Camel of the Blues.
New York, May 13-The four no.
hit games hurled by major league
preachers during the first month of
the 1917 season have established new
record in this department of profess
sional baseball and created an unusual
amount of interest among close fol-
levers of the game. The records show
that April IA Cicotte, of the Chicago
Americans, shut out the st. Louis
Browns without a hit April "a Mo-
gridge, Of the New York Americans,
performed a similar feat against the
Boston Red Sox.
Toney, of the Cincinnati Nationals,

for nine innings against Cincinnati
and Toney May 2, when not until the
tenth period that Kopf broke the big
Cub twirler's string with singles.
The major league annals for the
past seventeen years show that the
great number of no-hit games pitched
in any one season was in 1908, when
there were four in the American and
two in the National League. In 1900

Cincinnati, Ohio, May 12-The state
ment of President Johnson of the
American League that there would
not be any baseball in the league in
1918 if the war continues, caused con-
siderable discussion among the Gin
cinnati fans. Opinion differed as to
closing the gate on professional base
ball While many fans said that John
son had the right view, others held
that cutting off sport during times of
war do more harm than good; that
the public generally should have
