Walter Johnson was a proud boy last night, although ha tried in his usual modest way to conceal bis joy. He was proud of the fact that he had won, , but that he had the turner of pitching < before the President of the United States ( added great satisfaction to him, especial- 1 ly as he acquitted himself so well. When ] the President tossed out the first ball, j the tii st in the history of base ball in i this country,, Umpire Bill Evans turned i it over to Johnson. Walter started for the box. but Evans called him back and ; exchanged balls, the one the President t had throv.-n being tossed over to Manager \ Mi A leer to keep for the young pitcher as a souvenir of the occasion. Today the hall was taken to the White House by one of Johnson's friends and the I'resident wrote his name thereon. At the Dewey last night Water Johngun said: "1 am pretty short of cash just now, as the club doesn't start paying salaries until the first of the month, but one hundred dollars wouldn't buy that toll from me." Tnlllt unn tunc oebiwi V?X? 1 ,i* aw?Movi( ii uo aancu aWOUV IU8 UUilUiHOU ] during the game and said: < "I never felt better in ray life, nor | Stronger at the finish. When I went into the box 1 made up my mind to win that t game or throw my arm off trying. I i recognized the honor the President was ] doing the Washington club and base ball : in general in coming out to the game. 1 and I knew I could never return to Call- i fornia if 1 didn't win. I "1 arn glad the first game is out of the ] way. as everybody felt a bit nervous. It was a nice victory, and you can take it from me. the Nationals will win many i more just like it." i i Just oefore the game started President ' Taft expressed a wish to be introduced I to Manager McAleer of the Nationals, and * Connie Mack of the Athletics. Walking 11 arm in arm the rival managers were eB- i cortrd to the box and paid their respects 1 to the chief executive, after being intro- < duced by President Noves of the Wash- * |r.gton club. I "It would not be courteous of me in the t presence of Mr Mack to wish that Wash- < ington would win." said Mr. Taft to Mc- I A leer, "but I am out here as a fan and will applaud all the good plays.''

Baker lit the ball on the nose and Gessler was K-ithin about six inches of grasping the j ?phere. when down he went in a heap, e The man he fell over was as much per- g :urbed es the "fans," but the poor fellow t s a cripple and simply couldn't get out of c >he way.

Walter a Tohnson is entitled to the most praise c >n account of his great pitching, but ESddie Collins was there with the fielding stunts that made the spectators cheer t time after time. In the second inning g Street drove a wicked grounder into c right. Collins had started to cover sec- t >nd, but came back and while fully ex- t tended gathered in the ball and tossed t "Gabby" out at first. It was a clear a jase of robbery.

Collins eame over on the run and i d the ball to Davis, using his hands 11 is a broom, and beat Gessler by an eyelaah. t t Milan and Schaefer had a mix-up over iheir private signal* and a run was probably thrown away.

The playtra agreed that Milan was right, and 8 laid It was a good thing it came up without disastrous results, as it will make iverybody more careful in the matter of t signs.

It lasted but sixteen rounds, and then Langford, grown tired of the prolonged affair, landed a right swing on the jaw that put Barry away so bard that his seconds had to carry him to his corner and work over him for some time to revive him. In the second round Barry sent a stiff right to the mouth that brought blood, but the bell interrupted further hostilities. Toward the end of the third reund Langford pretended to be groggy and reeled toward the ropes, but Barry, _ who had been very cautious throughout the session. refused to be inveigled even Into leading, and the gong sounded with neither making an attempt to fight. At the end of the fifth round Barry landed lefts anfl rights that made Langford's mouth bleed freely. The tenth round marked the beginning of the end for Barry. The negro landed ?- ? Lin \r and taw with both lefts and Uil 111*3 UVUJ uiiv* j... rights and Barry tried to hang on. A straight right on the jaw sent the white man down for the count of eight, and when he got up Langford went for him and landed three hard rights on the Jaw. forcing Barry to take the count of seven. In the middle of the eleventh round Barry electrified the spectators by knocking Langford through the ropes and an top of the spectators with a hard right swing, but the negro clambered back unhurt Just as the round ended. The thirteenth round was a bloody one. with Barry's nose and mouth contributing their full portions. The fifteenth round saw Langford pepper Barry's face so that when the sixteenth round began the white man's left eye was closed and he could do little but hold on. As they broke from one of their many wrestling fits Langford caught Barry flush on the jaw with a right swing and Barry went out. CLOSE GAME EXPECTED. Georgetown and Virginia Teams to Meet in Charlottesville. With both schools represented by nines far weaker than any of past years, the annual base ball series between Georgetown and Virginia will open at Charlottesville tomorrow afternoon. The second game will be played on Georgetown Field May 2. Last season the battles resulted ip Virginia winning the flrst ana Georgetown the second, each victory going to the team playing on the home grounds. RAcausA of this, and also the fact that both aggregations-have so far shown that they stand about equal, from comparison of scores, tomorrow's contest promises to be a close one and hard fought. Virginia has won very few games this season, although lately the team has begun to dieplay signs of strength. Especially is this so in the box, where Culberson. Brown and Witmer have been holding forth. Although It has not been definitely announced, it is more than likely that Brown will be used against Georgetown He has played at Andover for two years, and at present seems to be one of the best of the young twlrlers among the southern colleges.
