FANS PLEASED AT
JOHNSON'S RETURN
Washington Bugs Will Not Now
Demand That He Be Traded,
is Belief

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-The
news that Walter Johnson had volun'
tarily returned to the Washington
club at the personal solicitation OF
Manager Clark Griffith, Saturday, was
received here with enthusiasm, and
the wave of resentment that swept
the city when the great pitcher Jump
ed to the Feds is passing. Club ON
Gals have no doubt but that the con
tract that Walter signed Saturday
will stick, and the threats OF Presi
dent Gilmore to make trouble in the
courts are not taken seriously.
When Johnson jumped, II was con
ceded that IL the courts returned him
TO Washington, he would have TO be
traded TO some other city because OF
the anger of the fans here, but the
voluntary return seems to have pleas
ed them, and II is predicted that by
spring he will have his old following
again back of him.

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-There is
one great beauty about boxing In Eng

heavyweight division All the donor
would have to do is to put up the belt,

does not involve the outlay OF mil
lion dollars. but TO find generous
