Washington is poor drawing club,
but receipts are boosted about 100 per
cent when Johnson is slated to pitch.
1t is not likely Johnson would be sold
when he draws as much as the rest OF
the club combined.
Other Stars.
There have been few in baseball In
this category. MathewsOn was one. AS
long as Matty could toe the slab there
was no chance of his being sold at any
figure.
The status of the club makes great
deal of difference in cases of this kind.
For instance, Speaker was sold by the
Boston Red Sox. While Speaker was
undoubtedly the star of the club, there
were several others not far behind him
and the club could afford to take a
chance on selling him for the price
paid and depend on other stars to
make the fans forget.
The breaking up of the Athletics was
another example. Never popular
team, Mack found his attendance slip
ping to point where he could better
afford to dispense with his high-sal-
aired players and build up new or
ganization.

IS CURIOUS ROCK DWELLER
Pholas, or Boring Clam, One of the
Strangest Creatures That Are
Known to Science.

One of the strangest creatures known
to science is the phOlas, or boring clam
When still very minute the animal
bores into the sandstone lodges at eX-
treme low water, by means of its sharp
shell, which is replaced by secretions
as it is worn away. 1t penetrates the
rock to a depth of six or eight inches,
and hollows out it's burrow as it in
creases in size.
Shaped roughly like a top, it could
not leave it's rock dwelling even if ii
wished to do so. For food it depends
on the animalcules that float in sea
water, which it seizes by its long ST.
phon, or tongue.
The pholas is in great demand at the
seaside resorts along the Pacific coast
for it's meat is very tender and makes
excellent soup. The clans are dis.
lodged in great numbers from the lodges
by the use of dynamite, although it is
possible to obtain them with pick OF
crowbar.
