North The Nationals pilot is par
ticularly anxious to provide plenty OF
exercise for his hurting staff
Walter Johnson is to come in Tor
deal of work during this week
After his 1925 competitive debut, that
occurred at Tampa last Saturday
Johnson declared he was satisfied an
other six or seven days of condition
ing would fit him for the big task
ahead in the American League cam
paign. He attributed his f1rst-inning
Wildness to a fear to put too much
effort into his pitching, but when he
discovered that his arm was fairly
strong he did not hesitate to bear
down" on the ball, with the result
that his work in the second and third
innings was like the work OF the
johnson of last sea son.
Walter intends to do all the pitch
ing to batters and warnling-up work
he possibly can in the next few days
He is anxious TO get another shot al
the Giants. who hold quite an adj
vantage over him in the numerous
Spring exhibition matches in which
he has faced them, not to mention a
the recent base ball classic.
Ogden Lucky Yesterday.
Harris used three pitchers against
the Mud Hens yesterday. Curly Ogden
went through the first four innings
and, though the Toledo team got only
one hit off him. a single in the first
round, his performance was nothing
remarkable. Curly was in difficulties
with almost every batter he hurled
to, and that he escaped punishment
u as due mainly to some superb field
IL e behind him.
While he was on the hill the Ma
tionals executed one of those rarf-
ties of base ball, a, triple play. With
runners on first and second bases
Masuire riffed a liner toward Ogden.
1t was too hot for the pitcher to
hold, but he DETECTED the ball toward
McNally. Mike speared it to retire
the batter, then threw to Harris,
ira piping Schleibner off second base
and Bgcky fired the sphere to Judge
before Nicholson could scramble back
to the initial sack. 1t was a bril-
liant fielding feat and drew a gener-
Gus round of applause from the
crowded stands.
J. Benson Brillheart followed Og-
den on the slab and pitched to only
SIX batters in two innings. Then
Harry Kelly was sent to the box for
the last three frames. He was nicked
for the Mud Hens second and final
safety, a double in the ninth session
