containing $4,000, disappeared two
weeks ago in a manner similar to a

Mike Kahoe failed to find any pitching
phenoms in the wilds of Vermont from
where he returned this morning. Inc
twirlers he was tipped off on were real
green hands who would not stand much
of a chance in an ordinary minor league
let alone in the American League. kahoe,
however does not figure this trip wasted.
You can't afford to pass up any tip
YOU get on bail players these days. said
he Some of the best men we have in
the game today came from some remote
spot, ard it pays in the long run to run
down every clue you get.
Il have been nearly everywhere except
on the coast this summer and looked over
a lot of players who were touted as
wonders but who were far from it.
1T is strange how opinions on players
differ It has been my experience that
there are but few old players who know
a good player when they see one. Some
of them seem to have mistaken idea OF
what is required of a player to make
good in this company. But. as said be
fore it does not pay TO pass any of these
tins up The safest way is to look them
over for couple of DAYS and see what
they are No matter how many dead ones
YOU may go after, it pays II you find one

Walter johnson is demonstrating that
he was justified in demanding a seven
thousand-dollar salary from the local
club There are pitchers on McAleer' S
staff who draw half that amount, and on
that basis the club got a bargain
when it signed Johnson for the figure
stated. Though Johnson got a miserable
start because of poor physical condition
this is going to be by far the most sue
cessful season he has had. In fact. it
seems to be but the beginning Of the
great career which has been predicted for
Johnson from the very first day that he
appeared in Washington uniform. john
son, who came here right off the lots. has
Lad four years experience now, and from
a crude performer with world of natu-
raj ability has developed into finished
twirler. johnson knows the fine points
of the art now. He no longer relies en-
tirely on that terrific speed, but he has
learned how to work a batsman. Let
johnson start the next season in good
physical condition, and though he prom
ises to be right the heels OF the
leaders this year. he will do even better
next Put high-class ball team be-
hind Johnson and let him be ready to do
himself justice, and II would not be al
all impossible for him to go through a
season without being charged with a de-
feat No pitcher has more stuff than
Johnson, and now that he has learned
to use his natural ability to the best ad
vantage he is virtually unbeatable.
While 1t is, of course, true that john
son more than any one else is responsible
for the good showing the Nationals have
made of late, he having won eight con-
secutive games, his position with the team
is no diuerent from that of Bender vita
the Athletics, Mathewson or Marquard
with the Giants, or Gregg with Cleveland:
Take any one of these. pitchers out of
his team and its standing would De
greatly diminished.
Johnson has pitched twenty-nine games
this season and he has won twenty of
them, though his team has but a per-
centage of .42l. While there are several
pitchers in the league who have won
more games and have higher percentage
of victories, these are members OF teams
which have a percentage over the 800
mark, consequently must be stronger than
are the Nationals. While Johnson may
not lead the pitchers this year. so far
as figures go, he will most likely prove
himself the most effective when the fact
that he is with a losing team is taken
into consideration.
Local patrons of the game have seen
little or nothing of Ray Morgan, who is
