 Old timers trouped back to the stage in concert yesterday, Walter Johnson in his eighteenth season, held the White Sox to one hit, struck out 14 men and allowed only one base on balls in his 1oSrd shutuot victory as Washington beat the White SoX 10 0.

 Babe Ruth, who first hit over 800 in 1915 made his tenth home run of year in the fifth with man on and later scored the winning run after singling in the ninth.

REVENGE is SOUGHT
FOR RACER EPINARD
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 20-The British friends
Of Epinard. dissatisfied with the re-
suit Of yesterdays race, in which the
pride of the French turf was defeated
by Sir Gallahad III, have offered to
back the son of Badajoz to the extent
Of half million francs in a return
race against his rival over the same
distance and with Identical weight
conditions, with the exception that
the race be run on a straightaway
course.
They have obtained the consent of
Pierre Wertheimer, owner of Epi-
nard, to run his horse in such an
event on condition that it take place
before June 5, as Epinard will be
taken to Ascot about June 10 for the
gold cup event.
The challenge was forwarded to-
day to Capt Jefferson Davis Cohn,
owner of Sir Gallahad. Cohn reserved
decision pending a consultation with
his trainer.
= Both Epinard and Sir Gallahad
came out of their hard struggle
sound, neither showing the effects of
the terrific drive through the stretch.
This race will do my horse good"
M. Wertheimer said today. Il can't
help thinking he was still a little
short on condition and a little over
weight"
All the sporting writer's in this
mornings Paris newspapers sound the
praises of Frank O'Neill for his ride
o nSir Gallahad against Everett
Haynes and are one in the opinion
that O'Neill would have reversed the
decision had he been riding Epinard.

The decision went to Burke,

Dencio was the ringside favorite, but

Fencers Provide Thrill.
The greatest thrill of the afternoon
came from the fencing battle royal, in
which Lieuts. Jeter, Headlee and Stuart

paired off and slashed vigorously at the

To make the struggle more realistic,
