I told him if he did I'd see to it that the club gave to him as a bonus the salary. that Sweeney would have earned if he had stayed with the club.

the game must be played on the oc-
casion of the next meeting of the two
clubs.
AS far as the Griffmen are con-
cerned, bad weather merely knocked
them out of their share of the receipts
from the large crowd that assembled
in spite of the threatening weather,
but in the case of the Indians it is
possible that failure to play today
may deprive them of pennant.
Should it so happen that the Tribe,
which still is very much in the hunt
for the bunting, should finish only a
few points behind the winner, Cleve-
land fans will blame the weather man
and the league rules for failure to win
a flag for the first time since its en-
trance into Ban Johnson's organiza-
ton. OF course, there was no assur-
ance that the Indians would have won
the game had it been played. but Sixth
city rooters would not temper their
bowls over the consideration of such
an eventuality as that.
There is a possibility the game may
be disposed Of yet, however. as Man
ayers Griffith and Speaker today an
noESced they would seek permission
from the league to play it off in the
ton on the occasion of the Tribes
third and final visit to the capital
next month.
Hope that the battle today could be
staged was not abandoned by either
the fans or management until half an
hour after game time, when, with the
rain falling steadily. official order for
cancellation was given. During the
wait Nick Altrock provided a lot of
fun for the spectators with his antics
on the side lines. and topped it off
with running dive onto the water
covered tarpaulin that was spread
over the diamond.
Johnson. who was credited with a
victory over the Indians yesterday,
when he went to Shaw's rescue, is
billed to toll in the opener of the
series of three with Detroit tomor-
row. Allowing him three days rest
between each subsequent appearance
he will be ready for duty in the sec
ond conflict of the Chicago set and
the final in st. Louis, thus facing each
Of the four western contenders once.
