All the seats were filled.

This goes for the grandstand, the Pavilion 'and the jury boa. At the back of the stand the fans stood. ave and six deep. They trichled down and on the steps. They stood at the top of the upper tier.

They lled the 4feld boxes. those new contraptions found necessary this season for the firep time. Findkg 'the attendance running away with the Secretary Eynon ran the extras out on benches in front of the Geld sozes and. in front of the stand, even blilnd the plate. And still the fane 'chme.

This made the front rowl' in the pavilions stand and, brought a roar from the bugs og "Down in froat." Jordan's sainions roamed the pob.dispensing soft stuff and peanuts and popborn.

Really, the Yankees have made a rather poor impression with Capital fans. On Sunday Jim Shaw simply paralysed them.

instance, on May 6 he opposed Bob Shawkey, Rip Collins and George Mogridge at Georgi' avenue, upsetting them, 4 to 1. Rock 'Em Ruth same up four times and got one measly single to center field. Schacht got a hit and a walk and reached first a third time on an error by Batteripg Babe Ruth, who was In right field that day. That day in May the Yankees managed to collect six hits off Schacht and score once. On July 5 they got seven blows and three runs, which wasn't near enough, for the Griffs collected eleven blowd and nine runs, taking advantage of mound weaknesses of Herb Thormahlen and Bob McGraw.

Al Schacht made himself solid with the big crowd yesterday by his alloround good work. We once said he was omnigerent, but he thought this was an- insult' and so we'll merely he piched fine ball all the way. pled a double to right field, got in a sacrifice, took a Walk and struck out. We hate to insult any player, even such a hard-working cuss as Al Schacht, so we'll let it go with what is here written. He was the goods.

He'll understand that Schacht started under a severe handicap. Only a mosnent before E. Lawtence Phillips had announced In clarion tones that "Mr. Johnson had suftered an injury which would keep him out of the game." As thousands were present to flee Washington'5 no-hit, no-run pitcher, this announcement didn't go down any too well, and Schacht was booed a bit in the beginning. In the first five innings made just two hitj, and it was not till 'the sixth that they got another rpn on'titree hits.

to a sack, which would bring the total tp to 31,500. COUNTS ONUS. You don't make ellowancs for the dried up Demon Thoapson. So-we made another calulation. -We allowed thirteen peanut.

But George admits he's a statistican and, so far be, it from us to dispute his figures. We'll admit tpat at least 51,239 peanuts disappeared down the throats of baseball bugs it Georgia avenue yesterday. LOOKING 'EM OVER.

The pest box was a place of horror in the morning because of the sun and in the afternoon because of foul balls. If Ed Garrity ever shoots another one up past our left ear, we'll never mention his name again in these columns. And that's that. Aaron Ward. playing niftily at shortstop, had 'his left thigh torn open by the leaping base runner, Ed Gharritp, in the morning game.

He is expected to be. out of the gare for three weeks or more. Ward imagined he could. block Gharrity off second base, something which cannot be done, that's all. Babe Ruth took a tumble rounding second during the morning contest and gave way to Chick Fewster in the fifth, but he was back in the line-up in the afternoon with his arm bandaged.

I Pete Chaconas, the Eighteenth street bug, was there for the afternoon game. He entertained all comers in the evening with tales of the victory. Bevo Brown was not there.and he was not announced. Everybody was happy. I Chick Fowster played short in the afternoon and did wonderfully well.

He -should force Pratt out of the line-up as soon as Peck and Ward are back. Sant Rice ran his total up to twenty games for hitting consecutively. In the afternoon he grabbed three wallops. Prexy Griffith hired a but it quit in the. seventh inning in order to et home or something.

and White Sox gained a couple of games during' the day on the Indians anid Yankees, and with apiy sort of luck, the Griffi should be up there fighting for first place before masy weeks have passed. YANESARE CR'PPEDAT CRISIS OF SEASON Just when the crisis of the American, League season is at hand, Miller Huggins finds himself haunted by the same ghosts that worried Bill Donovan so much. He has a load of cr13pies when he should have all his playctrs in shape for their best work. Yesterday Aaron Ward was severely spiked by Ed Gharrity and may be out as long as three weeks. Gharrity tore open Ward's thigh while sliding into second base.

Roger, Peckinpaugh, the brilliant shortstop and captain of the Yankees, is troubled with a charleyhorse. IDuffy Lewis has sei injured leg that has kept him out of the line-up for a couple of weeks and may continue to do se'for another. George -Mogridge has a sprained angle. Bob Shawkey is slowly recovering from a strained tendon in his back. Bob Meusel has a stone bruise on his right hand that interferes with his hitting, though he is in the lineup andl doing the best he can.

Babe Ruth yesterday stumbled while rounding second and jarred himself considerably, In addition he injured an arm. However, he is still Outideofthis, the Yanks are in shape. BOLLING FIELD WINS. Boiling Field defeated Fort Myer by a seora. of to 5 yesterday.

NAVY'S-GRID SHOWS By HUGH ANNAPOLIS, Jul the Naval Academy foo team a schedule which- will afford a brais elevemn in the couit'y. Its Point, Georgetown and Lafayette, less probable real test will be. afforded. The Academy is still ready to ecliedule a gamfe for November 20, just one week before its final contest with the Army eleven. A team of modelrage, strength is desired, strong enough to keep the Navy team moving, but not one for which special preparation must be made and which would risk injuries to some of the regulars.

The schedule was practically made up before Bob Folwell took Gil Doble's place as coach, and would have been even stronger had the change been made earlier. As it is, Folwell wants a game for the final Saturday on the home field. The first game will be against North Carolina State, an eleven with which the Midshipmen have not had much trouble during the last few seasons, but which should start the schedule in- good shape. THEN CONES LAFATETIE. Lafayette.

which used to be one of tbe regular and valued opponents of the Navy, will play at Annapolis on October 9, and the Navy team will have to be in good form to win out. judging by the work of Lafayette in recent years. Bucknell. one of the regular opponents of the Navy, follows, on October 16. Bucknell has been defeated regularly in recent years, but has always given a good game.

On October taking advantage of the liberality of the authorities, the Academy team plays at Princeton. Naturally great interest will be taken in the contest, the midshipmen so seldom having the privilege of contesting away from Annapolis. The authorities have agreed that the team may play one ga.ne away from home each year. in addition to the Army game. It is proposed to play Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania each year, alternating at Annapolis and the home grounds of their opponents.

Princeton will play at Annapolis in 1991, and it is hoped that Pennsylvaaia will entertain the Midshipmen at Philadelphia. Not. only will this insure the Midahipmen two big games each season. but gives them experience in a big game away from home which will be rmost velualble as a preparation for the Anniy gange. HILLTOPPSRS ON LIST.

WVestern Reserve returns to the Midshipmen's schedule, after an absence of some years. playing on October 30, to be followed by Georgetowrs on November 6., No game to be played in the Sout. duriug 1920 is likely 'to'excite more interest and attract a gr'eater' erowd than the game between. Georgetown and the Naval Acsdemy. Not only did Georgetown give the Navy team its only defeat.

in football last year. but it was the only baseball nine to win from the strongest diamond aggregation the Midshipmen ever had, during the season just closed. Naturally, the. Navy contingent is looking- to' the Gedrgetown game with only less ardor than that against West Point, and a tremendouis battle is be expected. The.Midshipmen 3iay the eleven of the University of South Carolina, a newcotner on' their schedule, on Nove bher Ofuspecial interest in tion with this game is' the fact that'So1 Metsger, an old Pennsylvania rman.

and associate of Foiwell, the Naval Academy coach. will be the coach of the visitors, having accepted an offer to take charge there at'the beginning of coaping season. This is lst local game arranged, thdugh it is likely that an opponent will be secured for the 20th. Definite arrangements have been made for the playing of the annual game against the West Point cadets on the New York Polo Grounds on November 27th. With a rather easy victory last time and most of the old men available for another year, and with a year-of unprecedented succesb in every branch of sport behind them.

the navy, at this time, is a favorite. The army contingent is, of course, preparing for a demperate effort to re tri eve it self, and reports here are to theeffect that it will take altantage of the temporary raising of the entrance age and adshission 6f former servIce then, to recruit some notable college stars.

JIByfI.Benny Leonard made good on his prediction that he would knock out Charlie White in their battle for the lightweight championship of the world in the Floyd Fitzsimmons arena yesterday.

The titleholder accomplished his purpose in the ninth round, the finish coming suddenly and unexpecttedly. White was stopped completely and did not recover for some two minutes after referee Ed Smith counted him out. A Short right'to the chin, a punch which Leonard had been tryig to sneak over all through the scrap, started White on his way to defeat. Leonard. who never lets them get away from him once he has them in a bad way, put that right home on the button or chin point.

He took one glance at the dazed White, saw he was badly hurt. and then went after him like a master finisher. A fulisade of rights, left to the chin and stomach-pit followed that first hard right. Charlie wilted under the terrific bombardment and crumpled to the mat. Groggy and befuddled he started to his feet.

He clambered up before the referee could get well into -his count, only to meet the same blinding and relentless attack. Twice more he sank into the resin. and twice more he tottered gamely up on his wobbly legs. The fourth time a few crashes to the right spot put him away for keeps. He did not seem to bear the refedee as the official counted over him and the rubber pad used to protest his teeth fell from his mouth as he tried vainly to get into a sitting position.

When it was seen that the fight was over the fans stormed the ring and hampered White's seconds in pulling him to his feet. Once they got him erect somebody let go and Charlie fell back on the floor. He was out, unquestionably and decisively defeated by a greatly superior fighter. But he was game to the last inch. fopght a swell battle and was a trifle in the lead when he ran his Jaw into th Oath of that terrible first right.

White was knocked down the first time just twenty-two seconds after the round started and was counted out just as the referee's watch showed that fifty-live seconds of the round had been used up. It was the fiarst time White was ever flattened for the full count, and it took Leonard to turn the trick. White was in splendid condition, thanks to Ben Smith and Joe Thomas, and probably would have whipped any other lightweight in the world today. The New York boy had too many guns for veen a stout-hearted, wIcked puncher like White. 8I ids Kayo YMISSMSON FOR A WHOL WEEK Washington's Pitohing Ace Has Strained Tendon and Must Take Long Rest.

The club physician says that rest should put the pitching ace in shape, but that it is absolutely necessary that he have rest. "Walter first noticed this strain in the game he pitched against Philadelphia a week ago Sunday." explained President Griffith today, "but he said little about it, and the rest he had after that game seemed to put him in shape again. "He didn't notice any trouble durIng his great no-hit, no-run game at Boston las; week. and left the club for Washington. I didn't see him intil Sunday, when he came to the park, for we got in from Boston that morning.

SAY MUCH. "He didn't have much to say about himself, except that he didn't feel any too good. But Walter never complains much, and says little about himself. I sent him to the club physician who immediately ordered hia to bed. "It was then too late for me to take care of my advertising.

But I'm cured. Never again will I advertise Walter or any other pitcher for a certain game ahead of time. It's bad business, and I've found it out. I want the fans of Washington and surrounding country to know that I fully expected Walter to pitch yesterday when I announced that he would. His injury was as a surprise to me as it was a disappointment to them.

"No, I can't say when he will be in shape work. I hope he won't be out long, for he is now going at his best and he means much to the team in its fight for a high rank. I hope he'll be back by Sunday. anyway. PRAISES AL SCHACHT.

"Even if they were disappointed In not seeing Walter, that big- crowd certainly saw a finely-pitched ball game. Schacht had those Yanks eating out'of his hand. Going in thern as a substitute for Johnson, Schacht displayed wonderful coolness and all the nerve in the world in all he did. I'm proud of him. "As for the Yanks, I always knew we'd take them into camp, once we got them on a regular ball park and away from that band box in New York.

They had all the luck in the world when they walloped us a few weeks ago, long flies that Milan Rice and Roth would gobble up here, going for homie runs up there. "My team is playing good ball now, and, with any kind of pitching, should continue to travel at high speed. I am looking for a capable pitcher, but find it hard work landing any for immediate delivery. I can get some to report in September or next spring, but thus far I haven't found one who can come to me right now. "Nevertheless, with Walter back in shappe, I can manage to go along with thise I have and make it mighty interesting for all opponents." The Yankees close their series here today.

Tomorrow the Grif fs have a vacation before meeting the Clevelgand Indiana in a double-header on TIhursday..
