off here and brought clippings show ing that Johnson had struck out twenty-two men at Weiser. This, of course, interested Minor who took the clippings and handed them to Joe" Cantillon, then manager of the team. "Joe'' naturally was amused at the record, and he figured that some time he would take it up with some one and have the boy looked over.
 Stands For Weeks.
 There the matter stood for several weeks when Mccoy again dropped in on Minor and asked if anything had been done about getting Johnson. He was told that there had not, and then he said: Look here, Ben, John L. Taylor of the Boston club is a pretty get this id right away I will tell him to send out for him.
 There and then Minor got into com munication with Cantillon. Blanken- ship had injured his finger and could not play so Minor insisted that he be sent to Weiser and bring Johnson here. where he could be looked over.
 Within ten days Blankenship re- turned with Johnson. To show that Johnson was wise business man even at that time, he insisted on being guaranteed transportation back to this home if he did not make good. He pitcher even then, and when the sea- son was over he called attention to the agreement as to his transportation, making the point that if the club was willing to pay 1t in the event that he had failed it surely should be willing to do so seeing thatit had decided to keep him, and he carried this point.

HOW WALTER JOHNSON
 WAS DISCOVERED.
Was Youngster Seen Pitching in Idaho
 When Found.

The real story of how the Washing ton cub obtained Walter Johnson, rec ognized as the greatest pitcher in the game today. has never really been told. There have been stories that Cliff" Blakenship discovered him out at Weiser, Idaho, after watching him pitch. Another story was to the effect that "Joe'' Cantillon had a friend who tipped him off, but Ben" Minor has related the true facts of the coming of Walter Johnson to the Washington club in 1907.
 Friend Sees Walter.
 Minor had a friend who was inter- ested in mines in the west. He is a natlve Wsshingtonian, but was living in New York His name is John Nc Coy. He made frequent trips to Idaho. where he had interests. and one day saw Walter Johnson pitching for that club. He was impressed with the youngster, and stopping off here en route east he dropped in to see Minor and told him of Johnson.
 No Serious Thought.
 Men in baseball always gec a for of tips on "phenoms" and Minor, of the local club, did not give Walter John son serious thought at the time. Ir a month or so Mccoy again stopped

approximately IS hours. The ride which preceded the attack on the ATexicans was over a trail 5J miles long and was made in r hours. To this was added the five hours of fight ing and the ten mile chase of the Mex jeans into the hills.
 Just where Villa was during the fight, no one here knows, but he was reliably reported to have been nearby and prevented from being in the en- gagement only by his injured hip and leg. Staff officers here believe there is no doubt that Colonel DOdd's de- tachment, strengthened before now by achievements cent forward by Gen. ed PershinE, has begun hunt for the wounded bandit and for the scattered remnants of his force. It will be no surprise to General Funston and his stan to receive a report at any time telling of Villas capture.

CONGRESS cHEERED FOR
 AMERICAN TROOPS.
consratulatory Messages by Stages
 from President to Colonel Dodd.

Washington. March 31.-With Villas main command shattered by Colonel Dodd's cavalry dash, the war depart ment expects that the death or cap ture of the bandit leader himself and the successful conclusion of the Amer ican punitive expedition to rid northern Mexico of his raiders will follow more quickly than it had been at first antici- pated.
 Five Hour Running Fight.
 The five hour running fight in which Dodd's outnumbered troopers killed Villas chief lieutenant and many of his men, with only four of their own num- Der slightly wounded. occurred AS hours before the-news reached Washington. Army officers are sure that since the fight heavier forces have come up to support the flying columns and another action may have followed of which nothing was known here tonight.
 Washington JubiIant.
 Congress stopped business and cheer ed the news of the dash of the Amer ican troopers. President Wilson sent words of reorganization to Secretary Baker and the secretary sent messages of congratulation to Major General Funston, to be conveyed to Brigadier General Pershing and Colonel Dodd. The first smashing blow at the bandits was what all officials had expected of Pershing's seasoned troopers, but few of them had hoped it would come so soon.
 Funston's Telegram.
 In his telegram to General Funston, forwarded by the latter to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, General Pershing in~ dicated probable results of the Ameri- can victory.
 With Villa permanently disabled. Lopez wounded and Hernandez dead the wound is a serious enc to Villas | band" he said. The Lopez referrqd to was believed to be Pablo Lopez, in which IT Americans were killed.
 Secretary Bakers Commentator.
 Tonight Secretary Baker issued the | following statement:
 "The success of Colonel Dodd fin catching up with the retrcating ban | dits and dispersing them shows the value and effectiveness of the careful preparations made by General Funs- | ton as we'll as the dash and vigor with which Colonel Dodd himself and the members of his command have under | taken their task.
 Tt is a matter of great qualification | to us all that the first encounter is so decisive and that our own troops have | suffered so lightly. The effect on both sides of the border will undoubtedly | be good It will allay apprehension | on the American side by showing the | rapidity and effectiveness with which | our army acts and among the Mexican people 1t will show the singleness ot our purpose and discourage other ban dits from sympathetic demonstrations | This comes as very adeQuate an- swer to those who feared that it would be a long and painful pursuit before we overlook these marauders and gives strong hope that the object of the ex- ed"
