The Nationals will leate here Tues
day afternoon at 3 o'clock for New
York, and while there will stop at the
way. Four games are to be played with
the Yankees, and then four-game
series in three days will be opened in
Boston Monday. Morning and after
noon games will be played Wednesday
April 10, which is Patriots day, holi-
day in Massachusetts.
Howard Shanks blames his failure to
hit as. we'll during the summer as he
does in the spring to the fact that he
is uiaying a Sunfield most of that
time and that it affects his eyes to
such an extent that he cannot hit up
to his true standard.
This argument Shanks made to Grif-
fifth, who. recognizing its logic, has de-
cided to allow Shanks to continue in
left field as long as he is hitting, and
then shift him to field where there is
no sun to bother him. With Shanks hit
ting around the 300 mark. he would be
one of the greatest ball players in the
league. for there never was more
competent fielder or thrower in left
than the Monaco boy.
Griffith is going to try the changing
system with Shanks, as he has sug-
sested, and it may be the means of
making MIN good batter during the
entire year.
OF the fact that a players eyes are
affected by constantly being forced to
wear smoked glasses to play the sun
field there is little doubt. and lay-off
in which the eyes could be used natur-
ally, unquestionab bly, would be of bene-
At to the batting optics.
Those who have been watching
Charley Jameson in the games he has
PLAYED this spring are very much i'm
pressed with the improvement he has
shown since last fall. Jameson is one
of those players who is quick to pick
up those points of the game which the
average youngster is deficient in He
knows how to get start on a pitcher
nowadays as we'll any one, because
he has made a study of this. And he
has also become expert in sliding into
bags and avoiding being touched by the
fielder with the ball.
He has become much better waiter
at the plate, too. and is picking out
better balls to hit at, while his speed
also has increased.
1t is not going to be an easy matter
for any one to take Jamieson's place in
the Nationals outfield. He is a very
capable player and is certain to be of
great value to the team.

His Star for Inaugural
at Polo Grounds.
SIX OF EIGHT INITIAL
GAMES WON BY LOCALS
Idaho Wonder Deserved No-Hit
Game in First Contest of
1910 Season.
BY j. ED GRILLO.

Walter Johnson is slated to
pitch the opening game at the
Polo Grounds Wednesday, April
II. The Washington star. who
has displayed his very best form
this spring, will, if the weather
permits, be given his final work.
out preparatory to the opening
tomorrow, when he will be
worked four innings against the
champion Phlllies. Tuesday he
will rest, and Manager Griffith
figures he will be on edge We'd
nesday afternoon.
Johnson took a twentv-minute
workout under the stand vester-
day morning. He used all his
stuff and finished strong. Today
is one OF rest, and if there is no
game tomorrow he will take a
workout and then be ready by
Wednesday.
Manager Griffith believes in
preparing pitcher for the open
ing game much like trainer pre-
pares horse for a big stake-get
him ready and then keep him on
edge by giving just enough work
not to tire him, and give him a
days rest before the game.
Griffith will have three pitchers ready
to work in the opening game this
spring. Gallia and Harper will be Just
as much on edge Johnson, and either
may be substituted for the Idaho Won
der if conditions should arise to make
such a move feasible.
Has Pitched Five Openers.
Walter Johnson has pitched five Of
the opening games for Washington
since 1908, which was the first opening
here. He won four and lost one of the
openings. The Nationals have lost but
two games on opening day since 1905.
With Charley Smith pitching that year
against Cy Young. Boston beat Wash
ington to 1. The following year
Smith beat Newton for New York,
to /.
johnson pitched his first game on
opening day in 1910. He then shut out
the Athletics, Plank pitching. to o.
and allowed but one hit, which was a
little pop fly by Baker into right field
crowd in the ninth inning.
Dolly Gray and Dixie Walker won the
opening game from Wood and karger
in 1911. to ;.
Johnson was beaten by the Athletics
in 1912, to ., Jack Coombs opposing
him.
johnson beat New York in 1913, to
1. Mcconnell opposing him. He also
shut out Boston in 1914, beating Col
Inns 3 to 0. Last year New York was
his opponent here, and he won to 0
from Warhop.
The Nationals star pitcher never
came nearer to pitching no-hit game
than in the game of April IA. 1910.
when he opposed the Athletics and
Eddie Plank. The game was played
on the old Georgia avenue grounds, and
the outfieldS were crowded. Johnson
neld the Athletics scoreless and hitless
until the ninth inning, when. after two
were out Baker hit a little pop fly into
the right field crowd. which went as a
two base hit. according to the ground
rules. Had the field been open it would
have been an easy chance for the right
fielder and johnson would have start
ed the season with the only no-hit
game of his career.
johnson has pitched numerous one
and two hit games, but he never has
been able to enter the hall of fame for
not allowing hit to game.

RED SOX EFFECT A SAVING

BOSTON, April S.-The transaction in
New York today by which Tristram
Speaker passed from the Red Sox to the
Cleveland Americans ranks with the
greatest financially, in the history of
the game. Although President Lannin
of the Boston club would not disclose
the figures, information obtained here
placed the amount of the cash consid
Grafton with the release value of the
two players which Cleveland turns over
to the Red Sox at approximately $40
900. In addition. the deal represents
saving of another $4,000 to the Boston
club as the difference between the sal
ary which Speaker sought and that
which his successor will receive.
Clarence Walker, purchased few
days ago from the st. Louis Browns,
will cover center field for the Red Sox.
With batting record almost the equal
of Speakers, and a strong throwing
arm, the newcomer is expected by the
Speakers place. In fielding, it is ex-
pected, the ranging ability of Hooper
and Lewis will be of assistance in COW
ering the ground over which Speaker
was master.
Evans May Be Included.
The player who will come to Boston
from Cleveland with Pitcher Jones
probably will be Evans, an infielder.
President Lannin said he tried to include
Shortstop Chapman in the trade, but
the Cleveland management replied it was
trying to strengthen. not weaken its
team. Morton Mitchell, pitchers. also
were sought by Boston, but unsuccess
fully, according to the Red Sox president.
President Lannin said that he had
practically agreed with Speaker on
the amount of salary he should be paid
this year" and that this high salary
was a factor considered in the decision
to let the center fielder go. The Red
Sox owner paid tribute to Speakers
playing and personal qualities. both of
which he rated as of the highest order.

from the American League by as firm
an agreement as ever coterie of

the doors of the Cincinnati club, and
finally thrust inside on the chance that
another players arm may prove un-
equal to the seasons strain, offered,
right on the brink of the campaign
for him, Chase now says he does not
know that he will like Cincinnati.
Thinks Chase Misquoted.
Il am quite positive said Garry to-
day. that Hal Chase was msquoted
in the interview sent from San Fran
cisco. Chase's delay is wholly due to
the fact that the Federal League mag
mates still hold his contract, and that
he must receive due notification from
them, as well as from the Cincinnati
club before he can start eastward. He
will | think, be here as quickly as he
can make connections. and we think he
will play real base ball for us.
Much of his trouble in former years
resulted from the fact that he is a
nervous, sensitive fellow, who couldn't
stand rough riding by Stallings and
other managers. HerZog. who former
ly was opposed to the idea or signing
Chase is naxious to obtain him now"

PRESERVING EGGS

Now is the time to preserve eggs.
The water glass method worked out
by Professor E. F. Ladd of North Da-
kota Agricultural College is very sim
pie. Eggs put up according to it will
retain their original flavor.
Directions: The eggs must be fresh
and clean. Washing an egg spoils its
keeping qualities. Galvanized iron
vessels, crooks, jars or wooden kegs
may be used. The vessel must be
clean. If of wood it must be scalded.
Use good grade of water glass. One
like heavy white jelly that flows like
cold molasses. Use one quart of the
water glass to 10 quarts of pure water
that has been boiled. Pour into the
vessel, then cool. Fresh eggs can be

Keep the preserved eggs in a cool

contain some gas and so crack when
boiled. This can be prevented by
making pin hole in the blunt end of
