ERSKINE HURLS FIRST NO HIT,
 NO RUN GAME
Moose Star Lands Tn Hall of Fame with 5-to-0
 Victory Over Elks
RESULTS YESTERDAY Moose 5, Elks 0 tpostponed gamel.

There's a pedestal in Baseball's Hall of Fame being dusted off for Claude Erskine today The Moose star earned that right last night when he hurled the first no-hit, no run game of the 1895 City League season as the Black Sox shut out the Elks, to 0. Once before this year a no-hit game has been tossed. That occur red on June 13 when Dave Turner, another Moose, beat the selfsame Elks, to l, allowing no hits. How ever, one unearned tally slipped across the plate to spoil that fine performance.
 But Erskine, last night, came closer to perfect showing. In sev- en innings only 9 men faced him. The minimum, of course, would have been 21. But one man reached either first or second. Nobody got to third. The only dent in his su- perb work WAS Jimmy Manning s error with which Al Knski was able to reach second in the sixth. -fi Mixes Elm q Erskine mixed up a neat drop with his usual fast one and, as a result, whiffed eight men. Ign But, as though that performance was not enough to please the fans, Koski, Elk hurler, turned up with fine job himself, although it hardly was noticed in the light of Erskine's perfect display. The Elk twirler didn't do so badly himself granting but two hits and two earn led runs.
 In the first frame, the Black Sox scored when Frank Covels singled and came in on an error.
 The second inning found the scoring coming to an end as the Moose added four more to put the game on ice. Dave Turner walked i: Manning was safe on an error l; Roger Stevenson was safe on a fielder's choice as Turner scored i; Stan Grummett pumped dou- ble to left, bringing around Man ming and Stevenson; he, himself, scored a moment later on an error.
 Precious Win
 
 While the game was a satisfac- ton to Erskine, it also was a pre- cious win for his team. It hoisted the Black Sox to half game lead over the Legion in the nip-and-tuck dash for the second half pennant.
 The game was not scheduled un- til late yesterday afternoon, and was postponed from July IA. A Navy exhibition had been slated for play last night, but was cancelled at the last minute"

were widely sought, but he contin- ued in newspaper work as his prin- cipal activity. He served the Uni versity of Missouri several years as chairman of the executive commit tee of the board of curators. He resigned that place in 1908 to be- come dean of the school of journal ism at the suggestion of the Mia- souri Press Association. It was the first separate division in any uni versity organized exclusively for in-, struction in newspaper work. Dr. Williams worked out a curriculum which has been widely copied.
 Not In Politics
 He was urged several times by the Democratic party to become its candidate for governor of Missouri, but consistently declined.
 pr. Williams was born at Boon- vile, Mo, July 2, 1864. In June, 1892, he married Miss Hulda Har- ned of Vermont, Mo. They had two sons and a daughter Mrs. Williams died in 19l8 In October, 1927, the dean married Miss Sara Lawrence Lockwood, graduate of the school of journalism and later a member of the faculty.

WHITE SOX NOW COME UP WITH
 JAPAN BAT BOY


 CHICAGO, July 30.-The White Sex, who years ago introduced to baseball Eddie Bennett, back bat boy who later rooted the Dodg- CTS into world series, in 1920, and later mascotted the Yankees, now have come up with another oddity in bat boys.
 Yosh Komno is his name. He's an undersized Japanese of IA years Manager Jimmy Dykes found Yosh waiting for him in New York, the boy having hitch-hiked all the way from California ostensibly to visit an uncle living in New Jersey. (The uncle hasn't seen him yet)

which lad m 1ch to do with i reaping .ylch s4 financial harvest.
 Why That One Drew


 First of all there was the tre- lnendous popularity of Young Strib- ling in the south. Jack Dempsey stepped into the picture when an untimely death took Tex Rickard out of the promoters chair. It all helped to build up the gate for that success
 But the crowds did not flock to the Sharkey-Scott bout. That fias- co drew less than a $200000 gate. Camera and Maloney drew some where in the neighborhood of s50,- 900 while the Camera -Loughran fight for the heavyweight cham picnship proved to be the biggest failure of all when it attracted even less than that figure.
 Nothing in these figures to indi- cate that at some future date the stadium might pay for itself. The Garden isn't likely to attempt staging another big fistic show in Miami-not for a while at least. If the south should develop another boy with following that would come close to Stribling's, they might change their minds. In the mean time the task of dismantling the big arena-that is, the part of it that has not already been destroy ed by the termites-will go on. Two Years r51 Buddy 1. At the tender age of 20 Buddy Baer, the younger but bigger broth CT of Max is allowing himself just two years more to carve out his niche in boxing's hall of fame. If 1t can't be done in that time-it never will be done.
 At least in those two years Bud dy hopes to acquire bank account Of sufficient proportions to enable him to leave the ring fairly fixed and settle down on the ranch he IS buying from Ancil Hoffman. the manager of the Baer Brothers.
 Even in the limited time allotted himself the younger Baer may go far, for he is well equipped for sery- ica in the ring. Almost as tall as Camera, he has whittled his weight down to the point where the 240 pounds he carries is an asset, not a liability. A fair boxer with a neat left jab, he boasts a fair turn of speed Above all he packs a ter rifle punch.
 While Buddy hopes to follow in his older brothers footsteps as far as gaining the worlds title is con cerned, his campaign is mapped out along lines in direct contrast to his brothers play-boy methods.
