JOHNSON CONFABS
WITH JAKE SIAHL
Hears Troubles of Washington Man
ager and Tells Him Pretty Things
to Cheer Him.

Jake Stahl had a long conversation
with Ban Johnson Ia St. Louis yester-
day, and as usual when Johnson talks,
there were mysterious hints of some
thing big about to happen, with very
little prospect OF anything of value TO
the Washington ball club eventuating.
Johnson is said to have encouraged the
young manager with soothing words.
but as he has been Il ing to Soothe the
Washington public for the last three
years without visible results, it is to
be hoped tlat Stahl has not fallen vic
Tim TO bis wiIes and become puffed up
about what may have been told him. :.
At that, Stahl and the American league
are not doing so badly. Washington
is in seventh place with a lead over
ST. Louis of one and an average of .95S.
This is 1fty-one points ahead of Brook
lyn. which occupies the corresponding
position in the National league, and only
ten points behind St Louis, which oc-
cupies the sixth round in the National
LEAGUE

One week ago the body of an un-
known man was found lying entirely
nude and half eaten by buzzards. on
the Birkhead estate near Laurel, Nd.
Although the police of Washington and
the. Maryland authorities have cooper
ated, and made energetic efforts to es-
tablish the identity of the dead man,
they are as much in the dark TODAY as
they were when the finding OF the body
was first reported.
Three relatives of as many missing
men, identified the body as that of hus-
band, son, or brother. but none of them
were positive enough to take charge OF
the remains. and have them prepared
for burial.
Today the body was exhumed from
the roughly dug hole. a few feet from
where 1t was found. II was taken from
the cheap water-ss0aked pine box il
which ii has lain since last Thursday
and embalmed By an undertaken IL
