Gives War as an Excuse

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—That he was unable to leave France because of the war was the plea made today In behalf of .lack Johnson, the prize fighter, when forfeiture of his $15,000 bond was asked.

The court ruled that unless a new bond is furnished within twenty days the old one will be forfeited.

NO WONDER LOCAL ELKS WON

With Such Stars as Beggs, Becker, Bigwood, Lahr, Steffen, Etc., How Could They Lose?

With such recognized stars of the diamond behind him as Henry Becker, A1 Lahr, Wayne Bigwood, "Kid" Steffen, etc., it was no task for Terre-ir Mogul Webb Beggs to stand the BloomIngton Elks on their heads in yesterday's clash at Athletic park, won by the local collection of phenoms, 9 to 5. The big majority of runs secured by the visitors were gifts, not by Beggs supporters, but by the putrid umpiring of Lennie Madden and Charles Stein. According to Henry Becker, the two would-be indicator handlers had it In for the home crowd and walked man after man when they were clearly the S. O. victims of Beggs' pitching skill.

Judging from the count the umpires got in their "dirty" work right off the reel as the Bloomington outfit shoved three runs over in the Initial attack. From then on, however, they were helpless even though having ten or eleven men in the field.

Once the local Elks swung Into ac

Sport Comment

The Braves didn't blank the Pirates yesterday, although they did nose them out In the tenth. Maranville's homer ended the agony In the first extra frame.

Johnson and Bluejacket, two Indian fiingers, fought It out yesterday, the former getting the edge, 2 to 0. Johnson is a member of tne K. C. Feds, while his rival is on the pay roll of the Brooklyn Feds.

"Hank" Paynter held the Athletics to seven runs, not a bad stunt considering the short left field wall at the Rapids.

The lone error behind Matty yesterday made possible the winning runs chased over by the Cubs in the ninth. With one down, Stock dropped a throw at third after getting the umpire's decision, and the side should have been retired without trouble, as the next man lined out. A hit followed, plunging the Giants down to defeat.

Getting off to a five-run lead in the first round, the Cards were never in danger in yesterday's battle with the Superbas. The final count was 7 to 2.

Benton's southpawing was too much for the Phillies, the Reds copping, 4 to 2. The losers were held to four plows.

First Base Jinx Gets'em Every Time

Looks as if the first base job at Pittsburgh was surely haunted. No matter who gets on the cushion, down goes his batting average, and away goes his reputation. Man after man has tried that place, and all have failed. One or two—like Jack Miller—have made good after escaping from Pittsburgh, and

locating in some other city. Most of them go to pieces, and those who are imported with a great reputation soon fade Just as Konetchy has done this

season. "Was a curse pronounced upon the place when Jakey Abotein was banished after sharins in a world's championshlp?

He was asked when he expected to "be able to work and reported that his injured ankle was progressing well anc! that he hoped to be in shortly. "I could pitch nil right, but the ankle, bothers me in batting1. I can't take mv swing-. As soon as I feel right at the plate I will be in there again," eaid Miles. This player's batting average is .075. and he has made two hits in twenty-eight times at bat this year.
