johnson Rules Detroit
Won Game Last Sunday
Old Fox Loses Protest Backed Up by Players Aidavts
Weather Halts All Other Contests Except Tie Game
in Sixth Ciy-Today's Clash Uncertain.

Cleveland, Ohio, June s.-Manager
Griffith today received oficial notifica-
tion from President Ban johnson that the
protest lodged against Sundays game in
Detroit was not allowed. the big chief
refusing to accept the afiidavits Of the
Washington players and backing up his
umpires. who reported that the ball Veach
hit into center field stands bounced from
spot in front Of the ropes and not into
the section reserved for the overflow
crowd. .n...
Grffith had a whole lot to say about
Johnson's decision, but not for publica-
tfon. Naturally, the Old Fox believes
the word of a ball player should carry
as much weight as the word Of an UNI
pire. Ban johnson accepted the report
Of Umpire Connolly and backed him up.
Perhaps the oldest thing about today's
game 'twixt the Grinmen and Indians
OF course. everybody knows that the Old
Fox is saying the most awful things
about the luck of the team, but that is
not such a strange thing. after all-the
most peculiar point about today's hap
pening at League Park was that It was
the only contest staged in either of the
big leagues and 1t was a tie game.
Rain halted the other three games
to be played in Ban Johnson's cir
cult, and the Chicago Phils delphia
scrap in Gov. Tener's division. Wet
grounds. prevented the skirmishes at
New York and Brooklyn. Charley
Dryden, of the Chicago Examiner.
always says by Wireless to the
United States" when he writes a
ba seball classic from the city across
the river from Gotham-and it was so
cold in st. Louis that the athletes had
to hug the fires of their hotel.
Imagine such thing ever happen
ing in st. Louis, will you?
II was one of the very few occa-
sions in several years where seven
games were postponed because OF
weather conditions. and the eighth
could not be finished because Old
King Darkness had to have his say.

Considering the threatening wea ther
here today, there were 1881 fans who
paid real money to see the Nationals
and Indians do battle. Indications for
a pleasant day tomorrow are. uncer-
tain as showers are predicted by the
local forecaster.
Two great catches today robbed
Judge and Gallia of safe hits. Jack
Graney. in the seventh inning. raced
almost to the foul line after Judges
long fly. catching the ball with one
hand. Had this hit gone through,
Judge would have been credited with
a triple. In the ninth inning. Gam
dill leaped into the air and pulled
down. with one hand, a hot liner from
Gallia's bat.
The ball Roth hit in the Indians half
of the ninth was the turning point OF
the ball game. Turner was on second
and Speaker on first when Roth drove
up this Texas Lacquer. Morgan raced
back and got in front of the ball. but
in taking one step he slipped and the
ball got away from him.
After Morgan had picked up the ball
he had plenty of time to peg to second
and turn back iris Speaker, but he
fddled around until 1t was too late.
Griffith and the Washington play
ers raised protest. claiming that this
ball should have been declared an in
field fly by Umpire Chill. backing up
their argument by saying that had
Morgan elected to throw the ball to
second base and had caught Speaker.
then Chill would have ruled an infield
fly. 1t looks as II Grin had just cause
for complaint.
The final game of the series will be
staged here tomorrow. and will bring
together Walter johnson and Guy
Morton. Johnson has not won ball
game for SO long that he is about due
TO come across with one OF his air
tight twirling exhibitions and break
the Nationals losing streak.

OF the Grifmen, Harper was taken out

Gallia passed a pinch hitter purposely and

double play and a rough spot was safe

+ Until the final half of the ninth,
the indians got but. two hits of GaIlia
There was one down in the Cleveland's
ninth when Turner jammed a single
to center. Speaker hunted and beat

pop fly back of Morgan, but Raw slim

Turner and Speaker scored, and on
