For some reason or other, the
fans Of Washington have an annual
habit Of waiting until the last min
ute to grab their pasteboards for
the grand old spring occasion, and
1t IL beginning to appear as though
they are all trying to grab 'en off
Skillet"
All Of which Skillet" enjoys Inn
mensely, for he still has about 100
perfectly good reserved seats to be
awarded to limerick last-liners. And
these are no bum seats either
they are all in sections o and p
right down there near the third
base line, which you must agree is
q hot location, indeed.
On consulting his list Of winners
to date. Skillet discovers that a
few of those who have won have
not yet made application to him
for their tickets. Lest these miss.
ing winners failed to read the origi,
nal announcements about this con.
rest, Skillet" again reminds them
that they must come to the third
floor Of the Hearst Building. II

teenth, and apply in person for
their awards.
No tickets ara being mailed out.
as some Of the fans seem to have
believed. The sooner you come
for the tickets, the farther down
front your seats will be located.
The winner of the first prize Of
four tickets today Is an old acrostic
writer a year ago, William j.
Mitchell, who has been in the lime.
rick contest from the beginning,
but without success until TODAY.
His last line on Slim McGrew was
the best received. Here is the COM
plete verse with his last line where
1t properly belongs.
A guy by the name of McGrew.
Grabbed plenty Of Old-fashioned
stew,
He stands six.feet-four,
Weighs ten stone or more,
Some target-but he's hit by few.
Mitchell is the most virulent sort
or baseball fan. in fact he might
be classed as dangerous and II it
were not for this tendency he would
probably have passed up this con.
test in disgust long ago. But he
eats. drinks and sleeps in terms of
baseball, he kept at 1t until it
brought him something. When he
reads his name in the paper todav
he'll be as surprised as you are in
reading 1t.
Another of today's winners. Irene
I, Birch. ladybug, has sent her
contributions in almost daily since
March s, when the contest started.
but without avail until today. Her
last line on the McGrew jingle was
one Of the best four received and
she wins two tickets for this:
~HOme runs off him will be few"
The other prizes went to Tom
Hughes, la e street southeast, and
John p. Fogarty, 91S Virginia ave.
nue.. respectively. Hughes, whose
letter is being printed below for the
benefit Of some OF the weakening
fans, wrote this last line for the
McGrew verse:
Lets hope that he wins twenty.

to the opening game with Brigham
Young, October II. The names should
be sent to Coach OFT Romney at the
college. Each person will be allowed
to submit but one name. The name
of the individual should accompany
the suggested name. The judges Of
the contest will only see the names
submitted, they will not know their
authors. In case Of a tie or if the
same name is submitted by more than
one individual, the time of receipt
will determine the award.
The object and cause of all this,
the bobcat mascot, will be on display
in the Hauseman-McCau window. All
those who enter the contest are advis-
ed to take a good look at the mascot
for inspiration. According to Coach
Romney, "He's a real friendly little
cuss, but look out when he means
business"
The schedule for the Bobcats will
be stiff one. The first three games,
all against strong teams, will be
played on the home field. The PAN
theirs of Brigham Young university
of Provo, Utah, will play the first
game here on October II. This Is
the team which handed the Bobcats

NJ INNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Sep
wv tember 27.-Walter Johnson,
recently voted the most
valuable base ball player in the
American League and one OF the
greatest pitchers the game has
known, didn't cost the Washington
club a red penny, according to the
story related by Joe Cantillon, for
mer manager OF the Nationals, and
now scouting for the Minneapolis
club in the American Association
1T was back in 1907" stated CantiI-
lon, that i first heard of the pitcher
who later was to carve his name in
base balls hall OF fame. I heard OF
him through Mickie Shea, who played
with me back in the SOS with the
San Francisco club of the Pacific
Coast League.
One day Shea came to me and was
all enthused about certain pitcher
he had seen playing ball in Weiser,
Idaho. Joe" he said, this boy sure
can pitch. He throws a ball faster
than you can imagine"
Joe Wasted No Time.
Il didn't waste any time looking
this lad up. l ordered Cliff Blanken-
ship, then a scout for the Nationals,
TO look him up and give me the low
down. One glimpse of Johnson con-
WINGED Blankenship that he was all
there. and he sent the finger to
Washington.
THE first day Johnson arrived in
camp 1 sent him out to show off his
stuff, and what j saw was enough.
On the very next day he was in there
pitching his first major league game
That was back in 1907. He was
with me the next two years while /
was managing Washington, and has
been there ever since. pitching as
good today as he did in his best
seasons.
And to think that Walter didn't
cost the Washington club a penny
