JOHNSON PITCHES A NO HIT GAME The first thirteen years ar< '.lie hardest evidently, for it was not until his fourteenth year in major circles that Walter Johnson hitless ball for nine innings.

Doubles Feature The feature of the doubles play today was the Patterson-Schlesinger and Starbuek-Kohn match. The lat- | ter pair from this city should make * an interesting battle for the players from the far-away land. Burdick and Sagalowsky, anew combination from Indianapolis, were to try conclusions with Tranter and ; Roberts, a Franklin, Ind.. doubles j team. , FIRST day NOTES The first day s play was run off in roc- • 9**'* fashion.

Luckiest Man in Baseball
B*- VFA Service ILWAUKEE. July I. "The luckiest man in baseball.” That's what Milwaukee fans call Otto Borc-hert, president of the local American Association team. Five years age- “O. B.” purchased the Brewers. In all this time he has not been rained out a single Saturday or Sunday game at home. Not only has Borchert seen his team play with no rain interfer ence, but he has amassed a fortune in sales of players that cost little more than a song. To wit: Denny Gearin, cost ?750; sold for $25,000. Joe Hauser, cost nothing; sold for $25,000. A1 Simmons, cost nothing; soli for $60,000. Glenn Myatt, cost nothing, included in Joe Hauser deal; sold for $50,000. Wid Matthews, cost $1,000; sold fob $15,000. Jimmy Cooney, cost $2,500: sold to St. Louis Cardinals for $15,000. Borchert's team is having poor luck this season and he may be forced to part with some of his easy money in order to get the Brewers out of the rut. It is said Borchert is willing to sell.

Karons as manager. He look Catcher D.xnn and Infielder Sheppard with him. Players Scatter G. Davis will join Memphis and L. Davis, a local A. B. C. product, will go to Ben Taylor's Washington team Stamps anil Red us probably will join the Browns. When the A. B C.s w. re disfranchised and cast adrift they had won only three games and lost nineteen. In taking the A B. C.s’ place in the league, Memphis accepted the big handicap in the standing left by the local club. Raids made by eastern colored teams on the A. B. C.s this spring are blamed for the collapse of the once powerful local aggregation and caused it to lose and support. Hope for Future Isoss of the franchise comes t: a blow to Indianapolis colored h.-tsehull fans, but the league directot.- were forced to make the move. Perhaps some time in the future the A s will i*e re-organized and bolstered and U. reby regain the berth The late C. I. Taylor played a leading part in organizing the colored league and for a number of years his club drew heavy attendance. He worked hard to put cclored baseball on an honest clean and sound footing and ho was successful. Eight clubs are in the Negro National League. The Kansas City Monarchs are the current leaders. Other teams are Chicago American Giants, Detroit, Birmingham, St. Louis, Cubans, Cleveland and Memphis.

TOLEDO RAPS BUSHMEN IN OPENER OF SERIES Indians Crack in Field and Fail to Hit With Men on Base —Petty Pitches Second Game, By EDDIE ASH Keep your eyes on the Toledo Hens. The moulting season is over for the cackling squad from the banks of the Maumee and the team looks fresh and powerful. Jimmy Burke is carrying nine pitchers and there are plenty of good ones included on the staff. Jimmy says he has the darkhorse pennant candidate and predicts a flag for Toledo.
The Hens have been going at a gallop recently and the other seven A. A. clubs fear them. Rival managers cast longing eyes at that hurling crew, consisting of Scott, Naylor, Giard, Baldwin, Bradshaw, Blume, Johnson, Frey and McCullough. Pinch .Missing While the Hens are rising the Indians are skidding. In the series opener at Washington Park Monday the Toledo boys romped off with a 6-to-3 victory. Fitzsimmons opposed Giard on the mound and the defeat wasn’t all Fitz’s fault. The Tribe defense cracked at third base and in center field and the Indians at bat were not there with the punch. It’s true the Tribesmen had bad luck on a few hard hit balls, but the punch in the pinch was lacking, nevertheless, and the wild Giard didn't need relief. He didn’t pitch as well as Fitz, but he won—and that’s what counts in the standing. Jess to Try It Jess Petty was to be sent to the Tribe mound today in the second fracas of the series. The Indians became desperate after the Monday set-hack and they hoped to get back on their feet this afternoon. Manger Bush planned to use the same batting order today that he used Monday. The leading Colonels annexed a double-header from the Columbus Senators Monday and gained a flock of points. M r ANAGER PUSH was chased from the lot by Field Umpire i—Connolly in the seventh in..:i.g Monday. It was Bush’s first banishment this season. He ap pe.u-ed to be correct in his protest on a Incision a. second base. Fitz had terrific speed and struck out t ight Hens Catcher Gaston had a peculiar record at the plate. He fanned the first two trips and then collected a triple and double. Popular Ralph Shlnners banged out a home-run for Toledo in the ninth. Ralph got two* hits. When Rush was banished, Otto Miiler wa ■ placed in charge of the Indians. 11* batted for Allen in the ninth and nearly delivered with a home-run. The drive came down in Strand’s glove far out near the left field fence. , R r——— KHG is a star In left field, but he is lost in center. He is having difficulty in Judging the long ones. Allen has improved wonderfully as a fielder and many fans would like to see him tried in center, thus releasing Rehg for bis old sun station. Outfielder Strand and Pitcher Naylor. Philadelphia Athletics, players obtained by the Hens in a trade for Outfielder Lamar, arrived Monday In tint-' to t*c available. Strand played left and did a very good job. lie go; an infield hit, a double on a fly that fell safe and a triple on a lung fly that Rehg misjudged. Mud Hens Take First INDIANAPOLIS.

The Nut Cracker — MR. B. KITH -—-I HE BABE IS THE MOST STIRRING VOICE IN BASEJ BALL’S ENSEMBLE. THE NATION BENDS A REVERENTIAL KNEE TO THE ELOQUENT, RUMBLING BASS OF HIS BAT. ! J_ I The Babe not only hits twice as many homers as anybody else but hits 'em twice as far, twice as robustly and twice as magnificently. The Babe is the only player in baseball who is sure of a rousing razz when he (ana. Tins is the true test of genius. Errors of the mediocre never stir the multitudes to commotion. -I- -I- -ISHE Babe is. the hero of the masses, idol of the bleacher soviets and high priest of balldom's black shirts. He has wrenched the sport from the clutch of the cold, unromantic technicians and stripped it bare of such parlor shams as “inside stuff” and “managerial strategy.” THE BARE HAS BROUGHT A SIMPLICITY AND A DEMOCRACY TO THE GAME THAT IT NEVER KNEW BEFORE. TRANSLATED IN TERMS OF THE FIELD IT IS. "SWING FROM THE HIP.” •1- -i- 'l' The Babe never leaves any room for speculation. The pitcher knows in advance that the Babe lias blood in hi 9 eye and murder in his bat The pitcher has no choice. EUher he must throw the ball over the grandstand or pitch and watch the ball sail over the center-field wall. .!_ j. j_ mHE Babe’s system satisfies the bugs thoroughly. It requires no great amount of thought and perception to grasp the subtle ingredients of a four-base hit. And besides it is much easier to get worked up over a four-base hit than a one-base hit, or a swinging bunt, or a Texas leaguer.
