WALTER JOHNSON TO
COME BACK IN 1921
Washington Hurier Claims Arm
Is Strong Again.
loss Of Fast Ball Pitcher Kept Grit.
fth's Men Out Of First Division
Last Yesr-Reeord Has Been
Sensational.

Walter Johnson. the human ma
chinegun Of Clark Griffith's cunning
corps for more than ten years, is COM
ing back strong in 1921.
This is the threat Of the greatest
fast-ball pitcher that ever wore q
glove, after having been forced to lay
aside the uniform In the early part OF
muscles of his gun-arm.
The blow OF losing Walter Johnson
sent the Senators down to the bottom
VI the pile at the moment when IL APP
peared as though Griffith might finish
IN the first division. II was shortly
after the famous pitcher had hurled
the first no-hit, no-run game of his
entire career against the Boston Red
Sox that he contracted the ailment
which finished him for the year.
The arm Of the pitching king be-
came weak and he lost the terrific
speed that for years terrorized Ameri-
Fan league sluggers. He tried treat
nents of all varieties, but none Of
| hem seemed to have the desired eff
,ect. Finally Johnson went to Roches-
| .er, where his arm was treated for
| several weeks. He was told to take a
long rest and he followed instructions.
Now King Walter is ready for the
ball once more, according to his own
belief.
Johnson's record with the Washing
ton club has been sensational In every
respect. For years Griffith has been
struggling along with a mediocre out
fit that never was better than second
division material.
In 1910 Johnson startled fandom b.
winning % games with one of th'
poorest teams in the league. Since

LOCAL MAN SUES
 MERCANTILE %,

Alleging that S2,50O worth of stock Tn the company was sold to him through fraudulent misrepresentation of it's value, Julius Favre filed suit in the Faulkner circuit court to recover that amount from the Industrial Transportation Company, a chain store concern which is operating branch at Conway and many other places in the south. The plaintiff charges that stock salesman of the company told him the company paid 31 per cent dividends on it's capital the year preceding the purchase, a statement which he has since learned was untrue.
 Favre also seeks judgment against the defendant for about $2,00O dam ages for salary alleged to be due him.
