/ IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
WALTER JOHNSON IS
BEHIND bREASTWORKS
Signs Contract With Washing
ton Club and Is Pleased
Over the Event.

President Moves Manager McAleer and
Pitcher Walter Johnson of the Washing
ton club were in conference about ten
minutes this morning. and at it's con-
clusion the news was given out that
the great twirer had finally placed his
name to a contract. Walter was seen
after the conference and appeared great
ly pleased over the fact that he had sign
ed. and said the club had given him
everything he had asked for.
There has never been any differences
whatever between the club and myself"
said Johnson. II knew the club would
give me what I wanted, and President
Noyes and Manager McAleer have treat
ed me royalty. ] am glad l am inside
the breastworks with the other boys and
will do my best this year for the Wash
ingtoa club
President Moves and Manager McAleer
were also pleased over the fact that
Johnson had signed. as 1t practically
winds up the signing of the entire team.
1t is quite job to get everybody in
line, whether they are satisfied or not,
and congratulations are in order over
the speedy signing OF the team this year.
1t was not unusual for the players in
past years to wait until after the sea-
son starts before placing their names to
contracts
Manager McAleer was gratiied to see
Johnson in such fine condition and de-
cided TO work him in three innings this
afternoon against the Phillies. Mac says
he is depending on Johnson to set his
other twirlers good example in the way
nf winning games and is confident he has
several others on the staff who will be
close on Walters heels.
Dixie" Walker chaperoned Walter
Johnson down town to the conference
with Messrs. Noyes and McAleer and
was almost as much pleased as the star
twirler over the happy termination. john
son has taken Dixie under his wing
and the big-hearted Georgian is greatly
tattered at the attention given him.
Every member Of the team went out
10 the park this morning, but not TO prac-
tice. The selection of lockers and stor-
ing away bats. suits and other parapher-
MALTA kept the boys busy until ii was time
to come down town for luncheon. They
were out early this afternoon for snort
practice before the game starts at 1880

HOLY CPOSS WINS
Takes Poorly Played Game From
the Blu. ard GRAY R,ys.

In a poorly played game the Holy Cross
team downed Georgetown yesterday aft
ernoon. The final score was IA TO g.
'Wab' O.Connor was the rubber
for Georgetown. but that is all that can
be said of his performance, except that he
managed to get through the first round
without the northerners getting a score.
The. started on him in the second in
nin2, however. and before the smoke had
cleared away eight men had crossed the
pan The game was clinched then. as the
bes, the local boys could do during the
entire nine innings was to get three run
ners home.
The second inning tired the visitors SO
much that they let up on the Blue and
Gray twirler for the next two innings,
out they came back in the fifth and an
nexed two more runs The next inning
three more trotted home and in the eighth
;nother registered.
Georgetown got one run in the second
another in the fourth and the last in the
seventh.

Marriage Will Follow.

'Rube" Waddel, the ST. Louis Brown
eccentric southpaw, will be given another
chance in the matrimonial league from
which he was released two months ago
after a five-year tryout by Mrs. Wynne
Waddell. Miss Margie Mcguire of New
Orleans mas consented to give Rube trial
in answer to telegram and twenty-five
post cards a day.
Waddell met Miss Mcguire a party
here last summer while she was attend
ing school in ST. Louis. She is in ST.
Louis now, having arrived the day the
Browns left for their training camp. Wad-
dell and his intended bride had planned an
elopement Monday. April 4, which will be
Rube's first day of leisure after the
teams return to st. Louis. They also
had planned to keep their wedding a Sc

NOTES OF THE GAME.

When Mace declared Landgraff safe at
the home plate in the first inning Charley
Street struck the ceiling, figuratively
speaking. He rushed up to Mace and
pushed him with his body, and the UNI
pire made a lunge at Charley with his
mask The fracas came off so quickly
that the players didn't have chance to
interfere. but they finally got between the
by the arm The officers have way of
making quick work of scrappy ball play
ers in Richmond. and it looked like the
hurry-up wagon for Charley, but Mace
called off the police and the game pro-
ceeded. Street said afterward that Mace
had given the Richmonds all the best of
the strikes and balls, and when he called
LandgraH safe on sure out 1t was SO
raw that he couldn't control himself.
From the scorers box it looked as though
Mace was trying too hard to please the
home as well as the visiting team, in
stead of giving the plays as they came
up.
Manager Lawler Of the Richmonds
adopted Win Clark's tactics of sending
his team first to the bat, so as to keep
the Nationals from getting their full nine
turns at the plate. Lawler said yester-
day that he was sorry he hadn't thought
of it sooner. as the Nationals would have
won by but to Monday. instead of IA
to f. After this the major league clubs
will be pushed into the field first down in
Virginia. so as to keep the scores down
as much as possible.
In the fourth inning Brown hit fy
into center as Bigbie, who was on first
started for second. Milan took in the
situation instantly, but in his haste to
make the catch and double up Bigbie he
overran the fly and had to pull it down
with his left hand. Before Milan could
recover himself Bigbie beat the throw
back to first.
Jack I.elivelt made a pretty steal of
second in the fifth and for some reason
the Richmonds started off the field Jack
was on his feet in a second and dug out
for third which he made in safety. Man
ager I.awler said that Mace had called
LeIivelt out at second. but the umpire
said nay.
The team arrived home last night about
1910 o'clock and made a Decline for
their hotels. A majority went to the
Dewey, as they had been stopping there
last season About fifty fans remain
ed up TO see the boys come in and there
was considerable handshaking at the sta
ton.

The former pastor of the congrega-
ton, Rev. George w. Clarke, of Hen
derson, and Rev. DR.. j. N. Prestridge,
of Louisville, will assist in the services
The new edifice is a most imposing
one and pleasing in its exterior form, as
will be seen by the accompanying illus
tration, which does not do tull justice
to the handsome structure.
A view of it's interior arrangement is

TO SELL MARK TWAIN'S LIBRARY

In a few weeks the library of the
late Samuel l.. Clemens will be sold
at auction. This, like other instances
of its kind, seems a great pity. There
is personality or at least an indi-
viduality, about a carefully selected
library which deserves longer lease
of life than usually comes to it. To
men of culture and refinement who
have the means there is no Occupa-
ton in life of more enjoyment or prof
it than collecting library-nOt col
lection OF books for show, but one for
personal reading. The man who loves
books loves nothing of material sort
so well. Yet practically all such col
lections are dissipated under the auc-
tiOneers hammer.
We have so many books these days,
so many free libraries that a private
library seems to have lost the COM
manding Importance it once possess
ed. Down at the Ridgway branch of
the Philadelphia library may be seen
in room the Loganian library. the
collection which belonged to the
friend and deputy of William Penn.
Even in the new world the young Lo-
gan found time to enjoy literature,
and his collection of books was the
finest in this hemisphere. 1t is a pleas
ure to have it unimpaiIed to this day.
One feels he knows the man better
after spending some hours in that
room, even if he is not so familiar
with Greek and Latin as the original
owner
Aside from those volumes which are
highly priced by collectors" and are
valued for other than mere literary
worth. almost every private library
sold at auction goes for fraction of
its original cost-twenty-five per cent
being liberal estimate Yet the books
are more valuable than when new
because they have intimate associa-
tons with a scholarly man, not to
mention autographs or notes fire.
quently found. We put too large a
premium upon mere newness. Second
hand bookstores contain many rich
treasures which can be bought for
very little.
1t seems a pity that a carefully Sc
lected library cannot maintain its ex-
lstence and be appreciated as in the
owners time. But such is not the
spirit OF the age. 1t is pity, for as
Bacon remarked, Reading lnaketh the
full man." and almost every one
wastes precious hours which might be
devoted to informing and entertaining

years he had occupied the center of
a vast palace that was like an enor-

100000 spies. He kept 1, 900 books,
in which the doings of his spies and
the actions of those he was watching
were recorded.
There were 1000 secret rooms
