JOHNSTON TO PLAY
FOR JO, TITLE
California YoungsterDefeats Yale
Star in Tennis Semi
Finals William M. Johnston, the California
schoolboy, yesterday won hia way into
the final round of the New York State
championship in singles on the Cres
cent Athletic Club courts by defeating
A-lrick H. Man, Jr., of Yale in a hard
three-set match by the score of 6-4,
7 6, 9 7. Johnston will play S. How
ard Voshell for the Crascent bowl to
morrow, as . Maurice .E. McLoughlin,
the holder, -Is in Europe, and will not
.defend his title. . "
Johnston gave a splendid exhibition
of tennis and showed remarkable speed
at times. His service, which was very
speedy and accurate, resembled Mc
Loughlin's, and bewildered the Yale
champion. - The first, set was well con
tested up to the ninth game, when the
Pacific Coast expert won his service
and that of his opponent and captured
the set. ! The second set produced the
highest quality " of tennts, and Man
snowed improvement in hia game. The
set was called S-all before Johnston
carried the next two games.
The third set found Johnston at his
best, when he overcame a 5 3 lead.
His -smashing was brilliant and effec
tive, while Man made a number of
clever crossing shots. The set was
long drawn out, and finally won by
Wohnston by a 9 7 score.

Sacramento Of Coast League Wires
Bid For Bobby Stow
(By Wagner.) "
The latest club to bid for the ser
vices of Bobby Stow js Sacramento -of
the Pacific Coast league. , Manager
Harry Wolverton of Sacramento, who
managed the New Tork Americans
last year, wired Owner Freeman of:
the Bridgeport club a good -offer for
the stocky shortstop. The local own
er refused to name the figures. He
declared he would not accept, how
ever. Outfielder Izzy Hoffman of
Hartford gave Wolverton the tip on
Stow. Hoffman played in the Coast
league last season and was with the
Oakland team several years ago when
Wolverton i managed that club. Izzy
thinks Stow is a coming player.
An attempt will be made to bring
the St. Louis American league club
here next Sunday. The local manage.
ment has been unable to get any of
the league teams here. New Haven
is" having such a1 slump that Owner
Cameron wants to give his players a
rest and . New London is having the
same trouble. Gene McCann doesn't
want to invade his old haunts UBtil he
gets his bunch going right. .
There were 4,290 paid admissions
at the . Hartford-New - Haven double
header in Hartford yesterday. It pays
to have a winner. .
As a result of yesterday's double vic
tory, Hartford is only a game , and
one-half behind the champions. The
teams meet in Hartford again today
and there is a chance to make it even
closer. . '
The Hartford Courant this morning
praises ' President O'Rourke for fcis
forethought in assigning two umpires
for the double bill in that city yester
day. Lanigan and MoPartlin went
through without a kick. ; '
Dave White, a- brother of Steye
White of New Haven, has reported to
the Lynn, Mass., club. He weighs 200
and stands 6 feet 2 inches. Early in
the season the Giants looked him over.
A nrotest against the use of slang
in accounts of baseball games has
tr hnadnri bv a Chicago newspaper.
whinh will let its readers decide by a
vote on the future style of these writ
ings. In their plea for tne use oi cor
rect English, some followers of the
game assert they" are unable to follow
the plays because of the slangy char
acter of the stones, rresiaent J oiin
srfh, of the American League, said, to

Brooklyn club and ' wllS- report to. Man
ager Dahlen at Ebbets Field when the

President Ebbets, accompanied by
Scout Larry Sutton, is on an expedi

Le Jeune, who got a tryout with the

is playing great ball for Grand.. Rap

ising players with the Fort Wayne
club of the same league.
Big Ed Reulbach, who became ' the
property of the Superbas through a

The Boston Red Sox have purchased

This is the same club from which the
Giants secured Outfielder Burns.
The Crosemen were satisfied to get

undergraduate at the University of
California, where he has taken a prom

leave in September to enter the junior

Western 'athletic critics ar eof , the
opinion that the California man 'should
prove himself a star in eastern inter
collegiate circles. Possessed of great
speed and' able to run 100 yards in

to watch' his feet. He could walk
up to within ten feet of the plate and
toss up a dew drop, and the chances
are that the batsman would either
miss it or pop up an easy one.
"I've been in the game a good while
and I've faced a lot of twirlers, but I
never saw any that had any reason
to fear me when I was in a slump.
