The Beésse-Leland nine will practice tonight at 6:30 o'clock at St. Mary's field. Theé Corbin Red Sox will practice at S§t. Mary's field tomorrow evening ard again on Fri‘day evening. Mrs. Mallory now has worked her| way to the third round match in the middle states tennis title meet. Robins yesterday took their 7-1, this time The fourth straight game, from the Phillies Harold Weir, weil known local baseball star, left today for Vermont, where he has enrolled at the Troy Conference school. Good reports should be heard from him in the ath- letic circles there. He was captain of last year's High school baseball team. Thus far no captain for next vear's team has been chosen. Both Beagle, star first sack- er, and Gray, sterling twirler, have keen mentioned. Bach is indispens- able to the team, and owing to fra- ternity factions at the school it is not improbable that no captain will be elected, thus.avoiding friction and making it sure that each man will be on the squad giving his- best next gpring. . This was the method followed on the basketball squad last year when trat troubles threatened. Hjerpe, third sacker on the High gchool team, accompanied Weir to the YVermont school today. Now is the report that the Cards may =ell Rogers Hornsby and several other players, building up a new team next year. This report follows that of the clash between the atar slugger and Rickey. Stoneham of the Giants denies he has been asked to sell. The National league also has a pretty race for aecond- place. Today the Pirates are there by virtue of trimming the Reds ~ The Shamrocks will practice this evening at St. Mary's field. All can- didates are asked to report to “Uncle” Conley and George Leghorn at 7 p. m.

WALTER JOHNSON IS FINE PLAYER (Continued From Preceding Page) stooped to unsportsmanlike methods in order to increase his effectiveness, When at the helght of his career, Johnson could have made himself practically invinelble if he occ n- ally resorted to the “bean ball" thereby intimidating the batsmen, A Real n “I don't want to win ball games” IJnmmm onge replied in answer to why hé never resorted to such @ method, “and I would never myself if I injured some one in that way," | As a resuit batsmen { Johnson, possessor of more speed than any pitcher in the history of the game, without the slighteat fear, were aware that he would throw at them, No umpire can ever recall John- son making & serious kick and no doubt we have slipped many a tough one against Walter, “Fussing with t umpires never helped any pitch The umpires | ike to do their work well, just as I like to pitch a good game, I have always felt that the less you fuss with the umpire, the better he works, This episode in which T was the umpire, best illustrates what a re | markable character Johneon is: Johnson Settled Dispute In the ninth inning of a ball game, with two out and the winning run on thiM, the batsman hit to the first baseman, Johnson went over to take the throw.
