JOHNSON HAS TOUGH LUCK WITH YANKEES 'By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 30. Walter John son, the veteran, bumped into another peck of hard luck against the Yankees and Sam Jones at the Polo grounds and the Washington club lost 2 to 1 Johnson's teammates had their bat ting eyes patched. Sam Jones was bent on winning a game and Wallie Pipp and Babe Ruth were in a mood to hit home runs. ' Pipp's home run counted what prov ed to be the winning run and Babe's increased his season total to 27. Ruth now is but five behind the Jeaders Ken Williams, of the Browns, Rogers Hornsby of the Cardinals and Clar ence "Tilly" Walker of the Athletics each of whom have 32. Walker's thir ty-second accounted for in yesterday's game against the Red Sox. Ties Count Walker's homer tied the count in the eighth, and Galloway's circuit smash in the tenth won 6 to 5. The St. Louis Browns kept pace with the Yanks by wearing down the Cleveland pitching ace, Uhle. Uhle held the Browns to one hit in ?even and two-thirds innings, then cracked, He walked two batsmen, hit another and was touched for four hits and five runs in the seventh. The Browns won 6-3. Sheely's home run in th tenth with one man on counted a 5 to 3 victory for the White Sox over Detroit. In the National the Cubs strength ened their hold cm second place by opportune hitting that defeatel the Cardinals 15 to 11. Five Card pitchers failed to stem the Cub attack. Brooklyn and Pittsburgh divided two games, the Robins taking the first through Ruether's twirling, 3 to 2 and lost the second, 6 to 0, faiing to bunch their six hits off the veteran Babe Adams. Hubert Pruett Would Have Chance to Star If Browns Should Flay W orld Series If the Erown3 break into the world's series thi3 fall young Hubert Pruett. pitching sensation of the team, will have further opportunities to brin fame to Sikeston, Mo. For Sikeston' interest in baseoau is centered in Pruett, a home-town boy. Sikeston watched Pruett while he was winning attention on the mound for Missouri university in the Missouri college conference. When his college days were drawing to a close Pruett asked the Browns for a trial but they couldn't see him. Last year Manag Fohl looked him over and farmed him to the Tulsa club in the Western league. He came back this year and boys, how he has been going. . Pruett is only 21. And at this age has the ability, the think tank and the "stuff" any big league pitcher would be proud of. Pruett's fadeaway is his best ball. Fohl will swear that it is better than the fadeaway Christy Mathewson fed the National league sluggers to their sorrow. - Series-Winning Game to Be Flayed at Abington ABINGTON, Ind.," Aug. 30. Webster and Abington ball clubs will meet to play off a tie on the local diamond Sunday afternoon. Abington won the first of the encounters with Webster and the latter took the second. Both games were well played and hotly contested, and the third meeting is being locked to to decide which shall hold, the season's series edge. Mercer will pitch for Webster and Alvy will hurl for Abington. Adolph Rettig Is Veteran Rookie of Athletics at 30 A veteran rookie is Adolph Rettig, who made such a sensational debut with the Athletics by giving the Browns a terrible beating. Rettig is 30 years of age. He has been playing baseball at least a decade. He played in the Eastern league several seasons and then tried independent ball. Rettig was free lancing when Frank Bruggie recommended him to Connie. Druggie, dropped by the Phillies, was taken on by Connie and immediately showed his value by catching good ball and tipping Mack off to Rettig. The larger sailing galleys of ancient times carried as high as S00 passengers. HURRY!

Titled Englishman

Forget Old By Fit AN K G. MEXKE Somewhere in 'England there's more or less titled person who re members Bob Fittsimmons with painful recollection. For ' Fitz ever playful and usually quite enough in his boyish mood once performed for that Englishman one of his quaint and' rather famous tricks. - Fitz was assailed somewhere on the Indian Ocean bound from England to Australia. That was nearly fifteen years ago, when Fitz was journeying to the Antipodes to engage- in what was perhaps to be his last fight. On the boat Fitz, wishing to be left alone, wasn't annoyed much except on the first day out of Singapore. The Englishman had climbed aboard there and was wildly anxious to meet the Cornishman. Eventually lie did .Then he began to gush. Bah, jove, or fellow", he began. Then in enthusiastic fashion he told Fitz he remembered seeing pictures of him fighting Jim Corbett. Fitz tried to break away but; the Englishman persisted in holding Fitz in conversa tion and mainly on the Corbett fight. You hit him ah on the ah What do you call it ah yes, the so lar system, was it noti he exclaimed. Gives Confidential Dope Fitz decided to end the conversation. for that day. So, with a burst of con fidential enthusiasm he grabbed the lapels of the Englishman's coat and yowled : Solar plexus solar plexus that was it Y'see, ol fellow, that blighter of a Corbett poked a left at me so and then a right and then I feinted me right this way and then, oh then I swune my leftinto his solar plexus like this." With the power that corpett more or leSB vaguely remenmers, xnz ai the Englishman square in the pit of th stomach. He dropped, as if shot. They picked him up, packed him into his stateroom and never afterward would he get within 50 feet of Mr. Robert Fitzsimmons, punch demonstrater. Didn't Realize Power Fitz never realized the power of his blows when he was in one of his play ful moods nor did he realize it in his staee work. Years ago he starred in ine vil lage Blacksmith." In one act oi the nlav the villain, a big bruiser hired to play the part because of hi3 size, tried to steal the sweetheart of Fitz That was Fitz's cue to hop forward and tickle the villain a few times Then the villain was to crumple in to a neat heap. But one night Fitz forgot his cuesomewhat. He dashed at the villain at the correct moment aJl right. But once within sinking distance, he failed to remember he was an actor. So he swnnff a rieht and then a left in lightning succession. The right hit the villain In the stom ach, lifted him off his feet and while he was in the air, the Cornishman' left landed on the rim of the jaw. A3 a result, the villains body sailed through the air, bumped against the scenery, knocked it in wild disorder onto the stage floor, one piece nearly breaking the heroine s dear, ' swan like neck. Joke on Fitz While Fitz was training for his first fierht with Jeffries, in which he lost his title, many of his cronies used to drop around his camp, especially on Sundavs. One of them, often the vie tim of Fitz's jokes, evened up things one day by playing a joke on Fitz Fitz accepted it in good grace and said nothing. The following Sunday the boys again called around including the jokester. Eventually Fitz excused himself from the room. He returned five or ten minutes later all excited about having sen a huge fish caught on a nearby pier. Naturally everyone wa3 curious Fitz agreed to lead the way. The gang trooped after him. They arrived on the pier and galloped up against a lone fisherman. At that moment Fitz broke into a boisterous laugh. Going to

YOU'LL NEED A COROtf A CORONA simple but sound in construction, easily mastered and ready for use under any condition is a favorite with college students who have theses to write and briefs to prepare and lectures to report on. You may bang at it unmercifully when you are rushing to get stuff through at the last minute, but it Is always ready for more. It is light as a goose quill, but impervious to pounding. You can lug it around 'with you without any trouble wherever you go-,' tad you will, after you have it for a while. COR.ONA is as simple to write with as a pen and ink when you get the hang of it. You can learn to manipulate it like a veteran in 15 minutes, and after that the grind of writing will be good fun. For as little as $5.00 a month you can now own one at these wonderful little 6; 2-pound machines. Phone us today.

Will Never Bob Fitzsimmons 'What's the joke," asked one of the boys. 'Remember 'im playin' a joke on me last week?" exclaimed Fitz pointing to the jokester of a week ago. "Wasn't that a great Joke, hey, old fellow." And with that Fitz, who had lured the crowd out into the pier merely to see him even up the joke stuff, deliberately slapped the jokester so hard that he knocked him into the ocean.
