JOHNSON SLATED
TO FACE YANKEES
IN TO-DAY'S GAME
McAleertO Send Otey Against
Athletics Oh Tuesday.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
New York, April 23.-Jimmy McAleer
and his crew put in a quiet time to-day.
Fifth avenue got a strong play In the
afternoon, the diamond warriors taking
in the society parade and looking over
the mansions along millionaire row.
Walter johnson has been nominated to
work against the Yankees tomorrow in
stead of Dolly Gray. Manager Hal
Chase, of the home team, says that Ray
Fisher, who is also possessed OF a speed
ball, will decorate the mound with his
presence for the New Workers. Looks
like another pitchers battle.
Otey has been picked by McAleer to
twirl the opening game against Connie
Mack's Athletics in Philadelphia Tues
day.
McAleer was highly impressed with the
showing the young southpaw displayed
against the Yankees in Washington after
he succeeded Dixie Walker. and looks for
him TO pitch some high-class ball.
The only thing otey ever lacked was
control" said McAleer to-day, and now
that he has overcome this fault, l expect
him TO be one Of the best portside
son. He liz beginning to field his posi-
ton much better. too
Kid Elberfeld injured his right hand In
tagging out Harry Wolter in Fridays
game, when the New York outfielder was
trying to pilfer third base. but the demon
third sacker will be all right in time for
to-morrow's game.
Ed Sweeney. the Yankees giant back
stop, IS going to give Charley Street q
fight for honors. Gabby caught a ball
chucked from the top of the Washing
ton Monument, a distance of about $50
feet Sweeney is planning to spear a
horsehide thrown from the top of the
Metropolitan Building in this city. the
highest in the world-65S feet. He will
probably make the attempt when the
New Workers return from their first
Western trip, the latter part of next
month.

BUR MAN BREAKS
MILE RECORD AGAIN
New KilOmeterand TwO-mile
Marks Made by Pilot Bob.

Daytona. Fla. April 23.-Trailing his
own records of Daytona, Bob Burman. on
his twenty-seventh birthday anniversary
to-day, reached the zenith speed when he
drove a 200-horsepower "Blitzen" Ben
a mile in 25.4O. making the fifth time in
the two days racing that he has broken
the mile record. The mile record was
not alone Burman's prey, but the kilo-
meter was again shattered, and the two
mile record of Oldfield, of 55.S. wiped
into oblivion. Burman's time for the two
miles was 61.2s. and for the kilometer
1888 seconds.
The first trial reduced the mile record
to 25.91 seconds, after which the speed
king started out to lower yesterday S
kilometer mark. This he brought down
to 1883. The two-mile record was his
next ambition, and at the conclusion the
timing device registered Sis Burman
contended that he could clip more off
the mile, and went out for a final trial.
resulting in negotiating the distance in
25 ~ seconds.
The beach was in much better condi-
ton than yesterday. although 1t was far
from perfect. The wind favored the
plucky driver slightly.

started for the first trial. for this is
my birthday"

NEWS PLEASES ATHLETES.
Cathedral School Field VIII Hay
Good Eject on Snort.

When the athletic field which has been
planned for the National Cathedral
School for Boys is completed, It is sure
to be the scene of many more athletic
competitions than have formerly been
held at the grounds which are now used.
The decision of the trustees to expend
the sum of 100000 for the building of the
field will tend to increase interest in sport
at the school. and thereby benefit a great
er portion of the students who formerly
did not enter athletics.
The ground which has been purchased
was the property of Senator Nixon. The
athletic field which will be made will out
class the best owned by any school in
this vicinity.
Enclosed in the quarter-mile cinder track
will be the baseball and football field A
clubhouse will be erected. containing all
conveniences for teams from out OF town.
Work will be started on the plot in good
time, so that the football season will not
have arrived before its completion.

By WILLIAM PEET.

When Tim Murnane, the veteran ball
player. now making a living by writing
pieces for the Boston Globe was in WASH
ington recently. with the Boston Red sox.
he pulled a significant remark anent
Clyde Milan.
Every time I see that youngster he
reminds me more and more of Jim Nc
Aleer when Jim was in his prime and re-
garded as the greatest outfielder in the
world" said Murnane, and he added:
''Milan's every action-the manner in
which he goes after balls hit over his
head. the way he backs up second
every move he makes recalls McAleer as
1 remember him.
Milan is a better fielder this year than
ever before in his life and there is a
reason.
The Nationals had been in' Atlanta
scarcely a week this spring when one
morning Manager Jim sauntered to the
outffeld, taking his station near Milan,
who was catching flies in turn with the
other men.
For fifteen minutes McAleer coached the
youngster, explaining this point and that,
telling him how he handled difficult
chances when he was in the game, in fact,
giving the youngster the benefit Of his
long experience. which advice Milan was
quick to grasp ana follow out.
Three or four times a week McAleer
spent a portion of the practice period
with Milan, illustrating himself some OF
the points he wanted to bring out.
The fruits of Manager Jim's labors are
now being shown in the form displayed
by the speedy little outfelder.
Is it any wonder that Tim Murnane
sees the resemblance between Milan and
McAleer?
Doc Meyers brief stay with the Ma
tionals this spring has evidently taught
him expensive habits. A report from
Youngstown, Ohio. to which ball club
Meyer was turned back. states that the
pitcher is a hold-out and refuses TO sign.
Here's the dispatch:
pitcher Doc Meyer may spend the
summer on his farm in Andover and
may pitch for the Andover Blues. The
reason is that Doc Is a hold-out, and
unless he signs the contract rendered him
by Manager Phillips at the salary Of
fered, Doc will not play league ball this
season. Meyer came down from And
over to consult the local club about
terms. Manager Phillips inserted a sub
stantial increase over the figure Doc drew
last year while with the Steelmen, but
It was not large enough TO tempt Doc to
affiX his name to the paper Manager
Bill says the terms are the best that he
can give, and Doc says they are not to
his liking, so there's the situation
Dixie Walker, the Nationals eccentric
twirler is walking in the straight and
narrow path these days. Last Friday

His page is easily the best in the South,

Every time Akers finds time heavy
on his hands, he invents a new curve
for the benefit of the Atlanta baseball
| bugs. Here is his latest: The official
| curve for to-day is known as the 'Wog-
gle-Whiffer.' 1t is delivered by the
pitcher without the aid of any OF the
| other players. The slabman projects the
ball toward the batter with his right
great toe and his left index finger. The
| ball floats toward the batter slowly, like
| a toy balloon, and when just out of strik-
! ing distance, oscillates rapidly from side
| to side. until the batter loses track OF
1t. Then It 'whiffs' across the plate and
nestles coyly in the catcher's glove, which
| he holds there for that purpose. It's a
good curve, and goes TO church every
Sunday when the team is at home"

Big hands help make Hans Wagner a

For years-ever since the days when
Tom Corcoran began to decline. there
have been two questions bothering the
Cincinnati manager-shortstop position
and pitchers. But Clarke Griffith believes
that the shortstop problem is solved.
He thinks the inf1eld gap has been filled
TO a nicely by Davy Altizer. This season
still is young, but to Griffith Altizer
looks like the man for the place. "Altizer
played consistent ball all the way
