NEGROES GOING NORTH.

Negroes are still moving Northward
in large numbers and will do so until

lower than those offered. Other ad-

JOHNSON BELITTIlES SUIT.
Saws Ball Did Not Accuse Lavan and
Pratt of Dishonesty.

ST. Louis. Sept. lib. = Johnson,
president of the American league,
came to st. Louis yesterday at the re-
quest Of Phil Ball, chief owner Of the
st. Louis club, for consultation re-
garding the damage suit filed against
Bail by John Lavan, shortstop, and
Derrill Pratt, second baseman Each
player asked $4,000 for alleged SIAN
derous statements which Ball was
reported to have made in an interview
published in a ST. Louis newspaper.
President johnson bclittled the
suit. He said the words laying
down." which Ball was quoted as
saying used in reference to the work
of st. Louis players, did not imply
dishonesty, but merely indifference
and lack of ambition. Furthermore,
he said, Mr. Ball did not specify La
van and Pratt as laying down.

L0WLY ATHLETICS
EASY FOR YANkS
Gothamites Capture Pair Of
Games in Quaker City

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-THE YAM
KEGS swooped down on Connie Mack's
tnoffensive tailenders yesterday and
whipped them in both ends of a dou-
BILE header by 10 to / ad 5 to l.
Mack tried out several recruits. One
Of these was Ralph Sharman, an out
fielder who had a trial with the Giants
and another was Bailey, formerly of
McAleSter, Okla.
1t is questionable if the Athletics
would have made a run off the pitch
ing of Ray Fisher in the first game
had it not been for the fact that the
Yankees had ten TALES chalked on
the board when the Athletics went to
bat in the ninth session. Fisher
tossed up the ball in this inning with
the idea of retiring the side on flies
as quickly as possible and the locals
managed to bunch three hits for a
run. Up to this inning the Athletics
had collected only two hits.
Any idea that there was to be a
| contest was deity removed by the
Yankees in the second inning, when
they battered the opposing hurlers
| for four solid blows, interspersed
| with two passes and brace of err
| rors. Baker was the batting hero of
|
| and a pass in five times up.
| The second game saw the Mack

up to assure a second victory for New
| York. Ed Monroe, a rookie who has
been used several times as a pinch
| pitcher made his first start and re-
manned on the mound for the full nine
innings.
