They made public the te: the letter they are sending to Brehon Somervell, Army enginee f Tthis district, who is making the in- Yestigation on which the War Depart ment_will base it Sral Power Commission.

In addition to its effect on the park plans, the Commissioners in their uss the question of whether “here is need for the water power, and g.Ls relation to the city’'s water supply. {The Commissioners' letter follows, in ipart: < i “The Commissioners are especially {interested in the effect that this or 4ny similar project might have upon ithe preservation of the water supply jof Washington, the preservation and Htilization of park areas for the Na- #ional Capital, and the general develop- jment of the city and its environs. i “With regard to the first of these ignatters, it is vital that any project For the development of water power igt Great Falls should give adequate i§ Fotection to the rights of the District {5t Columbia and of the United States fof America to draw from the river, at lor above Great Falls, a supply of water &dequate not only for the present needs of the city of Washington and the Dis- irict of Columbia, but also for the ineeds of the ultimate population of the Pistrict. In this connection, the fact ‘that Congress has already authorized ia certain quantity of water to be de- Qdivered to Arlington County, Va., nd may authorize additional deliveries fof this sort, should be borne in mind. Should Protect Park Sites. . “With regard to the second point, he possibility of the utilization of the iPotomac Gorge, Great Falls and the, hores above Great Falls as a national k, connected with the park s within the District of Columbia, for #he use and enjoyment of the people of the District and of the neighbor- ang States, should be fully protected. TWhile practically all of the territory &nvolved in this profect is outside the dimits of the District, and therefore beyond the control of the District Com- imissioners, the plans of the National iCapital Park and Planning Commis- iion for the utilization of this area for ‘park purposes are in their general “features indorsed by the Commission- ers of the District of Columbia. “With regard to the third point, it 15 the opinion of the Commissioners that the development of additional electric power might operate to the vdvantage of the District of Columbia, provided that power not in excess of the needs of the city should be de- veloped and delivered to the local con- wumers at prices lower than it can be procured from other sources. The de- velopment of additional power in suf- ficient amount and at a sufficiently low cost to induce the electrification of the railroads entering Washington would also be a henefit to the city. “Any excess power over and above these needs is not regarded by the Commissioners as especially beneficial to the District, since the tendency might be to foster the establishment of industrial enterprises in or near | ‘Washington, a_development not -in harmony with the character of Wash- | ington as the National Capital. It is| understood that the applicant for this preliminary permit contemplates the sale of power largely in other markets than Washington. Power thus dis- posed of would neither benefit nor in- jure the District of Columbia. Conditions Held Changed. “Under date of January 16, 1924, the Commissioners of the District of Columbla expressed approval of the provisions of H. R. 4979, Sixty-eighth Congress, first session, which provided | for the development of water power at Great Falls by the Federal Gov- | ernment in accordance with the Tyler | plan. The project now under con- ideration follows the general features of the Tyler plan, with modifications | not directly affecting any interests of | the District of Columbia. | ‘Conditions now are, however, some- | what different from those obtaining at | that time.

This unexpected Navy assault sent most of the Notre Dame “shock troops” to the bench and ‘brought all of the firststring backfleld players except Flanagan into the line-up.

Navy sent in Lloyd and Notre Dame put Flanagan in action at the outset of the second period and the Notre Dame player proved far superior to the Navy ace.

The Navy had to punt agaia, however, and Lloyd" An exchange of punts coming soon after the third period commenced left Navy on the offensive just within its 35-yard line. It was here that Lloyd got away his long punt when a Notre Dame man was off-side and that ? accepted the penalty instead of urning over the attack to its op- ponent, That acceptance proved costly. Lloyd tried to punt again, but the hall scarcely had left his toe when Smith, Notre Dame guard, batted it down. The oval went bounding toward the sideline with several Navy and Notre Dame men darting after it. Walsh, South Bend end, was the one to scoop it up and he dodged his way among would-be tacklers 20 yards to goal.

Once more Dahman was unable to kick the extra point. Punting exchanges marked play after the touchdown until Notre Dame again interfered with the man on the receiving end of a Navy pass and the quarter ended with the Midshipmen in posséssion of the ball on their 27- yard line. Plunges and end runs by Spring netted some yardage after the fourth perlod opened, but when Bauer ran from kick formation to make a needed 2 yards for a first down he found that Notre Dame had braced. That gave the ball to the Rockne eleven on Navy's 44-yard line. A series of line smashes and a 15-yard pass, Niemic to Walsh, moved the ball to the 12-yard mark. Then Niemic crashed through left tackle to a touch- down in three plays and drop-kicked a goal for Notre Dame's nineteenth point. From then on the teams battled on fairly even terms and at the last Navy resorted desperately to air attack. A wild heave, Bauer to Beans, netted 38 yards and moved the attack to Notre Dame's 35-yard line, but another pass from Bauer was intercepted just as the finishing signal sounded. .

I am just going to look things over, and should there come an opportunity to manage a ball team, and it looks good, I might un- dertake that.” ‘The first intimation that Johnson | actually had stepped out of the local base ball picture was contained in | a statement issued last night by Presi- dent Clark C. Griffith of the Washing- ton club in the form of a copy of his letter replying to Johnson's re. quest for his unconditional reiease. | 1t tollows: “Dear Walter: “In pursuance of your conversa- | tion with me of yesterday in which you requested that the Washington American League Base Ball Club give you vour unconditional release I wish to say that while it will not seem | natural to me, or I imagine to the publie, to look at a Washington team without you on it, I, of course, feel it my duty to grant your request, espe- cially in view of the fact that you have many business propositions of- fered you which you desire to consider at this time. “You state to me that you believe vour efficiency as a pitcher on the | Washington club is practically at an end and that rather than remain here and sttempt to carry on, you think | it to our advantage as well-as to your | best interests to be free to invest your money in, and probably manage, | some hall club which would assure | your future in the game. This is | only in keeping with the great, honest pirit of sportsmanship which you al- W have displayed during your base ball career. “I deeply regret that our day of parting association has arrived and T am granting your request solely with the belief that it Is being of service to vou. “‘Assuring you that T will use my bhest efforts to secure waivers that you know are necessary for an uncondi- tional release and wishing you all the luck in the world, I am, ours most sincerely, (Signed) Clark C. Griffith, President.” Holds Many Records. In quitting the game he has graced for 20 full seasons and part of one other, Johnson, who will celebrate the forty-first anniversary of his birth near Humboldt, Kans., November 6. next, carries with him the best wishes of every one connected with the national pastime from the players, umpires, . league and club officials to the great throng of fans whose devo- tion to the sport has raised it from & rather precarious and somewhut ques- tionable occupation to the realn of sound, big business to which it has attained during his period of activity. Of records, Barney, as he was affe tionately known by his intimates, established many in the long period of his activity, but it was as much the modest manner in which he received victory and_the good spirit in which he accepted defeat as well as his exemplary conduct off the field that so endeared him to the public and established him as something of a national idol. Unlike a great majority of the plavers who attain the heights in base ball, Johnson was not, strietly speak- ing, a product of the sandlots, nor did he \have ari extensive preliminary schooling in the minor leagues. Al though born in Kansas, it was in Fullerton, Calif., where his parents moved when he was 14 years old, th; Walter obtained practically his first base ball experience as a catcher for his high school team. The speed with which he could throw a ball, an asset that was most responsible for the fame he later attained, was in_evidence even then and it was not long before he was on the mound, where his work at- tracted the attention of a scout from the Tacoma team of the Northwestern League, who induced him to report to that club in the Spring of 1906. ' Released to Semi-Pro Club. His lack of seasoning caused him to be released to the Weiser club of aa semi-pro league that operated In Idaho and played one game a week. Returning to Weiser in 1907 word of Johnson’s prowess reached Joe Can- tillon, then manager of the Wash ington club, who sent Catcher Clff Blankenship, disabled at the time with an injury, to look him over with the result that Johnson agreed to ac- cept a $250 bonus to report to the Nationals. Although beaten by the Detroit Tigers on August 2, 1907, in his first appearance in a big league uniform, the twentieth anniversary of which was celebrated here last Summer when the fans subscribed to a bronze and granite testimonial shaft in ad- dition to contributing a purse of about $15,000 to him, Johnson imme- diately impressed keen observers as a future great and this estimate was more than borne out by his subse- quent deeds. Probably the greatest triumph of Johnson's entire career was the 1t- inning victory he registered over the New York Glants to assure the Na- tionals the world championship in 1924, when Washington won the first pennant in its history The same year he was selected as the most valuable player to his club in the American League. Next in order may be rated the no- hit game he pitched against the Red Sox at Boston on July 1, 1920, and he is the possessor of several records that may stand for all time, including the greatest number of years pitched and the greatest number of games won in oue league, greatest total of strikeouts, most years leading league in strikeouts. most years leading his league in games won, most consecu- tive shutouts, greatest total of shut- outs and most consecutive shutout in- nings.
