1t is more than likely that Walter
Johnson will be given his final workout
for the opening game against the New
York Giants next Monday, when he will
probably be sent for FIVE innings. Two
days rest following this game should put
Walter on edge for the first struggle
against Frank Chances team.
Williams and Gedeon made their first
appearance in "a game on the local
grounds yesterday. Williams took Fog
ter's place at third, while Gedeon went
to second in Morgan's place. This is a
rangy pair of youngsters and both should
show a lot of Improvement from time to
time. even though they do not stand
much of a chance of ,breaking into the
regular lineup.
A more unique game of ball than that

the game. During the closing innings Of
the battle with Alexandria Schaefer and
Altrock took charge of matters, and from
that time the several hundred fans
had occasion to- go into commissions with
laughter.
Schaefer relieved Altrock on the slab,
apd just to show the confidence he has in
his own ability as a twirler he brought
his Outfielders into the infield,, and yet
was not scored on during the several in
nings that he performed. At one time all
the in and outfielders stood in the center
of the diamond and wound up. with
Schaefer. The visitors, of course were
baff1ed. and while two Of them managed
to get score. Early in the game Cash
ion appeared on the rubber. He did not
extend himself. but displayed good con-
troll, and, of course. was not hit by the
visitors. The Alexandria team had some
very good material omit. though OF course
it was outclassed by the Nationals.
The deal for Allen Sheer has been conf
-pleted and he win join the Providence
team within few days. Sheer should
be of great help to. that team. for he Is
much improved ball player this spring
over what he was a year ago. The
change from the inf1eld to the outfleld
has made him a much more valuable
man.
Morley, the young shortstop secured
from Knoxville, will very likely become a
member Of the Hartford, Conn.,, team.
Griffith expects to close deal with that
club some time today.
The Catholic University team which
plays the Nationals this afternoon is I'M
doubtedly one of the strongest college
teams in this section and the Nationals
will not have as easy time with 1t as
