Walter Johnson. having DOTTED
his managerial garb, is retiring TO
his Maryland farm. but there are
some who predict he eventually may
pilot a minor league club.
For more than 20 years he baf-
lied batters with a ball that came
down the alley with velocity some
thing akin to a bullet.
The American league bestowed on
him its highest award. the distin-
gulshed cross OF baseball, a maltese
cross studded with 20 diamonds.
Then he became a manager.
After a long illness he took over
the reins Of the Newark Bears in
the International league. In 1928
Re went back to pilot the Senators.
tie team with which he had spent
his big league tenure.
In 1882 he was ousted from that
position and took the helm at
Cleveland. With the years the
cheers turned TO jeerS.
He wanted to buy the Oakland
club in the Pacific Coast league In
1924 making a cash offer Of $685.
Coz.
Many a ball player has slipped
into some comparatively quiet town
after his arm lost its whip or his
batting eve dimmed with the years,
and managed a minor league team.
-Four OF them are in the Southern
Association: Clyde Milan and Doc
Prothro. formerly with Washing
ton: Fred Hoffman, who once
caught for the Yankees and Eddie
Moore. who was with the Cleveland
Indians in 1884.

place OF DR.. NJ. L. Norvell of San
Benito who has moved from the VAL
ley.
In notifying the judges Of their
appointment. DR.. j. A. Hockaday,
general chairman, explained that a
light tackle class had been provided
specifying light tackle as follows:
For rod and reel, the rod to be not
mere than Q six-ounce tip and the
line not to exceed a nine Inch thread
line. or No. Q. The six-ounce tip Is
regulated by weight, being the tip
end Of q two-piece rod where 1t dis
connects at the reel seat and this
must be weighed. Everything above
this weight will be considered heavy
tackle from the standpoint CT scor-
ing points but heavy tackle is es-
pecislly a rod Of any Weight and q
line not to exceed No. -. Judges have
been asked to be on hand well in
advance Of opening time TO pass en-
tackle.

judges barge in the channel some
where between the turning basin

cannot be obtained. a wharf arrange
ment will be constructed.

it as a witness.
