actually come to Harry Thaw tonight
Though his counsel obtained a writ of

Judge Aldrich at Concord, the writ was
not served on Sheriff Drew to-day. and

rich at Littleton. when arguments on the
writ will be heard,
Thaw spent quiet Sunday his fifth
away from Matteawan. He expressed a
desire to attend church but the sheriff
thought 1t best not to parade him.
The corridors of the Manadnock House,
where Thaw Is held were crowded with
country folks throughout the day. But
only those who were willing to pay for a
meal and see Thaw at table had their
curiosity satisfied
Unless jerome has some powder con-
cealed somewhere. Thaw will be taken
TO Littleton on train leaving here early
Tuesday morning.
The habeas corpus argument is set for
eleven o'clock that morning. The Thaw
lawyers will ask for continuance, thus
leaving the writ hanging over the heads
or their opponents. and then proceedings

WALTER JOHNSON
 PITCHING WONDER
WASHINGTON STAR WENT FROM IDAHO TO BIG LEAGUE AND
 MADE GOOD.

(Copyright 1913-Maclean Kennedy)
 It may be said of Walter Johnson, star hur1er of the Washington Club in the American League and, it might be added, of the baseball world, that he, like Abou Ben Adhem, leads all the rest" Of the younger generation of hurlers this can be said without fear of contradiction.
 As the seasons roll by Walter John son is building up a record that is gradually creeping up with the great ones made in baseball. If nothing goes amiss with this pitching marvel he will, no doubt, eclipse all pitching feats and records ever made in the annals of basebaln.
 Marty O'TooIe, Vene Gregg and Richard de Marquis broke into the 'Fbig show heralded by haring press notices and the blaring of many trum- pets. They graduated from the min ors with phenomenal records, and were credited with marvellous pitching feats that sounded like tales from the Arabian Nights"
 But out of the Far West came a lad with a brilliant but abbreviated anna teur record. He slipped into the big league circuit without much notice. Right from the wilds of Idaho to the hub of Uncle Sam's domain came this stripIing, a call from the purely ann ateur ranks to the majors. In the midseason, with the sluggers of the American League going at topmost speed, was Sir Walter given his first test Twas Jennings band of sluggers from whom the ''Weiser wonder re- ceived his baptisInaI in select society.
 Catcher Blankenship, of the Wash ington club, during 1907 had been more or less of a bench warmer. Through injuries and other causes 'fB1anky'' had little or no chance 70 really earn his stipend. When re- TT1 away out in Idaho was pitching such in that section of the country had fail ed to put a score over in seven con secutiVe games Catcher BIankenship was pressed into service as scout and ordered to pack his grip and take the first train westward
 Scout ttBlanky'' didn't let the grass grow under his feet after his first g1imp pse of MT. Johnson. To get the name of the Western 'fphenom'' hitch ed to a contract just as quickly as possible was his chief desire. The young recruit had for two seasons tried to catch with different coast clubs. Manager Berry of the Taco ma club let him slip away without a fair trial; this was in 1906. John son caught on with amateur team representing Weiser, Idaho, for tn 8 balance of the season, winning nine games out of ten.
 In the early part of 1907, he ap- piled to the management of the Los Angeles club for a position on the team, but not even a trial was grant ed, so back to Weiser, Idaho, went the future great, and proceed to pitch such sensational ball-even if it were against amateurs or seni-pros- that it attracted widespread attention. It was the direct cause of c. D. Blankenshfp speeding to the stamping

ground and the scene of w. John sons wonderful exploits, to sign the chap that had won thirteen out of fifteen games, where his opponents only secured twenty-five hits in all, and 21o men had famed, an average of fourteen a game.
 The first thought that flashed through Relationships mind was, how any baseball manager with eyes and judgment who had a chance to size up Johnson personally, even in the rough could have passed him up. So Scout
 'B1anky got busy and arranged ev- erything for the journey eastward.
 On August 2, 1907, Walter Johnson got into maor league baseball. "'Da- vy'' J. has the honor of being the first big 1eaguer to feel the zephyrs caused by his ball. Walter didn't win that game, however. He was replaced by Hughes in the ninth, with the score 2 to 2; the Senators lost out by 3 to ?. But the big boy from the west pitched a great game, allowing only six hits.
