Has johnson gone back?" Is a ques-
ton that has beer asked frequently
in the last three or four years. Every
fan is entitled to his own views. 1t
is my humble opinion that the smoke
ball artist this year will have one of
the most successful seasons of his
career. Although he lost his first
three starts this spring johnson al
ready has won more than twice as
many games as he had at this time
last season. Yesterday only thirty
tiger batsmen faced him and but one
got a hit. For n pitcher performing
in this manner 1t would seem not un-
reasonable to expect him to achieve
thirty wins before the curtain falls in
October. The season is not yet one

By DENMAN THOMPSON.

ST. LOUIS, June 10.-That Crucial
series with the Browns opens today.
Upon the outcome Of the four games the
Nationals will play with Fielder Jones'
aggregation will depend whether the club
representing the National Capital will
journey to Chicago next Thursday night
as an occupant of the first division or
will travel northward with the good
work it accomplished in winning a ma
jority of its games in Cleveland and De-
troit undone by the operation of the jinx
the Mound City crew always has pro-
vided to the Griffmen.
1t is likely Ayers will be assigned to
twirl the opening game here-Ayers or
Shaw. The doctor has had two days'
rest since performing five innings against
the Tigers last Friday and it is not ex-
pected he will show as poor form as he
did that day, when the Jungaleers wal
loped his offerings for nine hits and as
many runs. Ayers was particularly eff
fective against the Browns last season
Furthermore. Judged from the manner in
which the Yankees cleaned up the local
contingent, the Jonesmen are not as
cocky as they were when they got
through in Washington more than two
weeks ago Shaw has worked only one
round since he sprained his ankle in
Cleveland. and what kind Of form he will
show If started today is problematical
His injured prop is practically well now,
however. but may have tendency to
slow him up just enough to offset his
natural leaning toward wildness
For the Browns it is impossible to
forecast what pitcher will work. Jones
mas more than twice as many hurlers as
GRIN and always is able to make choice
from two or three.

1t early appeared the contest would
develop into mound duel between
Johnson and Boland. Games john

battles. Morgan, with double to left
in the second, was the only Griffman
innings, although Ainsmith's triple
to the scoreboard was captured by
Walker only after long run, and
Bush had to back up into left center
to get Johnson's fly. Cobb and Young,
via passes, were the only two Tigers
to get a life in this period, and neither
advanced beyond first.
Washington's two runs were COM
piled in the fourth after two hands
had been retired. Milan was hit by
pitched ball, going down in a heap
when 1t struck him on the left knee.

Grace Valentine is small and blond
and dimpled. She doesn't look at all
like Napoleon, and yet we happen to
know that she is exactly like the IA
nous Corsican, with the exception Of
never having met her Waterloo. All
of her battles have been Jenas.
Miss Valentine decided early in life
that she wished to become an actress,
so she became one. Then she decided
that she wished to become Broadway
actress, SO she became that too. She
arrived last season on the lombard,
Ltd, from the West, and has been here
ever since.

Referring to this notable career, Mr..

nor being overshadowed," he explained.
"a player in tributary parts can neither
exaggerats nor underestimate their
value. To do the former is to turn
liberty to license, to infringe the value
in ones keeping upon that belonging
to another. On the other hand, it is
artistic death to slight a performance
because the part is not the leading
one
"My role in Polly With Past is
an excellent example. 1t is that Of an
interior decorator, a comedy part with
splendid advantages, but subsidiary

Summer is here. Announcement of

"Give the public what it wants" has

in the red maple buds in the park,
while the throng on the avenue pull
winter furs over gay new clothes, sum-
mer is in full blast in the third "checr"

false promise when one longs for bak-
ing sands and foam-crested breakers
and beakers, ice cream cones and mer-
ry-go-rounds. But only at the Hip is
it safe to crafty these out -of-season
desires, for beaches are gray and de-

Role With Skill

George Stuart Christie, who is seen

has spent his professional life in as
ISOLATION with leading players.
Mr.. Christie made his transition
from choir boy to actor in Philadcl-
phia, where he served short stock
apprenticeship before he appeared at
the Garrlck Theatre in support of
Richard Mansfield, with whom he ap-
peared through long repertoire of
plays. Following his association with
Mr.. Mansfield Mr.. Christie passed to
the management of Charles Frohman
and was seen with Henry Miller in

Charles Dickens "Tale of Two Cities"
Following this engagement the come
dian played in Clyde Fitch's Barbara

Mr.. Christie was later seen with
Julia Marlowe in when Knighthood
Was in Flower; with Mrs. Fske in
MARY Of Magdala"; with James
ONeill in "When We We're Twenty

lance of Cay, the less initiative friend,
would be sad interference. 1t would
be equally disastrous to underestimate
his value and let the audience forget

has been in all others with which
