CLEVELAND, July 9.--Jee Judge

major leagues. When the curtain
falls on this pennant race Judge
will hang up his shoes, throw away
his glove and go to work selling

I've seen great possibilities in the

That Judges announcement means
something to Manager Harris is

LOU GEHR|G
CARRIES ON

1t was case of give and take
at Detroit yesterday. the Yankees
giving way to the Tigers in the
first game, IL to 8, and taking the
second, 10 to s, while Babe Ruth
took a toe hold against one in the
second game and Gehrig, therefore.
was forced to give ground in the
home run sweepstakes. the score OF
which now stands % to %, in favor
of Gehrig.
The baby that's known as Lou
got three hits, including a long
triple, in the first game, against
none for Ruth, but the Babe came
back in the second. Pitchers were
worth a dime a dozen all after
noon. the Tigers scoring 10 runs on
81 hits and the Yanks Is runs on
rs hits. The Tigers pulled a triple
steal on Shawkey in the first game.
Speaking of pitching, Charley
Root, of the Cubs, really showed
them some in Pittsburgh. He
let the Pirates down with one
hit, single by GOOch with two
dead in the eighth. In con.
sequence, the Cubs pulled out a
1-tO-O decision over the Pirates
and Meadows, the latter being
robbed of a shut-Out when Tray.
nor threw wild on Beck in the
second inning. The victory
heightened the cubs lead to
full game.
The wabbling Cardinals blew an
other, this time to the Braves,
to 2. They got good pitching from
Haines, but the Braves got better
from Greenfield. The defeat placed
the Cards six games back of the
pace.
Sad Sam Jones was very sad as
a pitcher. the Athletics slapping
him down with Ii hits, including
Simmons homer and triple, and
beat the Browns, Z to- 5.
With the stage set in dime
novel style in the eleventh,
Critz singled with three on and
two out, the Reds taking the
decision over the Phils, 8 to 5.
Nehg pulled the game out with
his relief pitching after Rixey
had blown.
The Red Sox surprised everybody
including themselves, by beating
the White Sox, IL to S. although
the latter got Ia hits off Russell
and Harriss. The winners got /;
but they made them count.
The Giants jumped upon Bill
Doak's splitter for nine hits in the
first four innings and the Robins
never got close. The final score
was 8 to 2, Benton turning in his
best game for McGraw to date.

BANS
SUCCESSOR

NEW YORK. July 9.--Having be-
headed Ban Johnson, its organizer
and one-time car, the American
League today was on the lookout
for his successor. to begin opera
tions on and after November /,
and the leagues main requirement,
it was understood, was that the
new man must be a conformist.
1t is weary of the constant wrang-
ling and strife, which featured the
late years of Johnson's game but
losing battle against Judge Landis'
rule.
Even Bans last gesture was a
fighting one. Forced finally to ac-
cept the inevitable, he penned a
brief but pointed resignation, nam
ing November 1 or earlier as the
date of his retirement and spurning
the leagues money with naughty
pride.
His contract carries over until
1885 at $4,000 a year, but he
cOntemptu0usly tossed the $780,
900 back at the magnates by
declaring that he wanted no
money after he stepped down.
e. s. Barnard, president of the
Cleveland club; Frank Navin, De
troit owner: William ,Harridge,
Johnson's faithful secretary, and
several others continued to be
prominent today in discussions OF
Johnson's possible successor. Barn
ard is understood to be merely a
salaried employee in Cleveland, but
Navin would have to dispose OF
his Detroit holdings il he accepted

him with short, staggering drives.

fairly on Tunney's chin, it's pos
sibIe that Gene might have gone
down and out.
But Gene was nobody's joke that
night. He just cody, carefully
gagged those long shots, stepped out
side of them-or inside-and belted
me every time l missed. And so
Gene was landing, while was hit.

II / haven't been trying to knock

more than dozen punches that

there was the old temptation to let

discarded the hsymaker and am

very little accomplished or settled.

Board Announces.

Indications that the better homes

ed by the Washington Real Estate
Board this October at the Washing
ton Auditorium will be considerably
larger than last year are being given
by the increase in requests for res
ervations for space, as compared to
this time last year. it was announced
today by the board. Already a great
number of exhibitors who took part
in last years show have indicated
their desire to take space, and in a
ma jority OF cases desire larger and
more elaborate exhibitions.
Among the features of the show
last Fall which proved of particular
interest and which are closely re-
lated to the home, were exhibits by
the Visiting Nurses Society of the
District of Columbia, the American
Red Cross. the Public Library and
the Potomac Electric Power Co. 1t is
expected that many Of these exhibits
will be again shown on a much more
elaborate and informative scale.

committee in charge to have well
