STILL IS FOND OF GAME, | BireteorNee BUT DETESTS TRAVE Distaste for Jaunts Is About Only Thing That Might Cause Him to Quit While Retaining Prowess. Griffs in Twin Bill Today. BY W. H. HOTTEL. HILADELPHIA, - June 3—Walter Johnson likes to pitch ball; he P says his arm is just as good as it ever was, and he feels that he will remain up to major league caliber for four or five more years, at least. But Walter, after many years of cavorting aroynd the American League criguit, is abount as fond of jt as a traveling salesman is of cov- ering a tefritory comprising nothing but one-horse towns. If anything should cause the big hurler to give up the sport before his days of use- fulness as a major leaguer are ended, it will be his distate for the railroad jaunts and the loitering around hotels from breakfast to game time, which are necessary “evils” that go with the life of a“ball player.
