was the most important outgrowth of

confession of 16 members of the board
of supervisors. returned scores of in

wherein Ruef was charged with ex

second trial upon charge of having
bribed supervisors in the application
of the Parkside Realty company for q

PRESIDENT JOHNSON
ON ANNUAL ROUNDS

President B. B. johnson of the Ameri-
can League dropped into the city yes
terday on his way around the circuit. and
seen this morning by a Star reporter Mr..
Johnson said that nothing special had
brought him to Washington He is SIM
ply making a tour of the American
League cities, as he does frequently each
season. to see how the umpires work. and
also the players. The season in the west
so far. has been very successful. and Mr.
Johnson says that the year promises to
be the greatest In the history of the
American League.
Every club has been playing well this
spring. said Mr.. Johnson. land there is
not one that can be rated this early in
the season as being out of the pennant
race.
THE umpires have been getting along
nicely. very little trouble coming up. and
l am glad the players and managers have
decided to eliminate kicking as much as
possible from the games, as the public
does not care for that sort Of thing. All
the games are clean and we'll played. and
/ know that my umpires are working at
all times to the best of their ability to
give satisfaction to everybody concerned.
II am glad the Washington club has
been playing so well. as 1t makes the pen
nant race warmer and keeps everybody
interested
President johnson will probably remain
in Washington, until Sunday, as he has
heard SO muchN about the Nationals that
he is anxious to see them play.

crash together. and were holding their
breaths. Milan got d flash of Ganley tear
ing directly at him and ducked under
Bob's outstretched arms. Ganley held on
to the ball, completing a fine catch under
conditions that made it difficult. Both
these boys are playing exceptionally good
ball. and an accident at this time would
mix things up considerably, but as Milan
has been extremely unfortunate of late 1t
certainly looked like another mishap for
him.
In the same inning Tom Hughes. who
was going along in the pitching line like
a Walsh or Mathewson, pulled of
saved a base hit. Williams met the ball
squarely on the nose and it went at
Hughes like a shot. Tom stuck down his
glove and came up with the ball in the
most artistic manner possible and threw
the batter out at first. 1t was certainly
Hughes day."
Manager Cantillon had the boys out in
good time this morning, and they got in
nearly two hours fast practice before
the drizzle commenced. This practice
comes in very handy in case the game is
postponed. as a whole days rest-up is
liable to slacken up team. and more
especially If the weather is cold. Man
ager Joe thought he would work Falken-
berg this afternoon, and as the tall boy
has had a good rest. he will probably be
able to keep the Brownies in check. Man
ager McAleer will no doubt work the
newcomer Criss. as he has little faith
in Howell going well in Washington. and
his hot weather condition. Crisis has
pitched several clever games, and with
Falkenberg going right an interesting
battle should result.
Ollie Pickerings showing against the
Browns has been a very good one and
compared with that of Charley Jones
the former has all the better of the argu-
ment. In batting Pickering has made
five hits to three by Jones and on two of
the hits drove in a run each time. In
fielding Pick has an error chalked up
against him, but his work in the field
compares very well with the ex-National.
as he has had more chances. many of
never-say die spirit. 1t is all in favor of
Ollie.
Umpire Jack Sheridan was there with
a first-class game and there was not a
decision questioned. except when one or
two CT the Brownies tried to cover up
by debating with the arbitrator over
strikes.
Tomorrow the celebrated White Sox
| headed by that sterling player and man
ager Fielder Jones. will be here and a
hot series is in the prospective Freddy
Parent is back on the shortstop job
after weeks lay off, and George Davis
is now guarding second. Ex-National
John Anderson has replaced Hahn in
right field. and he has been batting like
the veritable giant he is. AS Smith
pitched against the Athletics yesterday.
Nick Altrock will probably go on the
rubber against the Nationals tomorrow,
while Manager Cantillon may give
Charley Smith another chance to get into
a winning stride.

Bride hammered a long fly to right field
that came down almost on the foul line
and hardly yard from the bleacher
stand. Danny was playing well over to-
ward center. but intuitively he started
with the crack of the ball on the bat and
he seemed to skim the grass in getting
over the field. Just as the ball was about
to strike the ground Hoffman stuck out
his two hands. chung to the ball while
on the dead run. and as Freeman had al
most reached second. he was doubled up
with ease. Danny is quite favorite in
this city. and there was hardly person
inside the grounds but what either cheer
ed or clapped heartily over the catch.
Jerry Freeman made a beautiful play
on the speedy Charley Jones in the third
inning that saved at least one run. as
there were two on bases at the time with
two out. The ball was hit like shot at
Hughes. and 1t caromed off his shins to-
ward first base. Freeman rushed In.
grabbed the ball and touched Jones at
the instant he was passing him like the

then came Street with tremendous drive

COMMENT ON THE GAME.

flies In rotation, and when the Washing
tons went to the bat Charley Jones was
handed two nice ones. The other outs
were secured in identically the same way.

Little Shipke had an exceptionally good
day. and nere's hoping he will have many
more. In the second inning Ferris drove
a fierce one to left that Shipke stopped
very neatly with one hand and threw the
batter out at first. 1t was a hard play
but executed so perfectly as to make i,
look almost ordinary. Bill was also some
pumpkins at the bat, slamming out a
triple and q single.
George Stone whipped a long fly into

The triumphant career of the ST. LOUIS
Browns was checked yesterday by the
veteran Tom Hughes. who pitched mag
nifcent game. allowing but five scattered
hits. and as a result the visitors were
shut out, Washington winning by the
score of 4 to o.
The veteran depended upon his lately
developed spit ball. which. coupled with
his well known speed. completely banned
the opposing batsmen. who seemed unable
to get the ball outside of the diamond.
But five chances were offered the local
outhelders, all the rest falling to the in
fielders and Catcher Street. In i've OF
the nine innings Hughes turned back the
Browns in their order of going up to the
plate to bat and in but two innings had
they a chance to get a runner over the
plate In these two danger spots sensa-
tional fielding by Freeman and clever
pitching by Hughes lifted the locals safe
1y over the threatened point. Hughes has
pitched many good games this spring.
but few that oushone yesterdays per-
Torrance.
The celebrated "Rube' Waddell was on
the rubber for the Browns. but he could
not get his speed ball to break properly
and as result he was hit in desultory
fashion throughout the game. Two hits
were punched in the first and last in
nings and three of the four runs scored
The other run was the result of base
on balls. a stolen base. a wild pitch and
timely single by Ollie Pickering. the

worked with all his ability to fool the
Washington batsnen. but the men he
probably feared the least were the ones
to hit him the most successfully. Picker

two clean singles and laid down safe
bunt: Charley Street slugsed out double
and triple that scored runs in both in
stances. and little Shipke. who has been
unable TO do any batting of late. got in
a triple and single. The other hit went
TO Freeman'S credit.
Sensational Fielding.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use of improp-
er food.
Those who are still young and
robust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear
stone away at last, so will the use or
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago had lot of trouble
from indigestion, caused by too rich
food. l got so l was unable to d.
gest scarcely anything, and medicines
seemed useless.
"a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly, and as
last resort tried it. am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
heved me of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or
gans so that can now eat anything l
desire. But l stick to Grape-Nuts."
