~~ FORLERD INAMERIGAN LEAGUE Walter. Johnson Hurls No-Hit Game in 107th Shutout Victory; League Race Holds Promise of Great Fight. (By The Associated Press Years may tome, and years may go, but Walter John- son, pitching ace of the Washington Senators, goes right on pitching the brand of ball that made him famous. To- day Johnson holds the distinction of having pitched his second no-hit game in major league baseball, his sixth scoreless game of the season, and the 107th shutout victory of his career. With Washington only one point bebind the league-leading Yankees, FOREST HILLS WILL WITNESS STELLAR PLAY By WALTER CAMP. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—The nat- fonal tennis singles championship at Forest Hills this week undoubtedly will produce some brilliant and ex- citing tennis but it is doubtful if it will produce anything more sensa- tional than the desperate fight against the odds of general tennis exhibited by the Kinrey brothers in defeating the Anzacs, Patterson and O'Hara Wood, at Longwood in the national doubles. In the club house Friday after- noon, the Kinseys were to:d by many a tennis friend that their lobbing would never go against the Austral- jans. The writer heard one of our best ted tennis players say to Howard Kinsey: “You can't play that game against Patterson. He will simply murder those lobe.” To which the calm Howard replied: “Well. we can try. We're not beaten And when the Australians, after losing the first set staged a great come-back and went into the lead, one heard on all sides such remarks as this. ‘Now they have struck thelr gait, It’s all over for the Kin- But the plucky paid from.the ‘evast, instead of abandoning their lobbing and accepting the inevitable, imply started out afresh and won eight games in succession and ten minutes later took the final set and the match. What now about the doubles team for the Davis cup? Well, it might not be a bad idea to add Howard Kinsey at least to that list. Sa 2 aa Standings ma National League.

FARRELL NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—(United Press.}—Poor judgment in the selec tion of locations and bad manage ment in the promotion of the pro- gram caused the French Olympic committee to turn up at the comple- tion of the Paris games with a de- ficit of two million francs. This rep- resented a little more than $100,000 Half of the loss was covered by in- surance and the other half had to be borne by the government. When asked if the experience of the French committee didn't make them less anxiois to accept the re- sponsibility for the 1928 games, one of the members of the Amsterdam committee replied that they expected to make money out of thelr games because they intended to apply busi- ness methods to the promotion and organization of the games. ‘The Colombes stdium, where the track and field games were held, was too far from the city. Train service was terrible and it was a 35-minute trip ina cab. The ordinary French- man couldn't afford to hire a cab, and those with money didn’t feel in. clined to do it. With the exception of the final matches in the rugby nd soccer football competition, the Perghing'stadium, erected by the en- «ineers of the A. EB, F., and presented to Paris, would have been adequate and just as good as the Colombes stadium, and it woul have been muth more accessible. ‘The committee spent about 250.000 francs building a tennis plant back of the athletic stadium, It was also too far from the city and, with the exception of the final matches, there were only a few hundred in the stands, .It was a miserable place, and the tournament was_ horribly handled by the insolent Allen Muhr. Muhr, who professes’ to be an American, visited the United States last summer and was entertained royally at Forest Hills and German- town. He pleaded with the United States Lawn Tennis Association to send a team to the Olympic games, pointing out that the Americans would be a big drawing card. When the same officials and play- ers, Who had acted as hosts to him, arrived in Paris, they found him guilty of a very short memory. He didn’t remember, or he didn't have time to recall all the favors that had been done for him, and he proceeded to treat the players Uke a bunch of third-rate prizefighters. The details have been printed be- fore. There is only one regret now, and that fs that Julian 8. Myrick, the association official in charge of the team, didn’t pull the Americans out of the tournament after the first day. All the English-speaking teams would have followed the Americans. Col. A. R.. F. Kingscote, the cap- tain of the British team, was more aroused than Myrick, but for political reasons he did not want tovtalk. He told_newspapermen) however, that Myrick could talk and act for the British and New Zealand teams. Muhr was insolent and insulting, until Myrick pointed out to him that BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball— Tf you want a rule interpreted— If you want to know anything about a play or a player— Write to John B.

It is quite certain that no effi- client American committee couYa lose $150,000 promoting the games, be. cause there would be experienced business men in charge, and they would not act with the {dea-in mind of making it hard for the public and making the customers mad, as they did in Parts. One favorite trick employed by the French was to sell a cheap admis. sion ticket and then tell the posses- sor, when he got inside the walls, that he couldn't get into the stadium. He would then have to buy another ticket. ‘The English and American athletes wero also given the poorest section in the stands. The athletes who not competing were forced to w the games from a position where it was almost impossible to see the fin- sh line. The seats cost the commit tee nothing, as they couldn't have sold them. One, and perhaps the only, fine re- sult that came ofthe games was the very close alliance that was brought about between the British and Amer- ‘can athletes.- Friendly relations were started in Antwerp, where the two teams were forced to ally in de- fense, and the bonds of friendship were strengthenend in Paris for the same reason.
