NOW
AREON THEPAN
u. S. Fleet Corporation Of.
6cer to Investigate Ques-
ton On All Sports.

New York, July 12.-In view OF
the discussion that has arisen over
the situation resulting from the
employment OF athletes. both pro-
fessional and amateur, by shipyards
and industrial plants, it may be OF
interest that Howard Coonley.
vice president of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, has undertaken
an investigation of conditions as
they exist in the shipbuilding yards
in order to determine whether the
ball players and other athletes who
have been hired by them are doing
efficient work or are nominally en-
gagged as workers while actually
they are supposed to devote their
best efforts to playing baseball.
This official inquiry on the part
OF the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton will. of course. have no effect
on the practices of the steel plants,
ant r-pecially of such concerns as
the Midvale Steel Company. which
as pointed out in these columns
several days ago. had a great many
athletes on its payrolls as welfare
workers" But there Is no doubt
that the effects of the inquiry will
be felt in the steel plants and that
an end will shortly be put to the
practice of engaging athletes un-
der the conditions that seem to
have prevailed up to the present
time. The official attention of the
Fleet Corporation was directed to
the existent state of affairs by SEN
ator Page, of New Hampshire. who
charged that at various shipyards
in Maine men were engaged solely
for the purpose of playing on the
plant baseball team.

The Washington herald., 1918-07-13


One big inning was staged by the
Nationals in which George Dauss was
hammered for q fare-you-wen. The
3-run lead obtained by the Tigers in
the early going was cut down by the
Griffmen i'm the fourth frame as
Walter johnson in the pinch-hitting
role crashed out a triple that placed
the Griffmen out In front. but an error
by Hank Shanks paved the way for
the Jungaleers to draw up on even
terms with the Nationals.
With Walter Johnson leading the
way the Nationals managed TO
squeeze over its winning counter In
the lucky seventh. Barney started
the parade with a crash to left field
and after being advanced by a
sacrifice and Fosters hit. Joe Judge,
Of the work or fight" order, came
through with a. long fly to Cobb that
gave Walter easy rompiRg to the
plate.
Jimmie Shaw started the milling for
the local crew by issuing Donnie
Bush free transportation. Bobbie
Jones whitfield at three but the mighty
Ty Cobb crashed one at such speed
over Howard Shanks' head that a
circuit clout Is today recorded in the
statistics for the Georgia Peach This
was the end of the scoring against
the Pittsburgh Stogie's offerings until
the third when this gentleman OF that
famous Jones family whacked a
double past Frank Schultz. Ty Cobb,
on his second appearance against
Shaw. caught another one on the
nose for two bases and Jones crossed
over. Heilman. Harper and Curry
FNV- In
the fourth and the Nationals went on
a batting rampage in their half of the
session and Jimmy was relieved OF
his burden to make room for walter
johnson as a pinch-hitter.
This was the session which brought
the fans to their feet. as the Nation
ais punched through a quartet of tai
lies. Shank started the chapter with
a blow to center and Frank Schultz
followed with one in the same dtrec-
tion. Val Picinich drew a base on
balls and Johnny Lavan hoisted one
to Harper that Tailed Shanks. Curry
booted Milan's offering and Schultz
crossed the pan leaving three men on
with the stage all set and Walter
johnson doing the batting honors for
Jimmy Shaw. The Saks Company s
sign on the score board was dented
BY the wallOp from the bat of the
slugSing Walter as the pathway was
cleared by a three-base blow which
placed the Nationals one run ahead.
Bat Matterson then took up the
hurting duties and for a youngster,
IL should be pronounced now that
''Matty'' Is somewhat Of a smart
hurler He toiled the balance Of the
five innings and should not have beep
scored upon as he got away by al
lowing only one safe hit and an err
ror by Hank Shanks paved the way
for the Junaleers to even the score.
Barney Johnson opened the
seventh with a blow to left field and
moved along on Shotton's sacrifice.
Foster beat out an infield nit to Bush
and Judge scored Johnson with the
winning run by a long fly to Cobb.

A. K. Macomber's War Cloud had
defeated Jack Hare. Jr., and
Johren in the Dwyer Stakes AT
Aqueduct Thursday, Trainer Wal
ter B. Jennings received hearty
congratulatiops In the clubhouse.
Jennings was bubbling over with
enthusiasm
War Cloud is the champion

of doubt" he said to numerous
friends who gathered about him
I'm ready to match him against
Jack Hare and Johren all over
again, IL their owners are not
satisfied with with the result OF
today's race"
Possibly the Empire or Saratoga
Racing Association will see fit to
bring these crack 3-year-olds
together In another race at even
weights and over q longer route.

NO COACHES
FOR HARVARD
All Contracts for Athletic
Coaches Have Expired at
Cambridge College.

Cambridge, Mass, July 12.-Fol
the first time in years the Harvard
Athletic A ssociation is under nc
obligation to any of its athletic
coaches. No member of the train.
ing staff Is under contract for next
year, nor is expected to be for some
time.
During the past college year q
number of coaches worked under
contract at Harvard, while others
were paid monthly for their serv-
ices. All these agreements expired
June /. and while no effort has beer
made to renew the contracts. there
is an understanding at Harvard that
IL sports are taken up actively al
Cambridge during 191S-19 there will
be a berth for any man who wishes
to return.
OF the track stan. Eddie Farrell
the Wakefield coach, in charge OF
the cross-country team. the mile
the two milers and field events men
on the track team. has passed the
necessary examinations for the po-
sition as trainer in the United States
aviation forces. Coach Pooch Dono-
van. in charge of the track team
and trainer of the football eleven
also is ready to do this sort of work,
that is. If the necessary physical
tests are not too much for him.
William Haines. English coach OF
the victorious crew, was without a
contract last year. and worked by
the month. At present he Is located
at the Union Boat Club, along with
Jim Wray, a former coach, who is
collecting a monthly salary from
Harvard rowing interests, because
Of verbal contract he held prev
ious to being retired.
Hugh Duffy, the baseball coach,
had a bad season but worked under
conditions Of the most trying order.
Wingate Rollins, who coached the in
formal football team, Is in the Naval
Aviation Service. acting as a re-
cruiting agent, and Don Wallace, the
freshman coach, is preparing to be a
flyer in the army. A new coach will
be necessary in football IL the game
is played in any form and the track
men may need the services of more
than one man.
The status Of university athletics
is still unsettled at Cambridge. and
while the athletic committee favors
a vigorous program in freshman
sports. there is nothing stirring In
Cambridge that tends to confirm the
attitude Of the committee in this di-
rection. Dean Briggs has said that
the resumption of intercollegiate
sports will not be acted upon until the
governments attitude on the ques-
ton is made known, and the War
Department demands on the college
are made public.
The dean. however. declares for
freshman sports unabridged. But at
Harvard there Is no athletic schedule
even in preparation. The attitude of
the government towards lowering the
draft age is undoubtedly responsible
for this indecision. and when it is
definitely determined that men of IS
and 19 will not be subject to military
call, the athletic committee will pro-
coed with its freshman athletic ar
rangements. ..s

New York. July 12-Biny Miske's

the outcome of his match with Bart

New York. July 12.-Ted Lewis

part Of the month. Johnston sent

TROUBLE FOR MISS DURACk
San Francisco Club Suing Austral-
ian Swimmer for DAMAGES

THE directors of the Centre Club" a"
says a press report from San Fran
cisco, have empowered Attorney
Oscar Lewis to file suit against Miss
Fannie Durack. the Australian SWIM

manager. for 5000 damages resulting
from her failure to start in one of
the clubs water carnivals for which
she had been entered" This action
on the part Of club fostering anna
teur athletics is most regrettable. 1t
savors too much Of an attempt to
exploit sport for gain. But It is not
the first incident showing the growing
tendency among some mems organi-
zations to commercialize competitive
swimming, and women prominent In

guard their own branch of the game
