JOHNSON WILL TWIRL OPENING GAME
AGAINST MILLER HUGGINS NEW OUTFIT
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Wartime washington To-Day
greets wartime baseball.
Somewhat wounded by calls from
Uncle Sam, our great national game
comes smiling up to the line, ready
for duty, offering its harmless, ex-
hilarating battles in beneficial op-
position to the thrilling pull of that
great battle in France.
Owing to his being obliged to at
tend a number OF important Cabinet
meetings today, President Wilson an
nounced that he would be unable to
assist the Griffmen in starting the
deague. Last year, too, he was too
busy, the United States having just
declared war upon Germany.
Washington, from the highest to
the humblest, Is waiting and ready
for the annual American League pen
nant race to get under way. Grand
stand. pavilions. and bleachers will
hold their thousands of smiling fans,
all urging Clark Griffith and his home
team to victory.
sentatives, grave, serious Senators,
Washington's business men of all de-
gree, toilers in the thousands Of busy
Government offices, soldiers camped
about the worlds greatest Capital.
and right down the line to the ten
year-olds of the "knothole gang" all
wait with Joy for the sound OF the
wood against the leather.

Facing the Yanks.

The Griffmen face the New York
Yankees In the first game OF the year
at 4 o'clock. Both teams have trained
faithfully for the past month. and
have been pronounced At for the long
grind that ends only with the chilly
days of October.
Washington fans will give a rous-
ing welcome to its new players
Johnny Lavan and Bert Shotton, both
obtained from the st. Louis Browns.
Lavan is a lieutenant in the naval
reserve, and plays ball only until he
receives orders to report for active
duty. He IL a typical young Ameri-
can, an athlete OF the highest class
but a patriot in all. Officers and men
in khaki OF army or blue OF navy Will
have a heart throb as they watch his
movements around the infeld. for he
may soon pass rom the big leagues.
Walter johnson and his battery
partner. Eddie Ainsmith. are certain
TO be applauded when they step out
upon the field So will Joe Judge,
who is gamely trying to overcome
the possible weakness OF a broken
leg. And good old Zeb Milan, classi-
est OF outfielders. will have to doff
his cap TO the cheers of the throng.
