Walter johnson will be pitched in the
game scheduled for Monday. Within a
few minutes after the team had ar
rived at the Jefferson last night there
were innumerable inquiries as to
whether Walter Johnson was here with
the squad. and when this was affirmed
it was matter of inquiry whether he
would pitch here. Griffith. Of course,
intends to work his star twirler here,
for he hopes to come somewhere near
to breaking even on his training trip
from the exhibition games this spring,
and he wants to get good start here.
The trip from Charlottesville was un-
eventful The players passed the time
the best they could under the circum-
stances. playing cards and reading.
The team is in good physical condition,
but needs a siege of hot weather be-
fore it will be anything like on edge.
1t may get better weather here than 1t
encountered at Charlottesville. but that
remains to be seen. Griffith. In fact,
does not expect to accomplish much
until he gets on his own grounds,
where the weather usually Is warmer
than down this way and where the
grounds and other accommodations are
of the best.
At Charlottesville yesterday morning
Booth Hopper gave an exhibition OF
what he can do with his knuckie baIl.

Rondeau did well for while. but when
Hopper got his ball to performing its
peculiar antics Rondeau was hit on the
chest with one of the knucklers.
This ball does peculiar sort of zig
zag on it's journey toward the plate,
and it is just as hard for the catcher
to receive 1t as 1t is for the batter to
hit it Players look with astonishment
on Hopper's pitching. Both Eddie Ci-
cote and Ed Sommers, the former De-
troit pitcher, are given credit for ow
ing their success to the knuckle ball.

them and also Hopper this spring insist
that the Nationals new pitcher has

High winds all the week kept many
anglers off the river, said, Will Rey-
noids. Dozens of fishermen who had
planned to try to catch perch this
week were prevented by the rough
water.
Very few persons have been on the
river near Analoston Island the past
week seeking catfish. Some fished from
the shore and old scows along the
wharyes, and were satisfied with
catching enough fish for a "mess."
Carl Garrison. son of the popular
deputy sheriff at Hyattsville, is having
sport on the Eastern branch above his

he saw the fish and by stunning them
he managed to get mullets and pike
enough for several "frys."
Since the ice has disappeared from
the branch the young Wa1tonite has
made successful catches with hook and
line. He thinks it's great sport to go
out early in the morning, make a catch
and have the fish for breakfast.
