may be in line for some real disappoint-

tied now that Johnson will not be allow
ed to take part in any of these easy
money limited round affairs on which
he has been figuring, and it is by no
means certain that he can pull off his
scrap with Jim Flynn out in Nevada, So
that his native land does not offer him
any very glowing opportunities and the
chances are he will have to hike else

Of Johnson by the New York boxing
commission will prove hard blow to
the champion. There were no end of
chances to get lot OF money there by
meeting several OF the hopeful class in
limited round bouts, but the latest rulin j..
eliminates these opportunities.
That the ruling was for the best of the
sport in New York goes without saying.
Just as soon as the champion is adver-

element which opposes this spor get

effect. but expressed the wish that 1t
would not he necessary to send him
anywhere after he once joins the team.
Mike Kahoe. like all other scouts, is
the recipient of many tips on ball play
ers Nearly every day he gets a letter or
two telling him where there is player
the Nationals ought to have. Most OF
these tips are the result OF an inspection
of the batting averages Of some OF the
minor leagues. and II these were to be
of freaks on his list. The other day
Mike got a. tip on player named lily
Ladd who plays with a small team in
the east and who incidentally bats around
the 800 mark every season. But Mike
has been In base ball long enough to re-
member Laid. who he says is not bit
less than fifty-four years old, gray man
who finds it difficult to walk. let alone
rum but has never lost the knack of hit
ting the ball. Ladd was playing bali in
the early eighties. yet he was tipped off
to Kalloe as a. youngster who was 4 Won
derful hitter.
Griffith has not definitely decided wheth-
err he will send one of his catchers south
with the squad Of young pitchers who are
to start for Charlottesville on March 4.
Griff Is of the opinion that these pitchers
ought to do nothing but run and toss
for the first week or SO, and that II he
carries a catcher along there would be
temptation for them to let out their arms
before they are ready to stand the strain.
So the chances are that the catchers will
be kept away until the entire team reports
on March II, from which time out the
young pitchers at least should be in good
enough shape to let their arms out.
Clarence Walker, the popular outiielder
of the Nationals. Is the latest member OF
the team to sign. His contract reached
Manager Griffith this morning, together
with a letter In which Walker tells how

ANNUAL PLAY DAY AT EAST LAKE

More will be heard within the next few days in. regard to the annual play day which Is to be introduced Saturday, June l, at East Lake. It is expected that this will be the day of days this summer-a fine old fashioned time when everyone, of every station, high and low. rich and poor, shall meet together lay aside all dignity and take part in general merry making. East Lake has been chosen as the place for this big affair, and the cause--there is always a cause-is free Kindergarten and settlement work. Schools will have closed, giving the children fine opportunity for enjoyment of the day, and already the grownups have felt the call of the out of doors, responding to any appeal that may be answered by ones presence in the open.
 This play day will be a big day; 1t Is for a big. beautiful movement, and 1t is forwarded by big. splendid organization of women, the Free Kindergarten associa- tion, which includes some of the most in- fiuential women in Birmingham. Inci- dental to scores of other plans that are being carefully thought out, the barbecue which is to be served at noon time will be in the hands of Mrs. Charles G.. Brown, whose generosity. as everyone knows, is equal to her skill.
