LACKS FORMER STUFF
BY Mark Shields
Twelve thousand fans went out to
COmiskey park yesterday to see a
pitching duel between Ed Walsh
and Walter Johnson. What they saw
was a funeral, the humiliation of the
best pitcher the White SOx ever
owned, as good a man and as game
a sportsman as ever picked up a
glove in the American league.
johnson didn't pitch. Manager
Griffith said his star hadn't slept for
two nights because of the noise of
railroad trains outside the hotel at
which the team is stopping. Harper
went in for the Nationals and al
lowed the Sox three hits, Terry get
ting two and driving in both Hose
runs.
Probably half the crowd was drawn
to the park by the billing of the So
called duel" This half would have
come just to see Walsh try his come
back, even if Johnson had not been
advertised. Washington is being
blamed for the "stung" feeling the
fans had after the game, but there
never should have been reason for
this feeling.
Walsh should not have started,
even against a-team which is in such
a batting slump as Washington. It
was apparent to those in the stands
that he didn't have any of the stuff
that made him the king of bOxmen,
and surely this fact must have been
known to the expert baseball people
charged with direction of the Sox.
How much faith Manager Rowland
had in Walsh was shown in the first
inning, when Reb Russell started to
warm up as soon as the game start
ed. He didn't expect the Moose to
last, it seemed, and wanted to save

most historic and beautiful in the

ture has painted a picture that is not
soon forgotten, 1t is restful.
Tradition says that nearly three
centuries ago Capt John Smith and
his adventurous companions In a
small boat came up the Potomac to its
navigable length. and Capt Smith, in
his story rof the trip. speaks of the
wonderful beauty of the stream and
of it's being full of fish of all kinds.
The fish were so plentiful that the men
in the boats would strike them with
the oars in rowing and could pick
them up as they swan past the boats.

the big steamer st. Johns. one of the
handsomest steamboats, in excursion
service in the South, offers a most
pleasant way to view the Potomac by
daylight.
Until June 2s the st. Johns makes
trips to Colonial Beach Saturday at
a:30 p m. and Sunday at 9 a. m. but
after that date the daily. except Mon

ington consumes only one hour via the
Chesapeake Beach Railway; and Balti-

The ride from Washington is through
beautiful woodlands and rolling hills,
and is one continuous panoramic view.
The trains are entirely screened for the
exclusion of dirt and cinders, which is
quite unheard of except on Pullman cars.
The steamer Dreamland from Bslti-

among them being old Fort McHenry,
