WALTER JOHNSONpS SON
HAS PROBLEM To SOLVE

What's in a name? That's one OF
the things Edwin Roberts johnson
will have to find out for himself.
The average reader might say tha:
there Is nothing unusual about the
name Edwin Roberts johnson, but
let's see about this.
Edwin Roberts was one of the most
prominent orators in Congress a few
years ago. Johnson is the name OF
the worlds foremost baseball pitcher
and a member OF the Washington
team.
Thus II is learned that Edwin Rob
erts johnson is the descendant Of
two famous men, the former Con-
gresham being his grandfather and
the pitcher his daddy.
Edwin Roberts johnson has plenty
of time to ascertain what's in a name
for he will not be q week old until
tomorrow.
