CAPITAL FANS DO HONOR TO JOHNSON "0ld Barney" Receives Gifts on
 His 20th Anniversary

Washington. Aug. 3 LF-Walter Johnson. veteran pitching ace of the Washington Senators, rounded out his 20th anniversary in major league baseball with a defeat just as in his league debut, but found the capitals fandom generous with honors in ap- preciation of his services.
 Against the same opponents of two decades ago, the Detroit Tigers, Johnson hurled losing game. to 6, yesterday before 10000 fans pack ed in the Griffith stadium, but despite his defeat he set a new rec ord for strikeouts with total of 3,455. But unlike the contest of 20 years ago Johnson was not credited with the defeat, the official scorer charging it against Garland Braxton who relieved him on the mound in the ninth inning and yielded three runs to the Tiger batsmen.
 The game was designated John son day. at the ball park and "Old Barney" occupied the center of the stage throughout the entire after noon. The fans of Washington pre- sented him with silver service and plan to erect a permanent memorial for him in the form of bronze and marble sundial at the stadium. From his team mates he received a silver water pitcher and tray. while the Washington and Detroit clubs gave him check for s14.746.05. repre- senting the gate receipts for the day over the average returns for the week.
 From the American league came It's highest award, the Distinguished Service Cross of baseball, a gold maltese cross studded with 20 dia- monds, one for each year Of his service.

and second respectively in the sec. ond inning, but the batting punch was lacking. Patrus got to second in the third frame but no hit brought him in.
 Landers got two in the fifth. Preisser hit tc Jasper who sent tho ball high over Bates head on first, letting Preisser go to second. Dor azio laid down perfect bunt along third base for an infield hit and Preisser was on third. Nester Lit a high fly to Matteo in left field and although the throw was good and the play was close. Umpire Mike Lynch declared the runner safe at the plate. Darrow connected with a fast one and crove hard liner into left field for two bases bringing in Dorazio.
 This ended the scoring for tho game and although the batters worked hard, the pitchers had them at their mercy for the remainder of the game.
 Joey Fitzpatrick turned in the real fielding gem of the game and incidentally saved his pitcher from losing shutout. Carlson had singl- ed to left in the seventh and Matteo following him. slammed a mighty wallop wide of first base. The ball would surely have gone for extra bases but Fitzpatrick spread-eagled himself out and stabbed the drive one-hand for enc of the best catches of the season. Joe Jasper pulled 6 neat play in the second inning when he made q learing. enchanted stab of Prelsser's liner over third. Hill tsrand played a nice game at third although he had two errors chalked up against him. Bucheri and Dar- row formed the best keystone com- binayion seen in the league and stopted sure hits over the second bag.'
 Bucheri made a wonderful stop behind second base and got his man. Jasper cut into short to take anoth- CT grounder and with good assist ance by Bates and his mighty stretch, he got the runner at first. Dorazio, Landers' catcher pulled down few high fouls. making good catches on every ball while both pitchers fielded their positions nice- ly. The summary:

League Standing

The P. & F. Corbin team still leads the Industrial league but its margin has been cut to half game through the Landers crew at Walnut Hill park. The Stanley Works team has to win one game to enter into a tie with the Lockmakers though the Butt Makers have a hard row to hoe in meeting the Stanley Rule & Level team tomorrow afternoon. The Faf-. mir team kept in the running last night by defeating the New Britain Machine team but it cannot win the pennant. .....- Corbins Defeated
 The Landers Frary & Clark base ball team, the second last regularly scheduled opponent of the P. & r. Corbin nine in the Industrial Base ball League, proved to be stumbl- ing block to t>s league leaders in the game played on Diamond Mo- 2 last night. The Universals not only won the game but they also hand ed the Lockmakers a whitewashing by the score 8, to 0.
 The game was by far the best played contest seen in the Industrial League this season. It was a bitter | pitching duel between 'Huggie" Carlson of the Corbin team and Nester of the Universals with Nester having only slight edge. Neither walked man and each struck out six batters. Carlson allowed seven hits while Nester allowed only five. However. 1t was the "heads-up" baseball played by the Landers team that accounted for victory. Every batter played the game and when runner was on first, he was push ed along to second from where he had chance to score on bingle. The Corbin team was unable to get more than one hit in any inning while Landers succeededing bunch | ing pair ot bingles in the first and in the fifth innings to score | their runs.
 It was the hardest fought ball game seen in this city in many sea- sons. With the pitchers showing al- 1 most perfect control and holding the batters on the opposing sides al- most helpless. the game went through for quick finish in one hour and 40 minutes. Heavy hitting was entirely lacking but there were fielding gems on both sides and pretty batting plays executed by the Landers team, all of which went to make the game spectacle we'll worth seeing.
 The Corbin team got a man on third and seccnd in the first inning but couldn't produce the punch to bring either one in. Landers scored their first run in the opening frame. Harry Hillstrand opened the game with a single through short. Billy Darrow pulled one of the neatest bunts possible when he showed the ball towards second base. Huber 1 had gone to cover second while Pat rus was watching third with Jasper coming in for the bunt. The bell | went past Carlson and although Bates fielded it, his throw was late. Carlson dropped the ball and Hill strand went to third on the error. He scored when Goeb drove liner at Carlson's krees. The ball bounded | to Huber who retired the batter at [ first but a run was in.
 l Neither team scored in the next three frames. although Corbins had men on in the second and third. Bates and Carlson were on third

INTEREST AROUSED
OvERI.C. C. CHANGE
Business Interests Ask President to
Name Man Holding National
Viewpoint" as Halls Successor.

By the Associated Press.
Business is taking n great interest
in the selection of a successor to
Henry c. Hall of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, who has informed
President Coolidge that he desires to
resign.
Influence Is being exerted upon the
President to name man who holds
"a national viewpoint" on transpor-
tation problems rather than one who
would be governed by the needs or
his particular section of the country.
This argument has found the Chief
Executive sympathetic.
1t has been generally regarded that,
since Commissioner Hall lives in Col
orado. Mr.. Coolidge will select resi-
dent of one of the Rocky Mountain
states, but he does not feel himself
bound to do so If he should find
no one there whom he considers
qualified. 1t has been said at the
White House that while the Presi
dent would like to name Western
man, he would not hesitate to go
elsewhere for the commissioner he
wants.
There has been no information as
to the exact date on which Commits
sioner Hall will resign. IT is con-
sidered probable that he will with
hold his resignation until the Presi-
dent has decided upon his successor.
Among those who have been mem
toned are: A. \. Belts OF Arizona,
David j. Howell of Wyoming, James
l.. Shaughnessy and Dan V. Stephens
of Nebraska, but there is nothing to
Indicate that Mr.. Coolidge has limited
the field to these.

HIGH-TYPE STUDENTS
URGED FOR COLLEGE
U. Of P. Alumni Group Seeks Best
Secondary School Graduates
for Alma Mater.

The report of the committee on re.
lations with secondary schools read
today at the National Conference of
Associated Pennsylvania Alumni
Clubs. being held at the University
Club, urged cooperation on the part OF
individual clubs and members to bring
The best class of secondary school grad
yates of the university.
Great stress was laid on the impor-
tance of appealing particularly to the
preparatory school boy in preference
to the high school graduate. The best
method of attracting any boy, 1t was
Indicated, Is by athletics and home
town publicity, which proceeds on the
theory that given localities are most
interested in the accomplishments Of
their own students; that news con-
cerning those students forms a per-
sOnal tie between the community and
the university which can be approx.
mated in no other way; that news OF
this type Is the best type of alumni
contacts; and that it is one of the best
ways of attracting future students. as
it makes the university personality
and not vague imperSonal force in
the hundreds of towns and schools
from which the student body is re-
cruited.
The proposal 10 move the unaer-
graduate departments of the univer.

of the committee and the delegates in
general. A tract of ground at Valley
Forge has been offered to the uniyer.
