Associated Press Sports Writer.
TAMPA. Fla, March 7.-walter
Johnson. who spent 81 years in
the ranks of the Washington
i Base Ball Club has returned to
assume the post of commander
in-chief, facing an unusual handicap.
The big fellow is held in such affection
by his fellows it Is possible they will be
too enthusiastic in trying to win for
him. It may be the greatest danger
facing the club in the coming campaign
is pressing-a golf term for trying too
hard
The great neutral vote of base ball
has cast solidly for Connie Mack for
years, but the tall tactician may have
to share it this season with the Big
Train, for among the fans at large Wal
ter johnson remains one of the great
idols of the game. The feeling extends
to the Washington players and every
one of the 80 athletes in the training
camp wants to go out right now and
die in base ball way for good old
Barney"

Manager johnson himself is paying
strict attention to his pitchers. AS one

While Manager johnson concentrates
on the pitchers, four coaches keep the
rest of the recruits moving Zeb Milan

TAKEN BY ST. GODDARD
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
THE PAS, Manitoba, March T.
Emil st. GODDARD, youthful musher, was
recovering today from a battle through
blizzard to win the Pas dog derby.
st. GODDARD stumbled across the finish
line at HOO pm. last night, complet-
ing the 200-mile nonstop mush to
Film Flow and return in SO hours and
SO minutes
Earl Byrdges was second. three min
uteS behind st. GODDARD. Gabriel
Campbell was third. finishing at 1854.
His brother Hector finished fourth, half
a minute behind him.
ST. GODDARD has won the Pas dog
derby each year since 1925, but this
was his first victory over the 200-mile
course. His team was six Northern
huskies When he finished he carried
one of the dogs on the sled.
Previous to this race. the last non
stop 200-mile mush was run in 1924
when Shorty" Russick finished with
his team of Russian wolf hounds in %
hours and SO minutes. st. Godard's
slow time was attributed to the terrific
blizzard that ragged over the course pill
ing the snow in drifts through which
the drivers were obliged to push their
sleds.
After the Campbell brothers crossed
the line three teams remained on the
trail All we're expected to finish.

RACING TO SIXTY DAYS

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March R.-
Horse racing was under fire in Illinois
again today.
The latest of many threats to curb
the sport in this State came from
Representative Thomas j. O'Grady of
Chicago, who has introduced a bill
which would cut the season from 152
days to 60--an average of 10 days for
each of the major tracks now in ex-
istence in this State.
Without any debate, the House COM
