New Players to Appear.

Of the three new players scheduled
to make their Washington debut in
togs of the Nationals tomorrow Ell
lerbe and Harris already have broken
into the box scores, but it will be
George Twombley'S first appearance.
This former Red and Brave made an
excellent record for himself this sea-
son with the New Haven club of the
Eastern League. and is regarded by
Danny Murphy, Connie Mack's former
lieutenant, as having an excellent
chance to stick in fast company this
trip. Twombley originally was an out
fielder, but has been doing most of
his work with New Haven at the
initial sack. If he is one of those rare
birds not bothered by playing in the
sunfield he will be seen in left to-
morrow, with Menoskey in center;
otherwise he will patrol Milan's beat
IN the middle garden.
Foster probably will be seen at his
cid beat. on third tomorrow, as Leonard
does not take kindly to southpaw
slants such as Ruth delivers. The
midget third sacker is far from being
in good shape, however. He is some
ten pounds under weight and way off
his stride. He will be replaced by
Claude Davidson, Twombly's team
mate, when the former reports for
duty next Tuesday at Philadelphia
The Nationals and Red Sox will
leave Washington shortly after the
game tomorrow on their return trip
for the pair of holiday games Monday
that will close Washington's assign
ment book in the Hub for this season.
The brace of pastimes will be staged
as double -header in the afternoon
rather than in the form of morning
and afternoon contests, as has invari-
ably been the case on holiday here
in the memory of present day Boston
fans In a way this bracketing of
two games for the price of one ad-
mission is a confession of weakness
because large numbers of fans would
turn out both morning and afternoon

it will be the meeting of sixth and

Johnston Shows Fine Form.

In defeating Murray. the 1918 cham
pion, Johnston showed a continuation
of the form which enabled him to
eliminate Patterson yesterday. The
match also showed the versatility
and court strategy of Johnston's
game. Whereas on Friday Johnston
forced Patterson to come close to
the net and play low shots around
his feet, today he endeavored with
fair success to keep Murray in the
back of the court. where he could
not employ his smashes and drives
for sure placement points. The lat
ter. however. frequently upset John
ston's playing and particularly in the
first set was able to secure a position
of advantage at the barrier. At such
times he smashed or played to John
results. but the low, deep drives of
Johnston. once he got well into his
game. drove Murray to the base line.
while the winner would force his
way well into the fore court and there.
with wonderful agility, block Off or
return with snaplike strokes the
heavy smashes of Murray until he
forced an opening for a winning shot.
At these times the rallies were fire.
quently long and the shots played
possible to follow the flight OF the
ball.
The play aroused the gallery, which
was a capacity crowd, notwithStand-
ing the OCCASIONAL rains OF the fOre-
noon, to great pitches Of enthusiasm.
and brought about outbursts Of hand
cIapping which sounded like the rapid
fire Of machine guns. The match
ended with a peculiar feature in that
Murray's last return, which appeared
to be unreturnable, hit the top of the
net and, hesitating momentarily in its
flight, finally jumped out of court at
right angles to its original direction.
The other matches of the day were
less stiffy contested. Mclaughlin
showed that he was but a shell Of the
former supertennis player who vir-
tually revolutionized the game in a
manner which made him known in all
parts Of the world. He was unable.
to cope with Williams at any time
when the latter desired to win points.
and the thousands of spectators eager
to cheer the most popular of all
American players found few occasions
upon which to show their loyalty and
admiration.
Hall found the chop strokes and
slicing returns Of Johnson hard to
handle, especially on the heavy turf,
and although he tried for every re-
turn he was completely outplayed and
never in position where he al
peared to have more than an outsia
chance of winning. n
