Nurmi failed to come’ up to his hoped to add four records to his st in a race in which Willic Ritola drop Eddie Kirby, former Cornell s Finn's heels for a while, and Verne ner, landed second place, yards The other record breakers were Willie Plant, American walking star, who lowered his own ' 2-mile mark | 1o 12:50 1-5: Jackson Scholz, Olympic 200-meter champlon, who created a new record of 122-3 seconds for 125 yards; Carl Christiernson.

Ritola's atte ted iron-man per- formances went awry when he met defeat in a 1l-mile handicap at the hands of John Theobald of Columbia, as well as failing against Nurmi Ritola, starting from scratch in the mile conceded 45 yards to Theobald. He caught and passed his man about « 300 yards from the finish, but could not “sustain his sprint. Theobald rushed to the front again and was pulling up when he broke the tape in 421 4-5. Other outstanding features were Alan Helffrich’'s brilliant victory over George Marsters and Ray Watson at 560 vards; Jole Ray's triumph over Jimmy Connally in & mile special In 4.16, and Loren Murchison's conquer- ing race in the 100-yard final of the | sprint series against Jackson Scholz and Harold Lever.

Frigerio finished in 14 min- utes 28 1-5 seconds, well behind George Goulding’s world record. Three members of the Georgetown team, other than Marsters, partici- pated in the meet, but failed to place.

Walter Johnson's Catchers. How many catchers has Walter Johnson had? This question, raised in a fanning bee recently, elicited Kuesses’ ranging from 10 to 20, but a poll of the party, which inciuded more than one “oldtimer, failed to vesult in the naming of all the back- stops identified with Washington teams since Barney first donned local wlivery 18 years ago. Bven the record books do not dis- close the complete total of mittmen who have handled Johnson in at least one championship game since he be- ame a big leaguer, but a bit of re- search work indicates there have Leen more than a dozen, and soms followers of the pastime may be able to recall others. “Mac” Heydon was Johnson’s re- celver In that memorable contest here on August 2, 1907, when Johnson, then a gawky youth of 19, made his debut in the majors and was beaten by the Tigers with Southpaw Eddie Siever pitching. The score of that game was 3-3, but the count stood at 2-1 against ‘Walter when he was lifted for a pinch higher in the eighth inning, Tom Hughes officiating in. the one remain- ing round, which produced a tally for each club.

Street continued to co-star with Joinson through the seasons of 1909, ), when Hank Beckondort also normed into the picture, and 1911, John Henry and Eddie Ainsmith then started their regime back of the bat, which lasted until 1918, with Alva Willlams, Joe Casey and Sam Agnew contributing some service before the arrival of Val Pleinich, and Pat Gar- rity, who, in turn, were succeeded by Muddy Ruel. Tate Not on the Liat. It is noteworthy that although Benny Tate was second string catch- er of the Nationals throughout last season he falled to palr up with Johnson in' a single champlonship anp, Barney having been used by Harrls exclusively as a’ starting pitcher in 1924, with Ruel invariably catching him. Bill Hargrave has a little something on Tate in. this re- spect, but not much, as a perusal of the box scores for the last two sea- sons shows that the only contest in which Hargrave was on the receiv- 1ng end of Walter's delivery was in the second game of a double-hehder played here against the St. Louls Browns on August 4, 1923, when Johnsom pitched to but. three bats- men, the ame. bsing called on ac- count of rain in the last half of the opening round. There are 1% “Johnson catchers” in the list above, it belng assumed that all the Washington mittmen in the early days of Walter's career worked with him at some time, but of the lot three have borne the great brunt of the work of receiving the grestest of all hurlers—Street, Alnsmith and Picinich. Whether Ruel, who has cgught Johnson exclusively for the past two seasons, will take rank with this trio depende on whether Barney decides to ‘contimue- in base ball and’ On-how many -more sessons of meryice are left in Walter's mighty arms GEORGE KINALLY PauL HERLIEY DEMPSEY IS WEDDED TO ESTELLE TAYLOR SAN DIEGO, Calif., February Jack Dempsey, world’s champion heavyweight pugilist, and 1da Estelle Taylor, motion picture actress, who obtained a license to be married here today, were married this evening.
