Johnson MAY TEST ARM
AGAINST TIGERS SUNDAY

CLEVELAND. September 16.-Just

Walter Johnson's arm is may be
known Sunday evening. The Kansan

a week ago and thus far has expert
enced no i'll effects. He has been in
creasing his work gradually. and
while he has not yet attempted any
thing in the way of real fast balls.
feels no pain now from the use OF
moderate speed. which caused his
wing to hurt before he went home to
rest 1t.
Starting today, Walter will prepare
himself for a return to the mound.
and il nothing develops to cause
change in plans he will be started
against the Tigers in Detroit on the
Sabbath
II is not Grif's intention to send
johnson the full route on his first ap-
pearance. His arm is not yet suf-
ficiently strong for such test after
his long lay-of, but he probably will
toll for about five innings and the
pilot is confident this try-out. will
prove the correctness of his theory
that there is nothing radically wrong
with the stars souper.
