SHOULD JOHNSON DESIRE TO
 RETIRE, GRIEF WOUZDO.KH
Griffith Hopes He Won't, But Says Walter Is En- titled to Absolute Re- lease if He Wants to Settle Down.

Washington, Oct. 1S.--1t seems 10 he un to Walter Johnson to decide finally whether he will contlnupe 10 slime in the Armament of the "orio champion nationals.
 Clark Griffith, president or the club, says that if the veteran hurler should be offered an opportunity 10 better himself, 'It would be mighty hard for me to stand in his way although q would certainly feel that I was being & hero," in surrender ing any claim on his services.
 Although the flash of his pitching arm has not been dimmed by is wears of major league baseoall. Johnson hankers after an interest in some western minor club so he can settle down for the sake or ms family. Griffith, of course has been trying to dissuade him from leaving the team he helped to bring 10 glory. but he admits he has not been able 'to talk Walter out or ms idea of leaving us"
 Explaining that before Johnson could leave the major leagues every club in both circuits would have to waive rights on him, Griffith ex- pressed the opinion that if Washing ton gave the pitcher his release the otbers would do likewise "as a re- ward for his long and faithful serV- ice"
 Naturally, hope that Johnson decides to stay with us a little long er," he said. "We've gotten some- where now, and asking me to let loose a pitcher who won 2s games for us last year is asking some- thing"

In the best condition of the pres- ent season, the All-New Britain foot ball team Is ready for the battle with the crack Submarine Base team of New London, at Memorial Field at o'clock Sunday afternoon. Two of the most spirited practice ses- sions of the season have been en- gagged in by the team this week, and the sluggish work of the games early in the season, seems to have disap- peared. The lack of knowledge of signals, has been given close atten- ton blythe coach, and this fault has been practically eliminated.
 Slim" Politis, who was sadly missed from last Sundays game, has come to terms with the management and will be back in harness in the game against the Base eleven. Poli- tis' presence in the locals line will have big effect. There is no bet ter tackle in these parts than "Slim."

Williams has a strong team this year. Perhaps Coach Dobie of Cor nell underrated it's power.
 Then again Williams was pointed for Cornell, while the Big Red team wasn't going anywhere in tha5 game.
 No team can lose a trio of backs like Pfann, Ramsey and Cassidy and not be severely handicapped. Prann was a team in himself.
 Despite the loss of these three stars, Dobie insists he is satisfied with his backfeId. The Cornell mentor says that it was the line that failed him in the Williams game.
 In the west there have been more reversals of form among the grid leaders than anywhere else. The smaller colleges have been making all kinds of trouble in that section.
 A few weeks ago Chicago was de- feated by Missouri to Q. Quite setback for Coach Stagg and his Maroon proteges.
 Chicago, however, recovered some of it's lost prestige by heating Brown, believed te have a team worthy to represent the east.
 Coe gave Wisconsin rude jolt by holding the Badgers to a~7 to [ tie, Michigan was hard pressed to defeat the Michigan Aggies z 10 0.
 Likewise in the east, Yale just managed to trim Georgia to C; Harvard had its hands full with lit- tie Middlebury, while Princeton was held to a scoreIess tie by Lehigh.
 No longer can the big colleges re- gard the smaller schools as soft spots. The element of uncertainty is so great that the weaker eleven, willing to gamble with the forward pass, always has a chance.
