Col. Wait C. Johnson, who used to be in charge of military sports in the Washington Army dis- trict, but now is athletic director at Fort Benning, has anged the Army’s part of the affair. A splendid program has heen prepared as a tribute to a splendid man The game will be the sixth sched- uled tetween Nationils and Giant in their Spring exhibition series, ti fifth contest having been listed for Jacksonville today. The Nationals made the first stop of the barnstorr ing trip northward at St. Augustine vesterday for a tilt with tthe Toledo | Mud Hens and won, 9 to 1 Given Rest on Sabbath. Most of the sauad remained Jacksonville yesterday, but ne work- out was held, Manager Harris decid ing that the men had done enoush in the past week to warrani a day of rert. However, lonz drills wil be held when an opportunity for them presents itself North. The Nationals' ticular o provi exercise for his hurling staff Walter Johnson is t ne a deal of work duri After his 1925 compet occurred at Tamps Johnson declared he was satisfied & other six or seven days of condition- | inz would fit him for the big task shead in the American League cam- paign. He attributed his first-inning wildness to a fear to put too much effort into his pitching, but when he discovered that his arm was fairly strong he did not hesitate to “bear down” on the ball, with the result that his work In the second and third innings was like the work of the Johnson of last seasc Walter intends to do all the pitch- ing to batters and warming-up work he possibly can in the next few days. He is anxious to get another shot at the Giants, who hold quite an ad- vantage over him in the numerous Soring exhibition matches In which he has faced them, not to mention a couple of encounters with them in the recent base ball classic Ogden Lucky Y lerday. Harris used three pitchers against the Mud Hens yesterday. Curly Ogden went through the first four innings, and, though the Toledo team got only one hit off him, a single in the first round, his performance was nothing remarkable. Curly was in difficulties with almost every batter he hurled to, and that he escaped punishment was due mainly to some superb fleld- irg behind him While he was on the hill the tionals executed one of those rari- ties of base ball, a triple play. With Tunners on firs and second bases, Maguire rifled a liner toward Ogden It was too hot for the pitcher to hold, but he deflected the ball toward MeNally. Mike speared it to retire the batter, then threw to Harris, trapping Schleibner off second base, and Bycky fired the sphere to Judge | before Nichelson could scramble back to the Initial sack. It w a bril- liant fielding feat and drew a gener- ous round of applause from the crowded stands. 1. Benson Brillheart followed Og- | der on the slab and pitched to only | six batters in two Innings. Then Harry Kelly was sent to the box for the last three frames. He was nicked for the Mud Hens' second and final safety, a double in the ninth session. Six Extra Base Bingles. ‘The Nationals faced Canavan and Ernie Woolfolk, southpaws, and Benny Frey, an orthodox twirler. The world champions got 16 hits, 13 of them oft Canavan in 7 frames, and the remainder off Woolfolk in his in- ning of duty. Two triples and four doublcs were among the Nationals swat total. The Nationals clustered two hits with a Toledo error in the first frame for a marker, only to have the minor leaguors tie the count with 2 hit and two bases on balls oft Ogden’s pitch- ing. But Harris’ crew resumed the pounding of Canavan in the second round to take the lead again and scored in all except three innings thereatter. in pilot in t, that | Jen Zachary and Dutch Ruether are to face the Giants here this after- noon, the fifth game of the little world series. Earl McNeely was in a batting mood at St. Augustine yesterday. He got four hits for five bases in five trips to the plate. Bucky Harris, Goose Goslin and Joe Judge each got three hits. Gowlin led his teammates in driv- ing runs across the plate. He sent home Rice in the fifth inning, Mec- Neely in the elghth and Harris in the rinth. Nick Altrock, eoach of the Na- tionals, broke into their line-up in the eighth inning. He batted for Joe Judge and strolled. In his two innings at first base, he made a pair of prt-outs. Maguire of the Mud Hens made a spectacular catch at the expense of Harry Kelley In the ninth. The voungster slammed the ball toward “ight fleld, but the Toledo second sacker leaped in its pathway and made a one-hand grab to retire Harris.

We started back in 1911 as a House- Wrecking Company, and we have se- cured our position in the front rank. Finding an insatiable de- mand for building mate- rials which could be sold at reasonable prices, we learned that manufactur- ers with large stocks would gladly sell them at bargain prices if we would pay cash and buy in im- mense quantities. We have added different lines of new building ma- terials, so that our Wreck ing Business, while the biggest in the city, is but a small part of our total volume today. We have given our cus- tomers better and better propositions. It is the modern principle of bus ness which is becoming so dominant today — the Chain-Store Idea, run on the cash-and-carry basi with volume greatly reduc- ing the cost of doing bus ness per dollar of sales. We are rapidly reaching a point when all building materials, from the “Foun- dation to the Roof,” may be purchased at one place, ' We will deliver at small extra cost. SIDNEY L.
