Slab Staffs Are Compared. B the Associated Press EW YORK, October 2.—The sturdy right arm of Walter Johnson N and the portside paw of Arthur Nehf will carry on the major share of the pitching burden for the Washington club .and the New York Giants in the coming world series. It is almost an established fact that Johnson will be used in the first game of the series in order that he may rest up for another assignment in the event he is nceded to stem the tide of a Giant sweep. McGraw’s first-game pitching selection will be cloaked in mystery until the teams take the diamond for the game, but it is believed that Hugh McQuillan will draw the opening assignment, opposed to Johnson.
