ceived the property. Sidney Watts committed suicide. In the first trial of the present suit jury set aside the deed by which the son received the property but upon appeal to the su- preme court error was found
 The next trial was held before the eourt alone and that time the deed was held valid. It was decided that the question of damages should be tried as a separate issue.
