"111,111.. ii. v..! at ti , TMI tnnlc n fall nut of
i xuo 41 d uvoi. oh jivun; niv ' . . . ..
Hie Chlcaco Cubs and the Resolute quit being a matuen
JtVtbe Shamrock scries. It was a great day for the United
BUtes and Philadelphia.
Out at Shlbe Park, Scott Perry pitched a Pcrrycsque
' ball game end sent the Browns homeward with the short
tnd of tbr, tcro. This victory gave the Macks three out
f five gamei, acaulng they won the series. All of which
la further cause for a celebration. Winning a scries almost
bds become ft lost art since ltll-l.
A young man named Rayno, who put one over on the
Yankees last week, tried to repent against our team and
fAdilcd. He finished In the idxth by request and Allan
Bbthoron sat In for him. Allan was treated roughly while
la office and thnt made the home victory unanimous.
The hero of the afternoon, from a sltizRiug viewpoint,
Trig, none other than Whttey Witt. Whltry played such
a swell game that Ills terms probably will be accepted by
lyebanou or Conshohocken or wherever they have terms.
The light-headed outfielder had n perfect day nt the plate,
hitting a double, n single, a sacrifice and walking twice.
, lie drove In two ruus, ."cored a pair and put iu a good
afternoon's work.
Frank Welsh and Tilly Walker nloo assisted when
blhgles were needed. Frank drove In the first tally in the
' 'first and Tilly sent home another iu the fifth. In the
eVenth, with Scott Perry on third, Walker decided to
take no chances, so ho walloped a triple to make sure
that Perry would score.
The Phils stepped into an unexpected victory in Chi
'cago, driving Alexander off the mound and winning 0 to 1.
Eppa IUxey couldn't find the home plate In the first
canto and Issued four passes, which sent one rim acroxi.
After that he held the Cubs to three hits. Paillette did
tot play, but Is expected back in the line-up today.
In the eighth inning Cravnth's men put on n belated
Wily and hammered five runs across the pan. This was
the finish of Alexander. Iu fact, it would have been the
finish of any pitcher.
THE first game of the "croocial" series is over
and the Yankees iron from Cleveland How
i ever, it teas by a narrow squeak, for the Indians
l had the hases jammed in the ninth and threatened
10 cop the verdict. Same teams appear today.
Shannon Back After Long Journey
ATJ11ICE SHANNON is back again. The youthful
infielder, who has a temperament worthy of an opera
star, has been accepted for the second time by Connie
Mack and is slated to fill iu at shortstop.
-j Shannon enme here from the Roston Braves, stuck
v around a couple of seasons nnd then wns cast ndrift,
landing back iu Boston on the other end of a trade.
This time he wore a Red Sox uniform and lingered in
Bcantown until the end of last year, when he and Bobby
1 Both were sent to Washington in another trade. Grif
fith asked waivers on him a few dajs ago and Connie
( claimed him. Therefore, Boston and Washington get
assists on the play.
Maurice is not a bad ball player If he can control his
temper. He Is a classy fielder, hits well, aud you can't
i, expect more than that. If he is in the mood, Shannon
can play a wonderful game, but on other occasions his
, Worlc is sad.
When he was here the last time he and Bobby Roth
used to indulge In verbal battles every day. That pair
got along like n prohibition agent in a 'brewery. They
were as close as two mile-posts, and the continual scrap
ping got on Connie's nerves. He decided to give Ed
Barrow a taste of it and sent both to him. Then Barrow
M'

sent them to Washington, making them Inseparable
enemies.
The chances are thnt the war was continued
Griffith's benefit and Clark split the combination.
COXNIE believes Shannon tcill fit in with his
other players and become an asset to the club.
This should prove true if Maurice doesn't loso con
trol of himself.
Johnson Goes "Back Home"
AFTER years of wandering, Jack Johnson finally has
returned to his native land nod soon will occupy thnt
dear hoosc-gow in Chicago which he scorned seven years
ago. Incidentally, he Jumped his ball, which consisted of
$33,000 in cash, Just to travel around and see the world.
Jack never was satisfied when in foreign lands. He
always had a hankering to come back home nnd be near
his friends. Soon after his sudden exit he planned to
return, but feared the law would not be lenient with him.
Once, when playing a theatrical engagement in Scotland,
he had his passage engaged to New York, but was pre
vailed upon to wait n while longer until the "affair
blew over."
Johnson has had Quito a career nnd Is one of our
most famous globe trotters. After disguising himself as
a member of a colored baseball team, he got into Canada
and sailed from there to Englaud. He organized n lic
atrlcal troupe and played in the importnnt cltl6s.
However, he couldn't stand prosperity. He used to
be arrested two nnd three times a week for speeding in
his auto nnd, after he had committed other offenses, was
told to leave the country. He went to Scotland. then to
France nnd finally lauded in Spain.
In Barcelona he opened n gymnasium and did fairly
well. Then he made bis debut and exit on the Bame day
as a bull -fighter. After that he went to Cuba and later
to Mexico just to bo near home, and now is having his
expenfes to Chicago paid by the government.
Johnson still believes he can fight. He had two "bouts
ncross the border with a couple of hams nnd did not show
up very well. He claims he "laid down" to Wlllard in
the Havana battle, hut few, if nuy, believe it.
JOHNSON is close to forty-four years of age.
After he serves his sentence he might return to
the ring, but not as a fighter. Those days appear
to be over. Just like Orovcr Bcrgdoll's.
Dcmpsey Trains for Cash
JACK DEMPSEY has started training. He selected
New York for his training camp, nnd is taking dally
exercise in a gymnasium nt Fifty-seventh street nnd
Eighth n'enuo. Jack hns a reason for this. Although
there are no matches in prospect, he can get iu Bhnpo
before an admiring throng, each admirer paying fifty
cents for the privilege.
The champion should more than pay his expenses in
New York. It's n great little stunt, this public training
and you can't blame him If the public is willing to pny
the freight.

AMERICA never lost a war. America never lost nn

Now come through with a contribution to the Olympic
fund. Send checks, money orders or cash to Middle
States Olympic Committee, care Chandler Bros., 1,'WS

An editorial in the New York Evening
Post brings out in forceful language the
meaning of the Olympic team to Amer
ica. It follows:
"We nre about to send to Antwerp
the strongest Olympic tenm thnt hns
ever left our shores to fnee competition
that hns materially stiffened since the
ndoptlou by foreign countries of our
winning technique. That is ns it idiould
be. Yet the athletic nspect of this
year's Ol.vmnlad is mntched hv Iln nl.
mitotic aspect, its purpose of promoting
international comltv. LonL-eil nt it in
this way, every man entered for this
country is on ambassador extraordinary
of good will to nil the nations with
whoso representatives he contends. Will
It be believed, then, thnt the Amerlcnn
Olympic committee is confronted with
the need of immediate flnnncinl support
In a substantial amount? This is the
exact fact. Tho committee is nctunlly
facing the alternative of cutting down
our renrcscntatlon nt Antwerp simply
because the funds in hnnd or In sight
are not sufficient to meet the necessary
expenses. For n hinglc man to be left
behind for such a reason ns this would
be shameful. It must not be allowed to
happen. It will happen unless the com
mittee receives contributions in gen
erous sums within the next ten days.
Let everybody who realizes how much
is at fctakc rally to the nld of our athletic
expeditionary force and end nny doubt
of our sending n complete team to tho
1020 Olympiad."
The nthletes hnve done their part.
They nre trained to the minute for the
games. It's up to you, Mr. Phllndcl
phian, to do your part. Mnil your
