Whitaker Strong in Pinches and

The strong Tufts College base ball
team continued its winning streak yes

the Brookland grounds by a 2-to-1
score. The game went eleven grueling
innings and furnished the large crowd
the prettiest pitchers duel seen on the

Rogers behind the plate, while Tufts

score the university teams only run,
after White had sacrificed him to third

fast ones to get by him. This run was

In its half of this inning Tufts counted
when Armstrong was passed, stole sec

made on Carrolrs fly. This run tied
the game. and both teams battled for

Georgetown Wakes Up in Ninth
and Beats Johns Hopkins.
PINCH HITTERs TURN TRICK
Defendorf Weakens After Pitching
Brilliantly for Visitors for
Eight Innings.

A ninth inning rally which netted
four runs saved Georgetown from a
defeat at the hands of the Johns Hop
kins University team on the Hilltop
pers' grounds yesterday afternoon. At
the beginning of the ninth frame Hop
kins had everything its own way. and
it looked very much as if it would
win with plenty to spare. but the local
men suddenly jumped on Defendorf' s
shoots, which up to that time had
proved puzzling. and when the smoke
had cleared away they found themselves
on the big side of 5-4 score.

Foster should have had three hits-a

not fortunate in placing his longest hit

happened that the Yankees got three

Joe Gedeon got three hits today, hut

another occasion he dropped one in

his other hit was bounder through the
box which Harper should have knocked
down.
In no game that the Grffmen have
been in this spring have they hit the
ball as hard and as often as in the
game today. Fisher was the easiest

YANKEES TAKE CONTEST
BY A SCORE OF 3 TOT
Hard Drives of Grifmen Caught
Readily, While Donovan's Men
Are Lucky in Batting.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

NEW YORK. April 15-It is
questionable whether the annals
OF base ball history record an
other instance in which a team
hits the ball hard with men on the
bases and gets but one run in nine
innings. when ordinarily it should
have had nine or ten. The i'll luck
for the Griffmen today was
nothing short OF marvellous. There
were SO many occasions when the
visitors had men on the bases and
then the batter did his share and
met the ball squarelv. only to
have 1t go right at some waiting
fielder There were no less than
nine such instances during the
game. and every one OF them
would, nine times out of ten.
have produced runs.
In the very opening inning the
visitors had a man on third and
first, but could not score. In the
second inning, when they scored
their only run, they had two on
when line drive by Harper was
right at Gedeon, and the side was
retired.
Nothing happened in the third, but
IN the fourth the breaks again went
the wrong way. Judge started with
single TO center and Shanks was hit by
pitched ball. Jameson cieverly
dumped a bunt down the third base
line and beat it out. filling the bases
with none out. Henry hit in front of
the plate and Nunamaker got the ball
and touched the plate with it before
Judge could reach it. Mcbride then hit
a sharp grounder right over the third
base, Baker put out his hand, the ball
stuck and, instead of caromng off. it
lay dead. He touched the bag and
then got the ball to Pipp in time to
make double play. and what looked
like most promising inning went for
naught-
Bad Luck in Fifth.
The fifth furnished worse luck Har-
per opened this with a double to right
field. Morgan followed with a line
drive to center for which Maisel did
not have to move foot, and Foster
followed with identically the same
kind of drive. and then Milan popped
up to first and Harper was left on sec

drive been between fields the dam

ont Mcbride lined to right and Gil
hooley was in the way of it without
running foot. Then Williams drove a
hard grounder to Baker, and the lat
ter forced MoelIer at second Morgan
also hit the ball terrificalIy hard and
again it went at Baker, who could not
get out of the way of it and Williams
was forced.
Shanks. starting the ninth, hit sharp
drive along the third base line and
BAKE stabbed it with one hand, re-
firing him. Now comes "A recital of
how the Yankees got their runs which
shows the difference in the breaks.

JOHNSTON OF
FEDS BOUGHT
BY BROOKLYN

New York, Jan. 21.-The visit Of
charley Ebbets to Harry Sinclair
Rorty second street baseball emporftin:
on Wednesday afternoon evidently
brought fruit, as the FIatbush SesSiire
announced yesterday that Outhelder
Jinuay Johnston, known in the Far
ives. as the Ty Cobb of the Coast
IEaEsae. will occupy a Brooklyn 'ocEe~
N9xg SEASON.
Johnston is a Federal Lacquer who
never played in the Feds, as no did
not Sulnp until the 1915 season was
aver Then he signed a three year
Eolltrace with Newark and accepted
81 ,00a bonus. That made him eligible

kfSrceke.
Ebbets has been after Johnston ever.
since he visited the Coast last fall,
svfTcre he heard much of the young
aa;an's prowess in the Native son
xpuntry. He had already closed t:t
the Oakland club in the event that
Jwhastosl would be returned to that
eth.
Judged by his performance in theN
Coast league, Johnston is a, diamond
of the serenest ray, but if you look
over his averages with the Cubs in
1914 he doesn't amount to much. Eb-
bets, however, is buying Johnston on
his Coast showing, and with the hope
shat his great work~last season viii
give him renewed assurance
Johnston first jumped into the lime
light in 1913 when he stole 124 bases
with San Francisco, though he did it
sd ao1 games. The Cubs won the
player that fall, and had to bid
against the Feds for his ! services.
Johnston, however, proved big dis
appointment in Chicago and after
iplaying regularly for about three
weeks was sentenced to the bench
zdxIItia, and finished the season doing
odd pinch-running +obs In 81 games
he stole only three bases.
Last season, with Oakland, Johnston
played the best ball Of his career. hit
ring .342 over a stretch of 20S games
and stealing 81 bases
