Notwithstanding much Of the evil

per cent of the spectators were wom-

SLEEPING SENTRIES.

Four American Soldiers Sentenced tt
Die But President to Review Cases
Washington, March -Four Amer,
lean soldiers caught asleep while do.
ing sentry duty in the first line
trenches, have been sentenced to
death, but General Pershing, although
he has authority to carry out the
sentences, has referred their cases
TO the War Department Tor review.
These are the first cases of the kind
since the American troops went to
France. One soldier has been execut-
ed there for an unspeakable offense
on a French child, and in his case
General Pershing acted swiftly with
out as much as referring it to Wash
ington.
In these cases, however, some eX-
tenuating circumstances may be found
for the men, tired and nerve-worn
by front line trench duty in hitherto
unknown manner of warfare, to save
them from the death penalty at the
hands of their own fellows.
President Wilson probably, in the
end, will review their cases. Going to
sleep on sentry duty has long been
recognized as an unforgivable Of
tense, punishable by death. and such
cases. rare as they have been in the
American army, have furnished some
of the most absorbing incidents OF
its history. One cf the most touch
ing recollections which attaches to
the memory of Lincoln was his par
don of country boy, who, tagged
cut by the hard duty Of campaign
ing went to sleep on sentry post.

REDS MYSTERY
TO BASEBALL
Bad Showing of Cincinnati
Tribe Puzzle No One
Has Solved.

New York. July eO-The downfall
Of the Cincinnati Reds is one of the
biggest mysteries OF the baseball
season.
Last April. as the teams lined up
for the start OF the National League
pennant race. the Reds stood out as
one of the clubs that looked sure OF a
first division berth. and there were a
few writers who went SO far as to
pick them as the pennant winners.
But the Reds today are not even
pennant contenders in the full mean
ing OF the word. for they have per
mitted other clubs to build up big
leads against their chances.
Matty had a ball club at the start
Of the season that loked like a sure
winner. In Roush, Nesle. Sherry and
Lee Magee, Chase, Wingo. Groh.
Blackburne. Griffith. Toney. Schnei-
der, Regan and a few others the Old
Master had the nucleus OF what
looked like a hard driving club. es-
pecially with the bats and in the
pitching division, for the hurlers men,
toned here are all noted for a ca
pacity for work. Then came the big
pennant drive-a slashing. brilliant
drive at the start for the Reds-and
the slump that followed. No one has
offered a satisfying solution to the
predicament the Reds have COTTON in
to. and the problem remains unsolved.
But in Justice TO the outstanding
players on the club. and to Matty him.
self, II seems timely to say that the
Reds are a much better ball club than
their standing indicates. Their plight
is Just another instance Of a good club
going wrong.

match was followed by a buffet sup

about two hours were spent In
threshing out the rules of both eleN

club felt this necessary on account
of the number of unintentional tr-

Major ogus Figuring Johnson Claims Leagues Close To
JOHNSON TOO
MUCH FOR SOX
Kansas Cyclone Halts
Champs in Second Game.
Of Series by 6 to |.

This veteran Of eleven years, Walter
johnson, demonstrated in what may
be his farewell performance, that he
could Withstand any pressure, even
when he wished to loaf along. john
son did not exert himself any too
much while on the hill In this second
game of the series with the White
Sox yesterday. although the Nationals
romped in with the pastime by 8
to / count.
1T was all Walter johnson, as the
Kansas >Smokeball King kept eight
hits scattered SO well, during the Sox
batting campaign. that one run was
their allotment, this coming in the
first frame when the big smoke was
not prepared to shoot through his
zip"
Opposed to Walter was Frank Shell
lenbach, and hats must be doffed e
Colonel Rowland for having nerve
enough to-send this youngster against
the veteran Smokeball King. Shellen-
bach gave everything that he had in
this issue. and because of a lombard
ment that was crashed of his slants
in the third frame. he was issued the
sprinkling table and Dave Danforth
finished out the game.
Although the So1<got the jump In
the opening inning by pushing over
one run they were really never dan
gerous after this. and the entire issue
of the battle was settled in the third
session by the Nationals. Murphy led
the way for Chicago by a double to
left and was acrificed along a peg by
Leibold. Eddie Collins then hit to
right field and Murphy tailed the only
run marked up by the South Side
crew. They threatened on one or two
other occasions but it was Of no avail
Nationals halted the issue.
The Griffmen packed the old battle
away in the early frame Of the third
after Walter had whitfield the wind.
Bert Shotton led the way with a single
and stole the midway cushion while
Shellenbach was passing Foster.
Judge hit TO right and Shotton scored,
evening the count. while Foster went
to the far corner and Milan's sacri-
flee blow to center put "Fatima" over
with the leading run. Schultz followed
with a crash that scored Judge and
Hank Shanks doubled to left which
scored "Wildfire," but Hank was out
when he attempted a vaudeville act
on base running with Leibold holding
the ball
This quartet of tallies placed
through by the locals were all regis
tered until the lucky chapter when
with one down Bert Shotton was
passed and moved along on Fosters
infield out to Weaver. Judge and
Milan followed with blows which
placed Shotton over the dish while
"Wildfire" Frank Schultz crashed out
a double to right that made easy
romping for Judge of the Nationals
final tally. The score:
