BY J. ED GRILLO.

The chances are that the Washington
club won't have the services OF Walter
johnson this year. The departure Of the
pitching star from the training camp TO
his home at Coffeyvile has made the
breach between him and the club so wide
that It is decidedly doubtful il even as
much as an effort will be made to bring
them together.
Certain 1t is that the club will make
no further overtures to Johnson, and
Judged on his action in leaving the squad
at Atlanta johnson is not very apt to
come to the club.
Ordinarily, a ball player would not
throw away $500 because he could not
get $1,000 more than he was offered. but
johnson is a peculiar chap in his bust
ness transactions. He does not have any
thing to say about his stand, nor does
he appear to hsrbor any ill feeling against
the club or Manager McAleer. Johnson.
however, is not of the type that will
weaken. If he intended to accept the
clubs terms he would not have left At
lanta. He fails to see the unreasonable
position he is occupying. and Johnson is
not easily convinced once he has made
up his mind. SO that it would not be at
all surprising If not another word was
heard from him, and he lived in retire
meDl on MS 1aTn-
II it were any other player but Johnson
the chances are that he would crawl into
the fold within week or two. but any
one who knows Johnson knows that this
Is not in his makeup. Nor can he be
charged with suffering with a case of
exaggerated ego. for there is nothing in
his demeanor either on or off the field to
justify this belief. But he has peculiar
ideas about money matters. and these he
is not apt to change even though he does
not earn a cent from base ball this sea-
son. Johnson is one of the best spenders
in base ball. Few players in the game
today live more cXtravagantly than john
son. and he will undoubtedly miss this
life il he remains on the farm.

cessions to Johnson. With the club 1t is

Incident-Club Will Neither

want to be held up. If Johnson would be
reasonable he could probably get a con-
tract calling for $500 a year for the
next three years, but he will not listen
to this, and insists upon having his pitch
ing arm earn $4,000 for him during that
period. He notified the club that If he
signed for $3.50 this year he would ex-
pect a raise both next year and the year
following, SO that in the aggregate he
would receive $27,OO0 for the three sea-
sons.
That is where the club baked. That
the public should side with the club in
its stand seems but natural, for Johnson
is unreasonable in the extreme, though
he does not see it that way and probably
never will
1t is of course foolish to try to make
any one believe that the club will not be
weakened by JohnSon's absence, for it
will. Johnson gave promise of being a
much better pitcher this year than he
has ever been before. He has grown
wise with experience and would have
been a wonderfully successful pitcher this
year. He will surely be missed. But base
ball is a bigger game than any individual
in it. Washington had base ball long be-
fore Walter Johnson was heard of and
1t will continue to have it. The team
representing this city I'm the American
League race has never been prominent in
the race either before or after Walter
poets were decidedly bright, but the alb
sence of johnson leaves the teams stand
ing in the race more in doubt than ever
before
1t is to be hoped that after little sober
reflection down on the farm Johnson will
see the error Of his way, pack his grip
and come to Washington. where he would
he received with open arms. but those
who know the big pitcher best are eX-
tremely doubtful II this will transpire.

Won't Be Sold or Traded.

Now, of course, will come the period of
rumors of trades. There will, of course,
be other clubs willing to take Johnson
off of the local clubs hands. There may
be offers of trades or a vast sum of
cash. But whatever the proposition it
will be turned down. Walter Johnson
will play in Washington Or not at all in
organized base ball. That Is the club
ultimatum. Were it willing to sell, pur-
chaser might be found willing to pay
$4,000 for Johnson. In any other bust
ness it would be good policy to sell, in
base ball it would be a mistake under
existing conditions. Johnson has been
treated fairly here. For him 1t must be
said that he always gave the team his
best efforts. The contract offered him
this year calls for a two-thousand- dollar
increase over last year Quite sum for
young man Of twenty-three to turn
down and go back to the farm.

AN UNFOUGHT DUEL.
The Way the Father of His Country
 Avenqsd a Blow.

The Way the Father of His Country
 Avenged a Blow.
 It is narrated that on one occasion in his early manhood Washington came very near the settlement of a dispute, so common in those days, by fighting a duel. But as he was the one who should have issued the chal- lenge he had the still greater courage to apologize and admit that he was in the wrong.
 It was in the town of Alexandria, where the young Virginia colonel was quartered with his troops, that an cleo ton dispute occurred, and in the heat of the party excitement Washington told a Mir. Payne that he lied That gentleman at once replied with blow that knocked the young colonel down. Word having reached the barracks that their beloved commander had been killed, his soldiers rushed to the city to avenge him. He met them, however. Quieted them, and they re- turned to their quarters.
 MT. Payne, on receiving a note from Washington the next morning asking him to call at his lodgings, supposed it was, of course. to give the colonel opportunity to demand satisfaction" for the blow he had received the day before. Imagine his surprise when. instead of finding pistols. or swords ready for a duel. Washington greeted him with outstretched hand. saying: "I believe was wrong yesterday. You have already had some satisfaction. and if you deem that sufficient here is my hand. Let us be friends."-H. A. Ogden in St. Nicholas.

Usual ly it is at evening that the Japanese sit at their ease to listen to the music of their imprisoned insects. One called the ''suzu-mushi" gives out, 1t is said, a kind of trill so delicate and clear as to sound like an etherealized birds song.
 One species of Japanese mouse may be said to waltz through the greater part of the waking hours of it's life. never tiring, though it's feet wear out in the process.

 The Japanese says that waltzing seems to be as essential to the happi- ness of this mouse as midair somer- saults are to the tumbling pigeon.

 ''There is too much chinning in this piece. The author is behind the times and seems to forget that what we want nowadays is hair raising situa- lions and detectives.
 "In the hands of a skillful play. wright detective would have been put upon the track of Hamlet's uncle, and the old man would have been hunted down in a manner that would have lifted the audience out of their cowhides.
 ; 'The moral of the piece is not good. The scene where Hamlet sasses his mother is a very bad example to the rising generation.
 "Our advice to the author is more action, more lovemaking and plenty of specialties. The crazy girl scene should be cut out altogether and a rattling good song and dance substi- tuted'
