Brownies Take First from Griffs?Red Cross Day at Park Friday?Racing
Gedeon's War Club Helps
Browns Defeat Nationals
Fiery Cast-off of Griffmen
Bats St. Louis to a
4-to-2 Victory.
Joe Gedeon, one of Clark Griffith *
caatoffs, got sweet revenge yesterday,
when his weeping willow echoed three
base blows recorded in the defeat of
the Nationals at the American League
Ball Park in the first game of the
series by a 4 to 2 count.
It was Gedeon's triple to right cen
ter In the third inning that gave the
Brownies their first two tallies, while
his double in the ninth added another.
He npt only used the willow to ob
tain revenge, but in the fielding end
he featured in a fast double play and
sensational assist in the seventh in
ning which halted a rally staged by
the Nationals.
Urban Shocker, who worked for the
Brownies, has probably pitched his
last game under the big tent, as the
former Yankee spit ball artist has
been ordered to report to Uncle Sam's
national army for the bigger game
over there. Urban did himself proud
in this final battle, as he set Griff's
slugging clan down with four hits,
one of these being of the scratchy
variety.
Opposed to Shocker was Harry Har
per. but the Hackensack truckman
was not at his best, as after five
Innings of toiling he was relieved by
Mollie Craft to make room for Earl
Yingling as a pinch hitter. Harry
was hit hard in the third and fourth,
when the brown-legged tribe obtained
three runs. Craft went well In the*
utility role until the final, when Aus
tin's double, a force-out and a dou
ble by Gedeon gave them their final
count.
Shotton obtained the first blow off
Shocker when he hit a hank one to
Gefbef in his initial appearance at
bat^ but there was no scoring, as
Shanks* efforts resulted in a double
Play.
The Nationals obtained their tallies
in the seventh when Shanks got life
on Sisler's amateur error. Judge
doubled to left center, placing Hank
at third, from where he scored on
Morgan's infield out. Judge came
over the dish on Foster's hit to cen
ter field. The Nationals' next hit
came with one down in the ninth,
when Morgan singled to center, but
Foster and Joe Casey were unable
to keep the rally in motion.
A base on balls to Tobins, Sisler's
single to left followed by Gedeon's
triple gave the Browns a lead of!
two runs in the third. They added
ene more In the fourth when Shanks !
allowed Smith's hit to bounce through j
his leg3. Nunamaker flew to right |
field and Smith, who pulled up at
third b^se, attempted to take ad- j
vantage of Shotton's wing, but was i
easily nipped three yards off the |
plate. Shocker was passed and went j
to third on Austin's single to center,
cored when Austin was being
re' cT.
1-i- Lavan outguessed the veter
rn. Jrnr.niy Austin, when the Brownies i
added their final in the ninth. Aus- j
tin had doubled and Sisler hit a i
sharp grounder to.I*avan. Instead of
pegging to first. Lavan threw to |
third. As the veteran Austin had i
tounded the bag. he proved easy
picking between Foster and Casey.

Ban B. Johnson Contributes
$500 to the Worthy
Cause.
The entire receipts for the first
I name of the series with the Detroit
elub oil Friday afternoon will he
| turned over to the American Red
| Cross by the Washington Baseball
Club. Members of the Commercial
I Club as a citizens committee start
a ticket selling campaign this morn
ing. with hopes in view of dispos
ing of 20,000 pasteboards to local
| baseball fans, who wiU take ad
I vantage of this opportunity to wit
ness a major league baseball game,
and at the same time aid the
worthy cause of the Red Cross.
Ban B. Johnson, president of tne
American League, who is a vfttor
in our midst, started the ball a
rolling fA baseballdom yesterday^,
by contributing $500 to the great
I workers. ?
I A gala day is planned for all
fandom. as Hughey Jenning. the fa
mous baseball producer, will pre
sent his famous troupers under the
head lines of Ty Cobb and Company.
To baseball fans Ty Cobl. is the
greatest individual attraction in
the national game, but it took the
workers of mercy to go the nrey
pilot of the Tigers one better, when
an invitation was extended to Presi
Ment Wilson to attend, and he is ex
pected to pay his first visit to the
park Friday, if the demands of of
ficial duties will permit.
Foxy Griff will have two bands
on hajid to enliven the occasion,
and Red Cross Day at the 1- lorida
Stadium should be one Ion? to be
remembered. The Camp Meivts Band
have already consented to be on
band, and efforts are now under
wav to obtain the entire United
States Marine Band stationed at
the Marine Barracks to render sel
Five hundred thousand dollars Is
Washington's quota in this present
drive of the guardians of our bo>s
over there, and it is hored that every
fan who can spare the time will take
advantage of Red Cross Day at tne
American League Ball Park.
As a side issue and attraction, but
one that can r.ot be promised Walter
Johnson may be on the fire hill for tne
Nationals. The smoke-ball king has
been under the weather since his 18
inning battle against the White Sox.
If Griff can get the proper pitching
from the balance of his staff during
the three remaining games with tne
Brownies It will he Walter Johnson
who work? on Red Cross Day.
Now Fandom. don't forget the day.
Friday, May 24.
Earl Yingling or Jimmy Shaw will
do the battery work for the Nationals
in this second game with >?clu*r
Jones* Brownies today. Opposed to
one of these local hurlers. will be Bert
Gallia, who was traded by the Old
Fox during the winter for Lavan and
Shotton. Gallia is a curve ball pitcher,
and as the Nationals are at present in
a hitting slump he should prove a.
puzzle.
A young college pitcher, Wright, re- |
ported to Fielder Jones yesterday and
is ready to take his turn in the box
as soon as he gets used to his sur

AVIATRICES TO
MEET IN RACE
Famous Bird-Women, Miss
Law and Miss Stinson, Set
tle Title Memorial Day.
By far the most sensational race
ever participated in by women will
be staged at the famous Shecpshead
Bay Race Track. Memorial Day,
May 30.
For the first time in the history
of aviation, two women aviators
will meet in a test of skill and
t-peed.
Miss Ruth Uw, perhaps the most
famous of all bird-women, and Miss
Katherine Stinson. one of the most
brilliant of aviatrices, will show off
their wares at Sheepshead. The
event is advertised for the cham
pionship of the universe and the
woman who wins will have little
competition unless some lady from
Mars should happen to drop in to
challenge her right to the title.
The two wonders of the air have1
never met in competition, although
both have been attracting world-j
wide attention by their exploits for
several years.
Both trirls have often excelled
male fliers in their phenomenal!
stunts above the clouds. Miss Law
holds the world record for a non
stop flight, having flown from Chi
cago to Erie, Pa., a distance of 590
miles without decending. She was
recently given a permit from the
War Department to fly anywhere in
the United States, and will soon
start a nation-wide tour for the Red
Cross and yther patriotic causes.
Miss Stinson was a sensation be
fore she was '20. She defeated
Dario Resta in an earth and air race
a few years ago, and since has
greatly improved her air mastery.
She is said to be the first woman
to undertake the aerial somersault,
and holds the world record for con
secutive loops. Her distance rec
ord is a run from Buffalo to Wash
ington, via New York.
ORDNANCE CLUB IS

CLEVER RUSE
DEFEATS PENN
At Least Such Is the Claim
Made by Philadelphia
Rowing Scribe.
The Philadelphia Inquirer of yes
terday printed the following:
"Penn was defeated hy the Navy
on the Severn River on Saturday, but
the prestige of the Red and Blue
eight and Joe Wright is not dimmed
| in the least by the Il^t set-back to
the best crew that Penn ever has
; boasted.
| " The Navy eight had both weight
| and height on the Red and Blue eight
and many critics think that if the
| race had been over the regular Hen
' ley course the result would have been
much different. It was pointed out
by many of the crew experts that
were on hand for the race that the
Red and Blue would triumph over any
! tight in the country over the Henley
course, but the two-mile race is a
'little long for the slight Quaker eight.
I Weight alone tells in a long race
land that is where the Quakers were
| wanting.
"Coach Glendon of the Navy at
the last moment decided to enter both
his varsity and junior crew in the
varsity race, and this no doubt spell
ed defeat for the Red and Blue oars
men. It worked just the same way
that famous track coaches have been- |
working the trick in past years. A
good man is entered in a race with
another good man from a rival col-;
lege. The coach, realizing that the
other lad is just as good as his own
^rotege. takes advantage of the fact
that he is home a:id can enter as
many men as possible, and enters one
or two extra men with instructions
to kill ofT the out-of-town runner by
setting an extra fast pace. Then as
the rival becomes weary of a fast
pace and quickly tires he is passed
by the man who has conserved his
energy.
"It was a favorite trick of Mike
Murphy, while Jack Mt?akle> is an
other famous coach who uses the
trick to advantage. It was this trick
that spelled the downfall of the Red
and Blue on Saturday."

NEW 'NTFRNAT'Otf AL {
SUES FOR $10,000
New York, May 20.?The Interna
tional League, through Charles T.
Chapin, chairman of the board of
directors, has instructed its attor
ney, Charles H. Knapp. of Balti
more, to bring suit against H. Clay
Smith of Danville, III., for a claim
of $10,000 alleged to be the balance
for the purchase of the Newark
franchise of the old International
League by Smith back in 1916.
Mr. Chapin, who was in the city
yesterday, admitted that the case
had been placed In the hands of
Mr. Knapp who was instructed to
proceed toward collection as quickl>
as possible. He fs acting in the
matter because of his vested pow
ers relative to the disbanded Class
AA circuit. When Ed Barrow re
signed last winter Mr. Chapin, as
chairman of the board of directors,
assumed the responsibilities of the
executive up to* the time of dis
bandment. The present case grew
out of negotiations to which Mr.
Chapin fell heir.

CLASSIC STAKE
FOR BELMONT
Good Entry List for the
Metropolitan Handicap
on Monday.
New York. May so.?New York con
tinued its welcoming back of the
thoroughbreds from their great sea
son in Maryland when -the greatest
crowd seen on the Jamaica course In
many years turned out to cheer
them and the sport furnished was of
a kind to draw further big crowd*
to the Metropolitan Jockey Clufe's
trafk. With three days of most sat
isfying racing over, there still re*
mains another full week before lb*
shift is made to Belmont Park.
Just one week from today comes lb*
running of the Metropolitan Handle*
and then the real New York **a?*>?
will be fairly open and on Its wav
through what promises to be en*
the greatest years for good horse*
and good races ever enjoyed In tb*
Empire State. Monday's BHmont
opening will be punctuated % by lb#
running pf this great turf classl*.
which wa? inaugurated at the old
j Morris Park track in ISM, and flr*?
j won by Tristan, who beat Tenny at?d
I Clarendon. At that time the dls
| tarfiee was at a mile and an eighth,
| birt in 1S97 when it was won by Voter,
? it had been red need to a mile dash,
j the date of running coming earlier
in the season then than now.
Richard T. Wilson's Ormsdale beat

top of the list, with 135 pounds to

been 130, the same as given Omar

up an extra Ave pounds for Satur
day's handicap victory. A glance
over the weights for the Metropoll- I
tan shows that some of the three- |

KANSAS CYCLONE TO
| MEET LOCAL MAT MAN
] Jack Price, the Kansas prappler who
; meets Joe Turner in a finish match
Thursday night is iq hard training at !
George Bothners gymnasium in New j
York and has wired Manager Mc- j
George that he is already down to the .
required weight, 158 pounds, and feels ;
confident that he will return to his
home with the middle-weight cham- j
-pionship title tucked under his belt, j
The Kansas grappler is undoubtly !
one of the classiest wrestlers that.
has ever appeared on the local mat. ;
and while Turner may be a little j
more experienced he will have a hard j
time overcoming his young opponent. |
Both men have signed articles and .
posted a forfiet for weight and they
are about evenly matched In science
and speed and It looks as though the |
man that has the greatest endurance !
will be declared the winner.
In order to start the match early as j
possible the show will be over at ten j
1 o'clock and the wrestlers should be j
on the mat not latter than ten fifteen, i
Accommodations are being made to j
accommodate the largest crowd of ?
the season.
UNABLE TO OBTAIN
MORE HORSEHIDE
There is some speculation here as j
to whether baseball must suffer as ,
a result of an order just put through j
by the hide and leather control
board that horsehide is to be used
no more for baseball coverings. The j
leather that has been used for this
purpose in the past is to be used ?
in the future for gloves for the sol- i
diers.
Virtually all leather which has
been used either in making the J
tvtgeballs or the gloves and protec
tors of players has been comman
deered by the government. The or
der of the board Is made applicable
to the owners and handlers of hides,
assembly and tannery agents and
the manufacturers.
Not less than 1.000.000.000 pairs of
gloves for the use of soldiers will
be turned out in the next twelve
months, according to plans under
consideration now. The board has
already let contracts for l.OOO.flOO pairs
of army shoes.
GAVE MAJORS MANY
Po.tland Club Has Produced Host
of Material for Big Leagues.
New York. May 20.?The Portland
<-lub of the. Pacific Coast League has
sent a number of corking good ball
players to the major leagues, and
Manager Walter McCredle. now with
Salt Lake, says that if it were not
for the war he would have a com-,
plete team of former Portland play- I
ers In the majors who could hold
their own with any team.
The war, he says, prevented
Catcher "Baldwin advancing to the
majors this year. His former Port
land team, minus the catcher, would
be made up about as follows:
Pitchers Stanley Coveleskie and Bob
Groom of Cleveland; Bill James of
Detroit, Mays of the Red Sox. Gregg
of the Athletics. Byron Houck of
the Browns. Infielders Pecktnpaugh
of the Yankees, Olsen and Ward of
Brooklyn, Bancroft of the Phillies j
and Hollocher of the Cubs; Out
fielders Graney of the Indians, Heil
man of the Tigers and Williams of .
the Browns. Ward and Williams, j
though, are now in the army. \
Yale Will Not Send Team.
New Haven. May 30.--Owing to the
dearth of material and the absence
of men in * the various events who
would be likely to make a showing
worth while, Yale will probably send
no team to the Intercollegiates at j
Philadelphia this year. No objections
had been raised by the Yale athletic'
authorities and the track management
were told to do as semed best.
Trainer John Mack said yesterday
that with only half a dozen entries
and none of them promising, Yale**
chances would hardly be worth the
trouble of preparing.
