Yesterday they fought II out to a finish
Toney was well nigh hit proof. while Moran
must have fed Ring with some anti-base on
ball serum, Jimmey sure was able to con-
troll the bail.
Helnie Grohs fielding was immense in
the first game. He made one great play
after another. but. his top notch effort
came in the seventh, when he speared
Frisch's foul in front Of one OF the distant
left field boxes. In the ninth Heinie
converted a hot smash by Fletcher into
double play.
Judging from yesterdays showing. Ross

Just before Benton was put out OF the
second gaNe he gave a pretty exhibition
OF pinch pitching. The Reds filled the
bases, with none our, on Luque's inneid
hit, a casualty pass to Rariden and
Bressler's base on balls. With the ron
OF the Redand batting order up Gin
cinnau was unabl to score. Rath popped
to Fletcher, Daubert forced Luque al The
plate and after Benton had three balls
and no strikes on Groh he forced Helnie
TO 60 out on an easy hoist TO Kaur.
The Reds didn't look so clipper in
the second game, Rings defeat in the
opener was an awful blow TO them They

rlayed a grand game He roamed around
the infeld like an Eddie Collins. He
handled thirteen chances Clearly In the
two games, and some Of them were pip
pins.
Chase couldn't adjust himself to the
kids fielding. Twice Frankie made stops
In the first base zone. but as Hal also
went after them 1t left no one to cover
first base. The former Fordham star
cracked out hit in each game and stole
three bases in the second. He's a live
wire and puts pep In the whole infield.
1t may give Ring some satisfaction to
know that the only run scored off him
over the regulation distance was I'M

Giants have been the first to get run

Kauff and Zimmerman punched their
only hits of the day in this frame. Benny
cracked a single to left with one out and
ran to third when Zimmerman dashed a

Carly raised short fly to Neale, and II
looked like foolish base running for Ben

play OF last Sunday, on which iris Speaker,
Cleveland manager, protested the Yankee
victory OF that afternoon. with the bases

n scored Burns and Young. When Bress-
ieris throw sailed into the New York dug
out Fletcher also scored, but Quigley tried
10 stop him. Fletcher and McGraw argued
With him, and QuiEley appealed to oDay,
who ruled that the run counted, but sent
Frisch back from third to second.
sohrieber, the highly touted Red short
atom recruit with a great batting record
IN The New England League, proved quite
an air carver after no succeeded Kopf in
the second game. Douglas struck him out

Luque took charge in the second. He
got the first two out and then all sorts

Then Young, Fletcher and Frisch clipped

Ter threw the ball into the New York
dugout. -Four runs scored.
Zimmerman Scores.
In the third Zimmerman was hit and
Snyder's single sent him TO third. On
the squeeze play Benton pushed Heinie
over with bunt. That started the mob
scene and Benton's election. Burns fol-
lowed with a single. scoring Snyder.
New Yorks only run of Gerner was
scored in the seventh on Frisch's base

down TO second on an attempted steal
when Smith dropped Aliens throw.
Chase got an infeld single and Frisch
scored on a double steal.
The Reds got plenty of men on bases
in the second game but few scored.
full dozen were left and what runs they
got practically were gifts. Allen, who
scored the first run in the seventh, got
on after striking out when Snyder failed
to hold the third strike, and wild
throw by Kaunf let him In.
Allen, Daubert and Groh got hits In
the ninth, which punched with errors by
Baird and Young let in two runs. Pep

In the fourteenth Chase made double
error on Kopf Hal fumbled his eounder
and then threw wild to Toney, covering
first. and Larry reached second. Magee
lifted to Young and Toney Intentionally
passed Ningo. Ivy had stung Fred for
a paIr of doubles. Ring then grounded
to Zimm.
Burns started the fourteenth with
single to right and on the hit and run
Young lined a single over Kopfs head,
Burns taking third. It was Pops third
hit of the game. Fletcher lifted short
Nv TO Roush behind second. Doyle
batted for Frisch. and Larry was pur-

ran for him.

Ring. In his anxiety to make play
at the plate Jimmy missed 1t entirely
Kopf then came tearing in for 1t but the
hall was deadened by the soft field and
took no hop. Kopf overran 1t and no
play was made on either Burns, VINO

O'Duy Changes Decision.

II would have been, had the play at the
plate been clean. NeaIe's throw got in in
plenty. of time to get Ben. but as Kauff
slid in the impact Knocked the ball out
of wihgo's hand. O'Day, who already
had called Kauff out, was obliged to
change his decision ...
Following the precedent OF Wednes-
days games, the Reds came right back
in the next inning and tied the score.
With one out, Daubert was safe on one
of those hits that Frisch fielded in which
no one covered first. Groh popped to
Fletcher. but Roush got good hold OF
one and sent II soaring over Young s
head for a triple, Daubert scoring. Dis
Greet coaching held Roush at third. Had
Eddie been sent in 1t would have been
an even chance that ne would have made
it n homer. Neale left him, tapping TO
Toney.
The game then remained deadlocked
until the fourteenth. The Giants opened
both the twelfth and thirteenth with
clean cut singles, but the inability OF
Young and Kauff to sacrifice prevented
the Giants from winning In those rounds.
But Ring was weakening. In the thir-
teenth Toney left Chase on third and
McCarty on third when he grounded to

Johnson's Statement.

In the midst OF their elaboration
this communication was received from
President Johnson:
l hereby notify you that neither
under the constitution of the league
or otherwise has the board of direc-
tors OF the league the power to take
any action In regard TO any OF the
matters specified in said call. and
that any attempted action at such
meeting with regard to any of these
matters will have no force or effect,
l direct your attention to the fact
that Section 20 of the constitution of
your league confers upon the presi-
dent the power to suspend a player
who, in his opinion, has been guilty
OF conduct detrimental to the gem
eral welfare of the game and that
i have suspended Player Carl w.
Mays pursuant to such authority;
that the constitution confers no au-
thority upon the board OF directors
to review or take any action in re-
gard to such suggestion and that I
was elected president of the league
by the members thereof and am not
responsible to the board for any acts
or conduct In the performance OF my
duties as president.
hOulu direct your atten-
ton TO the fact that any attempted
action by the board of directors af-
fected by the vote of Messrs. II. II.
Frazee or Jacob Fl. Rupert, or both
of them, In regard to the suspension
OF Carl W. Mays would be invalid
upon the further ground that said
gentlemen are disqualified to vote In
regard to n matter in which he or his
club Is interested.
1T think" said Col. Rupert, I'VE shal
convince Mr.. johnson that his illega
and arbitrary acts are subject to re
view by the board OF directors. II tn
board OF directors of the America
League has no right to question the act
Of the president of the league then tn
league might as well disband."
Johnson, who was elected for a terri
OF twenty years, cannot be unseated ex
cept by majority vote of the clubs Il
the league, and he has 1--WE clubs wit
him.
The next move in the war will b
the hearing to-day of Johnson on tn
Mays, Cleveland and other question
before a referee appointed by the Su
preme Court.
Comiskey left for Chicago immediatel
after the meeting of the board OF di
rectors.
"Johnson's days of czarlike powe
have come to an end" said the owner O
the White Sox. "If he has any decenc,
ir his makeup he will resign his posi-
tion."

RETURN OF THE RAILROADS.

The return of the railroads to priv
ate ownership, to be operated under
proper supervision, undoubtedly is
favored overwhelmingly throughout
the country, despite efforts to make
the contrary seem true. 1t does not
seem possible that anything can be
gained by postponing the return Of
the railroads. Certainly after their
experience under government control
and operation of the railroads the
people would never agree to the ma
tionahzation of them.
'The operations of the railways of
the country" says The Star of India
napolis, "is primarily business prop
osition and should be treated as. such.
There was too much politics in the
regulation Of the transportation COM
panies before the war. The railway
managers were largely to blame as
they brought down upon themselves
the public wrath that prompted every
newly-elected legislator to father a
sheaf' of bills aimed at the railways.
The result of that antagonism was a
flood of regulatory laws that finally
became oppressive to the point of
confiscation.
"A more intelligent view of the
railway question has developed in re-
cent years. There is abroad in this
country a spirit of live and let live
which should make possible an adj
Justment that will be satisfactory to
the public and fair to the owners of
the roads. 1t is important that the
railway managers and the business
world in general should know with
out delay just what to expect. We
cannot hope to have business in this
county get down to a firm postwar
basis so long as the fate of the trans
portation systems is hanging in the
air. The railways should be turned
back promptly to their owners for
operation at the maximum of busi-
ness efficiency and economy and un-
der such supervision as will guaran-
tee protection to them and the pub
hc." Industrial Index.
