Guy Morton Beats Nationals

the second game of the series here yes
terday afternoon. the Indians handing
out a sound trouncing, Z to l.
There seems to be no way OF stopping
the present league leaders, for the In
dians made every hit count took ad-
vantage of each slip up by the home
folks and looked like the greatest ball
club in the world.
Many fans were inclined to blame Um-
ptres OLoughln and Chill for the loss
Of the game but these men, while they
may have missed a few close ones, and
one or two which were not even close,
could not prevent Chick Gandn, Howard,
Roth and others from smashing out base
hits when runners were within striking
distance of the plate.
Joe Boehling started the game in the
box for Washington but wildness in the
second inning, a pair OF singles and a
double in the fourth caused Grif to yank
the south-paw after Joe had past ed
O'Neil in the back TO start the Indians
hfth. Jim Shaw then took the reins and
had absolutely nothing with which to
fool the invaders. Shaw did not survive
the inning. George Dumont being called
in, retiring the side.
Great Work by DumOnt.
Dumont's twirling from the time he en-
tered the box until the end Of the game
was gilt edged, the youngster allowed
but one hit, a scratch by Graney, in
the ninth
The Griffmen averted a shut out in the
closing chapter when Judge walked,
Shanks and Charity singled In turn,
filling the bases and Mcbride hit into a
double play. Judge breezing across the
plate on the two-ply killer.
on Guy Morton the hone folks grabbed
nine hits but they were so nicely scatter
ed over the nine frames that runs were
Impossible, except in the final spasm.
Indians Hit the Bail.
A walk to Roth, GandiTs sacrifice and
Howard's single to left scored a Cleve-
land run in the second inning. Singles by
Speaker and Roth. Gandil's double to
left field added two more in the fourth
and the fifth was a nightmare, when
the Indians batted completely around, a
batter hit Fosters throw TO second to
head off O'Nem which found nobody
home. Graney's single followed by safe
wallops from Roth and Gandn with three
bases on balls tossed in, only produced
four runs
After Dumont had relieved Shaw in
Cleveland's half of the fifth. stopping the
slaughter, the Indians were thoroughly
tanned, but 1t was like locking the stable
door after the horse had been stolen, for
the damake had been inflicted. The score

against big gatherings. Then. again, the
Browns are way down in the race and
never have been much Of a drawing card
here.
Washington fans always turn out when
real attraction comes to the Florida
avenue park. Take Detroit, for instance.
The Tigers are not kicking about the
small crowds, for despite the cold rainy
weather, every game was well patron
lied.
Cleveland came in here last Thursday
and drew 10000 paid admissions that day.
These figures were obtained from Bill
Blackwood, the Cleveland teams secre-
tary.
When 1t comes right down to cases, the
Nationals, considering that Washington
has the smallest population Of any city
in the American League. will outdraw
in the matter of attendance any club in
the league.
For the final game OF the series against
the Cleveland Indians here this after
The Washington herald., 1916-05-20

noon Bert Gallia is slated to pitch.
Klepfer or Bagby will be in the points
for the Indians.
Henri Rondeau made the sensational
catch Of the game yesterday when he
robbed iris Speaker of a regulation
triple in the ninth inning by racing al.
most to the scoreboard and spearing a
long drive with his gloved hand.
Jim Shaw got into his first game of
the season here yesterday when he re-
lleved Joe Boehling with one man on the
bases in the fifth. Shaw did not look
very impressive. but he demonstrated
that he will soon be right, and when
he can take his regular turn in the box
the Nationals will be greatly strength
ened
Guy Morton's victory over the Ma
tionals was his sixth straight this sea-
son. The youngster is pitching fine ball
but, like all the others, he is due for a
beating before very long.
Somebody pulled a cheap joke during
the fag end of the game when E. Law
rance Phillips. the announcer, was asked
to page DR.. hewitt.
DR.. hewitt is our well-known coroner,
and when Phillips called out his name
the score was 7 to in favor of Cleve-
land. Draw your own inferences.
Immediately after today's game the
Nationals and Indians will hike to the
station and board a train for Cleveland.
Both clubs are scheduled to meet on
Sunday in the Sixth City. where a ca
uacity crowd will witness the battle,
providing the weather holds fair.

President Ban Johnson Is in the Capital;
Laughs at Report Washington to Lose Club

Just wait till Ban Johnson hears about
the small attendances in Washington this
season, where the Senators have a great
ball club and nobody goes out to see 'em
play-Big Ban will probably transfer the
team to some other city where the fans
can appreciate a real team.
The foregoing is the substance Of
newspaper article penned by Sid Keener,
Of the St. Louis Times.
Keener goes on to say that when the
Browns were in the Capital recently less
than $500 was turned over to the st.
Louis club as It's share of the gate re-
ceipts.
Mr.. Keener is either running wild on
the bases or else he has been badly mis-
Informed.
President Ban Johnson is in the Capital
and witnessed yesterdays game as the
guest Of President Ben S. Minor, Of the
Washington club.
This talk about my taking steps to
remove the Washington club to some
other city is absurd" said Mr.. johnson
TO the writer.
In the first place I consider Washing
ton one Of the best cities in the American
League circuit. For its size it will out
draw any city in the United States. The
idea Of taking the club out Of Washing
ton has never entered my mind. I am
proud to have the National Capital rep
resented in the American League" added
the league president.
The writer has known Keener for five
years and always regarded him as a level
headed fair-minded baseball writer, con-
scquently is at a loss to know how to ac-
count for this brainstorm.
1t is perhaps true that the Browns did
not draw big crowds here, and that is
easily Iplained-threatening weather, a
circus and other attractions mitigated

Ne WORK, May 19.-The Yanks and De-

single by Nunamaker and a sacrifice fly
by Pipp. Cullop's error in the first was

was done by all the slabmen, and brsl-

CLARA BARTON LAUDED
BY MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN
Accuses Present Red Cross Leaders of
Belittleing Her Memory.

Declaring that Miss Mabel Boardman
and other members of the present Red
Cross society had instituted a persistent
attack on the late Clara Barton. founder
Of the American Red Cross, Mrs. John
A. Logan, in an interview last night,
said the present project Of building a
memorial to perpetuate the memory Of
Clara Barton had grown out of the re-
tusal OF the Red Cross Society to allow
the mention OF Miss BartOn's name in
the memorial building Of the society.
Clara Barton's work" she said lex
tended from the beginning of the civil
war until the time of the formation of
the present Red Cross Society. during
which time she brought the Red Cross
idea from Switzerland and had it adopted
by the United States.
These attacks have been going on
for years. They accuse Miss Barton of
not keeping books during the time when
she was at the head of the Red Cross.
When a soldier is dying on the battle
field and crying for food and drink 1t
is no time to be making out acquisitions
and entries in ledgers.
Red Cross officials persist in attacking
this woman, who probably did more in
her life toward relieving suffering human
ity than all the Red Cross combined
The testimonials which we will have
placed in the new memorial will do more
% testify to her sterling worth than ali
the statements l could make"

'BANGp GO STRAW LIDS,
RAINY DAY ASSISTING
Summer Headgear Must Go Regard,
less of Temperature.

The straw hat gun went of yesterday,

Yesterday was the official funeral day
for the hay lids" and he who ventures
out upon the public thoroughfares under
one, between now and the official resur-

The last summer has been very ac-

hat tribe. The sun has kissed them
with its golden beams and the rain has
doused them with its silver drops, and
they all show a beautiful coat of tan.
But alas, their reign is ended. and king
Kelly now rules supreme.

apiece for the homeless hats. providing
new fall hat was purchased. He ac-

WILL DISCUSS S-HOUR
LAW With PRESIDENT

Judge William L. Chambers, of the
Federal Board of Mediation and Concilia-
ton, will go to Shadow Lawn, N. j., next
week to discuss with President Wilson
the eight-hour workday law for railroad
employees. The attitude of the railways
and Of the men affected will be consid-
cred.
The administration is said to realize
that the railroads may attempt to defeat
the measure through manipulation of
trains and their loads, and that the men
also through desire for overtime, may
contribute to that end.
The railroads, 1t was said may reduce
the number Of freight trains and in
crease the number of cars of each, thus
necessitating slower time and making
opera ton cost under the new arrange
ment appear to be oppressive and even
confiscatory
At the same time, it was stated, they
would be transporting as much goods as
under the present system with the ten
hour day basis
The men, it was stated, have 1t in their
power to obstruct and to delay, so as to
increasf the amount of their overtime,
and thus assist in possible attempt by
the railroads. to overthrow the legisla-
ton.

SAVE MILK JARS and
AVOID PRICE INCREASE
So Producers Head Advises, Also
Citing Duplication of Routes.

That the conservation of milk bottles
will no doubt prove the answer to the
present agitation toward increasing the
price of milk to distributors without al
feeting the retail price. is the opinion
of Judson c. welliver, chairman of the
committee OF the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association.
This opinion is also borne out by DR..
W. c. woodward, health officer of the
District, who in a statement yesterday
said: Il believe that milk production and
distribution would be put on a more prof
table basis IL the dealers would abolish
the practice Of furnishing bottles without
cost to the consumer. The customer who
breaks or loses a milk bottle should be
made to pay for it."
Another point raised by Chairman
Welliver In the nature of a suggestion
toward the cutting down OF delivery ex-
penses, Is that all over the city there
are probably about twenty dealers who
cover the same territory in the course OF
their delivery whereas should the terri
tory be eauitably divided. or fair sys-
tenn of exchanging customers negotiated,
the dealers could probably cut their de-
livery costs % per cent.
This method has been tried with sue
cess in a number of large cities, where
the results obtained have proclaimed its
value Whether local dealers could be
induced to inaugurate such a system is
purely a matter of conjecture, but 1t will
be proposed at the joint meeting of the
producers and distributors on Tuesday.
According to evidence in the hands OF
investigators of the Department OF Agri-
culture and the Department OF Justice
the distribution of milk in most OF the
large cities in the United States is in the
hands of monopolies, and investigation Is
being made with the view Of filing anti
trust suits.
The Department OF Agriculture. which
is already conducting an investigation OF
the cost of city carriage will pursue this
new investigation into the cost of de-
livery OF milk in conjunction with the
first probe. It was announced yesterday
by the department that hearings result
ing from the Investigations in New York
State and New England would begin in
about ten days.

FEDERAL BREAD PROBE
MUST WAIT PRICE RISE

The Federal Trade Commission yester-
day afternoon stated that it had no au-
thority to institute an investigation into
the bread situation until the bakers begin
raising prices, as up to this time there
had been a good bit of talk, but no
definite action.
President P. T. Moran, OF the local
Chamber of Commerce, says that the peo-
pie of Washington should pay more at
tention to the matter OF food costs, and
that the Chamber at its next session
would give consideration to the bread
problem.
President Moran thinks that the six
teen-ounce loaf should be standard, and
that there should be a local law to that
effect, but he is dubious as to whether
such a law would be advisable at the
present time, when bakers are forced to
pay such enormous prices for flour.
