HE HAD BAD DREAMS. DREAMS OF
RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE FROM

From time to time he heard the SOUND
of small feet racing across the parii
floor and shriil squeaks of terror. ana
he knew that Robber, the Rat ana ms
friends were running from Shadow the
Weasel. SSs
Rusty sbivered at the sounds. Then
a great thankfulness filled MS heart,
thankfulness that he was a prisoner IN
that wire cage. Yes sir, that wire cage
no longer seemed the dreadful prison
he had begun to think it. Now 1t was
a place of safety. The enemy that an
SQUIRRELS and many other little people
fear more than any other could not
harm him. and ALI because of that wire
that kept him a prisoner. 1t Kept MN
prisoner, but it kept Shadow the
Weasel away from him..
At last Rusty fell asleep. but 1t was
a troubled sleep. He had bad dreams,
dreams of running for his life from
Shadow the Weasel and yainly looking
for a place in which to hide where
Shadow could not follow him. In the
morning when he awoke his first thought
was of that dreadful visitor of the night
before. and for the first time ne was
glad, glad way through, to find that
he was still inside. not outside. that
wire prison.

of him in Tampa, he can step in and
fill the shoes Of Milan, Rice or Roth
should occasion require.
He is a splendid catch of a fly ball
and is surprisingly fast for a man of
his weight and build, while there are
few outfielders who possess better
throwing arm. In my opinion Cal
vo's remarkable improvement is due
to the attainment of confidence, a
quality he lacked when he first came
up. Then. being a foreigner, the rid
ing he got on all sides affected his
work and made him nervous, but he
has outgrown all this, due to the ex-
perience he has obtained in playing
class A ball. Calvo will go a long
way toward bolstering the club where
it needed added strenth in the reserve
corps.
CalvO Explains Conditions.
Calvo told the writer at Tampa. at
the time Griff first approached him on
the subject Of joining the Nationals,
that his differences with the San
Francisco club were largely to do with
salary. He had a remunerative posi-
ton as an officer on the staff Of the
collector of revenue for the port of
Havana and said he could not af-
offered him on the coast. He added
he had decided to give up playing ball
in the States and that he would not
consider joining any club except
Washington. He likes the capital and
has very high regard for Griffith
as a boss.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. April 10-wal-
ter johnson tomorrow, weather per-
hitting. will take his first workout
against the Red Sox next Wednes-
day. The Kansan needs but little
work, and probably will not hurl
more than three innings. 1t is ex-
pected that Shaw, who is being f1g-
ured upon to work in the second
contest of the championship season,
will toll through the other six frames
tomorrow. Jim was inclined to Wild
ness in his last appearance against
the Reds at Roanoke Thursday. and a
good long stretch of duty Is believed
to be what he needs.
It is not settled that Shaw will
start the second battle in the pennant
hunt. however, he having a most for
midabIe rival in AL Schact. The
former International League per-
former has a better record against
johnson not excepted. His first ap-
pearance against them was in De-
land, Fla, March 25, when they got
to him for an unearned run in the
first inning, an error being a factor.
Since then in the sixteen innings or
the champions he has shut them out
with ease, allowing total OF only
six hits and issuing but one pass:
Tho Nationals came here from
Clarksburg on the same train with
the Detroit club which was en- route
from Cumberland. Md. to indian

The first time Griffith has seen
Calvo in six years vas at Tampa last
month, when he played center for the
Havana Stars in the series against
the Nationals. Griffith was impressed
with the improved form shown by the
Cuban, and before the series ended
told him to see if he could purchase
his release from San Francisco. Calvo
was informed by the Frisco club 1t
would give up claim to him for $500,
whereupon Griffith cabled a salary
offer to Calvo. who accepted it and
made the trip to Washington.
Got Bargain, Says Grin.
In the opinion Of Griffith getting
Calvo for $500 is one of the biggest
bargains he ever struck, and he said
today he would willingly have gone
much higher. Mcbride. Milan, John
club. as well as Griffith. were greatly
surprised over the manner in which
Calvo has improved as a player.
He hit well, compiling an average
of All against the Nationals pitch
ers in the seven games played there
and his work in the field and his
throwing were a revelation. Getting
Calvo means that he will be given the
assignment as extra outfielder of the
team, to be showed into the lineup
in case any Of the regular outf1elders is
Injured or strikes slump. and that
Shanks' status will become that OF
utility inf1elder exclusively.
II believe I have in Calvo the best
looking outf1elder obtainable in the
country today" Griffith observed to-
day. Seldom have I seen a player
who has come forward with such rapid
strides. When he was with the club
before he was a good hitter, but he is
even better now. He steps into a
ball with as much assurance as any
player / know. He is one of the
comparatively few players who get
every ounce Of their weight into a
swing. and he can hit the ball a mile.
He should prove valuable as a pinch
hitter, especially against Tlght-hand
