The ruling was given in a court ac tion which reversed a Superior Court decision enjoining Pitcher George M. Johnson, the Winnebago Indian, from playing with the Kansas City Federals. The injunction issued by Judge Foell in the Superior Court and served on Johnson while he was participat ing in the game here, was granted at the request of the Cincinnati Nation als, whose ranks Johnson left to join iXhe Federals. Johnson, before he signed with his hiew associates, gave the Cincinnati club the same notice of his leaving that his contract with it required the club to give. Ten days after he had given the notice he joined the Fed erals.

UNHEARD OF GOLFER WINS ME TITLE His Achievement Without f arallel in History of Game in Pennsylvania Pittsburgh, Pa., July 17. From obscurity W. H. Croft, of the Oak mont Country Club, sprang into prom inence by winning the highest golf honors of the State, when he defeated James B. Crookston, of the Stanton Heights Golf Club, in the final round of the Pennsylvania amateur cham pionship tournament played at the Oakmont Country Club course. His achievement is remarkable and is without a parallel in the history of the game in this State. Croft practically was unheard of as far as winning any tournament was concerned until to-day. His victory over Crookston in the final round for the championship was decisive, 5 and three. Even when Croft put William G. Fownes, Jr., of Oakmont, the 1913 title holder, out of the running for the championship by defeating him in the semi-final round. 1 up, after a thrilling' 19-hole match, few of the gallery con ceded that he had a chance to win the championship over Crookston. Crowd of Women Fusses "Matty" at Golf Match Chicago, July 17.—Christy Mathew son, star pitcher of the New York Giants, lost an 18-hole golf match yes terday at the South Shore Country Club because, he said, he was em barrassed by the gallery of women who followed the play. "It was worse than a world's series game," said Mathewson. "I never was so embarrassed in my life. 1 couldn't do myself justice at all." Mathewson played the match with Grantland Rico, a sporting writer. On the first nine holes Mathewson had Rice three down, but the news had spread that the great pitcher was playing and a crowd of women who had been engaged in a tournament abandoned their game to follow the match. From the moment the gallery joined them, Mathewson became er ratic. He finished with a medal score of S9. "If any one wants to know what is a nerve shattering ordeal," said Mathewson after the game, "let him try to hole a ten-foot putt with a crowd of women looking on." PLAYERS CAVE IN DURING TENNIS MATCH AT SEABRIGHT Seabright, N. J., July 17. R. Lind ley Murray and George Peabody Gardner collapsed in the third set of their matches yesterday on the courts of the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club. Murray, the coast star, was making a desperate battle against R. Norris Williams, 2d, •of Philadelphia. The two had split sets and were rallying for all they were worth. Williams •had overhauled Murray in the third set and had brought the games to 5-all. Then Murray wavered and virtually fainted. He had to be carried to the clushouse and be attended by a doc tor. The score as chaiked up for Williams was 6-4, 4-6, 5-all, default ed. It was believed that after Mur ray had rested he would be none the worse for the prostration. FOX WINS GIME BEFORE RUN FALLS: I Was Mound Master in Yesterday's Game With the Red Roses; Sensational Fielding Jupiter Pluvius, who is now work ing hand in hand with St. Swlthin's on a forty day partnership, favored John Fox yesterday, holding up yes-1 terday's downpour just long enough to I allow Harrisburg to win a game. Lan caster lost, score 2 to 1. Within ten minutes after the first game was fin ished the island field was flooded, making a second game impossible. 1 It was an exciting pitcher's battle, j Fox did the trick on ninety-two pitch ed balls in nine innings. Lane "hand ed up ninety-seven iu eight innings. George Cockill's mound general never pitched more than thirteen any one inning until the ninth, when the total number of balls offered up was twenty-three. His record for the other innings was: First, ten; second and third, twelve each; fourth, five; fifth, thirteen; sixth, four; seventh, seven; eighth, j six. In but four innings did Lancas- j ter solve the Fox delivery. Back»of| Fox were two sensational outfielders, | Emerson and Cruikshank. The latter| pulled off two desperate running! catches; while Emerson jumped into| the air with one hand, pulled down a drive by Hooper which was labeled for four bases. Had Good Racking Lane had good backing in Ritter, | Doty and Hooper. In the third in-J ning Swayne opened with a single to left, store second and scored on Hoop er's single to left. Harrisburg tied up the score in the | fifth on McCarthy's single to left. Em- j erson's single to center which put him on third, and an out from third to, first, a long throw when Keyes hit a sizzler to Doty. In the eighth Lane i walked Keyes. Cruikshank sacrificed placing the ball directly in front of the plate; Cockill singled to center, scoring Keyes with th(? winning run. The score: LANCASTER R. H. O. A- E. !

SMITH'S FOUL CIUSE OF ID FEELINGS Gunboat's Blow When Carpentier Fell Provokes Prejudice Against American Boxers London, July 17.—The foul struck hy "Gunboat" Smith has stirred up uulte a bit of bad feeling here where there has been an undercurrent of prejudice against American boxers. The unfortunate blow of Smith's will probably be cited for some, time in support of this dislike of the American Invaders. Even had Smith not made the blow when Carpentier had fallen to his knees the popular verdict gives the French pugilist, who, by the wav, is the only ring fighter that France has ever produced, the decision over Smith. His quickness and remarkable accu racy were phenomenal and his foot work was far superior to Smith's. When the French contingent carried Carpentier to his corner in the sixth round the utmost confusion reigned. The ring was crowded with excited officials and seconds, and thousands of spectators were on their feet, shouting and groaning. In this round Car pentier, after playing for an opening, while keenly watching the American's right, had feinted cleverly with his left, and then brought a powerful right across Smith's jaw. The punch did not land squarely, but glanced off, and, carried by the force of his blow, Carpentier swung around «nd slipped to his knees. theihub MID-SUMMER t Clearance Sale This Sale Is a Windfall It comes in right for those who need something right away.
