ASSTARSAREO OUT

Ichiya Kumagae, Japan's tennis mar
vel now in the East tuning up for the
national championships next month, has
aroused from the ranks OF the United

for help.
The national title looks TO be within
the grasp OF the Japanese marvel almost

So weak were sll the visitors with
the club when the punch would have
spelled victory that specific censure
may not be -heaped upon any head.
In the first, with the bases jammed
and two gone, Shanks lifted an easy
fly to John Collins, playing right for
the Chicagoans.
Then Benz, on the slab for the
White Sox, Struck his stride and
pitched effectively until the seventh.
when Shanks opened with a clean
single, but his pals could advance
him no farther than second.
In the eighth Shotton opened with
a single and never advanced beyond
the keystone sack
Fails on n Stretch.
In the tenth, with two gone, Foster
and Judge singled in succession, but
the latter attempted to stretch his
one-base blow into a double and was
nailed.
In the eleventh Milan opened with
a hit, but wss left stranded at third.
In the twelfth Picinich drew pass
as a anu
gan sending his substitutes to the
rescue. Ainsmith ran for his fellow
catcher and johnson was sent in to
hit. But the changes were Intellectual
and nothing came of them.
The visitors had their final chance
in the thirteenth when Milan singled
with one gone, but his pals couldnt
deliver the wallops that would have
spelled victory. For the Grinmen It
was one chance after another, Win
all wasted.
He should Have Won.
1t was a pity that Harper failed
after pitching such a masterful game
for eleven innings. for johnson
pitched the final and was charged
with the defeat, of course. But Har-
per should have won, since he held
the Sox to two hits in the time mat

Not only does il make it all the more

Griffith was certain that he could
win with Harper in the frst game
that he could repeat with johnson In
the second. and that the Sox would be
so demoralized by this time that the
taking of the two final battles would
be easy.

pension of the sport"
The words Of the American League
president indicate the muddle in
which baseball is loundering and re-
calls to mind the tact that General
Crowder was impelled to smile at
some of the statements made to him
by the alleged leaders here last week.
Their words tended to show that they
had not even kept abreast of the times

Secretary Baker has issued no "or-
der" that major leagues are to end

They add that he has never named

OF the sport"
Secretary Baker, until the belated
appearance OF the national commits
sion's brief, believed that the work
or fight" ruling by General Crowder
would have no fatal effect upon the
major leagues. He thought that it
would be a simple matter for the mag
mates to go out on the high roads and
the by roads and find suitable play
ers for the continuation of the ma
tional game.
The decree OF Secretary Baker was
that the ball players within the pres
ent draft ages would be allowed to
remain in the game until September
i. when the work or fight order
will affect them, as IL has thousands
of others everywhere.
