mates agree to have been his best
form or the year up to date. His
curve ball was as sharp as razor
and, while he was far from having
his old-time speed. he had plenty.
Johnson's appearance In the box
was OF particular interest TO all con-
cerned. II was really in the nature
Of try-out, as the seven-thousand-
dollar beauty has been sick all season
and has been looking so bad that
there have been some who believed
him afflicted with some organic
trouble. Manager McAleer went up
into the stand back OF the plate to
take stock OF Johnson's offerings and
all the Nationals iguratively held
their breath TO see what Walter
had"
The result was reassuring and Nc
Aleer predicted at the close OF the
game that there would be no more
difficulty over Walter Johnson, unless
new complications arise. He held the
Tigers to two runs and one OF these
had an error behind II. Crawford
and Cobb were about the only Tigers
to do anything with his delivery.
They hit together but once, however,
and this time there was one out and
! Cobb was doubled at the plate, try
ing to score on Delahanty's infield
out The lower portion OF the batting
order couldn't help the sluggers In
the least, while Bush never got the
ball past out of reach of the catcher.

tinues to put back weight, ought 10
