JOHNSON IS WARMLY
 PRAISED BY RIVALS
Washington Star Himself Seeks to Give Credit to
 His Teammates

Pittsburgh, Oct. 8 H9 - Pitts burgh's Pirates. borne down in their first attempt to board the flagship Washington, are realigned today for a new attack, with Vic Aldridge, former Chicagoan, arrayed against one of the great moist ball hurlers of the present day, Stanley Coveles- kie.
 The Senators of young Stanley Harris, one game ahead as the re- suit of their four to one conquest of the Buccaneers in the first contest of the world series at Forbes field ycs- terday, are jubilant. Walter (Barney) Johnson, veteran of almost two decades, led them to the vic- tory that they most desired.
 Only five times did the highly touted sluggers of Pittsburgh men, ace the great one from Humboldt, Kansas, one safe blow coming from the bat of Pie Traynor to furnish the Pirates only score. It was home run into the far stands in right center. From that time Bar ney was master and only three other opponents reached second base. In his remarkable conquest Johnson struck out ten men.
 Managers, players and spectators agreed that the game belonged to Johnson. He stood out boldly in a contest that developed some fashy play in the infield. At the end. his right hand swollen from his grip ping of -the ball, he attributed his success to the steadfast play of the men behind him.
 They did wonderfully" he said, "and am proud of them. With such aid I could have gone on for several more innings without serious trouble. Ehey are great lot of ball players"
 Praise came to the big fellow from his own manager, Stanley Har- ris, and from the manager of the opposing camp, Bill McKechnie.

MITCHELL REFUSES
 ID GIVE EVIDENCE
Declines to Testify in Shenan-
 d0ah Disaster
so ADVISED BY COUNSEL
Reason Given Is that His Own Court Martial Case, Which Is Pending,
 Might Be Prcjudiced by Any
 Statements that He Might Make.

Washington, Oct. P>-Colonel William Mitchell today refused to testify before the naval court of in- quiry Investigating the Shenandoah wreck and threw proceedings into q tangle that must be unravclled by the high officers of the navy and war departments.
 Appearing before the navy court for questioning about remarks that the Shenandoah wreck might be at tributed to almost treaeonable and criminal neglect, the colonel held aloof from the oath of office by citing threatened court martial pro- ceedings against him in the army. He acted, he said, by advice of counsel.
 Thrown off its scheduled pro- gram, the naval court adjourned un- till 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and meanwhile high officials will determine what Is 10 be done.
 Tangle of Opinion
 llle naval COuIl NdS llClllleu lO hold that Colonel Mitchell having appeared under orders from the ad- iutant general, was obliged to testi- fly, and that the next move was up to the war department. War de- partment officials declined to indi- cate their course in advance of q | nal communication from the d court.
 ,cN is learned. however, that the given Colonel Mitchell di- .ected him only to appear" before the navy court. Whether his refusal to testify should be construed as failure to appear no one would say.
 Counsel for the naval court said that body had power to impose penalties on service men who re- fused to take the oath, the maxi mum being q $500 fine and impris- onment for six months. but the court will hold off until it learns the rounding Colonel Mitchell's orders.
 While the court was in executive session determining Its course after Mitchell had objected to taking the oath. Representative Frank R. Reid of Illinois, his attorney, made pub lie a communication which the colonel sent yesterday to the ad- jutant general of the army.
 Mitchell's Communication
 Colonel Mitchell's communication to the adjutant general said:
 'I hereby request that the orders from the adiutant general delivered October z, 1925. that I report to the naval court of inquiry at 10 q. m.., October 8, 1925, be revoked.
 My reasons are as follows:
 "(A)-I have been notified by the war department that court martial are impending against me.
 "B)-T am advised by my coun- sel that it would be inconsistent with my legal rights and might my case should l be re- 1uired to testify before the naval court on matters liable to be the subject of inquiry in possible court martial proceedings.
 My counsel advises me not to testify at this time before the naval court, but to request a delay until final action shall have been made 1 on my court martial proceedings.
 This communication is sent di- rect as there Is not sufficient time | for me to send it through the l headquarters district of Washing | on. A copy has been sent to head quarters"
