BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

All doubt which may have existed as
to whether Walter Johnson will be
available for service with the Nationals
this year owing to the likelihood of his
being drafted has been dissipated by
the action of the local exemption board
at CeffeyviIle, Kan, where he regis
tered. According to a telegram from
Coffeyville today official notice has been
sent by the board to johnson. who has
a wife and two small children, that he
has been placed in class 4.
Owing to the fact that the big pitcher
has for years been receiving a large
salary and also owns property produc-
Ing an income it was thought that pos
sibly his family would not be regarded
as being dependent upon his labor for
support and for that reason he might be
denied deferred classification, but the
action OF the exemption board definitely
settles this question and removes any
possibility that the premier hurler will
be summoned to the coIors. The only
formality now necessary to assure
Johnson appearing In a Washington
uniform this season Is his acceptance of
the contract to be submitted to him, and
no great difficulties are anticipated on
that score.
Manager Griff1th when apprised of the
decision Of the Coffeyville officials in
regard to johnson expressed gratif1ca-
ton.
Had the exemption board decided
that the Army needed Johnson's serv-
ices the Washington club willingly
would have assented to losing him, re-

on our prospects, but 1t having ruled
that he Is entitled to deferred olassifica-
