Baseball Magnates Failed
To See President Wilson

Major league baseball men admit
that they never appealed directly to
President Wilson to save baseball
until the middle of October. They
say that none of their leaders at
tempted to visit the White House.
When Gen. Crowder's "work-or-
fight" order first was promulgated
the magnates refused to get busy.
1t was not until Secretary Baker de-
cided the Ainsmith appeal contrary
to their expectations that hurried
briefs were filed with Gen. Crowder.
The baseball club owners now be-
lieve that the failure of their lead
ers to explain the situation to Pres
ident Wilson Immediately after Gen.
Crowder's original order was the
biggest kind of a blunder. But it's
all over for this year at least and
the magnates must shoulder the en-
tire blame.

GEORGETOWN ATHLETE
A STAR In FRANCE

Somewhere in France. Aug. AT
the games on the Fourth of July.
Hugh Doherty. of Jersey City. who
played fullback on the crack
Georgetown University football
team won the hand grenade compe-
tition. He hurled the missile the
great distance of 262 feet, which
was many feet further than the best
mark made by any OF a team of
French experts who came from the
front especially to give an exhibi-
ton.
Doherty throws the grenade just
as he would a baseball. The round
arm throwing taught in the States
is all wrong. both regarding accu-
racy and distance throwing. The
French throwers also use the base
ball style.

GEORGES CARPENTER
MAY COME TO STATES

Somewhere in France. Aug. a.
There is a possibility of Georges
Carpenter the French heavyweight
champion getting permission to go
over to the States to help the next
liberty loan. If everything goes
all right he will make the trip in
charge of Spike" Robertson, the IA
nous athletic trainer and a tour Of
the States will be made. Carpenter
speaks very fair English. Georges
is in fine shape at present and IL he
goes over he could easily go into a
number of battles.

Notes Of the Game.

Either Frank Matteson or Doc
Ayers will be sent against the Indians
Wednesday while Manager Fohl will
take chance on either Fred Coumbe
or Johnny Enzmann,
johnson robbed Judge Of a double in
the sixth with one Of the prettiest
stops ever seen at League park. Doc
grabbed Howard's wicked boulder far
back OF first with his bare hand and
with quick toss to Bagby nipped
Howard.
For a time it looked as IL Chet
Thomas, coaching at third, would send
Wood home on his smash to left in
the tenth, but he used excellent judg-
ment in holding Joe up as he not only
was firing from his sprint in the tor
rid weather but Foster was far out to
relay Shotton's throw to the plate.
The Indians one big chance to score
prior to the tenth was in the fourth,
when with one down Chapman walked
and raced to third on Speakers single,
but Roth pounded into a lightning
double play, Forster to Shanks to
Judge. This same trio engineered an
other two-play killing in the sixth
that helped Harper.
The Nationals out hit the Indians
more than two-to-one, but Bagby
pitched his best ball when danger
threatened.
Woods play on Judges bounded
back Of second in the tenth with third
and first occupied and Turner'S as
sist on this same Judge, this time a
slow roller in the eighth under SINH
lar conditions, were real beauty
brights and no mistake.
1t tickled the fans to see the meet
ing of the rival boards Of strategy in
the tenth. the Indians holding their
confab near the plate while the Griff-
men gathered around the pitching rub
Der.
fifth, Ainsmith had a chance to retire
johnson on a high foul. but Eddie
overran the ball and then Doc walked.
