.EvERS BROKE IN AS BIG LEAGUER
 JUST BY ACCIDENT

4Ac6f8&Mt Mtzas done many a. good turn foSal aly a n,aa, but never more than it did to Johnny Evers, for it was by accident that he broke into professional baseball. He was born in Troy. N. Y.. July 21, 1883. He is an Sanbidextrous player. or in plan English, he uses both hands in the game, besides his head. He bats left and throws right handed. He play ed his first professional game with Troy in 1902. He got into that game because a player failed to report, and, as he says himself, might still be working in a collar factory if it hadn't been for that accident. AThen came the time when the Cubs were short pitcher. Frank Selee heard that a cor1king good twirler could be had at Troy; so he began negotiations.
 An exhibition game was staged so that Selee could see how the pitcher. whose name was Hardy, comported himseff. He did we'll and Selee of fered $1,0o0 for him. The Troy club refused the offer. demanding $1,500. selee finally decided to accept on con. dition that that kid who played short would be thrown in.s That kid was Johnny Evers.
 The bargain was closed, to the great i delight of the Troy club. which was i glad indeed to get rid of ''that pest Evers. That's how Johnny broke into the big leagues. He has since taken part in five worlds championship games and with Tinker and Chance formed one of the greatest infieldl that was ever known.

SURPRISE WHEN JOHNSTON LOSES
 IN UTICA TOURNEY

 7 Utica, July 21-Upsets of most sensational character ushered in. the >opening day of play in the mems Red Cross round robin singles and doubles lawn tennis tournament yesterday on the clay courts of the Yahnundasis Golf club.
 As an instance of the way things went, it may be mentioned that Will liam M. Johnston, national title holder of 1915 and ranked a No. 2 last year, was defeated at 90, 6@ by Harold A Throckmorton, national interscholastic champion, youth ranked only in the second ten.
 Almost paralleling this reversal of form was the downfall of George M. Church, No. in the national ranking of 1916. at the hands of young Chuck Garland. of Pittsburgh, a player sew eral degrees removed from the frs. flight Garland trumphed by score of 1O-8. 6-4.
 If Johnston was unable to uphold the prestige of his native California Robert L. Murray. another son of the Golden West, gave proof of his power by winning the only singles match he played yesterday, defeating Throck- morton in brilliant three-set en- counter by a score of 1-6, 6-a, 6-1

The White sdx played as the season zhe came through in great good ball as any other club bar none the last half of the season. but they were set back at the start and the competition which they encountered has never been excelled for well bal anced power. No you can't play your stars for what they have done. You win today's ball game on the merit of today's showing in the field. What you were yesterday makes no mater ial differences to anyone except the statisticians.
 Another point to be remembered is this: It takes time to amalgamate a team of stars. If I am the greatest pitcher in the game and go to a club which also numbers the greatest out flder. have some faith in my own opinion. So has the greatest outf1eld- CT. It is human nature and it is but just that things should be so.

WHITE SOx CHANGES IN
 TENANT RACE LOOK GOOD
Manager Rowland of Chicago Team Discusses Ability of
 Different Players Club.

The White sox great spurt for the pennant has given Rowland a fine chance to discuss his managerial pol icies in the August Baseball Magazine. We quote as follows:
 They say, Comiskey spent a fortune to build up the White Sox-he did. They claim he has added the strength to the club which should bring it home a winner-and he has. They said the White Sox should win and when they didn't what was the in evitable conclusion2 The manager, of course, incompetent leadership, the
 You cannot buy a pennant.. It is same old story-~in the same old way. conceivably possible but it is practical s1y impossible. Could some manager gather Ty Cobb and Triss Speaker and Walter Johnson and a few others on one club much might be done But,ef course,as a practical matter it couldn't be done. The seven other club own CTS would not thus suffer their lead ing stars to go. And if they should even then there would be no absolute guarantee of a pennant. Say it once and for all, then lay it away on the bhelf among moth balls and camphor. You can't buy pennant."
 Great strength was added to the White Sox by the acquisition of Col Hns and Jackson. I regard Collins as the prince of second basemen. con sider Jackson the greatest natural hit ter the game ever saw.
 But believe it is but fair to admit that the White Sox last year were not well balanced ball club. We were not dependable at first base and third wa. a source of much worry. Two of my l Faber was incapacitated by sickness l when he was going great and needed him most Scott, one of our star twir1

-@ MORE LIGHT IN INGRAM CASE
 ON FINAL DAY

New York, July 21-The McGraw4, Population Case is in. The final testimony was taken yesterday at Na4iona1 League headquarters, and nov the minutes of the meetings will be copied and sent to each President of league club and a, decision reached by mail vote.
 Dr. Frank Finley of Pittsburgh, McGraw's missing witness, was pres ent. He testified to having heard practically the same conversation be- twen McGraw and Sid Mercer which McGraw and Urban .McAnerney had previously reported, but Dr, Finley admitted that Mercer was in the room five or ten minutes and that asdde. from the few sentences which 50 often have been repeated he could not re- member the conversation that occu- pied the balance of the time. .~
 pr. Finley alsp admitted that there was some conversation and that to the best of his recollection Mercer did not do much of the talking, but he, could not remember who did do most of the talking. He said that he should judge that he was seated about fifteen feet from McGraw and that he heard the first p0AS OA IAiC SOANSISdtlOH olStluCt1y when McGraw told Mercer that he
 did not care what he said about his fine and suspension and to go, as far as he pleased. sz
 Dr. Finley denied that he had heard McGraw say:ri.I would give ..$1oo to have Tener here now to tell him what, think of him. -aMcAnerney, Mo. Graw's other witness, testified that the manager of the Giants had said. these words. which appear practicaHys verbatim in the published and dis puted review. -. The witness testified that consider ably later McGraw in company with himself and McAnerney, met Mercer in the lobby of the hotel and that Mercer handed the manager of the Giants some papers. Dr. Finley walked on and did not hear the con- versation between the two.
 Martin W. Littleton, counsel for the baseball writers, then recalled Mercer to the stand When he testffed at the first heariag Mercer had said that in writing the Interview he did not use McGraw's exact language. MT: Littleton asked him to state what Ac- Graw actually. had said. It fnlmedi- ately became evident that neither Mo l IraW s counsel nor the league wished
 to hear anything of the kind or. to
 have it spread on the minutes. l MT. Ward objected strenIousIy. say
 ing that that. ground already had
 been covered. Mir. Littleton took i1n-
 mediate issue with him, pointing out
 the fact that Mercer never had re- ] peate6 nor been asked to repeat Mc- Graw's exact language. that the pri-
 mary purpose of the hearing was to obtain the whole truth and that ha believed the question proper one John Conway @Toole, who presided
 at the hearing. promptly sustained Mr. Wards. objections.
 l. The discussion verged on the acri@
 monious. we have heard the things
 that MT. Mercer has been going
 around and telling. said John M I Ward, with considerable heat -sS.sI
 want to tell the truth. if you will let ! me" retorted Mercer. I This line of testimony was ruled out on a technfcaltty. as everybody seemed to be fearful of hearing 1e s- Graw's actual words

WALSH WITH BRAVES

Ed Walsh, the former pitching star
 of the Chicago White Sox, will try his luck with the Boston Braves. It was announced from his home in Meriden that the big hurler has signed two year contract with Boston and will report next Monday. Walsh was giv- en his unconditional release by Chi cago before the season opened. He has been working out this summer and McGraw was at one time consid7 ering him for a place with the Giants. Walsh thinks his arm is all right again and if that is the case he Xviii prove a valuable man for the Braves
 I Moose Miller, the tall first base man, was the only, one of the New Haven players to be caught in the
 draft. Miller is married and lives in West Haven. The fact that he has a wife to support will make him ex-

 against New Haven. He didn't get a
