JOHNSON PITCHES GREAT
BALL IN TIGHT SPOTS
Nationals Star Twirler Gives Remarkable
Exhibition Against Boston Red Sox.
Makes His Strike-Outs Count.

Stahl played the hit and run. Stahl hitting
over second base and Speaker going to
third. Milan's throw to catch him there
got through Elberfeld. but Speaker and
ball was recovered before he could get
up. With second and third occupied and
none out Johnson had to work his best

a sharp liner at Johnson, which the latter

again. Johnson gave his only base on
balls to Collins, after Carrigan had fam
ned. and with French out of the way
Lord singled. and it was again up to
Speaker. who drove a fly to left, ending
the inning.
For some unaccountable reason Walter
Johnson never pitches a game in which
he can take it easy. Conditions are al
ways such when he is on the rubber that
he has to keep at it with top speed. His
team seems to be unfortunate in that it
can't get any runs for it's star pitcher,
and a pitcher of less grit and nerve
would become discouraged under such
conditions.

let UP. though it seemed that when he
found himself in danger he had some re-

Most Of the hits made off of Johnson
were clean-cut, hard drives. The three
which came in the third were hard hit.
Speakers going to right at such speed
that Collins could not have got near the
plate, where Gessler made a strong
throw.
But only one of the sixteen safe drives
was for extra bases-a two-bagger by
Speaker, which came after two hands
were out.
Johnson has pitched some remarkab BILE
games since he became a member of the
locals. but none quite as queer as the
one of yesterday.

record which is not apt to be equaled
during the present season. Out of seven

But Speaker had two chances to break

failed. There were three on i'm the sew

for that matter. Never was there a
game in which almost every inning fur
nished many ripples of excitement,
and there were several innings when
the interest reached the highest possible
tension. Score. Washington 2. Boston L.
That such a remarkable exhibition of
pitching in the critical stages should be
crowned with victory is most gratifying.
To have lost that game In any inning after
the NINTH during which period johnson
had accomplished almost the impossible,
would have been discouraging indeed
No pitcher ever got into such tight
places and emerged therefrom in a more
sensational manner. One has but to
describe the several innings to establish
this fact. In the very first inning john
son accomplished no ordinary feat. He
had struck out French. the first man to
face him, and then Lord and Speaker
each singled. Lord taking third and
Speaker later stealing. johnson then
struck out Stahl and Wagner.
One of his most remarkable perform
ances came in the third inning, when
three sharp singles filled the bases with
but one man out. Johnson again made
victims of Stahl and Wagner, striking
them out and relieving his team from
q precarious situation.
Boston had man on second In the
fourth and but one out and again Johnson
pitched himself out Of It. Speaker hit
for two bases in the fifth. but could
not get any farther
1t was in the seventh that the visitors
got their only run, though there were
three on the bases and but one out in this
inning. Johnson hit Carrtgan. the first
man to face him. but struck out Collins
on attempted hunts. French singled and
Lord put down a well placed bunt which
he beat out. filing the bases. 1t was q
ticklish situation and Schaefer and Street
tried to catch French mapping, but
Streets throw was wide and Carrigan
scored Milan got the ball back into
the infield in time to catch French be-
Nv cen the bases and he was retired
Speaker ended the inning with long
fly to Gessler.
Hooper. the first man up in the ninth,
hit safely, Carrigan flied out trying to
bunt and Collins flied to left. Hooper
stole and French beat out an infield hit.
IL was up To Lord, but Milan caught his
short liner.
Then came the most remarkable inning
of them all. the tenth, which Speaker
opened with a hit to right. He and

earned a hair-line decision over light
weight Harlem Tommy Murphy in ten
fast rounds at the Empire A. c. last
night The honors of the milling We're SO
close that a referees decision might have

outgeneraled, but he did most of the fore
ing. Attell landed the more and the
cleaner blows.
To the spectators the bout became
somewhat tame after the first few rounds
Harlem Tommy did not appear to be In
the best of condition. His face was
drawn. he was pale. and he seemed to
tire easily. Then he made the mistake
of setting too fast a pace to begin with.

BEN LOMOND, Cal, April DIT is
not because Jim Jeffries is annoyed by
spectators that he has decided to do his
boxing behind closed doors, as was given
out but from a reliable source 1t was
learned today that JEFF wants to practice
a new style Of fighting which will battle
Johnson.
L will be remembered that Jeffries
famous crouch which beat Fitzsimmons
for the championship was taught him in
secret by Tommy Ryan.
1t was this crouch which beat F1tz.
and now Jeffries has an idea Of his own
which he intends to spring on the colored
champion. This new stunt is said to De
different from anything that has been
attempted by pugilist, and II the visitors
at the camp were to see JEFF use 1t, II
would not be long before johnson would
be aware of what to expect ana coulu
guard himself against 1t.
1t is figured that it will take Jenrles
some time to master the new style, but 1t
is at the same time claimed tnat ONCE
he acquires it, IT will be even more enec-
tive than was his crouch against fi|-
simmons.

amounts to little or nothing, though IL
will prevent jeff from doing lot Of
hard work. but that matters not. He
can do enough to keep himself just where
he left off, and that will be satisfactory,
for / venture to say that If pushed Jef-
fries can be gotten ready for a. fight in
three weeks. Don't allow yourself to be
misled about Jeffs condition. He will
enter the ring in better fettle than he
has ever been, for he will be as strong
as ever and l am sure much faster
jeff in Good Spirits.
Jeffries is the picture of rugged health.
He is also good humored and went
through his gymnasium work this morn
ing at fast clip. Much of the time he
whistled and laughed while working with
the pulleys and doing other things cal
culated to try out his wind. He was
frolicsome and toyed with his trainers.
"I1l be at hard work again in few
days" he said to Berger I'm feeling
like myself, though that old boil ON my
back pains a bit when l exercise, but it
won't bother me much longer.
There were a lot of visitors at the camp
today. but Jeffries did not give them the
slightest attention. He does not like
strangers about him.
