MACK. DENIES He
SOUGHT JOHNSON
Athletics Manager Has Made No Attempt TO Get Twrer
In Trade-Other First Division Teams Watch
...>~ 49, , ing-Critics View.

PHILADELPHIA, April 10.-Connie
Mack, manager of the Philadelphia
Athletics. today denied that he had
made an offer for Walter johnson, the
Washington holdout.
II have made no attempt to get John
son." said Connie, NOR will !. in the
future. 1t has never been my policy to
attempt to further weaken second d.
vision clubs. 1t is my opinion that
Washington will never let Johonson go.
Mack would not discuss the johnson
case any further.
One Of the Philadelphia critics In
sizing up the situation today says:
No~such delieaey ef the season as
Walter Johnson will be permitted TO
be passed to any hungry American
League team because OF the salary TO"
he has with Washington.
johnson is to baseball what turkey
is to Europe. Philadelphia. Boston,
New York. Chicago, and Detroit, VINO
constitute the Five Great Powers Oh
the American League, would never
stand for JohEson leaving Washington.
The reason for this Is tnst Johnson
appearance with the Athletics, Boston,
New York. Chicago, or Detroit woulo
make the club getting him dominate the
American League for a number of years.
I, would smash the balance of power.

Philadelphia fans needn't fear that
Johnson will be passed to New YORK 50
that the Highlanders might nave pet
ter chance to beat the Athletics FOR tne
pennant As long as johnson IS the
marvellous figure in the sport he Is TO-
day. he will pitch for 10 other ciuo 'nan
Washington.
Won't Be Passed On.
There are numerous cases IN the
American League where star players
have been fed to a team that the league
presidents wanted braced. but no similar
methods will be used with johnson.
There is strong reason to believe that
the American League owners got To-
gether. over the telegraph wires IN the
last twenty-four hours and agreed TO
keep of OF Johnson.
Should one of the first division clubs
induce Washington to sell or trade
Johnson to them, 1t might mean war
But nothing of the kind Will be done:
The American League is too much of
a close corporation for that. and when
the owners agreed not to go into
the market for the phenomenal
platnsman one can rest assured that
they will keep their word
1t Is said that Johnson has laid his
hopes in getting what he wanted by
the thought that Washington. would
trade him in disgust to some rich
club, which would willingly pay him
$4,000 for three seasons work,
Washington knows this, and that Is
only another reason why he will never
be sold or traded.
Then again conditions are different
in Washington now. In past years
particularly in the. National League
regime, Washington sold all of Its
star players. This cost the club much
prestige, and the owners dropped big

money. The American League own
ers sought to win back the good
wishes of the fans by abandoning
the selling practice.
Must Protect Fans.
AS result, the Washington club
has built up a big clientele that it
must protect. 1t has also soaked
away $4,000 for a new stand, and
now more than ever must curry favor
with their patrons.
Should they sell johnson to another
ize ethey We're being conned again, and
would stay away from the park.
President Noyes and Manager Jimmy
McAleer anticipated the fans by making
the uneouivocal announcement that
johnson will never be sold or traded
He will either pilot his plow at Coffey-
willie. Kan, or pitch for Washington.
There is absolutely no truth in the
report circulated Saturday that Connie
Mack had made Washington an offer
for the speed king. Connie Mack posi-
lively denied the assertion yesterday.
Beyond Reason.
Johnson's demands are beyond reason.
He wants a second division club that
is not great money getter to pay
him 1880 this year, and raises in both
1872 and 1918 that would make his ag-
gregate salary for the next three years
reach the sum of $4,000. The club of
fers to give him $500 this year, OF
$500 annually IL he signs for three
years.
Neither pitcher nor club will recede
from it's position. and when McAleer
told Johnson that he must sign or ruit
the team, johnson never weakened and
took the first tram for home. The
pitcher has the privilege of cutting his
| own cloth, but he is very foolishly ad-
vised.
He simply tried to hold up the Wash
ington club and found that Jimmy Nc
Aleer was too old a hand in the game
to be bluffed In view of the recent fire
that destroyed the old stands and made
the expense of a new steel structure
necessary. Johnson used bad Judgment

That Johnson case.

From the talks l have had with the
different Nationals since their return
from Atlanta, find that the opinion ap-
pears to be unanimous among the play
ers that Walter johnson made de-
cided mistake when he went so far as to
leave the club when he had an alterna-
tive to sign at the biggest figure offered
an American League pitcher.
AS was pointed out in the Sunday
afternoon edition of The Times Johnson
instructed one of his companions to en-
gage quarters for him here which would
indicate that the big fellow will be here
before many moons.
Many of the most rabid fans in Wash
ington have told me they hate to see
johnson missing. but they think he car
ried the matter to extremes when he
wanted matters all his way or not at
all. The pitcher is planning to come on
shortly and when he reaches the Capital
and finds that the wisest business men
around town who are faithful rooters do
not agree with him in his demands the
light win dawn on him and he Will fall
In.
For johnson. personally. I have the
kindliest of feelings. His ability as
a player cannot be questioned, he 'is
a likable sort of a fellow to talk to,
up to the present contention has
shown remarkable business Instinct
in all his dealings with the ball club,
and is already preparing for his fu-
trre when his days as a player are
ended
All Of this convinces me that he
will see the error of his way, and
will be wearing a Washington uni
form before the ides of May.

Many feared the. District officials

which would be thorn in the side OF

taken the managers stood unanimous on
the matter of affiliating.
With every league in Washington un-

RIVALS.

The Fairies came some time ago
And brought their treasures rare,
To deck the glades and meads and
woods
That were so brown and bare.
They left unlocked their magic gates,
And threw away the keys;
Then golden cowslips all about
Were seen in meadow-leas.
The perfumes sweet the South Wind
blew
Were of the Fairies's dover;
They vanished all the ivy leaves
And painted every flower.
They whispered secrets to the birds,
Who~told them out in song;
But still the Dryad in the Oak
Lay wrapt in slumber long.
At last she woke. and gazed around
The Fairies's work to see;
And suddenly her heart was stirred
To weave some Witchery.
So she unfurled her leaves and shook
Them out in wondrous showers,
Which glinting with the sunlight
threw
A challenge to the flowers

A WONDERFUL
EXPERIENCE
With Newbro's Herpicide

, While Their are no thrills in the mar
ration of Mrs. P. T. Nichols, 623 Broad

used six or eight bottles and now have
a fine head of slightly curly light
brown hair. Not a gray hair in my
head. This is the more remarkable as
l am middle-aged."
While the results which follow the
use of Newbro's Herpicide are always
more or less astonishing. they are al
ways natural. Herpfcide destroys the
dandruff germ, stimulates the flow of
blood to the hair follicles and keeps
the scalp perfectly healthy. 1t makes
possible a natural and luxuriant
growth of hair, except in cases OF
chronic badness.
While remedies said to be every bit
as good" as Newbro's Herpicide are
frequently offered, one should insist
upon having the original germ de-
stroyer, Herpicide. That is genuine.
1t stops itching Of the scalp almost
instantly.
For sale at all drug stores. One
dollar size bottles are guaranteed. APP
plications may be obtained at good
barber shops. Send 10c. in postage for

THE VALUE OF
A KIND WORD,

Did you ever start out fresh in the
morning, rather at peace with yourself
and with the world, only to have the
whole day soured and curdled by an
unkind word from a thoughtless some
body?
And hasn't the sunshine just faded
away in the distance and hasn't your
May and June morning turned actually
bleak and grey?
If you are a sensitive person, and
most of us are, your whole being
stung with the blow, which left its
sure and certain impress upon the
days doing.
Once having suffered this sort of
thing, too, ought to make us very, very
careful of scattering indigo clouds
about promiscuously, when a kind
word, easily spoken, may mean a
veritable burst of sunshine in some
lonely, sodden heart.
The trouble with most Of US is that
we fail to let the sunshine out. We
bottle up what little there may be in
our nature under a heroic show Of re-

THINKING ABOUT.

Some day the marriageable age for
women will be advanced from twenty
to thirty, and the old maid line will
be changed from thirty to forty, writes
Edna Ferber. When that time comes
there will be surprisingly few divorces.
The husband of whom we dream at
twenty is not at all the type Of man
who attracts us at thirty. The man
l married at twenty was a brilliant,
morbid, handsome, abnormal creature
with magnificent eyes and very white
teeth and no particular appetite at
meal-time. The man whom 1 could
care for at thirty would be the norm
al, safe and substantial sort who would
come in at o'clock, kiss me once,
