Every man is suffering from a cold,

Walter Johnson's opinions regarding

at 1t. But IT was hot one, charging
the great pitcher with having an in

McAleer today. Between colds in their

Dixie Walker warmed up yesterday

is thoroughly frightened lest he be

says he. ''Tll be right then, and I'll

ConwaY's Long Ride.

Charlie Conway, the husky outfielder
with the Nationals, will never forget
his first day in New York. Yes, he got
lost. Worse than that, it took him an
hour or so to find that he was lost.
Conway went out for a stroll, and.
getting tired, decided to take a
subway train back to the hotel. He got
downstairs all right and got into a
train. When he got out he found him
self near Central Park. So he marched
into another train going the other way.
and woke up at the Battery. Here he
asked some questions Of a guard. and
found that he had to go half way back.
He did.
The next time he got out he was near
Central Park again, and he decided to
try surface car. When he got out
of this he wag down on the Bowery,
and still headed toward the ocean. So
he walked a bit and landed back on
the East side. When he found that he
really was lost, he asked a policeman,
got some directions and began riding
again.
Once more he gazed upon Centrdl
Park. Down into the subway he went
and alighted at the City Hall station.
Back and forth he rode, now in locals
and now in express trains, until IL
thought he had gone far enough. AS
a last chance he took car on Broad

Streets Wise Scheme.

You know. Fred" said Gabby Street
TO Fred Sherry, this ball park of the
Highlanders Is hard to find. I've known
players to get lost trying to find 1t.
why. one day when Falkenberg was
scheduled to pitch here, he got to the
park when we were playing the seventh
Inning, and had hard time explaining
to Joe Cantillon that he had gone to
the Bronx in his search for the park.
So don't get lost going out there"
"Tll go out with you," replied the
innocent Sherry. .a .s.
"All right. I know which car to take
In the subway. All you have to do is
pay the fares out each day, and I'll
take care of YOU"
And Sherry is paying Streets fare to
the park each day to keep from getting
lost.
