Southpaw Who Wen Pennant
for Cleveland in ivzu is
Shipped te Miners
I DOC JOHNSTON ALSO GOES
"Duster" Mails Is through.
The erratic reiilhpaw who stepped
hle the breach in the. waning dss of
MM an.1 carried the Cleveland Club
hnuh te a championship, has been
Spned out te the Pacific Coast League.
The Duster's career should be a warn
he te some dizzy young ball players
n fast company who think that they
sn keep up with the sun dodgers dur
i the wee sma'. hours, and still held
W4 S rflt came ti the'blg league as
.member of the Brooklyn National
?,S tenin. He was here. n a
U "f I en Nap Iluckcr, one of
fffffist PertaMew that ever lived,
L finishing out his gorgeous career.
Malls T 'as a fresh, youngster. He
thought that because he had been n
S In the miners that he would go
Innillv big under the big. top.
Sid n't, and it was net long before
he vus rusticating uac m "j (
lrTl!ereClns never nnv question of his
Ml r. He had nil the stuff te make
itnr but he wouldn't quit doing the
things that hurt him, and only one
end could be expected. During the
Mwn of 1020 he was the sensation of
"he Pacific Coast League, and Trls
Sneaker sent a hurry call for him when
the (Mc eland team cracked in the
stretch.
Single handed Mails stemmed the
tide He wen seven straight games,
nd was undoubtedly responsible for
the championship pennant that came
te the Ohie cltv. .In the world scries
he pitched fifteen and two-thirds
Innings without allowing n run. When
h went hack home he was all swelled
nn with pride. That was natural
enough, but the Duster insisted en
carrying his celebration throughout the
winter.
He hnsn't been of much use te Cleve
land since then, and his release was by
no mentis unexpected.
Johnsten Alse Gees
1 Docter Wheeler Johnsten, first base
Ban with the Athletics, has also taken
the long trek down te the bushes, but
the cnerable doctor gees as an cxecu
tic and net as a slave in the ranks.
Johnsten bought his own release in or
der te manage a Pacific Coast League
team. .
Johnsten Iins been up nnd down sev
eral times. Pittsbuig gave him up yeurs
KO ns being all in. but the Dec came
back te the American Lengue, and held
job for n long while.
He has nlas been a credit te base
tall, a brainy player, tee. His legs
have been getting rickety for awhile,
ind he lias been able te get through the
leasen, but in the first few months of
the campaign he gees like n house en fire.
JohnMen gees te the lengue, where
lis brother, Jimmy, new with the
Broekhn Nationals, hung up n record
ef stealing mere than l'JO bases for two
consecutive Reasons.
'ihe coming here of Jee Hhuscr vir
tually signed Johnsten's death warrant
is a major leaguer, for he knew thnt
' he didn't have n chance te beat out
the robust young clubber for Milwau
kee. St. Leuis' Hopes
Last season the Browns finished just
cue game behind the Yankees in the
American League race, in spite of the
fact that there was u pronounced weak
ness in the pitching staff nnd at third
base.
Lee Pohl is already making desper
ate cffeits te strengthen the team. Fif
teen new players hac been purchased,
(ml ten mere recalled, among them
Dave Dan forth, Hemer Kzzel, of San
Antonie, will be groomed te fill EU
terbe's place. The latter has always
been nble te hit fairly well, but he is
a ragged fielder, and many a game
0070d nwav through his position.
Other eungsters who are expected te
make geed are Infieldcr Phil Tedt, Out
fielder Cedric Durst, and Pitchers
Heniv ami Kraft. The sensational
"bowing of Marty McManus last jear
fcns reininced Kehl that he t-lieulil give
the meet liberal opportunities te Ids new
players.
Cobb's Hit
Though euT.vene Is glad that Ty
Cobb reached the .400 mark for the
third time in his magnificent cnicer
there is plenty of censtue being heaped
.011 the shoulder of linn Jehnsen ter
flvlng Cobb the disputed hit. It will
he recalled thnt the efiiclal sceicr gae
that particular blew nn erier, but
twelve newspapermen nnd the Associ
ated Prebs registered it ns n safety.
The umpires are bucked iineqiiho iineqiihe
wlly. and the official scorers should
have the same support. Jehnsen has
et a bad precedent in overruling the
lerer. Though there won't be the snme
outcry Mint there was when Third Ilnsc
wnn lied Cerrlden, of the Drowns, al
owed Xap Lnjeie te beat out eight
Imnts in a double-header In order te
winter n hatting average there will be
eme noise.

JASPER FAILS TO
GET FIELD GOAL
Uptown Fans See Sad Exhibi
tion by "Jewels" in Came
With Trenten
SHORE FIVE WINS ONE
By WILLIAM S. DALLAS
THE Trenten Eastern League Das
ketball team will move into first
place in the standing tonight if they
are successful in their big tilt with the
Camden Skeeters in the Arena at
Trenten,
The Petters edged into n tie for the
lead when they invaded the Hese Oar
den, home of the Jewel... nnd linnded
the uptewners n beautiful trouncing,
score 32 te 8. It was the worst trim
ming ever hrinded a Jasper club en the
home court.
Net once did a blue and white jer
sey cd athlete hit the rim for a two
pointer, and their exhibition of foul
sheeting was se ridiculous thnt n num
ber of youngsters' In the front row
wcre compelled te laugh.
In twcnty-Beven trips te the black
mark the uptewners caged the ball but
eight times, nnd It appeared as If they
wcre nlmlng nt the Dclnjvnre Hlvcr, 11
few miles distant. The "contest" wns
also punctuated by reme rough-house
work en the part of the fans, who seem
te think that "Stretch" Median is te
hlame for being six feet four inches In
height.
Merlarlty FIlvs
A sad mistake was made when Jehn
Merlarlty was started against Median,
and n sadder mlstnUc was made when
Harney Sedrnn's appeal te hnve him
Mmni-eil flvi! minutes nftcr tilav wns
binder wny was 1 ejected. A trained
eye could nave enserveti in tnirty sec
onds that the newcomer was out of
his element nnd wns no match cither
for the league or the giant Mcchnn.
The Petters observed that Median
had n walkaway nnd decided te "feed"
him. While he had plenty of chnnces
te Bcere, he only managed te hit the
cords twice. When the Petters had
run up n lead of 14 te !1 Meriarity waR
vanked nnd "Inkle" Itegnn rushed te
the rescue. The half time score was
also 14 te 8,
With Regan in the second half
Median was held down somewhat, but
the snap of the Jewels was net there
and the visitors hnd things their own
wny. The only man en the uptown
team thnt showed ny rcnl ability was
"Dec" Newman,
The ten field goals of the visitors
went te Dunn, two i Median, two;
Teme, two nnd Barlew, four. Heddy
Kearns was blanked by Marty Fried
man nnd this pair also nearly came te
settling their differences right In the
cage.
Shere' Flte Triumphs
The Atlantic City team moved Inte
the select first division by hnndlng the
Itending Hears n nent trimming nt the
shore Inht night bv the scorn of 49 te
"15. The former Celts gnve n great ex
hibition of sheeting nnd Johnny Beck
innii het up n season's field goal record
with nine.
The star of the shore quintet wns
dropping them in from all nngles, and
Chris Leetinrd, who was nt center,
nNe had a big night with five two
pointers. '
The totals nt half-time were 20 te
7, but in the heceml hnlf the home
team cased up, and n laxity in defense
iilleni'd the visitors te score a number
of field goals which, under ordinary
circumstances, would hnve easily been
f-tepped. The baskets went te Beck
