FOR WALTER JOHNSON

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. February %
Decidedly the best game Of the season
thus far was played here yesterday af-
ternoon between the All-Americans and
the All-Nationals, the former winning
by the score of four to three. The star
player of the game was Walter Johnson.
Washington's premier pitcher. who land
ed on the ball for a home run. In adj
dition to the honor of rapping out two
home runs in as many games. he has the
added distinction OF having lined out
the longest fly on record at the Majestic
ball park.
The climatic conditions were ideal for
sinsery ball playing and the players
exhibited plenty of pepper. The air was
just chilly enough to make them want
to hop about lively. and as a conse-
quence the best game Of the season was
witnessed.
wild Bill Donovan was the only De-
troit player who distinguished himself
at the bat today. and Bill landed on the
sphere for two-bagger. Donovan
covered first sack and had nine put-outs
to his credit He furnished the amuse-
ment for the crowd by his coaching and
friendly argument with Herman Schaefer
of the Washington team.
In fact. Germany at second. Burke OF
Indianapolis at third and wild Biz
Donovan Of Detroit on first were trio
of comedians who furnished plenty of
fun for the spectators
That's bird" yelled Germany as
Walter Johnson lifted the sphere into the
clouds Cor home run.
NO, that's a eagle yelled Donovan.
Later Schaefer knocked the ball against
the center field fence and batted the gate
open. and the crowd went wild. Clyde
Milan batted pretty one to Mcbride at
third, but in his haste to beat it to first
he tumbled and rolled head over heels
as his opponents jeered and his team
mates shouted sympathy. There was
more solid fun than at a scrub game in a
back lot. In the last half of the ninth
McQuillan made run and as there was
no one down the game looked good for a
tie and there was more excitement than at
a worlds championship game. But Otey
would not be generous and the game
ended with shattered hopes for the
