The Speed King Claims He Trllmdl Too Much. Unless he pulls himself together soon this may be an unusual year for Walter Johnson, Clark Griffith’s star twirler and leading pitcher in the American league last season. Johnson has got off to a poor start, indeed, in fact, the worst he has experienced in years, and the work he has shown in en b&x b‘:t glnte l\uot only has Griff rorried, e entire Capttal City at large, ‘for he has lost the last three es in which he ‘hed. This indeed is a rarity for Johnson. Though he is going poorly, however, it is = Ppretty safe bet that the Old Fox will #end him to the box while the Yankees are at Washington, even though Sir Walter complains of being stale. Jolinson made known the reason vesterday for his poor box work re- cently. He admits that he has gone stale and attributes this condition to the fact that he indulged in too much traini this M Dh!_. pl!chl:::, I e { the achievement of car and owner is based get Inyth!n‘ on tho ‘before the out for ten or fl!tun mzulu- one morning.

New York, May 6—The stock market was almost at a standstill during most of today's trading. In the foreign markets, as well as at home, initiative was lacking and indications were for an indefinite period of inaction pending the clearing up of some of the more fmportant problems which obscure the outlook. In this market the uncer- tainty of the Mexican situation is still a brake on trading. shares either: rose or fell today as much as a point, and trading was on a diminishing scale.
