UMPIRE WESTEEVELT OUSTED; PEEGUSON EEPLACES HIM President Ban Johnson Will Not Oppose Playing of Benefit Game ior Perrine Br "WltXIAM PKET. Chicago. Sept, 21 Manager Griffith, of the Nationals, called on President Ban Johnson, of the American League, this morning and was closeted 'with thej chieftain for half an hour.

When Gnff emerged from the office of the high executive he' was all smiles and in formed the newipapeu men who, are traveling with the Nationals that sus pensions meted out to Schaefer and himself had been lifted and that both vo'uld be in the game or rather on the bench tomorrow. Trainer Mike Mar tin's suspension has also been raised and Mike was not called upon to pay his fine, either. Griff added his charges those of other managers against Umpire Wes- tervelt, claiming incompetency and other things, and was quietly tipped off that Westervelt had been let out Ferguson, an arbiter recommended by Griff himself, has jus been appointed to succeed Westenelt, and Ban Johnson had a good laugh at the expense of the Old Fox, declaring, "You can't find "any fault with Ferguson, because it was through your efforts that I haeT Hired him." GrIS Bays tbat Ferguson Is one of the best Indicator handlers be has ever seen. The new man comes from the American Association. Catcher Al Williams by his great work with the stick during the Illness of Eddie Alnmith and the Injury to Henry has worked himself into the .300 class and Rill undoubtedly finish the season among the elect.

"I Jelt confident that If Griff gave me a show," Al, "that I could deliver the goods." Al has delivered, all righU and will likely work. behind the bat during the majority of games which remain to be pla)ed this season. President Ban Johnson to-day announced that he would Interpose no objection to the benefit game planned for the day previous to the opening of the world's series between the American and National Xeague "umpires at the ball park where the first contest Is scheduled.

ALBRIGHT EASY FOR THE INDIANS Losers Score Second Touchdown Ever Made Against Eedskins at Carlisle. Carlisle. Sept. a. The Carlisle dlan football players opened the year's football season here this afternoon by defeating the strong Albright College eleven.

SO to 7, the visitors' score lndud' lng the second touchdown eer made by Indian opponents on the local field. The period score stood, 02 to 0, is to 7, 38 to 7, and SO to 7. The new rules did not seem'to make a great difference in the game, except that they made it eafier to gain ground con-sccutiely and made the elevens incline toward conservative play instead of using tricks and running big risks. The defease as used by both of the teams to day was practically the same as that of last year, as was the rorwara passing, the extra, length allowed not seeming to make much difference. The cutting out of the so-called open play, while evident, does not seem to be loss.

Four or five of Albright's men are stars of magnitude. The Indians to-day mixed up their regulars with new material, at no time having more than six varsity men working. Carlisle's work in Coach Warners opinion, was ragged and at times careless. Cs.pt. Thorpe was out today with a sprained shoulder.

By "WILLIAJ: PKET. Chicago, Sept 21. Fifty-seven -ra-rieties of rain hit Chicago early this morning, and when the time came for the Nationals and White Sox to hook up for the second game, of the -series. it was still raining, so the combat had to be called off and there will be z' double-header to-morrow, first game fJi 1. suiung piuiupuy i uuiu, tnat the may get an early train lor Rochester, N.

1., where an exhibition contest is staged for Monday. Late to-night it continued to drizzle and tfaevlocal forecaster refuses to de- dare a fine day to-morrow. It it should happen to rain Sunday all sorts of complications will set in. First, the Nationals will be compelled to stay over until Monday and that wDJ mean the calling off of the exhibition game in Rochester, also the cancellation of the game booked for Toronto Tuesday for the. reason that it would be impossible to make train connections from Chicago to the Canadian city.

Hopes "Wenther Is Fnlr. Griff Is, hoping against hope that the weather will be fair. He has talked With Owner Comiskey, of the White Sox; about calling oft the games for Monday should It be found necessary to! play on that day. but Comiskey refused I pointblank, saying: want the Chicago club to beat out the Detroit Tigers, for fourth place, and both Callahan and! rroself are bendlng every effort In that! direction. 'But it it rains Sunday.

must Insist upon a double-header herert Monday." As the St. Louis Browns trimmed the Athletics in the Mound City yesterday the Nationals gal-ied back the half game they lost while the Mackmen wero idle Friday and are still in second placet witn a percentage of JQi. against the Athletics uM. or ten points to the good. As soon aa It was learned that De troit beat the Boston Red Sox with JoeM TVood In the box yesterday and that Walter Johnson's record: of sixteen consecutive games had only been equaled and not beaten, every member of Griffs famUy crowded firound the big pitcher In the hotel lobby and shook- hands with him.

In spite of what the Boston baseball writers claim, vis, that Wood Is better pitcher than Walter Johnson, none of the Washington Dlavers aarea with them. Griffs boys declare that the Kansas Cyclone Is the best in the world, bdjmg none, and the majority of Capital fans are doubtless of this same optn- ion. Providing two games sre played tomorrow, Walter Johnson and Bob Groom will be the twirlers selected by Manager Griffith, and they will likely face one of Callahan's youngsters and big Ed Walsh, the last named, however, will not pitch against Johnson. Paul Musser. the young pitcher obtained In the draft last fall from the Canton club of the O.

and P. League and who has been carried by the Na-J tlonals this season, was notified this aft-1 ternoon that he had been sold to the. Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast League, and Musser leaves to-morrow night. The Coast season has two months yet to run, and as Los Angeles is fight-j Ing It out with Vernon and Oakland for top honors, the addition of a. pitcher like Musser may land the nag lor Los Angeles, which Is owned and managed by Frank Dillon, a distant cousin oC Griffith.

It seems CDHon was her-- during) the nrsr-vtslt of the Nationals and saw the game against the White Sox, when, Musser had Callahan's gang standing on their heads for seen innings, allowing! but. two hits. Musser was relieved D77J siter jonnson. as ne suaaeniy developed a. wild streak, and the Nationals won.

At that time Dllllon wanted to buy Musser. but Griff refused to with him. It Is. understood that Musser will be returned the Nationals for1 next year, as the Old Fox declares thee oungster has ail the makings of a big; I league star. Musser has the unique record of pitch ing In eight American League games, winning one and losing none.

The game against the Chicago White Sox here last June goea to his credit: the other1 seven ha relieved other pitchers after1 games were either won or lost. It is going to be necessary for the Whlto Sox to win the two remaining games of. the Washington series in order to get an even break On the season with thee visitors. The count now stands eleven and nine In favor of the Nationals. BUI Evans and Silk O'Loughlln are said to be the two American League umpires picked to work la the series.

If the White Sox don't quite Playm-f their games so slowly some one's going to Insult them by leaving a will requesting that they play a game at his funeral. FOOTBALL RESULTS. At Carllsls-CsrUale, Albrlxst. At Ambent-M. JU Shade Island Stale Cot- ltce.
