TONER TAPPED FOR TWO TALLIES Nick Nicked in Nick of Time When He Tries to Score from Third, and Locals Relax After Just One Real Real Old Rally. BY LYLE ABBOTT Vi-n two teams play like perfect gentlemen, anil only score two runs, it leaves little enough for the ener getic scribe to talk about. Howevei, the ptifcirmanrp of Kitty Knight o:i the slab for McCloskey in the open ing game of the El Paso-Phoenix series deserves some comment, so here Roes as they say. If Kitty Knight hadn't leen so parsimonious with his hits, when hits would have clone us some good, ho might not have won the distinction .f having blanked the Senators the Ffcond time it"s been done to then.. For. honest, theio were two cnanc-.'s to score, that were visible even to the near-sighted tans in the grand stand.

But it placed Nig oti Second, whence he escaped to third while the infield was looking for the luill that Duddy hit down to Bill Dowling.

Toner's after Bauer in the second, anil j had doubled scored that prominent centerf ielder with a single. And that isn't all. He got another single, the very next time he came to the plate, but it did no damage. Red Toner pitched a deserving game. Some idiotic fans in th ' southeastern portion of the grand stand took occasion to ride the earnest and sorrel-topped veteran. But it wasn't Toner's fault, and we can Ik k anvbodv who says it was. Red had stuff on the ball that would have made yesterday's game a lot He missed by the skin by one small molar. It was this-a-way. Nick selected a nice straight one and bent it over into right field. He likes to hit 'em left handedly so that his short piston-like legs can move powerfully over toward! third. But Nick only got one bag on this particular slam. John Nutt gladdened a number of loyal hearts with a hearty two base smash to the left field fence. It was our pri vate opinion designed to be expressed j in print that Nick might have scored, j especially as the ball plunked into j the fence and hounded back toward ,1110 centerfield, if he had been sprint ing up to his usual form. . As it was. (Hayes leaped - over and culled the l ball from the sand, heaved to Pendle- I ion. and the shortstop relayed per fectly to Jack Bliss, who ."put it on Nick in the nick of time. Dowling brought a mite of encouragemen when he walked. But the ordinarily dependable Byrd Lynn submitted to the cuspidorous curves of Knight. Weeping and Wailing There is just one thing more piti able than the sight of Smiley, when one ot his .favorite benders has been straigntened out in an aggressive two-base manner. And that is the sight of Red Toner, hustling his darnedest out there in the warm in timate sunshine, and not having enough bits made back of him to wad a shot-gun. Red lias been play ing in hard luck during the present stay in our mongst, and every time he has gone into the box, it has been with the knowledge that he must do Something for his country. He is making' a brave stab to get back into his o- condition, when ho used to pitch a multitude of two and three hit games.

With rain and cold weather prevailing over major league territory only 3S out of 50 games scheduled in the National and American leagues were played during the past week, insuring a big crop of doubleheaders as the season progresses. Both Chicago teams continued to lead their respective leagues, though for a time Philadelphia displaced the Chicago Nationals, while the Chicago Americans, after winning nine straight games were checged by Cleveland, which team yesterday took a close decision from the Sox. The St. Louis Nationals attracted some attention during the week, out playing the Giants excepting the last game in the series. The race as a whole in the National league is one of the closest in the history of the organization.

The National Makes Double Bills for the week, with Detroit continuing to press Chicago for the leadership. The New York Americans, who for a time were in first place, lately have shown a bad slump, having dropped six straight games. They remain in third place, however. The Boston Nationals have shown what many of their friends consider a. return to their old form, and with the return of Johnny Kvers to the ranks, it is expected the team will again show it fighting spirit. Although the National and American league schedules were badly broken up by bad weather, the big circuits of organized baseball suffered much less severely during the week than the Federals. Seldom in the history of a league have there be so many post ponements within such a short space of time. There were more postpone-' ments in fact than games played, the figures standing twelve played and fifteen postponed. Indianapolis maintained its place in, front of the American Association race.

Following the receipt of reports from deputies whom he lias had in the field investigating the whit..' wing situation. Game Warden Wit lard ;uinomieid yesterday that the state game department will enforce the federal law, which prohibits the shooting of the doves before July 15. Regarding his decision to cause the arrest of all who are found killing t'ne does, the rarac warden yester- day gave out the following state- ment : Monday, a week ago, I had a man out hunting doves' nests and he re ported Km nests found, as a result of about six hours' work after reach ing the nesting grounds, and op June 1. the day upon which it has been customary to open the season for the shcotin of these birds, I had the same man out again. lie reported having found 77 nests, con taining either eggs or young. This department has had many in quiries as to its intention regaruing the enforcement of the federal law. and in the face of the above facts nd conditions it can give but one answer: The federal law will no enforced. Better still, there seems to he but little inclination to slay these irds, once the people are supplied with the knowledge that they are now nesting in such large numbers. fine motorcycle deputy, who has covered a- great deal or the valley today reports that he did not see or hear a single gun fired during 1h entire day, and we hope and expect that he will be able to make like reports up to the 15th of July.
