The signed contract Of Carl Cashion
reached baseball headquarters today.
There Is no young member Of the
Washington pitching stan on whom
Griffith Is depending more than CASH

upon some time ago. the fact that the
official document ID in his office, gave
the manager considerable reason to be
happy today.

Since the announcement was made
that he was to come here as manager,
Griffith has been fairly swamped by

As Johnson was the most reliable
member of the Nationals corps last

not call upon him for relief purposes
more than was absolutely necessary
1t will be recalled that It required quite
a little time for Johnson to hit his

FURTHER TESTIMONY
OF FIGHTING SHIPS

New York June 25.-Further testimony
regarding fighting ships" which steam
ship officials in the so-called shipping
pool" are alleged to have used to stifle
competition was given today by c. IL.
Nyland. passenger agent of the Holland
American Steamship company, who was a
witness in the governments suit to dis
solve the alleged steamship trust
The Fighting ships" he said, were di-
rected against the Russian, East Asiatic
and Northwest Transportation company
and the Uranium line, all independent
of the defendant lines accused of be-
ing members of the pool"
The witness gave as a reason for the
oper alton of these lighting ships" that
sometimes Independent lines advertised
certain rate and then reduced this rate
in an effort to take business from lines
charged with being in the pool. Thus,
said Mr. Nyland. the fighting ships
were brought into existence so that these
unexpected reductions by Independent
companies might be met. This fighting
ship" policy was discontinued in 1910, he
said.
