Johnson belied his years in base
ball with a superb bit of hurting.
He had everything on the ball that
made him great moundsman of sea-
sons ago and his control was Of the
best. But one single was registered
off him and only two of the Cards
got on the paths. In the first inning.
after Jack Smith, Iead-off man. had
famed, Hy Myers popped the ball
coward right field and it fell safely
among Manager Harris, Lance Rich
bourg and Sam Rice-merely break
of the game.
The great Rogers Hornsby then hit
into double play, and in the next two
sessions johnson set down the Car ds
IN one-two- three order. But Manager
Harris got his hurler off to poor
start in the fourth frame by drop
ping Smiths pop fly. Muddy Ruel,
catching his first game of the season,
added to Walters difficulty by let
, ting pitch get by. Here Joaason
Hornsby lofted to Harris and the
pitcher himself made n great stop of
a smash by Joe Bottomley and threw
out the runner.
Johnson was quite fresh after mis-
third inning OF work when he took
his turn at bat. He opened the inning
by betting double to left field, but
was run down when Lance Richbourg
rolled TO the lnHeld. evidently wall
ter's legs, which handicapped him so
much last year, are not worrying him
at present. for dispite his running
and lodging on the paths he showed
no signs of distress in the fourth,
and left the game apparently as fresh
as when he opened fire against
Rickey's men.
Had the succeeding hurlers. Jezebel
Zachary and Paul Zahniser, worked
anywhere near as we'll as Johnson,
the Nationals would not have found
the going so rough, But neither of
these hold-overs, out for the first
time this season, was impressive in
mis- performance. The Nationals, with
some vigorous batting in the fourth
inning, combed Old jeff Pfeffer for
pair of markers, but Zach, after
disposing of two batSmen, yielded
tour talEes in the fifth and Zahniser
gave the visitors a one-run boost
in the sixth.
The Nationals slammed Pfeffer in
each of his four rounds, finally max
ing the blows count in the last. This
frame Goslfn opened with a single to
right, only to be forced by Judge.
But Prothro doubled Judge home and
scored when Ruel singled, after Peck
had been retired. Then came Zach
