Indian Johnson Could
 Not Secure Place on
 Force in Los Angeles

The Indian, George Johnson, has pitched pretty good ball for the Yer non Coast League team this year much better than he did last year. And thereby hangs story.
 The Chief spent the winter in Los Angeles. He got acquainted around among some of the city hall gang and concluded he would like to be po- 1iceman. Wearing a blue uniform and a star just appealed to the Redman's soul He worked the wires and was promised a place on the Los Angeles police force if he could pass the ex- aminations But he was plainly told that he was too fat to ever be con- sidered and that he should first get into physical shape.
 So the Indian took his 225 pounds of Cherokee meat out on the high ways. He ran miles. He hopped and he skipped and he jumped. He rolled and he took the baths. Finally George Johnson concluded he was fit and he presented himself for examination.
 The police examiners put him on the scales. All he weighed was POS pounds. Then they pulled the meas the figures and shook their heads. What's the matter?" asked John son anxiously.
 "You weigh IS pounds too much for your height" announced one of the examiners. Go out and take off more | weight
 'I will like -" said Indian John son. "I am in good shape to pitch, anyway" And with his visions of blue uniform and star and six-shooter fad ing he went to President Tom Dar- mody of the Vernon club, told him how he had trained so faithfully and asked for little advance money. Now he's earnnig 1t.

 Crowds to See Games

This is clipped from the sporting page of the London Times of recent issue:
 The war has taught England a wholesome respect and a growing fondness for the sports of other na- tions, but none of these new sports have become as popular as baseball. Owing largely to the advent of 3OO,- 900 sporty Canadians in our midst, the game of baseball is fast becoming popular in this country Since the Military Baseball League was formed by J. C.. Lee of Central Buildings Westminster, s. w., large crowds are attending games in all parts of the country.

TANKS GET SEVEN RUNS IN FIRST AND
 BEAT. CLEVELAND

New York, June 9-Cleveland thrust a. victory at the Yankees at the Polo Grounds yesterday by a score of to 4, and the lads from the shores Of Lake Erie were so persistent in their gift that the Yankees couldn't have re- fused it if they had cared to. Leading the Clevelands in the charitable pur- poses were two pitchers-Bagby and Gould. Both of these fingers were so wild in the first inning that they forc- ed two runs in with passes. Bagby never did locate the plate, and evil dently doesn't know yet where It IS situated.
 While the Cleveland boxmen were impersonating wild and uncouth f11ls, Ray Caldwell was spinning his pest game of the season. With such a great advantage as seven runs in the open ing inning, Caldwell was not forced to extend hmself, and it was all so easy that he let down perceptibly in the seventh inning.
 The first inning was whole game in itself and took almost as long. Thirteen Yankee batsmen stepped up to the plate in that time and all the runs were coined on six bases on balls,
 
 wamby. Hughey High had a cinch that inning. He went to the bat twice and each time got a pass. Two bases
 on balls in one inning is more than any ball player has right to dream
 of. Bagby and Gould, however, were
 so wild that for a time it looked as II
 it would be necessary to send out
 squad of cops to capture and LOCK
 them up. Lee Magee, the first Yankee up in the opening inning, skied out to Sneaker. High walked and Ma1sel rolled a .grounder to Chapman, Wno threw to wambsgans for corceout' and Wamby muffed the throw so neat ly as you please. Pipp got a pass ana filled the bases Baker walked and forced High over with the first run.
 Hendrvx singled to short land scored Maisel. the bases still being loaded. Peckinpaugh then made the longest single of his career. He Whanged a hit to left which struck the top or the fence, coming within few inches or going into the bleachers P1pp ana Baker counted on the crash, but Peck
 got only as far as first.
 Manager Lee Foh1 then gave Bagby marching orders and sent him to the bench. Gould ascended the h1ng1ns l knoll and Bagbyj from the bench be- gan to tell Umpire Connolly that he | never could, couldn't now, and never would know how to umpire. Connolly added a chapter to the marching or ders and told Bagby to buy an ele- yated ticket and go south as soon as possible.
 With Gould in the box, Al Walters
 slapped single to center, sendlns Peck to third. Caldwells grasser | hoped off Wamby's feet and bounded over to Chapman, who threw the
 pitcher out at first. Peck scoring Tn l the meantime. Here's where Gould l got wild and began to shower the
 Yankees with gifts.
 | Magee, the second time up in that | inning walked, and High got his sec ond deadhead ticket. Maise1 likewise
 sauntered and forced Walters ovSr with another run. Pipp brought the parade to a close with a fly to Graney
 In that inning the Yankees came over l the plate so fast that the fans thought I it was part of their military drill.

 UMPIRE BYRON
 AFTER CONTEST

Cincinnati. June 9.-After the game Giants and Reds, Manager McGraw, resenting what he considered an in- sulting remark made to him by Um- pire Byron, struck the latter a hard blow in the mouth, virtually knocking him out. Byron failed to come back,'' but walked to his dressing room bleed ing profusely and in a dazed condi- ton mentally and with wobbly legs.
 Ground Keeper Schaun, of Zealand park who was behind McGraw. threw his arms around the managers neck, and was imn ediately bounced on by the usually sedate and inoffensive party, Whoa BilP' Raridan, of the Giants. In the fstic encounter be- tween them that followed, Raridan beat his man to frazzIe in short or der. Byron, in passing McGraw in the runway from the field to the club house. said: 'I hear you were run out of Baltimore?'' @ Whats that?'' asked McGraw. Bly, ron repeated the remark.
