Stressing the importance of sobriety and clean living, the “Big Train” de- clared that the Washington. ball club during the past Winter “let go a player” who still is young and should be a great ball player, but whom nobody wants, This, he indicated, is due to the ball player’s indiscretions. - Ball playing, like any other line, re- quires hard work, Johnson stressed, adding that “any fellow who is & good ball player and making money has to work for it.” The great player advised all boys to seek a good education and to “think a whole lot” before they pull out of school to play ball. In this connection §=2ROTBOM> O = DoEHE =a2253852 QIO RDEEr I he pointéd out that the éducation is & necessary requisite for a ball player to Duckpin Tournament Scores C. R.

He clean sport in any e, and told his audience not to blame teammates when a game is lost,” but be “willing to give the other fellow credit, fight hard, and if you lose ge back trying to win the next game.” , He urged all boys to seek advice from their parents in matters rather than from “the fellow on the corner.” Referring to his long service here as pitcher for the Washington ball club and his new responsibilities as manager, Johnson declared: “I worked hard while here to win games for you, and I am going to work harder now.” He ex- pressed the view that Washington “will be well up there” in the pennant race next year.

TAFT AVERAGES 130-4, INCLUDING GUTTER SHOT Most any duckpin bowler would be satisfied with a 654 set and a ble deadlock on first honors The Evening Star tournament, but Clarence W. Taft, the George- town Church League bowler who hung up that fancy five-game set last night, is thinking of the pins he might have picked up on a spare in the fourth box of his fourth game, when he lost control and sent his first ball down the gutter. That. one ball was Clarence’s only bad ene. An eight-pin count on that s) would have sent him over the 650 mark lMfiDrlctle-lly would have clinched the first prize.
