ing to the Pacific coast fans. Copies
OF the paper have just arrived here
and are being passed around by some
of the more fortunate OF Joes friends

Joe's latest accomplishment in the
baseball armament is the knocking out

breath, but facts are facts. and on
what has been accomplished and on
what the future promises on form there
is no denying that, barring Boston,

Nationals.
1T is argued, and not without rea-
son, that a team which has pennant
aspirations must have a strong pitch
ing staff. Compare the Nationals
corps with that of any other team, and
it is hard to figure where Washing
ton has any the worst of it. Johnson
undoubtedly compares favorably with
the star pitcher of any one of the
other teams. On what he has shown
there is no choice between Groom and
the second best man on any of the
rival aggregations. The pitching rec,
