Jap Star Forced
To Give Up Tennis

New York, July 6-Seiichiro Kash-
iro, the japanese player who has been
creating such. a furore in some of the
recent lawn tennis tournaments, has
suffered a nervous breakdown be-
cause of his devotion to the courts.
Allen H. Behr, the partner of Kash'
iro in the doubles, was compelled to
announce their retirement in the
fourth round of the North Side cham
pionship at the University Heights
Lawn Tennis club yesterday. Will
liam H. Benedict and E. M. Randall
advanced to the senli-f1nal round by
default.
Benedict, the Williams College
star, and Randall encountered Her
bert H. Manchester and John Whyte
in the semi-final, defeating them at
IS, 6-3. Benedict had his net
game going at it's best. His smash
ing was often of the Californian
type and he blocked off Manchester
drives so prettily as to completely
spoil the pet shots of that player.
The final match for the champion
ship title will be decided this after
noon. Benedict and Randall meeting
the pair of title winning juniors,
Frederick G. Anderson , Jr, and Ben
iamin H. Letson.

Johnson is Shutout
King in American

Walter johnson, the speed ball
king of the Washington club, is lead.
ing the American League in shutouts
with a total of six to his credit. The
Boston Red Sox lead all other clubs
in dishing out the string of cyphers
with II shutout victories. The Sena.
tors, thanks to the able f1inging OF
johnson, rank a close second. with
II such triumphs.
A year ago this time the Cleveland
Indians were far ahead in shutouts,
and today the Indians, though lead
ing the league, are last in handing
out the kalsomine. Coveleskie, who
was far ahead of other fingers at
this time in the 1917 campaign, has
yet to score his first run1ess victory.
Bagby had quite string of shut
outs, too, and he has scored only one
this season. One by Bagby and one
by Morton make up the Cleveland to-
tai.
Several veteran members of the
Johnson organization are not found
on the list of shutout pitchers and
several newcomers have Joined the
ranks. One finds on the list such
names as Molyneaux. Shellenback,
Perry, Geary, Ka1lio and Thormah-
len. Stars of other seasons like
Ruth, Shaw, Coveleskie, Caldwell,
Benz, Cunningham and Davenport
have yet to ring up their first shutout.

|SCHUPP. LOSES
FIRST GAME
Ferdie Not Yet in Condition
After Long Lay Off, Loses
Game to Pirates 1914.

Pittsburgh, July 6-Prof1ting by
the Wildness of Ferdie Schupp.
who. tried out, his arm for the first
time this season in yesterdays game,
the Pirates scored an easy victory
over the Giants, 10 to A.
The Louisville Kid lacked the con-
troll he possessed when in his real
form and issued ten bases on balls,
in addition to which he hit two bat
tiers and cut loose one wild pitch
The Pirates also nicked him for
seven hits. Cyril Slapnicka, who was
Ferdie's rival on the hill, was not in
the best form, but he didn't have to
extend himself to win.
From the start it was apparent that
Schupp is not as yet ready to take
his regular turn in the box. He
walked Cation and Bibgee, the first
two men up in the first inning, and
when Carey beat out a bunt down>the
third base line, the sacks were load
ed. Southworth's pass forced Cation
Cutshaw famed, but a single by
Mollwitz scored Bigbee and Carey.
Four four innings Slapnicka,
nearly as wild as Schupp, managed to
keep the Giants away from the plate;
but in the fifth they bumped him for
brace of runs.
Cutshaw hit to the center field
fence for a home run with Bigbee
and Southworth on the bases in the
eighth, accounting for the Pirates
last three runs.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE
HER-ODONNEIIL BOUT

Eighteen years ago today, July 6,
1900, Peter Maher knocked out Steve
O'Donnell in the first round at New
York. Knocking out the big Aus
tralian was one of the best things that
Peter did Steve landed in America
in 1898 and made quite reputation
by defeating a number of good men,
including Jake Kilrain, who was
knocked out in the 21st round of a
bout with the Australian. Steve's first
defeat came when he met Peter
Maher at Maspeth, Long Island, in
1895. The Hibernian gladiator stop
ped .O'Donnen in the first round, and
thus established precedent which
he continued to live up to in subse-
ouent meetings. After whipping Jim
Dwyer, Owen Sullivan, Paddy Slavin
and Jack -Cusick, O'Dcnnell was
again matched with Maher. The re-
suit was the same as in the first>bou
Peter winning by a knockout in the
initial inning. This was at Coney
Island. In 1898 Peter and Steve
mingled again in Philadelphia. Peter
was bit slow in getting started this
time, and the Australian wasn't put
to sleep until the second round.
LO'Donnell kept away from his Irish
''jinx'' until 1900, when he decided
to have another try. Again Peter
administered the sleep potion in the
first chapter. After that the Austral-
ian just naturally concluded that luck
was against him, and he didn't fight
Maher any more.

Wickman's Dive
Was Some Dive

Those with thirst for adventure
and a longing for thrills that come
once in a lifetime may find exhilara-
ton in performing a feat accomplish
ed by Alex Wickman of Australia, the
recognized high diving champion of
the world He plunged 205 feet into
a pool while thousands Of spectators
bore witness. 1t was a feature of a
program of aquatic events.
Wickman admitted that when he
climbed to his dizzy perch that hs
was willing to call quits, but fear OF
quitting was greater than fear OF
death. Hoping for the best, he bent
over the edge of his platform, and
while cry of fear and admiration
went up from the crowd, he plunged
headlong through the air.
The diver managed to retain his
balance and senses until within about
fifty feet of the water. Then every
thing went black. He struck the
water in a semi prone position and
with such terrific force that blood
spouted from his nose, mouth and
ears, and his swimming suit was
ripped from his body.
> He was unconscious for ten min

FR|AR ROCK III
BRINGS 100000

New York, July Cone of the
largest sales of thoroughbreds in
many years was consummated vester-
day afternoon at the Aqueduct track
When John E-~Madden sold his great
stallion Friar Rock and a score of
mares to ]. H. Rosseter of San Fran
cisco. While neither Mr.. Madden nor
Mr.. Rosseter would name the prics
paid for the lot it was learned on
good authority that it tipped. the
| 100000 mark.
F'riar Rock was the king of the turf
| two years ago. AS a three-year-old
he won the Brooklyn, Suburban, Bel
mont and several other rich and class
| &c races. To the surprise of all race
| goers Major August Belmont sold
| him to Mr.. Madden for $4,000 be-
| fore the grand colt had fulfilled ali
of his rich engagements. At the time
| of the sale Major Belmont announced
| that he was parting with his cham
pion for the best interests of the
| turf
| Mr.. Rosseter, who is at present
| filling position of prominence at
| Washington on the Shipping Board
under Chairman Hurley is a COM
parative newcomer on the turf. A
few years ago he purchased some
fashionably bred mares in England
and at the dispersal sale of the Wyck-
life Stable at Lexington last winter
he bought the famous Disguise, this
| son of Domino and Bonnie Cal, and
| placed him at the head of his Wikiup
ranch near Santa Rosa, Sonoma
county, Cal. During the last month
he has been racing a small string on
| the local tracks.
| F'riar Rock comes from a most
| distinguished family, his sire having
won the English Derby, after which
he was imported to America by Ma
| jor Belmont at cost of more than
$125, 700. His dam, Fairy Gold, has
| been one of the most famous brood
mares of all times, as she has thrown
Fair Play, Friar Rock, Golden Mess
ura, Diamond Stud and other renown-
ed horses. While racing she was a
capital winner

Ebbets Would Like to
Recall Pitcher Hoffman

New York, July 6.---Charley Ebbets
would like to recall Harry Hoffman
from Rochester, but Arthur Irwin will
not let him. Rochester has a fine
chance for the International flag and
with Hoffman gone the team would
lose the main factor in its success.
Hoffman has pitched Is full games,
and has won Is of them. He has
worked in parts of six other games,
and in one of these a defeat was
charged against him. Besides pitch
ing in % of the 50 games played by
Rochester, Hoffman has done duty at
other positions, with third base as his
second speciality. He is a $40 hitter
and a first class fielder. Last Tues
day Heitman pitched a double header
against the Jersey City club and won
both games. Last Saturday he turned
a similar trick against Newark.
With the possibility that the Inter
national will disband during July and
Rochester right behind Binghamton.
Irwin wants to get in as many victo-
ries as he can in short time and he
is using Hoffman as much as the
young man will stand for. There is
the danger that Hoffman will suffer
the fate of many another star of the
minors---used up before, he gets into
the majors. The frequent use of
Heitman while he is the property of
the Brooklyn club, which cannot re-
call him until Rochester says so, in
dicates one of the dangers of farming
out highly promising material. Nc
Graw for one always has held it wiser
to nurse such men on the bench than
to take a chance of their being spoiled
by minor league managers, whose in
terest in these players in only tran
