McGraw Stirred Up Cincinnati ROOters
 By His Methods
Sporting News)

The row that John McGraw got into at Cincinntai when he told the Red bugs that they acted like a bunch Of "Huns." stirs some reminis- censes of old fights in Cincinnati in the memory of Tom Rice. who writes:
 such scenes were not SO uncOm- mon iu the 9O's when the 12-club league was in existence and Pat Te- beau, who died q year or so ago, was the mana ger of Cinciunati's pet and perpetual aversion-the Cleve- land team Pat used to believe that the quarter or half dollar of the fan who came to throw a brick at him and his hcnchmen was just as good as the coin of a, gentle soul with love Iy manners, and the brick throwers were the more numerous. If he thought the Cincinnati fans had for gotten him or were not steamed up enough about the race, he brought the pastime to their attention by writing letters to the Cincinnati pa pers by winch he called them all the names the papers would print and dared them to come out with their hand artillery. That brought them from both sides of the Cincinnati Rhine.

 The Soldier at times woul1 not be denied and he landed on Leonard with staggering effect. Twice dur ing the contest Leonard was dazed and was compelled % uso all his ring craft to nafClc the cumulative Brook lyuite.

 There was considerable question in the minds of the onlookers as to the outcome of the battle had the limit been extended to eight rounds, for Bartreld was strong as a bull at the finish despite the heavy punishment he had received in the preceding rounds
 Owing to the threatening weather and the postpCrement the attendance was not as good as had been expect ed.

Bat hasterson, the New York critic. 1a discussing tho report that Jack Dampsey might box iu a Detroit ring, mGys with truth:
 '"The offer made by Charles E. Cochran. tho London promoter. for n battle between Dempsey and Beckett is far ahead of anything an American promoter could or would offer AC- cording to Mir. Cochrau's terms tho purse would have to be split on The basis of 60 per cent to tho wrnust and 40 per cent. Co tho loser. Tho purse being $12O,OOO. our money. would mean SIP 900 to the winner and S4S. .OOO Co the loser. Where iu this country could Dempsey uo better than thaf7 Again Inc answer Is mo- where.
 '-For blufrinE purposes it is all right for Dempsey to talk about Do troit or any other place in this Couu- try, for that matter. but when it comes Co getting the money it looks to a man up a tree as 1T. the cham pion would have to go 10 England Co get it It's not fin this country. that is as sure as anything ulI ue-
 "Of course if Demps,- would be satisfied to go along and take what he could get for meeting and knock ing out aetups 1t would be a different story. Tn that case he would be foolish to turn down almost any sort of a proposition made by our fly by-night promoters.
 But fin case where he woa1d have to defend his title against real con tender over the championship dis tance, Dempsey would be sure to de- rnand a large sum for his services and he couldn't get it in this country.

BAN JOHNSON ADMITS HE
 OWNS CLEVELAND STOCK
Sensational Testimony By American League Pres ident at Hearing on Carl Mays Case
 Shares Worth S58,500 He Says

New York. Sept 5-Ban Johnson, president of tho American League, Is a st,ckhoIdrr of the Cleveland Ameri- can League club. according Co his own admission. Johnson testified before a rcfercc, George J. Gillespie of 90 Vesey street, yesterday that he now holds $5S,0oO worth of stock in the Cleveland Americans, ludorsed 'n blank by James c. Dunn, president of that club,
 This seems to indicate ths tsrse statement issued by the Yankees on August t on the Carl Mays case: "Thc trouble is fundamental We believe che president Of the American League is interested fin Inc Cleveland club, and wc believe this Co be the cuuvic- ton of every club owner in the American League Until this carbuucle is removed there can be no health in our league"
 It also may bo recalled that the Yankee statement eIicitcd reply From James Dunn, president of the Yankees, chat Jbe New York owners -wero trcadiu6 on dangerous ground"
 The examination of San Johnson by the attorneys of the New York Americans by order of the court brought about one of line most turuu- lant scenes in baseball politics. The feeling between Johnson and the own 1rs of the New York club-Co,oa,ls Ruppert and Huston. has become iu- tensivo It almost scorched the air yesterday. An eumity exists which cannot be patched up. Despite the 5s- fz- weeks old. the feeling cnEeudc-.J by it has mol cooled of particle. Not even the most common civilttes pass ed between the rival factions yester- day
 Johnson testified that the Cleveland club was capitalized at S50O.OOO, and now has a bonded iudebrasasess of S6o,0o0. In the spring of I7I6, when the club was taken over from five bankers of Cleveland. it owed the league s22.O0O.
 At thc time that the Dunn inter ests took over the club Johnson put up S1oO.0oO In cash and -Jt S5O,OgO worth of stock and S5O.00O worth of James Dunn's stock in blank. John son then testified that he now holds S5S,OOO worth of Cleveland stoc'..
 Tesdfyiug further Johnson said no dividends had been paid by the CIeve- land club since 1916, and he did not know whether tho club could pay a dividend. He further said he attend cd all the meetings of the stockhold- CTS of the Cleveland club, but never saw a record of what trauspired at those meetings. He said he repre- scented the interests of Robert Me Roy, his former secretary, who died about a year ago To further ques- ton he said he held no proxy at theso meetings.

JOHNSTON WlNS TENNIS TITLE BY
 BEATING TILDEN

| William NJ. Johnston of California is IChampiOn of champions in lawn ten | his This 1.-the, almost frail player. i who first won the national champion ! ship in 1915. only to lose it the follow ling year to R. Norris Williams, re- gained the title before a huge crowd on the courts of the West Side Tennis i club yesterday by defeating William | T. Tilden 2d of Philadelphia with sur | Drising ease in straight sets. The score was 6-4, 6-4 6-3.
 [ He is rightly called the champion of champions because in his flight to | the national title he defeated. among others. Gerald l.. Patterson, who won | the now accepted worlds champion ship tournament at Wimbledon. Eng land, last July. It was the daring and ! dash of Johnston, his aggressive dominating powers at the net which compelled his rival to take the de- fensive and to play the game after | the pattern that the champion se- ] |lecteJ.
 i Tild heavy artillery of speed meant nothing to Johnston. Neither i did his cannOnadin- service, which 1 upon more than one critical occasion ! failed to explode at all in the expected manner, instead of turning out a yer table dud.
 l All of the speed. accuracy and az
 gressiveness were with Johnson He
 was always up to the net in the r~l- | lies. With rapierlike strokes of his
 racquet he blocked off the fastest vol | leys and drives that TTlGen shot across | to him. Tilden once in a while trfclzed l him into misjudEinE a line drive and | letting fair ball shoot past him but | it was not often.
 | That Johnston forced the playing is indicated by his total of 33 place ment shots for the three sets as | against I for Ti1den This was the margin that turned the tide in his favor. In all of the rallies the doughty little Pacific Coast star had his rival chasing all over the court for the ball.
 TiIden's rrcoveries represented nothing in particular, as he had to yield position, which permitted John ston to pile up his tally on earned points. On errors of nets and outs. tho Californian lost only a total of 57 points, while Tilden's total was @.
 Throughout the three sets, which
 were completed in exactly one hour Johnston displayed the amazing abil- ity to attain great speed without viO- 1 lenCe of effort. It was the sort of
 thing which has caused him to rise . superior to such giants of the courts as Gerald L. Patterson, the Austral- ian, who won the worlds champion ship at Wimbledon; to Robert Lind
 icy Murray, the playinE-throUgh title
 holder of last year: to Wallace F. Johnson, the master chop stroke
 artist, and lastly Tilden.

HIGH ITALIAN BIRTH RAIE
REDUCED HALF BY WAR

ROME, June 1O.-(Correspond-
encce of Associated Press. )-The
high pre-war birth rate of Italy of
81 per thousand declined during the
war until for 1918, according to an
exhaustive investigation by DIR. Will
liam Charles White, of Pittsburg,
head of the American Red Cross Tu-
berculosis commission, it had reached
the low figure of approximately
II per thousand.
During the years 1901 to 1911"
says. DR.. White, "Italy added $780,
900 to her population and from 1912
to 1915 she added 100000, max
ing an increase of about half mil
| lion.
"For a long period of years, the
excess of births over deaths in Italy
has never fallen below ten per thous-
and, while in some districts it is as
high as 1872 per thousand"
Normally, 1873 children under one
year of age die for each thousand
living births in Italy. During the
war this figure in the large cities
has risen to III per thousand. In
some cases it rose to the alarming fig
ure of 637 in the smaller cities. These
figures give some indication of the
problem in the fields of child welfare
in Italy as one of the countries suf-
fering most by the calamities of war
within its own territories.

G. N. & !. GIRLS
REFUSE TO SIT
BESIDE GOBER

MILLEDGEVILLE, June 10
Two hundred and forty-six young la
dies of Georgia, from nearly every
county in the state, a short while be-
fore the time set for the delivery of
diplomas at the Georgia Normal and
Industrial college yesterday requested
Judge R B. Russell, of Winder,
chairman of the board of trustees,
not to permit Judge George F. Gober
to occupy seat on the same platform
with them when their diplomas were
given.
This was but one of the several
developments in the fight that came
to head two weeks ago when Judge
Gober led in the opposition to The
odore Atkinson, chairman of the
board for twelve years.
The alumnae association, in session
at almost the same hour as the SEN
iors passed resolutions calling upon
Governor Dorsey to request the resig-
nations of Judge Gober and Hugh
Rowe, the latter newspaper editor
of Athens, as members of the board
by virtue of their membership of the
University of Georgia board.
Resolutions were passed asking the
legislature to pass an act taking the
Georgia Normal and Industrial Col
lege from under the control of the
State University. The alumnae associ-
alton expressed in their resolution the
intent to fight for this legislation
from a to e."
The senior class request came with
out warning as no one had been TAX
en- into the confidence of the young
ladies. 1t was short communication,
the president of the class, Miss Jose
phine Weaver, of Buena Vista, deliv-
cred to Judge Russell. Standing near
the recently elected chairman was
Judge Gober.
Judge Gober left the college build
ing in which he was standing shortly
before the graduation exercises star
ted.
1t developed later that the seniors
look upon Judge Gober as the person
responsible for the removal of Chair
man Atkinson and they were also an
xious to make known their displeasure
at his attempt to delay the election
of President Parks when the matter
was before the board two weeks ago
At that meeting the reelection Of
President Parks for a term of three
years was moved and seconded ant
later Judge Gober is said to have at
tempted to take credit for the re
election of Mr.. Parks. The fight O.
the seniors is understood to have
been provoked entirely by the remov
al of their former chairman, Mr.. At
kinson, whose defeat they charge L
Judge Gober. The reason Judge Go
Der opposed Chairman Atkinson, it il
claimed, is the latter voted agains
the proposal before the university
board last year to confer the L. L
D. degree upon Judge Gober.
