WALTER JOHNSON
BUYS HOME HERE
Acquires Hanson Property on
Georgetown Road for
Residence.

Walter Johnson. premier pitcher OF
the Washington base ball team, last
week acquired the Elisha Hanson
properties on the Georgetown road, at
Alta Vista, Md. The sale was con-
summated by Charles II. Heyl, jr., act
ing for Maddux, Marshall, Moss &
Mallory.
BY this deal Barney" becomes
owner of a country place. consisting
of an 11-room house, situated on a
tract of S12 acres, four acres of which
are planted in the finest of fruit trees.
The former owner. a chicken fancier,
arranged housing accommodations for
1000 chickens, and the pitching ace
Is much interested in this feature. The
house is modern in every particular
and will afford a splendid year-round
residences
The sale is taken as an omen that
Walter Johnson has decided to make
Washington his permanent home. 1t
is pointed out that this is only an
other instance of a man. able to live
wherever he peases. taking advantage
of the many things offered by the
Capital which are not TO be found
elsewhere
Whether Walter will go in for
chicken raising has not been definitely
decided but it is known that he plans
to spend most of the year on his coun-
try estate. working on the farm land
during the off season in order to keep
in shape. He is a keen Judge of real
estate as we'll, and has made money
on every property he has bought in
Washington and vicinity. The in
creasing values of nearby Maryland
are said to have been responsible, in
a measure, for his purchase of this
property

Mich. recommended that real estate
boards throughout the country urge
the passage of similar acts in their
own States.
The purpose of the act, as stated
in the bill, is to regulate the practice
Of using written leases OF real estate
which. because of concessions to the
lessees, do not truly state the real net
rent being paid. 1t is recognized that
such practice can be and frequently

As he spoke the man kept his eyes
respectfully, yet keenly. fixed on the

be able to convince him In a glance
OF his own innocence? He wished
earnestly that 1t might be 50. But
only an expert physiognomist could

AMONG THE SPORTS

Hook" Wiltse is back in the big show.
 Not as a pitcher, tis true. But the fact that he will appear in uni form again ''up among 'em' is in teresting news.
 And his appearance with the Yankees instead of the Giants makes his appointment all the more inter esting.
 Wiltse still ranks as the best southpaw the New York Giants ever boasted. McGraw has had other good ones, including Rube Marquard Art Nehf and Ferdie Schupp. But none of these proved as valuable to McGraw or as sterling a pitcher.
 Wiltse was an important mem Der of the Big Five' which car ried the Giants to pennants in 1904 and 1905. Christy Mathewson, then reaching the peak of his career, Joe McGinnity, Dummy Taylor and Red Ames were the other members.
 Hook" was still doing yoeman service for McGraw when the Giants again copped the flag in 1911. Matty was still with the team of course The others had departed.
 When Wiltse dropped out of the
