How He Held Out.

Year before last Johnson realized that
he was the only real big attraction of the
Washington club. When they won 1t
was generally Johnson who turned the
trick. He figured such being the case he
ought to get more than anybody else on
the club He held out in 1903 and finally
won his case. although the Washington
owners did not agree to his terms until
near the opening of the season. Without
Johnson the Washington team was a joke
and Owner Moves knew it.

BOWLING PLAYERS PRACTICE
! Hot Springs Squad Getting in Shape
on Jiggs Donohue's Alleys.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark, February IL
Preparatory to the first big game OF Sat
urday. the Washington players have been
limbering up their muscles at J1SSs
Donohues bowling alleys. which are just
now the mecca for base ball news. To-
night, Friday. the park bowling team
composed of Johnson, Schaefer, Mcbride
and Milan, will play match game with
Jiggs Donohues team, and some enthu-
siasln has been aroused over the results.
Bowling, mountain climbing and ball
tossing at Majestic Park has put the
players in good shape for an easy tryout
Saturday. Johnson, the premier pitcher,
has consented to pitch part of the game.
fIe has not had a ball in his hands since
he closed last season. he will so easy,
but expects to give himself a good work
out. Johnson. Mcbride, Walker and Mi
Ian say they are down to weight now
and need only the hardening process to
get into first-cass form. They are all
taking tonic baths and a good rundown
daily and feel fine. The games Saturday
and Sunday are we'll advertised and the
attendance will be sufficient to hang up
a fair-sized purse for the players. The
local street car management is putting
i'm spur track to the grounds. and ex-
poets to have it completed by Saturday
The lineup is as follows: All-Nationais-
All-Americans. Elliott and Land, catch
ers; Fromme and Johnson. pitchers;
Hackett and Donohue, first base; Schae-
fer and Delehanty, second base: Mullin
and Milan, center field: Burke and Con-
roy. third base: McQuillan. Hughes and
Walker will play in the field and pitch.

I'VE will stand pat with the material
we have on hand unless, of course, we
should pick up something when the
other clubs cut loose their superfluous
material early in the season"
The foolish era has surely arrived in
base ball, as in many other walks of life
says an exchange. Foolology is being
extensively taught in many quarters, and
about the silliest stuff of all is this idea
of awarding auto prizes to tine most
valuable players on big league teams
Take up the idea and study it clcse. Look
at it's various angles and possiDilities s.
or, rather. Representatives,. Then figure
out, if you can, how on earth an award
could be made that would be halfway
just and equitable. You can't do it. You
can't figure out any way in which these
autos could be awarded without riots
scraps and sundry other kinds of war.
Pick committee of newspaper men as
judges as has been suggested by Bar
Johnson. Suppose you select commit
tee of seyen-one man from each of the
cities of Chicago. ST. Louis, New York
Washington, Philadelphia. Detroit and
Cleveland of the American League. Tel
them at the end of the season to cast
players. How would that ballot read
For American League prize: Ed. Walsh
vote: Bob Wallace, vote: Hal Chase
vote; Walter Johnson, ] vote: Ed Col
llnS, L vote. IN SOpD, L vote, ana Larry
Lajoie, 1 vote.
The elimination of managers woulG
mean the dropping of both Chase and
Wallace from the contest.
Meanwhile we will suppose that seven
other press representatives from the
cities of ST. Louis. Cincinnati, Pittsburg
Philadelphia, Chicago. New York and
Brooklyn were balloting for the Ma
tional League award. Their ballots
read: Honey, 1 vote; Mitchell. l. vote;
Wagner, l vote: Magee, l vote: Cole,
1 vote; Mathewson, L vote, and Wheat,
l vote.
You couldn't award the prize on a bat
ting record, nor on the fielding. You
can't give 1t to a pitcher on pitching
alone You couldn't pick any one player
without 5000 fans telling you how much
more valuable tifty-seven other players
really were.
We will Just try it and say that if we
were on the committee we would give
Leonard Cole OF Chicago the National
League auto
Ed Honey says:
Eyes, Cole is a good pitcher. but look
how many games the team Won for him
when he had nothing. Holman was just
as valuable to Chicago as Cole was"
All right, we'll pass Cole and say that
Holman is the big noise and then Ma
gees friends protest. Ii is said against
Magee that he is a fine individual player,
but a crab. A fence had to be built be-
tween him and Johnny Bates last year to

prevent them from scrapping over fly
balls.
Had Wagner played to his usual form
he would have won the award under
wraps, but then he didn't.
Was it Bresnahan, with his aggressive
ness and brain Honey, with his big bat
and great fielding, or Higgins. with his
headwork and great rungetting ability ?
1t is a question to ponder over.
Higgins scored the runs. Honey drove
them in and Roger made the plays pos

THIS SEASON MAY PROVE
JENNINGS WORD ON JOHNSON
Detroit Manager Thought Him Best Pitcher
Last Year, Thinks World Will
Agree With Him in 1911.
By H. G. Salsinger.

| Special Dispatch to Tho Star.
| DETROIT. February 17.-"Walter John
son. premier hurler of the world
| The entire world does not agree with
| this assertion, but part of the world does,
and among those who think that the tow
! haired Swede Of the Nationals is the best
| pitcher in base ball is HuShie Jennings
| And the red-haired 1rishman says that
| everybody will agree with him in a year
! or two in everything he says about the
blonde giant from the west.
Johnson will be watched more closely
p, than any twirler in the league this year.
Each season he has improved. Jennings
says that last year Johnson was better
| than any other twirler in the business.
but he needs two or three years more to
| prove it to the world at large.
The Swede has had but three years
experience in the major leagues and those
| three years have seen service for tail
| end club, but while considering those
| facts also understand that Mr.. Johnson
| is the highest salaried pitcher in the
! league.
| He has no wonderful record for games
won like George Mullin. Bill Donovan. Ed
Walsh and many other stars; he has
| never helped win any remnants for Wash
ington. or performed the role of iron
man like Jack Chesbro. George Mullin,
Ed Walsh or Jack Coombs. yet this
youngster will draw more money this
year than any of these famous stars of
the mound.
Draws $1,000 Per.
1t is understood that Walter has a
| three-year contract with the Nationals
This contract calls for 5000 a year.
which is considered rather good pay for
man of twenty-five.
The fact that this youngster can drag
down such a high salary in times. of
base ball peace speaks volumes of praise
for his executive ability. proving that he
is just as good a business man as
pitcher
When Johnson came to Washington in
1907 he received in the neighborhood of

nothing wrong with Street. He is prob
ably in better condition than he was at
any time last season. but the fact that
he took a trip to the Springs sent his
stock down.
| The better the player the harder it is
to convince rival managers that there Is
nothing wrong with him. Let a club
offer to rid itself of one Of it's stars and
| there will be a suspicion at once that
there is something wrong with the player.
| 1t never was McAleer's intention to let
| Street out unless he could get a first
| class outfeder and a catcher in return
| for him. Such trade would have helped
the Nationals beyond doubt, but as it
| was impossible to make any sort of a
deal for Street the locals lost nothing by
\ being forced to retain him.
| In Street Ainsmith and Henry McAleer
! has A really wonderful catching staff.
Street and Ainsmith will, of course, do
| the bulk of the work, but Henry will he
| gradually developed He is regarded by
many as the most promising youngster in
| the league. Connie Mack being one of
| those to share this opinion.
| With much stress being placed on the
importance of a good catching staff, there
is surely cause for local patrons of the
game to rejoice, for the Nationals are as
well fortified in this respect as any team
in the country.
| 1921 - oiiC VI Tie cSSSHlldlS OF a WIN
ming ball team, which is sadly lacking on
| the local team. Milan and Schaefer are
the only members of the team who can
make an infield hustle when they are
| pound for first base. None of the other
players, at least none of those who have
| appeared here, has shown any feetness
of foot, though Conroy and Elberfeld are
considered clever on the bases.
John Somerlot did not create a very
favorable impression during his short
try-out with the Nationals last fall,
| ana yet 1t seems to have satisfied Nc
Aleer that he is the best man for the
place. or he would not have blazed a
| clean path for him by letting out ing
:, laub. 1t Is all right to talk about de-
veloping Lelivelt or Henry for the
place. but it would unquestionably take a
| full season or more to make them
| competent in the position, and Somer-
lot would be an Improvement over
| either or them in the matter of play
| ing the position because of his ex-
| perience.
| The fact that Somerlot DISPLAYED
| Intelligence both at the bat and on the
bases pleased McAleer and while he
! was not satisfied with his batting, he
| proved by a little coaching this spring
! AS rule batting ability is a gift of
nature, but there have been instances
proved by correcting fault and Som
| one of these instances.

If Nick Carter, the Georgetown end,
takes charge Of high school foot ball
team next fall. as it is reported he will.
he should have little trouble making
good. The Blue and Gray end has been
a consistent performer on the Hilltop
eleven for three years. AS far as his
ability as an end goes. there are few in
this section who are his superiors. He
is fast getting down under punts and
on the defensive uses excellent Judgment
in getting after his man. Carter is also
versatile player. 1t will be remem-
bered that during the season of 1909.
when Georgetown played the champion
ship Fordham team a 90. he held down
the left halfback's position in great style
and he had had but two days practice
before being placed there.
Besides his knowledge of foot ball Car
ter has other qualities that would cause
one to believe that he would do more
than make good as coach.

Only one of the interesting bouts
held at the National Guard gymna SUM
last night went overtime for a decision.
The ma jority OF the victories were
clean-cut and decisive. Members of
the Royal Athletic Club and Gallaudet
College were TO the fore in nearly all
the points, the former furnishing four
victors and the latter three.
