Frank Duning JOHSOH'S PITCHING WORRIESJGRIFFITH Walt Fails to Break Into the Winning Column as Clark Expected. BY FRANK G. MENKE. NEW VORK, May 15 What ails Walter Johnson? seems to be a subject in which the nation is more vitally interested than in Mexico, the Panama tolls question or anything else. The poor showing made so far by the Washington "speed kin?" Is one of the greatest surprises of the baseball year. Not only has he been beaten with frequency, but he has been thoroughly, ingloriously beaten driven from the box by a rain of hits off his one time practically unsolvable delivery. "fm stale I guess that's it," is Johnson's explanation. "Guess I overtrained this spring. My arms seems as good as ever. I feel fine physically, but 1 can't seem to get the 'stuff on the ball. But I'm not worried." Perhaps Johnson isn't worried. But Clark Griffith, boss of the Senators Is worried and worried in the extreme. Johnson's slump rudely awakened Orif from his rosy pennant dreams. Grif figured Johnson good for about ?,? out of 40 starts and looked to his youngsters to add enough additional victories to enable him to "horn" his way into the 191 1 world's series. But with the Peerless Walter wabbling Grif finds life naught but a drab and drear existence. Chance Reforms. It must have gladdened the hearts of American league umpires to learn 1 hat Franh Chance, manager of the Yankees, and once the terror of arbitrating persons, has "reformed." Chance himself is authority for the reformation stntement. "The public no longer wants rowdyism, nor does it want games delayed by petty bickering," said Chance, "and so I' mthrough as far as arguing with i:mpires is concerned. It don't get you anything." Yes, it does, Frank. It used to get you vacations ranging from one day upward, and, if memory serves us right, it used to bring about a thinning of your pay envelope. Coughed for Three Years. "I am a lover of your godsend to humanity and science. Your medicine: Dr. King's New Discovery, cured my cough of three years standing," says Jennie Flemming, of New Dover, Ohio. Have you an annoying cough? Is it stubborn and won't yield to treatment? Get a "0c bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery today. What it did for Jennie Flemming it will do for you, not matter how stubborn or chronic a cough may be. It stops a cough and stops threat and lung trouble. Relief or money back. 50c and $1.00.

KLING KEEPS WORO Catcher Declines to Join the Pirate Team. BY LEASED WIRE CINCINNATI. May 15.-Catcher Johnny Kling's word to (larry Herrmann is the only thing that bars him from accepting an offer made him recently by Ibo Pirates, according to Johnny Rvers of the Braves. "And I'll tell you that offer is one ri the biggest ever made a hall player," said Kvors. "Hut Kling won't accrr;. Tlu Pirates want him. realizing that unless they get some experienced ;ifrhrr to take Oihson's place, if he is hrrt, they are out of the pennant fight. "But when Kling unit the Reds, he premised Herrmann that he'd never play with another ball team at least net without Herrmann's sanction. And Klin:; will keep his word. Of course, if Herrmann releases him from his promise '" need not be surprised if you hear about Klins becoming a Pirate one of these days."

Pitcher Downs' St. Louis Feds

Tom Seaton added another victory to his rapidly growing list at the expense of the Mordecai Brown's St. Louis Feds yesterday. Seaton's effectiveness enabled his team mates to win by a 4-1 score. FROMJTATE MEET High School Coach Bends Energies to Taking "Big Four" Events. At the last minute it was decided not. to send a representative team from the Richmond high school to the Indiana state high school meet to be held at Wabash College, Crawfordsville, tomorrow. The loss of several of the best athletes in the school, owing to the faculty ban at the time of the painting affair, was the cause assigned for the withdrawal of the Richmond entries. Anolher reason for the action is that to win the Big I'our meet, to be staged between Anderson. Marion, Kokomo and Richmond next Saturday at Anderson, is the aim of Nohr's men, who are taking no chances of getting out of condition for that contest. The state moot was staged here last spring, and the oniy local athletes who r-howed well from the Richmond school were Burrell McKee and W. Kampe. As both of these men would be inlif;ible to take part, in the meet it was thought best to cancel the Richmond entries. Wingate, twice winner of the state basketball championship, has entered fifteen men in the events, and hopes to add track honors to its long string of victories.

READY FOR OPENER AT ATHLETIC PARK Mayor Robbins Promises to Open Bombardment by Shooting First One Over Next Sunday. Mayor Robbins has consented to pitch for Richmond in the formal opening of the season with the Hello Boys, of Cincinnati, Sunday. It is not likely that the Quaker City father will last the entire nine innings, but Harry Patti, president of the R. A. A., vouches for his appearance on the mound at least long enough to heave the first one across the pan. Before the rival nines clash Mayor Robbins will deliver an address on the fine points cf the game. His talk is scheduled to begin right after the curtain raiser, and will last long enough to let local fans learn just what the mayor knows about the game. A new departure from cards of the past will be a curtain raiser to be played between the Richmond Sena- ! tors and either the Murray or Nap ! teams of this city. This will be the first of a series of games for the decision of the city championship. The winner of this game will be billed to play another title claimant the following Sunday. The score book will also make its appearance on this day. No score book had been issued at the last two games, but beginning with Sunday will be issued regularly. Advertisers of the city have made liberal response with advertisements, and 176 business houses and firms of the city have taken space in the issue. George Brusher had charge of the advertising end of the book. The question as to who will fill Wilber's position in left field is still bothering Kenney. Wilbers is now with Draper's Appalachian leaguers, and has left Kenney a big hole to fill. Dick is negotiating with several fast Cincinnati semi-pros, however, and says that he will have the gap filled when the team takes the field Sunday. The remainder of the line-up will be the same as used last Sunday. Turtle soup at Braxton's Friday and Saturday. 15 2t WITH THE MAJORS REDS TAKE SECOND.

HUERTA'S FALL PRESAGES WFACTIOII (Continued from Page One)

and signals, but today neither would talk of the conclave. Indicates Popular Feeling. This was but one indication of the growth of fresh revolutionary feeling. Fears are being aroused that Mexico may come into the same category as the Central American states and of the South American states, where changes of government are common occurrences, and the spirit of revolution always simmering. Word from Tampico says that the Constitutionalists are trying to make a good impression upon the foreign powers, especially the United States, by maintaining order in that battlescarred city. General Gonzales has established a military police force, and the city is being cleaned up. The soldiers are being treated in hospitals. Guards have been established around the old prop erties or American and British capitalist. The fire which was caused by the rebel artillery did little damage. Asks Business Resumption. General Gonzales issued a manifesto to the people of Tampico, asking them to resume normal business affairs, assuring them that they would be protected. General Zaragoza is now believed to have escaped to the gunboaj Zaragoza, which was lying in Panuco river durthe battle. Together with the Vera Cruz and the Iiravo, the Zaragoza passed down to the mouth of the river when the Federal retreat began. Another report said Genertl Zaragoza was an a train bound for San Luis Potosi wil a few of his trcops. Practically all of the dead have been burled, except corpses of soldiers who were shot down in the brush and swaps along the Panuco and Tamos rives, west of the city. Rebels Clean Up Debris. A detachment of Constitutionalists is cleaning up the debris left by the destruction of the Federal ammunition depots which were blown tin just as the government troops evacuated. Although there was some looting, it was said that the period immediately following the capture of Tampico was more ordcry than that after the taking of Torreon and Gomez Palacio. Villa sent word to his officers to repeal the rule giving their troops fortyi; ' 'i'-vrr, fer licf.isc and nillage. and , to shoot any who disobeyed orders against, lootuig. General Cabelleros, : one of the Constitutionalist leaders, j said that martial law would not be j proclaimed until it became absolutely necessary. He also said that the custom house would be opened today. General Carranza is eomntemplating making Tampico the provisional capitol and to order large supplies of arms and ammunition to be consigned there from the United States. However, this may be rendered impossible by a blockade of the harbor by the thre Mexican gunboats, Zaragoza, Vera Cruz and Bravo. Money for Munitions. However, even if Huerta does order a blockade, the Constitutionalists have plenty of money, and there are always daring men to engage in blockade running, if the pay is sufficiently big. Constitutionalists scouts have been south to ascertain the strength of the Federal navy in front of Vera Cruz commanded by Generals Navarette and Penagnrcia. It, is possible that there may be a battle almost at the American outposts. Other Constitutionalists are being deployed between Mexico City and Cordoba to prevent Huerta's flight to that city of to Puerto Mexico. The Malay states have a coin worth one-five-tbousandth part of a cent.
