Some of the evidents is circumstantial,
but some of it can be found in any high
class cyclopedia. I will put down the
former Ist The Johnston Bros is both
of them blondes and both got good teeth.
They both spell their name with IA small
t. They was both born in Tennessee.
Doc in Chattanooga and Jim in Cleve-
land. The fact that Doc amt called by
his real name witch is Wheeler and the
fact that Jim was born in Cleveland and
is now playing with Brooklyn is both of
the suspicious. Doc was born in 1889.
Both men is very fast but if Jim had
of been n VI faster they would have
been twins.
"Evidents Is COrObOrativc.'
Now in regards to coroboroative evil
dents. When it come to my eye that
Jim was born in Cleveland, Tenn. ] i'm
mediately went next door and borrowed
a cylclopedia to see was they any such
place. Sure enough they was. And the
clncher is that Cleveland is 80 miles
Is it liable that Johnstons that looks
so much alike and both got good teeth
and spells their name with a t and was
born 80 miles from the other is not own
brothers?
Further and more here is what found
out in regards to Cleveland, Tenn In
1910, u years after Jim Johnston was
born there. it had a pop of $3.50. 1t is
the county seat of Bradley countN witch
was named after Bill Bradley that use
to play Sd base for Cleveland. o.. and
Jim Johnston is now playing the same
position for Brooklyn.

This was arranged on the theory
that base ball fans have a morbid
curiosity and the promoters expects
to pack them in. The Braves Is

Among the 1919 regulars who are
again in the squad are Capt. Bou-
chard and LaFountain, ends; Rebel.
Connors and Bayne, tackles: Randall.
Benedict and Paxton, guards: Langen-
berg. center. and Matthew, Lain and
Seipp, backs. Each of these men did
good work at times last year and has
shown plenty of speed and agrees
siveness in this seasons drills. They
are practically certain to be sent into
Saturdays game with William and
Mary at Richmond.
About the only real loss suffered by
Gallaudet through graduations was
Capt. Wilson, who directed the play
of the 1919 eleven. Cusack. new
conner now is being groomed by Coach
Hughes and may be able to fill the
quarterback position. Other new men
who are expected to develop into first
string players are Ferguson, krohn
and Turoske. These men have played
in the backfields of minor college
elevens.
Where Coach Hughes looks for the
greatest Improvement in the Gallau-
Diet combination is in the strength of
its substitutes. Lack of capable second
string players has handicapped the
Kendall Greeners for some years, but
this season two good teams have been
forty candidates.
George Washington's foot ball
squad will be helped this week by
the addition of six backfield candi-
dates. Whyte, who played at left
tackle against Western Maryland, and
Hughes, who has been used in the
backfleld. have given up the game.
John Loehler, end, is out with water
on the knee. while Arthur Gronna. a
lineman, has a dislocated shoulder.
The Hatchetites are drilling daily for
their engagement with Delaware.

strength conferred IN S0utNpdW DalS-
men. On the other hand, the short
right fields both here and in Cleveland
are expected to rebound to the benefit
of the Redmen. Right field in the
Brooklyn grounds is considerably
shorter than the average in parks OF
the American League circuit. with the
exception of that in Cleveland itself,
in which the playing space has been
even more restricted by the erection
of temporary seats.
But if right handlers are figured to
be as comparatively ineffective
against right-hand pitchers as souht,
paw batsmen are against hurlerS OF
the same persuasion. the Dodgers will
have little edge on the Tribe. for they
possess only two left-handed strikers
Wheat and Griffith-in addition to
Pitchers Marquardt and Mitchell the
latter of whom is not expected to start
a game. Lamar also is left-hand
hitter but will not figure in the series
as regular.
Neither Team Is Speedy.
While base running seldom has proved
games. where safety first policy al
ways is pursued. it is likely to be even
less in evidence than ever in the current
set Of contests Collectively neither the
Indians nor Dodgers are accomplished
on the paths. Brooklyn trails the seven
other teams in the National League in
this respect with only seventy steals to
their credit. while. five other clubs in
that circuit have exceeded the century
mark.
The Indians rank fifth in the Ameri-
can League with only handful more
than the Dodgers, whereas the Ma
tionals. Browns and White SoX have
swiped more than 100 sacks apiece
Despite the unprecedented success of
this season from the club owners stand
point. that the title games will fall far
short of the record for both attendance
and receipts, due to the fact that even
with temporary seats erected for the
series, neither Ebbets Field nor League
Park is nearly SO commodious as some
Of the other plants.
Cleveland's Honors Unique.
In addition to the Indians being the
only championship team Cleveland can
boast of during all it's connection with
professional baseball. they are present

The record for attendance at single
game was set in Boston October 1o, 1916,
when the Red SoX and Brooklyn played
before 1880 persons. The record for
receipts at single game. $101,76S, was
set in the sixth game of the series at
Cincinnati last year.
The first provision in the cutting of
the big base ball '.melon' is that 10 per
cent of the gross receipts of all games
goes to the national commission. Next
comes the players pool, which consists
of so per cent of the balance of the re-
ceipts of the first five games. The other
40 per cent of this balance goes into the
pool to be divided equally between the
owners of the clubs. Then. if more
than five games be necessary. the re-
ceipts of those games are divided, 10 per
cent to the national commission and the
other 80 per cent to the club owners
