By SENATOR.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, March 10.
I-Walter Johnson II ready. The ircom-
parable finger worked I'VE innings
against the Pfmientas yesterday and
showed excellent form for this time OF
the year. He used nothing but speed.

breathing fast when he finished his
five-inning workout. He win engage In
the daily battles btween the Regulars
and the Pimientas from now on IN or
der to be ready to face the Cincinnati
Reds In Cincinnati on the 3oth.
Tomasso Hughes opposed the Kansas
whiriwind and he was . most doughty
fee. Hughes allowed six scattere15b bin
gies for q lone tally and walloped the
pellet for three corners himself, just to
keep his hand in. The veteran used
nothing but change Of pace and had
fine control.
Milan led all the hitters with three
blows. one being good for two bags
'.Rippy" squeesed in two safe rollers to
the infield. not at all the Kind Of wall
lops he generally gets.
Jacinto Cafvo and BIZ Morley swung
on the ball hard enough TO register hom-
ers for the Pimientas. besides getting .
single apiece. Joe Connolly coilided
with q double ana a single. Indeed. It
was q slugging bee all around. all the
twiriers but Hughes suffering severe
humiliation In at least one sesyion.
Bickers and Sullivan followed the vet
Grams to the hill and were badly bat
tered. Morley and Calvo got in their

, enough to indicate his Judgment that
the youngster is a good ball player.
Manager Griffith, John Henry, Al
Williams and Bob Groom make up the
major league of bridge whisters. with
Dutch" Schaefer trying his hardest to
break in. A Glass A circuit has been
formed now, consisting of George Nc
Bride. Jack Ryan, Eddie Foster and
Danny Moeller.
Rebel Williams and Cutie Morgan
make a great pair at the checker board.
Neither is very skilled In the game and
| they overlook plays right under their
eyes, but they have lots of fun together.
Today Victor Munoz, the Havana
archon of baseball. leaves for Atlanta.
Ga, where he hopes to see Ganzales.
the Cuban backStop with the Boston
National League team, play ball. Mum
OF has enjoyed himself here with the
Climbers in every way and is sorry 10
leave. but duty calls and SO he hikes.
Munoz and Clark Griffith are close
friends ever since the Cuban recon-
mended Armando Marsans, who Is now
among the best outfielders in the Ma
tional League. He Is responsible for
the presence of Baldomero Acosta in
the camp of the Climbers here and the
"Old Fox" is credited with saying that
the lad bears every promise of develop
ing into a wonderful ball player in
year or two.
Tonasso Hughes, for fear of getting
an Irritating blister on his heel, has cut
large hole in his shoe. I'D rather
have hole in my shoe than have
Niuue Martin experiment Oh me with
any of that collection of department
store remedies he carries around with
him in that brown bag, remarks
Hughes.
They were kidding Mike Kahoe, prize
scout. on the soft job he has with the
Climbers, with nothing to do all winter
but watch the race returns and nothing
TO do ali summer but watch ball games
and ride on trains. That got Jack
Ryan, another scout. started and he re-
marked:
Yes. it's pretty soft. isn't it? Don't

I saw just four people on the streets

1t was so dead down there in that town.
And riding in trains that crawl--
That's good fol. your soul remark
cd Tomasso Hughes. that deadness.
II gives you Il chance to think over
Your evil life.
That closed .he discourse.
Jacinto Calvo was 4 bit worried the
first time he faced Walter Johnson in
yesterday mornings game, rolling a
slow one to MSBriIe for n death at
first, but the next time up he met one
on the mark and hammered it safely
to center. Milan never had a chance to
get under that drive and Ihe little
Cuban laughed, for he hadn't been
stinging the ball enough TO live up to
his reputation. His third trip to the
platter gave another short roller to
Mcbride and then Johnson left the
game before the Islander could get an
other time at bat.
He has much speed" grinTed Calvo.

VIENNA, March 1.-The stand here of the Austro Russian agreement to demobilize will affect only the Russian frontier and makes no provision with respect to Austria's south and eastern frontier Turkey. it is understood has taken steps at London to induce the powers to act collectively in demand = ing from the Servian government an explanation regarding the dispatch of additional troops by Servia to DuraZzo
 Growing irritation is displayed in of ficial and military circles here over Servias actions which are believed to have been encouraged by the appar- ently helplessness and dilatory pro- ceedure of the am mbaSadOrs in confer ence at London. It is well known that Servia has no real desire to see Monte negro become more powerful and her action in assisting in the attack or Scutari excites the suspicion of Vienna where an opinion is held that this was designed to strengthen the Servian pO- sition on the Adriatc.
 The organs of the military party are urging Austria to take vigorous steps to guard the threatened interests with out further regard to the selfish aims of the other powers. In the meantime it is declared that forces are assembled on the Servian frontier that will no be weakened in the slightest by thS dispersing Of the reservists.
