BIG VICTORY SCORED
FOR FEDERAL LEAGUE
Ten Days' Oause in Players' Con
tract Is Held to Be "Null
and Void"
Chicago, July 17.. —The Federal
League scored its first big legal vic
tory in its war on organized baseball
to-day when the appellate court held
the ten days' clause in the ball play
ers' contract "null and void."
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.

FRIDAY EVENING HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 17, 1914.
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.

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.
