JOHNSON HITS TWO
BALLS OVER FENCE
Sets Augusta Park Record
With Drives That Clear
Center Field Wall.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 1.--Walter
Johnson hasn't done much pitching in
Augusta, and it is doubtful he ever
will, as the Nationals usually pull up
stakes and hike northward before the
Kansan gets his flipper in shape to
let loose. AugustanS. therefore, have
knowledge ofshiS hurting prowess only
through hearsay and the record
books. but they have some first-hand
information of the way he can WELD a
WagOn tongue.
Until yesterday the only player who
ever hatted a ball over the center-fieId
fence in a game of any kind at War
ren Field was old John Hummel of the
Brooklyn Dodgers. who performed the
feat ahTut ten years ago in an exhibi-
tion contest. The natives have been
talking about that drive ever since.
hut the magnitude of the veteran first
baSeman'S performance has shrunk
somewhat. for Johnson yesterday wal
loped the ball from the inclosure
twice.
His first circuit rap was S.s,ad
IN the morning game. and 10 prove it
was no fiuke he duplicated the stunt
in the afternoon encounter. In each
instance the deed was done in the final
ound. and to make it more interest

IN the last story, you remember,

miller who lived upon the
River Dee, and who went skating
when the ice was thin, and SO fell
in and got "pneumony-s" Well,
after he invited Puss to come into
the old mill, he brought out a chair
and asked our little traveller to sit
down and tell him more about the
rock-a-by-baby whose cradle swung
on the willow tree by his brothers
mill in Old Mother Goose Land.
II might as well begin at the be-
ginning and go right on to the end"
said Puss, crossing one leg and
stroking his whiskers like a regular
story teller. "You see. your brother
was very busy grinding corn all
day, for in the morning the farmers
would leave il and then call for IL
in the evening. So all day long he
would have nobody to talk to ex-
cept, as I told you, his two small
friends, the rat and the mouse And
the baby, of course. but IL couldn't
talk. 1t would only COO from the
tree top, and he would COO back to IL,
and then he would go inside the
mill and grind his corn. And the
little muse would watch him. and
so would the rat, but they were the
only live things he saw all day.
And in the evening the mother of
the baby would come up from the
town and take down the cradle and
carry cradle and baby TO her little
house close by. And she would
thank the miller so sweetly for
feeding her little boy at noon time,
and the miller would say. "Oh, don't
mention it: When he grows up |
shall let him work for me, and when
I die he shall have the old mill"
and then she would smile and sing
to her baby boy:
"HeIgh. little baby boy. mother il
here,
What has the robin bird sung to
you, dear?
Lonely has mother been down in
the town,
Sewing a bonnet and stitching a
gown.
Softly she sang to herself as the
clock
Went ticky-tock, ticky-tock, ticky-

Soon twill be time for mother to
see
Her baby boy up in the old willow

And then she would kiss him and
swing him In her arms. and after
that she'd hurry home, leaving tho

His clothing was we'll tailored,

features and intense brown eyes.

Anecdotes of the Famous

Princess Patricia whose engage
ment was recently announced, re-
lates with much Susto the story of
an amusing incident which occurred
at a certain society function.
1t was what is called a Book
Tea" at which each lady guest Is
required to wear pinned on her
dress something to represent the
title OF some fairly well-known
book.
One lady (said Princess Patricia)
puzzled everybody. She wore,
pinned on her bodice, a photograph
Of her husband.
No ono could guess the name Of
the book she intended the portrait
TO represent, but after they had all
given 1t up, she told them: 'Life's
Handicap"
Lady Beatty, who is very fond of
children. and tells many a delight
ful story concerning them. This is
one OF her favorites.
A little four-year arold boy (she
says) had been unusually unruly.
He had received reprimands,
threats, and finally mild corporal
punishment from his father. With
wounded dignity the child mounted
the stairs to his mothers room.

evaporation, "I can't stand that
husband of yours much longer"

ance, especially at meal times, the

not have had a bristly, currycomb-

Had that housekeeper insisted

would have reflected credit rather
than discredit upon their mother
and poor Amy that same evening.
The training of years cannot be
set aside in a day. The American
man, as a rule, is unfortunately too
busy making a living to take much
part in training the children. 1t is
