The Nationals were playing an exhibi-
tion game in Wichita, Kan, en- route
to Washington from Galveston. where
they had trained. 1t was Joe Canttl-
Ions first year with the Nationals, and
during the game in question he noticed
Milan, who was playing one of the
outfield positions. He was impressed
with his speed and general ability, and
there and then obtained an option on
his release to go into effect at the
close of the season of the Wichita
club, which was much before the big
leagues closed their gates. Milan re-
ported and, if memory serves right,
broke into the game at Cleveland. He
made good from the outset. and is to-
day considered one of the star out
fieiders of the American League, class
ing right up with Speaker and Cobb.
There have been many stories printed
about how Walter Johnson became a
member of the Washington team. One
of these is that Cliff Blankenship dis
covered him out at Weiser, Idaho. and
another is TO the effect that a friend
OF Cantillon's kept writing him about
.Johnson's wonderful work and that he
finally instructed Blanllenship. who had
been injured, to get on a train and go
to Weiser aud bring Johnson to Wash

Ar THE MAJESTIC TOMORROW.

Among the many striking effects
introduced in "Tho Love Route at
the Majestic Theatre tomorrow is the
actual construction Of a railroad, from
the first spade dug in the ground TO
tho laying OF the last tie, and the
final running of the mammoth engine
over the newly-laid line. a distinct
rovelty in motion pictures. The main
characters in the play arc a railroad
civil engineer and young woman,
the owner of the ranch through which
the new railroad is to pass, which she
tries to prevent even az the points
OF the revolvers OF her cowboys. These
two characters, when they meet. bring
forth q clash of will under circum~
stances rarely seen on the screen. The
fact that they had previously loved
onch other dearly adds to the interest
Of the plot To the very end she
fights. and ultimately triumphs, but
she eventually awakens TO the great
ness of her love for the engineer after
be Ia shot by one OF her men, and
is herself responsible for the COM
pletion of the line within the required
time limit granted the railroad com
pany.
The careful selected cast includes
Harold Lockwood, Winifred Kingston
and Donald Crisp.
