THIS AND THAT

The continuous service of Walter John
son has created all sorts of talk among
the Washington fans and many of the
anxious ones are condemning Manager
Cantil1on for working the young man so
often for fear of injuring his effective
ness next season. 1t can be stated right
here that Wonderful Walter is priced
above everything by Manager Cantillon,
and he is never sent to the rubber with
out first being consulted as to how he
feels and whether he cares about the
extra work. Johnson knows just how
much he can stand in the way of work
and that there is no need of his pitching
unless he feels so inclined. How any one
can imagine that Cantillon would take d
chance on lnjurlng the one tWirler whom
he expects to put him in the running
next season is absurd. Walter belongs
to that class of pitchers who are only
good when worked a great deal. He told
a Star reporter on his return from New
York that he never felt better than when
he had finished the first game last Mon
day. his third in succession. and that he
would have continued in the second but
for the fact that both he and Cantillon
didn't care to make the Yankees feel bad
over being beaten four times in a row by
one tWirler.
When the final man was retired in the
ninth inning | was pitching the swiftest
ball | believe ! have ever developed. -
said Johnson, land the opposing bats
men were completely at sea. My arm felt
VIZ Il was made of steel and could go on
forever.
"a. ullon cannot give me too much
work from now TO the end of the year.
did nothing for him at the opening of the
season, and only within the last couple
of weeks have | found my full strength
coming back to me. If my health keeps
good / would like to work every other
day from now until the end of the season.
and l feel so good that ! don't think the
extra work would harm me at all
Walter was going along nicely yester-
day. and he was practically effective
that he became careless. and the run
scoring of the Athletics can be ascribed
to this fact. Especially was this notice
able in the seventh inning, when he al
lowed Lapp and Schiller to make sin
giles after two were out, thereby getting
himself into a difficult position. Before
that Lapp and Schiller were pigmies be-
fore him. and Walter doubtless sent the
ball straight across taking a chance on
the fielders doing the rest.
No one need worry about Mr.. Johnson.
The more he works the better he is, and
before Manager Cantillon would allow
him to injure that priceless arm he
would probably lose every game for the
remainder of the season.
Tomorrow afternoon the Nationals and
time for double-header, the first game
starting promptly at o'clock Charley
Smith and Tom Hughes may do the twirl-
ing for the locals. but don't be surprised
If you see Wonderful Walter" mount
the rubber in either the first or second
game. Johnson will have a whole day 5
rest and by tomorrow Afternoon should be
ready for the gong. Manager Mack has

HURDLE RECORD BROKEN
ARTHUR B. SHAW LOWERS GAR
RELS' TIME FOR 100 YARDS.
Chicago Athletic Association Scores
Easy Victory in Central Amateur
Athletic Association Meet.

CHICAGO. September IA world s
record for the 120-yard hurdles was es-
tabilshed today at the annual meet of the
Central Amateur Athletic Association, on
Marshal Field. The meeting was an
easy victory for the Chicago Athletic AS
ISOLATION. which scored 50 points. COM
pared with 10 points for its nearest rival,
the University of Chicago The list
Regiment, I. N. c., was third, with Is
points.
The new high hurdle record for 10
yards was established by Arthur B. Shaw
of Joliet. ILL.,, a graduate of Dartmouth,
who lowered the time of Kraenzlem
of the University of Pennsylvania
1872 seconds. to 10 seconds fiat, amidst a
burst of cheers from large crowd which
filled the stands. Kraenzlem made his
| record at Parkside in 1888 Shaw's time
might easily have been even better had he
had opposition, but he finished far In the
lead and slowed down as he approached
the tape. Once before at an eastern meet
Shaw did the distance in 10 fiat. but the
| record was not allowed. as he was aided
by strong wind.
The absence of John c. Garrels was the
most bitter disappointment of the after
noon SO far as track events were con-
cerned. Garrels participated in the weight
events but owing to an injured leg did
not enter the hurdles. J. A. Rector of the
University of Virginia. who was expected
to try for worlds record at 120 meters,
did not attend the meet. Summaries:

TWO GOOD GAMES PLAYED
CHANGE STANDING IN SECTION
B OF PoST-SEASON SERIES.
Twining Wins One and Nescos the
Other-Shopmen Now Out
of the Running.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.


TwInies &C 500 Sh9pmsn; 8 :aSo
BY decisively defeating Shopmen of the
Commercial League the Twining Athletic
Club has placed itself in good position
to capture the flag in section b of the
post-season series.
The defeat was a hard dose to the
Shopmen, as it throws them out of the
running entirely, when a win would have
meant at least a tie for the champion
ship.
Classy twirling by Greene was respon-
slble for the victory. Besides letting such
heavy SluggerS as the Turner's, Dough-
erty and Meredith down with three hits
one of which was scratch. he struck out
seven men and walked but one, and was
lnvincible with men on bases.
Clever fielding by Evans, Downey and
Howard pulled Greene OUT of Il few holes
d stop and throw by Evans being the
cleanest.
For the Shopmen Rupert, who retired
in the fifth inning with sore shoulder,
pitched splendid game, and not hit
was made while he was in the box.
Thompson, who succeeded him, was bat
ted hard, and the three hits garnered by
TWinins were made off his delivery.
Thompson, who holds the strike-out
record for the District, struck out seven
men during his stay on the rubber but
gave two bases on balls, which figured in
the run-gettlng.
Twning scored first in the fourth in
ming on an error by Meredith. on which
Evans took second and scored on Sulli-
vans wild heaVe to first. In the eighth
hits by Howard and Mccarthy scored the
second run, and base on balls to Geibel
and Meredith'S error resulted in the third
and last run of the game.
In the ninth inning a sharp liner was
hit toward right center, but Kellher by a
good sprint captured the ball and put an
end to d very interesting game.

Being advised that the fight was a
financial failure. he advised the
youthful pugilist to remain at
home in the future.

there's an old proverb and a true
one. "A rolling stone gathers no

Six months later Corbett boxed
Kiirain in New Orleans, and when

approached him. This time he re-
piled that he had made n lot of
money, and paid him $50 he had
borrowed on previous occasion.

The Nationals scored in the first inning
to the glad acclaim of the spectators who
filled every seat i'll the different stands.
Milan struck out, but Ganley worked a
base on balls. Bob then quickly stole
second, then third. and Lapp threw
badly to Manush the Nationals captain
continued on home.
In the second Freeman singled to left
and Mcbride sacrificed him TO second.
Street famed. but Wonderful Walter"
tripled to the clubhouse and Freeman
scored. Walters good pitching is gener-
ally applauded as matter of course, and
those not present can well imagine what
the fans" did in the way of yelling
when he slammed that ball to the eX-
treme end of right center field.
In the third the trio of runs was com
pleted and then the locals took a rest for
a time. After Ganley had flied to Muir
ply. Cnglaub singled into center, stole
second and went to third when Lapp
threw into center field trying to head him
off. Delehanty was there with his guar
anteed long fly to Seybold, and on the out
Unglaub dashed home.
