JOHNSON WILL ASK
S12,500 NEXT YEAR
Washington's Star Twirler
VIII Not Play Ball Unless
Demands Are Met.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 23-when WAL
ter Johnson signs contract for the sea-
son Of 1914 1t Will call for s12,50o. 1t is
understood from a most reliable source
that Johnson has fixed that figure In his
mind and that he will Insist on getting 1t
II he Is wanted by the Washington club.
It Is this amount that Ty Cobb is believed
TO be drawing from the Detroit team,
and Walter figures that he Is Just as val
liable an ascot to his team as Cobb is to
the Tigers.
This information was gained from a
very intimate friend Of the great pitcher,
who AYERS that. when the time comes to
sign Johnson will name the figure given,
and that he will not stand for any ne
gotiations calculated to reduce them. II
is to be s12.b00 or Johnson will not play.
That Johnson would expect substan-
tial increase in salary was. OF course, re-
allied by Manager Griffith at the outset
Of the season when Johnson started to
make records. The managers treatment
of the pitcher ever since has been care
fully planned.
Walter has been allowed to do much as
he pleases, has worked but seldom re-
Gently, and has not been asked to pitch
as often as he would like 10. If all this
consideration has been shown him for the
purpose OF making the task Of signing
him easy at a figure which the club In
tends to offer the scheme will fall fiat.
for 1t is understood that Johnson has
already decided upon what he figures

OF 100000 are not having the effect Of
making Walter think less of himself, for
IL there is one point that he is convinced
on II Is that he Is even more valuable to
team than Cobb. both in so far as
ability Is concerned and also when It
comes TO estimating how many dollars he
draws into the ball parks where he ap-
pears every season.
The Washington club without johnson
would have, Of course, been a joke aggre-

three-year contract.

quently.
Three punches to the Sailors one,
forsooth, but if he had dropped two of
the three and put some driving power
into tho remaining one he might have
removed the sailors disdainful smile
and piled up material credits that
would have stood him in need at the
Judging time.
Blows Without Force.
But no, there he stood sending home
clips and raps without drawing either
elbow back an inch to accentuate the
impact. Cunning little punches of that
kind might tell in an old-time black
ened glove contest, but nowadays, when
Queensberry tilt, boxer must not only
be able to hit, but hit hard.
When Petroskey smashed McAllister
sorely in the fifteenth round it looked
to me as though the tide had turned in
the Sailor S favor. Nor was there any
thing that happened between that and
the twentieth round to lead me to think
that McAllistor had regained the lead.
As matter of fact, I felt sorry for
the local lad, with his distorted mouth
and his deathly pale face, and while as
a general thing / do not allow my feel
ings to sway me when watching glove
contest, 1 was "pulling'' for Master
Bob to escape the distress and
ignominy Of being knocked out.
He escaped, and he earned the right
to share n draw decision. More than
that he did not achieve, and cannot
help but think that the opinion that
he got less than he deserved is more
the outcome of the club spirit more
than n careful disconnected review Of
what really happened.

BRENNAN is CALLED
THE SOUTHPAW MATTY

Addie Brennan, the left-hand pitcher
OF the Phillies. is styled the "Left-handed
Mathewson' by Charlie Doom and Pat
Moran, the pitching coach Of the Phillies.
EVERY time Brennan goes to the
mound" says Doom, che comes of the
hill with some new lesson learned, and
today he Is one OF the snartest pitchers
In the league. Why do I call him the
left-handed Matty? To begin with, he
Is the only left-hander in the National
league pitching the fade-away ball. It Is
said that Vean Gregg Of the Cleveland
Maps also pitches the fade-away. and II
such Is the case they are the only two
left-handers who have mastered the ball
that made Matty famous. Brennan,
though only a youngster, has absorbed
much baseball knowledge, and Is only
lust coming into his own"

Pitchers Performing Well.

Take his pitchers. Bender and Plank
have done. grand work this year. They
may not be as good next season, but
that is what the experts have been say
ing for years. Jack Coou,bs must be
reckored as an uncertainty, but looks
in better physical condition than he has
for several campaigns.
But Connie Is not counting on his
three veterans. He has already quietly
announced his plans, which are to use
Bush, Shawkey. Brown and HoucR regu-
larly in the box In 1914 and give his three
veterans fair amount OF rest and only
call upon them for relief work and in
emergencies
He asserts most emphatically that
Bush, Shawlseyi Houck and Brown form
the best quartette OF youngsters In the
country. and he counts on them being
better In 1914 than this year. when they
have shown ability to go along and Keep
tho Athletics In the race.
Then there is no telling Just what
prizes Mack will pick UP in the draft and
by purchase. He got Schang, Bush and
Shawkey this season, and the plums may
a gain fall into his basket.

Too Many Friends.

1t all comes Of having too many
friends. McAlister's cronies were
semi-hysterical about his promise Of
future greatness prior to the tussle, and
the fall-when he failed to win-was
all the greater. If ever man received
every iotn Of credit that was coming
to him McAllister did when Griffin di-
yided the honors between him and
Sailor Petroskey.
The trouble with McAllister is that
his blows are too light to imbue an
opponent with proper degree Of re-
spect. True. so far as speed and de-
livery were concerned he landed three
punches, maybe, to Petroskey's one,
but Of what use were they7
In latter-day boxing cleverness only
counts when it accomplishes something,
and the McAllister cleverness on that
particular occasion compares to gold
bearing rock that shows the color and

~ AN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-In the
ordinary course Of things the
I Sailor Petroskey-Bob McAllister
bout would have been dropped
as subject of discussion by this time.
1t was in no sense championship af-

about it, it earned no moro right to live

The claims of any unfair ruling on

likely to keep the contest alive as a
