Taft Opens Washington Season.

Tart Opens Washington Season.
Washington, Apri' 13.-Washington
won the opening game from Boston
by 8 to 8 in the presence of a crowd
~variously estimated from 1900 to
10000. 1t was the largest crowd that
ever saw a ball game In Washington.
The occasion was made memorable
not only because Of the number Of
fans, but because President Taft
threw out the first ball to Pitcher
Dolly Gray and thereby formally
opened Washington's new baseball
plant al well as the season. The
stands are only roughly completed
how, and the second story is to be
added to the iron and cement grand
stand. but the accommodations are
already nearly twice those of the for
mer affair. which burned three weeks
ago.
1t was fitting that q thrilling contest
should mark the event, and the game
was q thriller, so much 80 that Presi-
dent Taft could not sit still when
| Washington oyercame a lead OF three
runs In the sixth inning and placed
itself two to the good. Wood and
Gray started on the slab. The first
lasted Ave and one-third innings and
the latter six innings. Boston lost the
game largely because of fielding that
was poor In Judgment and execution.
K1einow's thumb was split and knock
Cd out Of place in the frst inning. and
he had to retire. Umpire Mullin, an
American league recruit from the
Western league, made bis nrst appear
ance In fast company and got by
without a kick being made OF his deci-
sions, several Of which were hair line.

Washington's Crack Pitcher VIII Get
$1,000 a Year.

Washington, April 13.-Walter John
Son, considered by many the greatest
baseball pitcher In the world. has sign
ed a contract with Washington for
three years at $1,000 per year. John
son trained faithfully with the squad
at Atlanta this spring and is In per-
feet condition. He will make his first
appearance against Boston Saturday.
He held out for 1880, but the club
told him he would have to accept
$4,000 or get out of the game.
The firm attitude of the club was
due to the fact that Johnson had
openly stated that he wanted $500
this year, $4,000 next year and $4,000
the year after. His signing for such
a long period at $1,000 was a great
surprise to local fans.
