that there is danger of the great pitcher
being put out of the business.
i There is. of course, no foundation for
any such rot. Johnson has pitched four
games so far this season. He pitched
the opening game in New York. one in
Boston and two here against the
Yankees. He had three days rest be
tween the New York games here. He
pitched four games in twelve days. which
would not be a strain on a pitcher of
less vitality and a less natural motion.

Griffith has been careful about 1t has
been not to overwork Johnson 1t Is
recalled that a couple of years ago
when Walter was forced to go fifteen
innings to beat the Red Sox. Griffith
gave him a ten-day lay-off on the
road. Griffith probably stood in his
own light by protecting Johnson. who
could have worked earlier than he was
asked to. and won couple OF games
more.
But Griffith always has contended
that he would not pitch Walter out

and it necessary to use his star TO
make the victory possible.
Bert Gallia is slated to pitch the
game today against the Athletics. Bert
is apt to have hard job on his hands.

who sometimes pitches good ball.

GOLF GOSPEL TRUTHS.
The Folly of Forcing the Clubs
for the Limit.
BY STRAIGHT DRIVE.

Accuracy through the green is only
possible when a club has something
in reserve. To force an iron, when a
three-quarter cleek or driving iron
shot would have yielded surer direc-
ton. is unwise, however easier it may
be for a player to get the ball away
with the laid-back club. In the same
way it is better to play up to the
green with a half or three quarter
iron shot than to swing with full force
with mashie.
The temptation to force a club is
met with on every round and the only
way to overcome it is to make ac-
curacy the motto to guide every stroke.
II you are compelled to play up to
the full power of the iron 1t means a
loss of control in direction ficked-
up shot may always be placed, but
a slugged shot is al the mercy of the
fates, for such balls generally fly high
and are risked on the for general re-
suits rule.
The ball should always be address,
ed with the arms close to the BODY
and in a cramped pose rather than
with the arms fully extended and the
body held loosely The stance must
be easy and an open one. with the ball
nearer the right foot than the lett.
Address with the toe of the iron and
with the blade of the club turned out.
except it is a shot planned for low
trajectory and long run, when the
blade may be held forward. Do not
grip on the top of the leather: to get
a proper balance a couple of inches Of
the shaft should protrude.
IT is imperative to get well under
the ball, which means to take turf,
and always to play straight for the
pin A deliberate slice or pull may
do for the champions. but to the or
dinsry golfer the best rule as to d.
rection is the geometrical definition
IF n straight line as the shortest pos
sble distance between two given
points.
Always have something in reserve
as to the force that you put into the
stroke: form your plan as TO where
you shall pitch and where you hope
the roll viii land the bal. This may
only be done by taking club that
requires playing" To spare an IRON
shot by shortening the swing is ei-
ways possible, for it is dlnerent
proposition from sparing a shot with
wood by changing the timing Ihere
is more certainty of getting nome
from a shot under control through the
green than by full swing that FORCES
a club too much.

measure: He developed into one of the
best ball players and hitters in the
history of the game
Hans Wagner had similar ex-
perfence. He was turned down by
many scouts who went to see him play
because they all reported that he was
loo awkward. but when he had been
with the Louisville club for a few
weeks he demonstrated that he was a
fast man, and soon developed into one
or the greatest ball players that ever
l1Ved 1t is questionable whether the
great Cobb, now the wonder of the
game. will be able to equal Wagner's
long record. despite the fact that Wag-
ner has been continually PLAYING the
1nf1eld, which is naturally much harder
than the outfield.
The game has never seen Wagner's
equal, for the reason that though he is
forty-two years old now he is still a
major league star.
Lee F'ohl is making good showing
with the Cleveland Indians, who, by a
recent squirt, have managed to reach

Tomorrow Night.

From all indications the first annual
indoor games of the Sd Infantry, N. G.
D. c., Athletic Association, to be held
ing will be great success.

large proportions during the last few
days. Every organization in the Ma
tional Guard is represented and many
names of well known athletes appear
in the entry list. Judging from the
form displayed by the men, who are
made in every event.
One of the most spectacular events
of the evening will be the wall-scal-
ing contest. Company I will attempt
to lower it's record of twenty-six sec
onds for a twelve-foot wall, which was
made by it several months ago. The
company relay event should be well
contested, as nearly all the teams are
evenly matched. The equipment and
obstacle races will be laughmakers
from the start.
The athletic events will be handled
by officers of the guard and United
States Army, who have had much ex-
perience in these meets. The events
will start promptly at o'clock and will
be run off without delays.
The special attractions include a
wrestling match, in which Joe Grant,
Washington's favorite wrestler, will
be matched with a good man. This
bout should be fast and interesting.
The Del Ray Brothers, a troupe of pro-
fessional gymhasts, will introduce a
spectacular acrobatic act, in which a
number of difficult feats will be per-
formed. An added attraction, in the
person of Zerega's wrestling bear. will
furnish some excitement

as to allow dancing from 10 to IL
