GriH's Famous Pitcher May
Return to His OId-time
Hobby

Walter Johnson may soon he en-
abled to indulge his old-time hobby
of poultry raising, through his pur-
chase of the Elisha Hanson country
estate on the Georgetown road, just
west OF Battery Park.
Mrs. Johnson went to the newly
purchased home today to make first
preparations for occupancy. She
said that the family will probably
make it's home here next summer.
One of the most important fea-
lures Of the estate-to the famous
pitcher, at least-is the modern
poultry equipment, with electrically
lighted roosts and other modern
points of value.
1t is likely that the place will be
used as a summer home, although
no final decision has been made,
Mrs, Johnson said. The property in
cludes, besides an eleven-room
house, eight and one-half acres Of
land, a large lawn. orchard, flower
gardens and arbOr.

space to this free publicity but also
furnish the cuts to illustrate the
