GOTHAM WRITER! BOOSTS WORK OF JOHNSTON The New York Evening Journal baseball expert, Harry Glaser, who follows the Yankees, was highly impressed with the showing Doc Johnston, the former Pelican first baseman, made on his fi'st ap pearance with the Cleveland Naps in Gotham. Here is what he had to say about Charley Frank's for mer star: By Harry Glaser. IN Doe Johnston, who made his first appearance on the Hilltop yesterday in a Cleveland uni form. Harry Davis seems to have found the player he has ■'• arched for •h season. The first base position Caused the Cleveland leader no end of worry. He tried out innumer able- men, including Hohnhorst, Birmingham and Griggs, but none of the candidates took care of the corner in a satisfactory manner. At one time Davis was so hard pressed that he had to use Lajoie at the initial sack, taking him away from the keystone, where he has starred for years. Johnston succeeded Griggs about a week ago, being purchased from the New Orleans club, and has since , played so well that Manager Davis believes .he has at last found the right man for the job. He took a leading part in preventing the Yankees from winning yesterday. The former Pelican made three hits in five trips to the plate, being re sponsible for half the runs scored by the Naps. Os their eight tallies he drove in three and scored one himself. It was his triple that : brought home Lajoie with the ty ing count in the ninth. He also played & fine defensive game. In the fourth he stopped Paddock's hot smash that looked good for a : hit. and beat the ranchman in a sprint to the bag. There wore sev eral other fine plays made by him. Johnston played with the Peli cans for the past few years, and has been sought by a number of big league managers. Prank Chance tried to get him last season. Hughey Jennings had an option on him at the time, but failed to exer- 1 else it after Gainor came to the Tigers. The Cleveland club then made a bid for him and he joined the Naps a few weeks ago. The reeruit has plenty of speed, is a splendid fielder and a heavy I hitter. There is only one weakness | that he is said to have; that is. he i can’t hit well against southpax*, but Davis thinks he can help him ■X-orcomo i his failing. ONLY ONE BOAT FINISHES IN HARMSWORTH TRIALS HUNTINGTON, N. Y.. Aug. 30.—Al though five motorboats crossed the starting line at intervals in the third elimination race of the series for the | selection of defenders of the Harms worth cup. only one, the Restless 11, owned by T.

One other, the Peter Pan V. owned by James Simp, son. of New York, a new candidate for the. defense honors, covered the course three times, making the second best time so far made for the distance— -22 1-2 miles. Her time was 38 minutes 43 seconds, an average of 34.86 knots, or 40.08 statute miles an hour. The Baby Reliance II on Monday covered the same distance in one minute and 50 seconds better time. , The Restless II covered the full course in t hour. 6 minutes, this being an aver age speed of 27.55 knots, or 31.68 miles an hour.

S. TO RACE NKW YORK, Aug 30.—Kennedy Kane McArthur. winner of the Olympic mara thon at Stockholm, will, of course, come to America to show his prowess. He has not yet announced the date of his com ing. but who over heard of a policeman I turning down a chance to grab 10.000 “si- i moleons" with little or no work, especially when there is no chance for a sequel in the form of an investigation? McArthur has heard of the easy money that Dorando picked up here four years ago, and likewise he remembers that Dorando was not even a marathon win ner; that he collapsed before the finish. He has not overlooked with what ease Hackenschmidt, Mahmout, Zybszko and other foreign wrestlers raked in the coin while on American soil. Finally he still has in mind the fact that Bombardier Wells. Owen Moran. Matt Wells and English pugs have found this a mighty fine field for their operations. ABE ATTELL TO FIGHT IN NEW YORK RING AGAIN NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—Abe Aitell. former featherweight champion, has ad vised his New York manager that he is ready to leave the Pacific coast for this city.

AUGUST :in. 1912 BUTLER WILL TAKE GILBERT,GLENN AND ROBERTS TO ROME Tommy Butler, the popular motorcy cle exponent, is going to take a rat tling crew of drivers to Rome Friday night for the big Labor day races there. He has secund Hal Gilbert. Harrv Glenn and Ollie Roberts, the three best men in the South. All three will be mounted on Excelsiors. In a match race for "sixes" all three will ride, while Roberts will also run a "four" in an other event. Gilbert cleaned up at the race meet held in Rome a few weeks ago, and he is a big card there. H<> broke the track record by two seconds. He is confident that, now that he knows the course bet ter. lie will be able to clip some time off his own mark But he will find Glenn and Roberts right at his heels all the " a y. Butler is the one active member of the Atlanta Motorcycle club who is working “twenty-five hours a day" to get tlie Piedmont park track for races, and he lias the park board "winging" his way. He figures that if Rome is al lowed to hold races it is an insult to Atlanta if they can't at least have the same rights as their little up-state town.
