4 ALKING It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Sept. 5. I WENT over to the hotel where the Washington team Is stopping to have a baseball talk with Walter Johnson. In the main, that is what it turned out to be. But here and there the talk swerved around to Johnson's children, and his little farm down in Maryland, and a few other intimate things. 000 ? don't know jut how to out them down nn paper. Maybe they don't belong here. I'm not aulte sure. (But the longer you get to know Johnson the closer you feel to him and the more his problems seem la be yours. 0 0 0 A few weeks aeo his wife died. Theirs had been a beautiful life, and an unusual romance. As Hazel Roberts, daughter of a congressman, she had been one of tlie society toasts of the White House, loveiy. vivacious, talented. 000 Johnson was a gangling farmer youth from the Kansas wheat fields, as naive, unsophisticated and humble a man as ever rame. into the big leagues seeking dlslinc* tion and employment. BASEBALL brought them together and if their social lives were different their characters were identical. They married and Hazel Roberts turned her back on the glittering splendors of Washington’s aristocracy to keep house for the baseball star, who was famed for his pitching speed--000 She raised him a family of five fine Children, she ran the little farm, she managed everything and when the baseball star took sick and was near death dbe nursed him back to life. 000 That's the kind of girl Hazel Roberts Johnson was and. I don't suppose one would need to know Johnson at all to ■realize what a tremendous blow her death was. and what a shallow thing a possible baseball champlonshp must be to him light now. * 000 His oldest bov. Walter. Is 15. His second ■oldest, Eddie. Is 13. Typical of the man he has turned to these two youngsters in his grief and formed a new partnership. waiter Jr. has taken over the little .farm He's the manager. Eddie Is his assistant. u ft £ A COUPLE of days after the mother died, Johnson and the boys held a meeting at which it was decided they would work things out in their own way. Most important of all it was decided that nobody would be brought in to do the things mother had done. Only a Johnson could do those things anyhow. 000 And so the little farm down in Bethesda, Md„ is being run by Walter Jr., ably and enthusiastically assisted by Brother Eddie, and each night after the ball game, dad calls up on the long distance phone to cheek with the overseers and find out how the chickens are doing and If the lettuce beds in the truck garden are coming along all right. 0 0 0 This must be something of sacrifice for Walter Jr., because he Is bv wav of being a right smart voung pitcher and as such Is In great demand bv the neighboring teams, especially when there's a big came at hand and the honor of the township Is at stake. 0 0 0 Junior was hit by an automobile In the spring, hurled high Into the air and both of his legs were broken. He still walks with a limp but pretty soon he will he thoroughly sound again. 0 0 0 HE wants to be a professional ball player. His mother, who once danced at a President's ball, always said he might be whatever he wants to be, and his dad still says he hopes he goes in for baseball. “because baseball has been very good to me." 000 But right now Junior can't give much attention to baseball. He has a lot of big problems to occupy bis time. Os cou">e, Eddie can be counted on for some mar al help but after all it la the boss that carries the mental worries. So, for the time being at least, baseball must wait for the coming of a second Walter Johnson, a real second one. 0 0 0 Getting around to the current baseball races. Johnson concedes that his Learn has only the slimmest chance to overtake the Athletics. 000 Johnson says his club bogged down bad1y on the last western trip and that this cost them the. championship. He, has no great respect far the Athletics as they are presently constituted and says any club within striking distance at this stage would beat them to the wire, 0 0 0 No matter who wins in the National League he thinks the As will be beaten. “Grove is the only pitcher they’ve got and outside of Simmons and Cochrane they are just an ordinary ball club,’’ says Johnson. ft

Bruins Top Cardinals, Giants by 4v& Games Washington Is Six and Orie-Half Games Back of Mackmen, and Major Races Seem Ended With 1929 Rivals Battling in Series. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY % United Pre Staff Correspondent - NEW YORK, Sept. s.—The two major league pennant races seemed ended today and if the Philadelphia Athletics and Chicago Cubs get an even break in their remaining games, the two 1929 pennant winners should enter their second consecutive world series. With a six and one-half-game lead in the American League, the Athletics can feel reasonably certain of capturing the flag if they win nine of their remaining eighteen games. If the Athletics win half their games, Washington would have to win eighteen out of its twenty-one to beat out Philadelphia.

The finals to a week of Grand Circuit harness racing at the Indiana state fair was written today with four events, topped by the Lockerbie hotel $2,000 pacing race and one runoff neat from Thursday’s card. The windup promised many thrills withs >ur sterling pacers, led by the champion Winnipeg entered in the Lockerbie race. The fact that Winnipeg was not up to form at Goshen last week, resulted in some trackmen favoring Kinney Direct. Counterpart was also favored. by some and Labrador found many backers. The event was a 2:06 pace. Next in interest was the run-off heat of the Single G pace for 3-year-olds, which was a two in three event for a $1,009 purse, but which went unfinished when Marvin Brooke won the first heat. Symbol Direct the second and Napoleon G the third. The Parshal! brothers, drivers of the first two heat winners, were given an even chance to repeat, with Napoleon G a close third choice. The Senator, a 2-year-old trot, found Quick Quaker challenging Senator Locke, the favorite of trackmen. Paris Lady figured in for many fans. In the 2:15 pace, late closing event, Star Etawah, Bin Direct and Walter's Daughter topped the field. In the 2:19 trot, also a late closing event. Calumet Guy who became a favorite by his performances on the local track. Ross Guy and Azie Kay were ranked in that order. The Ayers stake race Thursday was the feature of the card. After Fred Egan had driven home his namesake, Egan, winner in the first heat the crowd was given a chance to express favoritism in the second heat, which to many appeared to have been won by Egan again, but according to the judges was taken by Black Leaf with Palin up, by a nose. In the third heat, Egan drove home a decisive winner much to the joy of the large crowd. Fifteen Enter Cycle Events Fifteen motorcycle pilots have entered the four events scheduled for Walnut Gardens Sunday, postponed from last Monday. A fivemile, * ten-mile, twenty-mile and match race will be included on the card, with the first event starting at 2:30 p. m. The track has been reconditioned and a fast race is expected.
