No matter what the conditions 1t ap-
pears that Walter Johnson cannot
shake the hoodoo that has always pur-
sued him into St. Louis. II will be
recalled that in the early part Of last
season, when he was attracting the at
tention of the whole baseball sphere
through pitching successive scoreless
innings, Johnson had his record frac-
tured by the despised Browns. Yester-
day he was again almost helpless and
in the seventh inning in order to re-
lieve his champion of further work,
without reward. Griffith sent Bentley TO
the box. Once more the Shady Springs
youth pitched good ball. He held the
Browns tallyless during his time in the
middle of the diamond.
While he was not hit. Joe Engel was
HELPLESS in the matter of control yes
terday and-bv the time the fourth in
ming came around. the strain had be-
come SO. severe on Griffith that he
vanked Engel out AS II developed II
was a wise change. for from the time
Doc Ayers stepped Into the vortex
of the battle the Browns were so utter.
" stopped that they had to be cbnten-
ted with one hit. Ayers proverbial
control was right with him. and when
ever he would be threatened he would
buzz them in so hard that the Browns
were made TO look foolish by hitting
at balls that were past them or so far
from the plate that they could hardly
reach them with an oar.
Chick Gandil is in poor condition,
and if there were another man avail
able for first base. the chances are
that the regular would be given a
chance to recuperate. Gandn has. a
cold. that not onlv directly affects
his work on the field. but is so persis-
tent that he cannot obtain his proper

ed out a single that drove in run In
the first inning of Yesterdays pastim-
ing he had to signal to the umpires to
call for a short intermission while he
could relieve himself by an extended
coughing spell.
DESPITE the fact that nearly 1900
braved the atmosphere to see the
double-header. the heat yesterday was
again of such severity that the ordi
nary gray uniforms of the Griffmen
were changed through Derspiration to
a dark gray. The heat rot the Wash
ington manager early. and he spent
most of the afternoon on the bench in
stead of Drawing the suns ray on the
coaching lines.
In the second half of the double bill.
the Griffmen were beaten, for they had
the third of the Rickeys. They hoped
on Walter Johnson for a trio Of singles
and a sacrifice fly which Melted them
two runs, increased their lead by an
other rally through a triple and a sim
gle in the third and in the sixth their
parting shot to the great pitcher was a
run via two singles and a wild pitch.
/, The Nationals best chance for couple
of counts was in the fifth, when Wal
lace booted Williams hard grounder
and Moeller and Foster hit, but all
hands expired in their tracks, when
