Hold Everything!:-.
By Joe Holman

ST. LOUIS, June 16.-But for
the persuasion of Trainer Mike
Martin and President Clark c.
Griffith of the Washington Club,
Walter Johnson would never have
participated in a world series!
Briefly speaking. baSeball's
standout pitcher decided he was
through in 1920.
Already backed by an incon1-
parable record, Walter was ex-
periencing difficulty getting into
shape. Therefore, he thought, it
was time to turn in his uniform.
You've several good years
in your system yet Walter"
Trainer Martin insisted. Leave
IL to me ana you'll never be
SOrry!" Z
Reluctantly johnson yielded to
the coaxing Of the genial trainer
and his boss, Griffith.
The rest is only too well known
to baseball followers.
Few will ever forget Sir Wal
ter's sensational part in landing
the Washington clubs 1924-1925
pennantS.
His great relief work in the
deciding game of the. memorable
1924 autumnal classic will long
linger in the memories of those
fortunate enough to witness the
spectacle.
Sent to the box by Manager
Bucky Harris after having ac-
cepted two previous lacings, the,
speedball king contributed the
masterpiece of his career.
Nor can his 1925 performances
against the Pittsburgh Pirates be
overlooked. Twice he delivered
magnificent ball to register.
Once more entrusted with the,
rubber" game of the series, he
battled insurmountable obstacles
and lost9 -, =
Today the Big Train admits
that, without his world series ex.
perience, his career would have
been a. partial !. P.disappo ointment.
And he unhesitatingly gives Mike
Martin credit for his decision to
carry on after convincing himself
he was through. @
Even at this late date admirers
Of johnson may be interested to
know that his courageous pitching
in the final game Of the 1925
world series did not go unre-
warded.

games despite an injured leg. was

at Mr.. Griffith in the cases of
Zachary and Crowder, who
made good after being traded
from here. ,...
Of course, both Walter and
Mr.. Griffith are trying to help
the club and we hope have
helped it. We know Griff is
doing a lot of scouting on his
own hook and has been ever
since his club left Washington
on the present Western tour.
His chief point of observation
has been at the Orioles Park
in Baltimore. where he has
spent many afternoons recently.
And he doesn't wear long whis-
kers, blue goggles or other dis.
guise as he looks over the In.
ternational League teams which
travel through the Monumen.
tai City, as so many scouts are
supposed to wear when they
are on the hunt for material.
Despite what many say Of
Mr.. Griffith and his propenSi-
ties. he will and has gambled
good money for players, when
he could find players worth
a gamble. The trouble. and
so many fans don't appreciate
this, is that potential major
leaguers don't hang from every
bush. A man must have a
little something before he rates
even deposit of $4,000, a
small starting capital when you
go out to even look at ball
players.
Because Mr.. Griffith has and
will cut loose the purse strings
for men like McNeely, the
$4,000 beauty, and Ad Liska
($20,00O and Paul Mccullough
($20,00O who never saw Union
Station; and Joe Cronin ($7. 500
when they were only minor
leaguerS, we know he knows
that you've got to send money
after (world SerieS) money
That is why we believe, along
with many fans, that the Griff-
Brown deal of last Saturday
was something more than an
even-up trade and that posi-
bly, as much as $25, 900 in cash
was entailed in the transaction.
Mr.. Griffith seldom tells all
his story. He doesn't have to.
And he is Seldom-but some
timeS-caught up with when
he doesn't shoot the works.

On the face of matters, Wash
ington got so much the better
of the deal with the st. Louis
Browns that brought Pitcher
Alvin CroWder and Outfielder
Heinie Manush here for Goose
Goslin, that the public cannot
believe Owner Clark Griffith
didn't send along a bundle of
cash to balance the bargain.
All any of us have is Clark
Griffith'S word that the deal
was as announced and Mr.. Grit
fifth isn't obligated to tell any
more than he wishes. He has
been known to often give out
only particles of transactions.
without accompanying these
with full facts. He talks with
discretion, as he did when he
told the boys Joe Engel bought
the Chattanooga Club, and af-
ter he has had his say, the re-
porterS and the public may draw
their own conclusions.
Griffith gave an outfielder
with one season and a third
poor hitting average verging on
thirty years of age for another
outfielder of the same age, with l..
a hitting average of .355 for last
season, 1878 the season before,
and a current hitting average
of .325-and pitcher who is
having a poor season on top of
two very splendid ones.
Does that sound like an even
up trade?
Does that sound like the
owner of the st. Louis club is a
little goofy?
Is it any wonder the baseball
fans in st. Louis are bowling
their heads off-aS only st.
Louis fans can do-and is it
any wonder Washington fans
are taking the local club an
nouncement with a grain of
salt as they do most local club
announcements?
But with all this skepticism
about the terms of the trade,
which must stand until more
plausible terms can be deter
mined, the feeling stands that
Washington got far the best
of it.
Mr.. Griffith says it was Wal
ter's trade, and of course, if it
doesn't benefit the club, Wal.
ter is then liable to criticism,
something that once was aimed

The final and most important
chapter of the British golf cam
paign begins today with the
qualifying rounds of the open
championship at Hoylake' and
Wallasey.
This is the eleventh postwar
meeting. of which American
golfers have won nine. Needless

just won the British amateur. is
the favorite, and rules the field
to win at. odds of 4 to. /.
Charles Whitcombe and Archie

won over hard-baked links, and

 The search for Burke in the Liard country just now no doubt is ag- gravated by reason of the fact his disappearance occurred when soft ice was forming in lakes and streams At this time the ice is usually too heavy to admit the use of pontoons in the watercourses and too light to support planes on skis, while landing with wheels in the region is handicapped by reason of the fact few natural fields exist in the district and those which have been provided artificially are al most negligible The country is very rugged and covered with heavy growths of trees.

 Although there are 30 precincts yet to be heard from, the vote so far tabulated is approximately 4,200, or about 75 per cent of the esti- mated total for the Division. It is believed there are between 1900 and 1 400 votes unreported.
 In the general election two years ago, the total vote of the First Division was 5,476. It is expected there will be slight increase in this number when all of the votes cast this year are tabulated.
