He was with the fourth division

After lying on the field for many
hours with legs and arms torn by

ing better than ever. He will leave

SEATTLE, Feb. THE morning
of the second day of the general
strike dawned with the city almost
completely paralyzed.
The only normal function in the
entire city operating during the
night was the lighting of streets
and homes. This work was being car
ried on by volunteers. The strikers
themselves are feeding the strikers
through the establishment of 1S big
soup kitchens at various points
throughout the city. No disorders
have marked the strike SO far.
United States regulars, armed with
machine guns, rifles with bayonets
an daccording to reports freely cir

The government mail car is the
only street car that is moving to-
day. 1t has gone on its way un-

newspapers are among the indus
tries hard hit by the mammoth
strike. There is absolutely nothing
doing at the newspaper offices and

Owners Will Seek Iniunc-
ton to Restrain. League
Chief From Interfering
By w. O. Mcclellan

1t looks very much as though organ
lied baseball would be called into court
again. Colonels Rupert and Huston,
owners of the New York American
League Baseball Club, are merely wait
ing a reply from Ban Johnson to their
telegram asking that Carl Mays, the
former pitcher of the Red Sox, be re-
instated Should the reply be in the
negative the Yankee owners will seek
an injunction to restrain johnson from
interfering.
In the meantime Johnson has issued
a statement in Washington to the ef
feet that Mays is suspended for the
rest of the season. The two colonels
are overhauling their Blackstones and
it looks like legal battle to finish
some of that~'deep and thoughtful con-
sideration' which seems to be the
vogue in the national capital about this
time.
The average New York fan is certain
that if Mays had been secured by the
White Sox Bellicose Ban would not
have had word to say. The Gear"
moves his hat in the presence of Old
Roman Comiskey. He seems to believe
that the owner of the White Sox is
liable to slip bomb under the throne
at the first excuse.
The assertion of Johnson that he is
stickler for discipline in the Ameri-
can League gave laugh even to the
initiated New York fans. They were
thinking of the time when the Cleve-
land team absolutely refused to play
out their season. No disciplinary ac-
ton was taken against the club or the
club owner at that time.
why does the Gar so rigidly in
sist on discipline for one player when
he let's an entire team get away with
defiance of every rule of the league 2"
the New York fans want to know. "Is
there any particular reason why Ban
Johnson should stand for tempera-
mental stuff from the Cleveland team
while he travels the rest of the cir
cult handing out indefinite suspen-
sions with a lavish hand?"
Some of these questions may be an
swered mote or less clearly should
the Mays case reach the court. And
the Mays case is bound to 60 into the
courts, unless a satisfactory reply is
received from the telegram sent by
the Yankee owners.
There was similar case to the MAYS
affair right in the ranks Of the Yankees
this year. Dutch Leonard, who was
purchased from Poston, refused to re-
port to the Yanks. Ban Johnson per-
mitted him to be retarded to the De-
New-York tribune., 1919-08-02

The Giants big chance came in the
sixth and it's fearful to tell now they
messed it up. Ring, after pitching un-
beatable ball for five innings, suddenly
went all to the bad. Frank Frisch. the
Fordham boy, hit for Toney and drew
a pass. Burns also walked, and the
crowd grew silent. Young toed the
plate, and Ring pitched four straight
to him.
There were then very, very insistent
demands from the crowd for change
in pitchers. Pat Moran needed them,
and "Hod" Eller came in from his
warming up station in right. Fletcher
greeted him with single to right on
the first ball pitched, sending Frisch
across.
Still three on bases, nobody out,
and Doyle up. 1t looked like money
in the bank to the Giants. But Doyle
started to wait out" Eller, let the Red
boxman slip over a couple Of strikes.
and then had to hit at a bad ball. A
puny groundcr to Rath was the result,
which was skilfully converted into a
double play, and though Burns took
in the second count the big rally was
choked. That double play got more
cheers in Cincinnati than the signing
of the armistice, for Bennie Kauff i'm
with pop fly to Wingo
Zimmerman made two wonderful
plays in the first inning. Rath bunted,
crooked and twisting tap midway be-
tween the plate and third. Zim dashed
in, scooped the ball with his bare hand
and got his man at first by step. A
moment later he cut off Daubert's
bounder with dazzling pickup with
his gloved hand and cut down Jake at
the first bag
Nobody applauded these two sterling
stops, but when Heinie Groh made a
remarkable driving catch of Zim's
liner in the second the stands went
wild, which simply shows that it makes
difference whether you're in New
York or Cincinnati.

troit team. There was no talk Of dis
ciplining Leonard by johnson. 1t
seemed highly satisfactory to the presi-
dent of the American League that the
services of Leonard were lost to the
New York team.
The fight against Johnson will not
end with the injunction proceedings.
The Inconsistencies of the self STYLED
Gear" of baseball in the matter of
baseball and the war. in the Federal
League litigation and the ridiculous
attitude of himself and his colleagues
at the celebrated players strike of
1918. have irritated some of the real
sportsmen interested in the American
League.
The Mays matter will end in a show
down wherein it will be demonstrated
that johnson is not the American
League.
There is plenty of unrest in baseball
outside Of the Mays matter. Out in
Cincinnati the populace is more or less
infuriated at the Giants. The rumor
that the Giants are soon to have Arthur
Nehf, the best pitcher Of the Boston
braves. will start another turmoil. De-
troit is raving over the indefinite sus-
pension of Hughey Jennings. Boston is
frothlng at the mouth because Frazee
has traded so many of the worlds
champion Red Sox.
The time seems to be at hand when
organized baseball will need at the
wheel sportsmen who know the differ
ence between discipline and prejudice.
Self-styled czars, inhaling 2A per cent
over the mahogany and breathing 2A
per cent defiance, are due to be
wheeled to the dump in the cleaning
up that seems imminent, for the spirit
of unrest is hitting the national pas
time with the rest of our national life,
and it Is open season fer czars.
