Byron Pennington Croker Post, 1874,
American Legion, held its regular
monthly meeting ON Wednesday eve-
ming in the third ward fire house.
There was a good attendance and an
enthusiastic meeting was held. The
first annual dance is being planned for,
to be held this month. Among other
business done was the passage OF a mo-
ton to allow the beautiful standards,
presented to the organization by the
City of Wild wood, to be exhibited in
Philadelphia. The first window to be
secured is F. A. North's, 1906 Chestnut

The Legion also ordered the purchase
of a flag to be given to the Wildwood
Boy Scouts for use Oh the flag pole in
the park opposite the stations. The
city hall third floor is being put in
shape and the Legion will move it's
headquarters there. The pool table
VIII be moved there and the room will

Notes of the Game

Boston. July johnson left the
bedside of his sick son last night
to join the team today. The night
spent on the sleeper did not seem
to have interfered with his form.
Barney seemed to take particular
delight in striking out Harper.
Each OF the two times Harry came
to bat the big pitcher kidded him
before rendering the coup de grace.
Fourteen put-outs were made by
Picinich without an error. In the
eighth he made a great running
catch of Scott's foul ny near the
stands.
But for Harris error not a man
would have reached first on John
son. But the second sacker made
up for 1t by some fine stops later
and the hit which drove In the
winning run.
The entire Washington team had
but four assists, two OF them going
to Harris and one each to Judge
and Shanks.
Twice the game was delayed
while Shanks retired to the dugout
to have some tape applied to his
DreeCneS. which ne spill "hiic siio
ing into second.
johnson pitched ss balls, 81 of
them being strikes and 80 wide. In
this respect he did not come close
to equaling his recent mark against
Philadelphia.
John Henry. former National
catcher, who has recently been
coaching Cornell, worked out In q
Boston uniform before the game.
Having only one catcher available
Barrow may give him a chance.
McNally's return to the game
helped the Red Sox some. but they
are still in need of Tim Hendryx
in center. Pitchers Allen Russell
and Waite Hoyt are also on the
hospital list.
Harper had the Indian sign on
Roth, who was twice called out on
strikes.
Only about 1000 persons saw
Johnson's feat, as the Boston fans
are giving the Red Sox the absent
treatment since the sale of Ruth
to New York.

of this description was against the
Columbus club, while both teams
were members Of the American As
sociation. The contest took place
in this city on June s. 1884. Among
the names to be seen In the box
score Is that of Brown. Tom Brown
now conducts cigar store at the
st. James Hotel.
The second game was also played
in this city against the Baltimore
club. when both teams were In the
National League. Many names are
familiar among those who played
in this contest. McGraw and Rob-
inson are now both big league
managers, with New York and
Brooklyn clubs. The last game
the team played in which they
failed to make a hit was against
Boston, of the National League, on
August Z, 1889. at Boston.
The pitcher for the Nationals that
day was Bill Dineen, who after

Barney Johnson to
Work in Afternoon
Contest on Monday

Boston, Mass, July L. Barney
Johnson's no-hit-no-run game to-
day made President Grifith smile
for two reasons.
In the first place he was glad
Walter had broken into the no-hit
circle. even II II did take him four
teen years to do II.
But the foxy leader was also
thinking Of certain series with
New York. which begins on Georgia
avenue Sunday. July 4. In fact,
that's what he's been thinking
about mostly for the past week or
two.
To make certain that he will have
two pitchers In prime condition for
the engagement with Babe Ruth
and his aides, Griffith will send
johnson and Shaw home tomorrow
night. They will be instructed to
get all the rest they need, but to
be ready to lick the Yankees when
called upon.
Shaw will pitch the opener
against New York on Sunday and
Johnson will work in the afternoon,
game Monday. L Barney Is any
where near as good as he was today
the indications are that Ruth will
get no home runs. He will be lucky
to beat out a bunt.
All attendance records are expect
ed to be broken during the stay cf
the Yanks in Washington. Fans
are already wiring for tickets from
far and near. GrifIth ennounces.
The SUNDAY game ought to see
every seat filled. and plans are be-
ing made to allow an overflow
crowd on the field IL necessary.
The two games on the Fourth are
also expected to zee the seating ca
racitv OF the Washington park
taxed
Grifith is strangely cheerful over
the impending struggle with the
Yanks. He can hardly wait for the
time to come when he can match his
team against the Gotham sluggers
with no short fences for the WIS.,
ltors to proht by.
