WALTER JOHNSON
CALLED TO TINE
BY COMMISSION
Reported That Playing
With Outlaws Will
Cause Trouble.

Trouble is reported to be brewing for
Walter Johnson. WashingtOn's star
young pitcher.
In the exuberance Of his youthful en-
thusiasm walter has been writing 10
friends I'm the East telling them that he
was playing winter bali in California
and making the opposing batters look
foolish. He struck out so many men
the scorer was ashamed TO tell the
total, and at bat he hit SO many homers
that they made a rule of over the fence
IS out for his special benefit. These
tidings cheered the hearts OF the Cap
itaI fans except those who thought the
phenom might DO overriding the thing.
and great hopes were entertained OF
Walter.
Now comes an awakening in the story
that Walter was pitching himself 10
death for the beneht Of the outlaw clubs
in California and thereby brought upon
himself the dispIeasure of the National
Commission, which has forbidden men
signed under the national agreement TO
take part wi.a those without the pale.
Charges are said to have been preferred
against the youth and he viii have TO
square himself with the commission.
ne 1aALOLll-.A outlaws became aellhG
al the end Of last season, announced
they would increase their circuit, sign
major league stars, and otherwise buck
the big leagues. That drew down upon
them the edict Of baseball eXcommunica-
ton, and among those who were ordered
10 stop playing I'm the ambitious Coast or
ganizatlon was Hal Chase. who held out
TOR awhile, blf recanted when he got a
straight tip lllat il he did not be good
he would be barred from that tat New
York American salary.
johnson seems to have continued in
the paths Of wickedness after the nor
ribIe example furnished by Chase had
been brought before his eyes. and it is
said he will have to speak a nice piece
to the commission and probably pay a
fine. such as was inflicted upon Tom
Hughes when he jumped Washington in
1905 and took a job with the Chicago
semi-pros. IL cost Thomas a century,
and it is possible that Johnson may SUI
fer the same. or even more.
BENJAMIN s. Minor, Of the Washing
ton baseball club, said this morning that
ne had heard nothing of the trouble in
which Johnson may be involved and re-
fused 10 comment on the case.

NAMES CHOATE
FOR THE PRESIDENCY

Joseph II. Choate, former ambassador
Go England, was placed IN nomination
for the Presidency today by Theodore
Sutro, the Well-known New York at
torney.
Il am a Democrat" admitted Sutro.
Il am a stanch Democrat, but TO me
ii seems that Mt. Choate Is the ablest
man in the Republican ranks TO occupy
the Presidential chair
Some OF the disgruntled politicians
say that the Democratic party lacks
available men for the Presidency This
is a grave mistake. There are plenty OF
good me1 in the party who have not
had opportunity 10 do things, because
the Republican party has been in power
so long. Judge Gray and Judge Har-
mon stand out as very good Presidential
timber. If either of them was nomin-
ated l believe the Republican party
would go down in defeat"

and foOtwork, but he can hit like a
mule kicks. IN the very first round,
after they had stepped around for two
minutes, Fitzgerald brought a short left
hook over on D0noyan's jaw, and he
went down on all fours. He used the
lower rope for support. and was Just
able 10 regain his feet as the bell
sounded.
Donovan was bit weak IN the sec
end, hut he managed 70 get home a lew
jabs and pull through without being
hurt again.
