I SPORTS I HEAVY HITTISG ID I ERRORS 1 GAME 1 I SALT LAKE ISaJt Lake. Aug. 22. A dismally small crew turned out to welcome the team home yesterday. Jimmy Mien started for the Sk scrapers, and got along all right un til the sixth, when he blew up Couch traced the line for Ogden and was busy dodging drives until Oimlln lift ed him in the sixth. Barnham fol lowed Red Tonor went in and saved the affair for the Skyscrapers. The Skyscrapers scored two runs in the first on three singles and a sto len base. They took another in the second on a fielders choice and Ga lena double Ogden registered its first ace in the fourth on a brace of singles and Hester's wild throw. A single, a fielder s choice, a dou ble, another fielder's choice and a sacrifice fly accounted for the throe Salt Lake runs in the fourth. Ogden chalked up another in the fith, while the Hesterites took two. Thon when Allen appeared to be go ing along fairly well he went ky ward so far as control was concerned. Three walks and two singles had 6Cor ed two runs and left the hassocks loaded to the guards when Hester discovered that it might be a good I thing to change pitchers, so he chased Lefty and requisitioned Toner. Red proceeded to force in another run by walking Cobb The entire Skyscraper crew beefed over the last ball, declaring it a strike, but it was outside. Then Swede Rtsberg stew ed up everything b driving a hot one past Galena for a triple, clearing the bases Blausser fanned for the third out, but the damage had been done and the score wa6 tied However, the Canners never had a chance with Red, for in the sev enth, eighth and ninth they went down one, two, three, without getting Hose to a hit. Xot so the Skyscra pers They won the game in the sixth on a single, a walk, a single, another walk and a double, with a couple of H stolen bases thrown in whleh. added up, equaled three runs. They took three more in the eighth for good measure. Four singles and a dou ble did tbe trick. Fitzgerald probably will work for Salt Lake today while Shader will go B on the mound for the Canners.

NEGRO BOXERS ON DOWN GRADE Rapidly Aging, Jack Johnson, Only Black, Retaining Skill in Giving Punishment. As the Doling sitU&tidD stands to day the negro section Is fast going down grade Every meeting empha sises the fact more and more. With their bullot heads the blacks still ex cel white competitors in taking pun ishment. But superlative skill in giving, apart from receiving, is now seen only in the rapidly aging Jack Johnson W hen the search for a "white hope" hcm. then- cr. several negroes. Fa k rohnson, Sam Langford and Joe Jeannette, who clearly outclassed all the white heavyweights But Since the day A I Palzer was considered the best white heavy, the whites tune improved much and the blacks have dropped in btandard great Langford Not Dangerous. Langford for years held to be as dangerous ss Johnson is no longer the most effective hitter Both Jess Willard and Gunboat Smith are able to put more snap into their blows Langford has also lost his once great nkill as a boxer. He no longer uses his straight left and his right upper cut that shot through the mnallest opening is no more in evidence. IBs defense Is practically nil In his recent bout with Jim Johnson, Lang ford's work from the standpoint of science was decidedly mediocre. John son, who knowB none of the trick of the trade signalled every blow be fore he delixered it, yet Sam blocked them all with his chin A boxer of even average skill can protect him self from roundhouse swings, but Johnson was able to land them in whole volleys. Jeannette ;-till retains something of 1 his old-time shiftiness, but Its hitting is weak und ineffective. He has not stopped a first (lass man in seeral years, His only assets are his gen eralship and ability to take a punch without crumpling under It Jack Johnson in his last two bouts with Tim Johnson and Frank Moran. proved that he has lost his punch He could dn nothing with Battling Jim, and found rt necessary to cover up his poor showing by saving that he had broken his arm. Against Mo ran he made a good showing from a ! scientific standpoint, but there are at least three white men who could stop the clumsy Pittsburger in quick time Jim Johnson's recent bcuts with the other members of the troops affords a good line on how Che situation is I changing A few weeks ago Porks Flynn handed Johnson a sounder i thrashing than any of the black ri vals has been able to give him. Flynn handed out more punishment than Jeannette and outbozed him further thi'ii Langford And Flynn Is not ranked as a topnoLcber even amoug the whites. However as long as Jack Johnson remains his defensive skill and Jean nette and Langford their ability to shod punishment the will still re tain the balance of power. But at the rate they are all traveling 0:1 the down grade they cannot last muc 0 longer Even now Willard might beat i Johnson; Carpcntier, Jeannette and Smith Langord A tournament of this character would be no one-sided I affair by any means. FIFTY DOLLARS FOR ONE INNING Chicago. Aug. 22. Fifty dollars per inning for pitching in exhibition con tests that's Walter Johnson's price and it must be near a rec ord. He got this much for displaying his speed talents against three bat ters at Decatur. 111. Walter was en tour with his team when they visited Decatur. Number ed among the customers drawn to the park was a rooter who drove thirty miles with the hope of seeing John son in action. After waiting and hup ing for five innings the fan lurched down to the Washington bench. He accosted Germany Schaefer, acting boss of the Senators. "I want to see Walter Johnson pitch." said the rooter. "Sorry," returned German "John son pitched yesterday " "Do you reckon he'll pitch one in ning for $50?" queried the persistent person. "I'll see." replied the acting boss Johnson was interviewed; he agreed to work, and did. SOLAR SPOTS OF VENUS VISIBLE Stockholm, Aug. 22, via London. Aug. 22. 5:30 a. m The observations of the solar eclipse were favored with a clear sky and it was observed by English. Dutch and German and Swed ish expeditions at five places in the north of Sweden, where the eclipse was total. A great crowd witnessed the phenomena in Stockholm where the solar Bpots of Venus were visible to the naked eye. EMPEROR'S BUST SAVES SOLDIER Marseilles, France, Aug. 22 Amoug the French wounded, who have ar rived here, is a soldier who has been fighting in Lorraine. He owes his life to a small bust of Emperor Will iam which he picked up in a. village school and placed in Ids haversack. A German bullet struck the bust and damaged the head Thus deflected, the missile inflicted only a nonfatal wound. 00- Battles in human blood between white corpusclee and disease germs have been photographed with the mo tion picture camera by two French scientists.
