WHY PLAYERS DON'T

the season. and this gave them a great ad-
vantage over the players Of to-day
When q man has a tough time hitting

more money than Washington whole
lot more" writes Walter Johnson. the
Nationals great pitcher. I have not
signed a contract for this season, and
viii not 90 so until Joe gives me the
money I think am worth he adds.
Johnson's demands are not what you
might call modest. He wants 5000 a
year. and says that since ne has been
playing with the Nationals ne has never
been handed an increase in his pay en-
~elope, despite reports 20 the contrary
When johnson left Washington last fan

scales a. 201. and says he never felt bet
Ter in his life. He is keeping II hne
shape. pitching a game now and then.
and believes that next season viii be
the best OF his career. he also wishes
his friends here TO know that he lives in
Fullerton. Cal, and not Orlando.

he likes Washington. and has been roy
ally treated by the fans here.

Sex star, gets S6.00o, a sum for which, ac-

johnson IS surely worth S403o. His two
years service here certainly calls for a
raise. and the fans VIII be surprised 20
learn that the contract rendered him some
time ago named the same figures for
which he signed when he Joined the club.
johnson further writes that Dave Al
tier IS kicking Vp q lot Of dust on the
Coast and the fans have gone into ex-
stasies over his playing This Is not 10

WALK CURE IS TRIED ON GER
 MAN CHILDREN.

Berlin-The unIon of the Berlin School of Physicians has been investi- gating the effect of open air walking on the health of school children. Doc tor Raider has presented report on the subject. He examined the school children before and after a walking tour to see whether the favorable results of such a trip were only subjective or whether objective benefit resulted. Fffty-six pupils were sent on walking trips in three groups. each under the leadership of teacher. on an average the children walked from ten to twenty miles g da"
 They were given coffee. milk and white bread for breakfast During the day they got bread and butter. In the evening they were given warm din ner One series of well nourished. strong children did not change weight during the six days tour. A small number either lost weight ar gained from one to three pounds. The results of the tour were strongly manifested some time after it was over During the following three months fifty of the fifty-siX children gained from three to twenty two pounds in weight. From this it would appear, says Doctor Raider. that the violent muscular ex- ercise. stimulated the organism to in creased mctabolism and more rapid growth.-New York World.

got in range he would pick off one with q rifle and without soaring the rest Of the flock to death as an anna teur hunter would do.
 And here Is the evidence of his sportslnanship. Most of his hunt ing was done with a rifle. using n 25- 30 or 22 special with an extra heavy charge of powder behind the bullet. It isn't the noise of the gun or the size of the hole torn into an animal that marks the shooter as a sports man, but his ability to hit d vital spot do it neatly, surely. and as pain lessly as possible. 1t may seem like big story to say that he hunts bear with q 22 rifle, but that is just what he does nevertheless; that is with d 22 rifle ball especially and heavily charged for penetrating large tar get. He can bring down turkey and bear with the same gun alternately. and not make mess of either one of them. 1t is his, theory that lot away the game.
 Another very important feature of Mir. Pachons hunting outfit is his hunting dog, thoroughbred Austral- ian shepherd. an animal seldom met with in these parts though there are some good dogs here with some 5lood of that breed in their veins. Tic dog is just as useful to his master as are his 22 bullets for beside being good watch dog he serves the purpose "f a whole pack of ordinary bear hounds or other hunting dogs
