Johnson Not Only Twirls Shut
Out Ball, But Slashes Out
a Home Run.
By WILLIAM PEET,

Walter Johnson simply toyed with the
New York Yankees in the opening game
or the series here yesterday afternoon,
beating them 2 to 0, allowing but one hit
and striking cut eight batsmen.
Bill Donovan's invaders were helpless
before the Speed King" only twenty
nine men out Of a possible twenty-seven
facing johnson, and not a member Of the
visiting crew reaching second base.
Johnson himself added to the gayety
Of the occasion by jammlng the ball to
the left field corner of the lot and COM
pleting the circuit for a home-run. It
was easily the longest clout inside the
Florida avenue Enclosure this season. The
ball bounded up against the bleachers
and would have hoped in had it not
landed close to the boards.
Opposed to Johnson was Nick CulIop,
whom Donovan probably pitched because
the Nationals presented four left-hand
batters. CullOp was reached for seven
hits, but kept them well scattered. Gull
Iop was also steady and backed up by
alright support, two weIl-executed dou-
bic plays staving OF impending trouble
for the little southpaw.
Donovan started Frank Baker and Fritz
Maisel against the Nationals Yesterday
Baker has not been in a ball game for
more than a month on account of IN
yutles' "nLe malsel mas only taken part
In a few contests. Maisel played second
base and handled himself nicely. Baker
failed to register a safe blow, in spite of
the shouts from the crowd ito hit 'er
over the fence"
With two down in the first inning,
Peckinpaugh drew a walk but Pipp
famed for the final out. Fosters error
gave Canop a life" In the third, but
he never saw the keystone sack. Oldring
opened the Yanks' fifth with a hit be-
tween Leonard and Mcbride, the only
safe blow recorded by the visitors. Mai
sci hit into a double play and Walters
HE'D TO Smith. An error by Judge put
Magee on the sacks in the sixth but he
was thrown out stealing, and after this
Inning Johnson sent the Yanks back to
the bench as fast as they came to bat.
The Griffmen could do little with Gull
Top until the fifth, when the first run Of
the game splashed over Smith had
Tanned when Shanks pOked a single u.
LETT and stole second. Judge walked, and
then along came Mcbride with a slashing
rouble down the left field foul line, scor-
ing Shanks Henry flied to Magee and
Judge was doubled up at the plate
Leonard and Foster both singled in
turn to start the Nationals sixth. and
when Maisel tossed out Foster at sec
ond. Leonard pulled up on third A double
steal was attempted, but Leonard was
caught at the plate and kicked so strenu-
Ously at Umpire Evans decision that the
NounEster was fired out Of the game, Raw
Morgan replacing him.
JohnsOn's home run in the eighth, as
described in the foregoing represented
the Nationals other tally. The score:

make Freddy Welsh just that much rich

report reached The American Sunday
night that Charley White had to post
$500 with Referee Billy Roche. who

1t was further alleged that the money

viCtion that Welsh would surely be given
the decision by Roche II both men were

round. They accepted that as almost 8

1t is well known that Roche is very
friendly 10 the English champion and to
Harry Pollok, welsh's manager. The
boxing writer's all mentioned this fact in
their comment
Welsh is rather an unpopular champion.
He is exceptionally clever. but a light
hitter. Since winning the title from Will

in London he has played rather safe.

and then only for ten rounds and in no.

big DAY FOR GORE
in Tennis TOURNEY
Dumbarton Player Beats Hancock in
Singles and Scores With Bethel
in Doubles.

Yesterday was a big one for Albert
J. Gore in the annual fall tennis tourna-
ment of the Columbia Country Club, as
he went into the final rounds in both
the mems singles and doubles classes.
In the former, he beat ]. NJ. Hancock
In the semi-hnals, while Hancock and
Lou" Doyle fell at the hands of he
and w. A. Bethel, of Chevy Chase, in
the doubles.
The match between Hancock and Gore
was one of the best of the tournament.
Although Gore won in straight sets, yet
the big Dumbarton player pushed him
to the limit In the first set Hancock
seemed to have the better OF II, but Gore
was always on hand with some brilliant
tennis at critical stages when points
meant games. On several occasions Han
cock started a promising rally, only to
have 1t ''nipped in the bud" by some
particularly clever shots on Cores part.
The latter's service seemed to be excep-
uonally effective and he owes his victory
largely TO this and TO his strong reverse
stroke, which stood him in good stead at
all times.
Gore took the first set IS, but i'm
proved in the second and won it by 6-3,
although the play in this one was really
much closer and more interesting than
the score would Indicate
Following this match, Gore and Bethel
took the courts against L. !. Doyle and
Hancock, and although the whole match
was replete with brilliant plays and long
rallies, the Gore Bethel team looked to
be the best and this was proven by the
results.
Several matches in the mems consols-
tons and women's singles were gotten
out of the way and the event will prob
ably end Friday. Summaries:
