If Jim Shaw, the young pitcher who re-
Gently joined the Nationals. comes up to
being expressed by Manager
Griffith and the players OF the local team,
Walter johnson will have q real running
mate next season. According to those
who have watched Shaw IN his work outs,
he has more ability than any pitcher who
has broken into fast company since the
days when Johnson made his debut, and
Shaw even has an advantage over him
in that he has had more experience than
johnson had when he arrived here.
So good is the impression which Shaw
has made with his team mates and his
manager that some really wonderful things
are to be expected OF him. Every one Of
the catchers who has handled his de-
livery is willing to wager his season.

highest type next season. just what tho
effect of having Shaw show the form
which is expected Of him will have on
the Nationals is easily realized. To have

pretty near assuring q pennant. even It
the offensive strength OF the team should
not be materially strengthened.
The very fact that Griffith considered
Shaw the best young pitcher that he ever
saw break into fast company would In
dictate that there is q lot Of class to the
Pittsburgh youngster.
If the Chalmers trophy commission de-
cides that Walter Johnson is the most
valuable player in the league, it will
merely be sounding the opinion of base
ball men and the public in general. The
fact that pitcher does not participate In
as many games as one OF the nelders
should not bar him from considera ton
for the honor, for there is no getting
away from the fact that a pitcher Of
the johnson type can do more to bring
about victories than q Cobb. Speaker OF

San Francisco, May 5.-A cablegram

a Japanese daily paper of this city,
states that the Japanese government
has cabled instructions to Baron
Chinka, Japanese Ambassador at
Washington, to make formal protest
against the alien land bill enacted by
the California Legislature and now
awaiting Governor Johnson's sigma.
ture. The message adds that the posi-.
tion taken by the Japanese govern
ment is that the United States govern
ment is responsible for the finding OF
a satisfactory solution OF the situation
in California under its treaty obliga-
tions to Japan.
Describing the receipt Of the news
from Sacramento that the bill had
passed both Houses OF the Legislature,
the message says: when the Jap
anese people received the report that
the. alien land bill had passed the Cali.
fornia Legislature all the people were
deeply disappointed.
