MANAGER GRIFFITH DECLARES WALTER
< JOHNSON AS GOOD AS HE EVER WAS
V '-1"
s N*
Washington Twirler Who Is Good for Several Years.
“Walter Johnson has four or five more years before him,” declares Mana
ger Clark Griffith of the Nationals.
“Johnson is as good as ever he was,” Griff continued. “He is just past
his thirty-second birthday and when seen at work he really looks like a
youngster.”
Asked whether Johnson was suffering with a sore arm this season, the
manager replied: “I have never known Walter to have a sore arm. There was
talk about his arm being sore at the opening of the season, but it was not so.
He was suffering from a bad cold, which caused general indisposition.”

>!; ffom third. Wood’s throw was
!>j; intei^epted by Chapman, who |z
: found Jacobson and Sloan wan- Z<
!; Bering around off bases, and 4?
!; both runners were retired, what J;Z
J; should have been one out thus

| r he times have brought new and trying problems to women—
| problems that have multiplied the cares of housekeeping. It has
| devolved upon the modern woman to be mistress of many
| things. While acting as mother and business manager in the
|j|i home, she must give time to many more oroblems than hereto
:|:j fore.
| To save time and meet these many demands being made
| upon her, the modern woman must simplify her household meth
| ods. This she can do by cutting out the disagreeable and irk
I some wash day, by availing herself of the help the MODERN
I LAUNDRY offers.
| The Modern Laundry, with its modern equipment, effi
| cient and capable employes, courteous and accommodating man
! agement, is well qualified to assume, for womankind in particu
| lar, the burden of the family washing. Instead of the old meth
| ods of boiling, bleaching and the washboard, the use of strong
| soaps, lye and injurious soap powders—all of which tend to de
ll stroy the fiber, the Modern Laundry employes scientific methods
! of sousing, rinsing and sterilizing—returning the clothes sweetly
| clean and beautifully finished.
| If you seek leisure for more devotion to your children, the do
ll ing of other things more enjoyable and far more profitable, and
| increased participation in the bigger things of life, could anything
! be simpler than packing your troubles in a laundry bag and send
| ing it to Jones’ Modern Laundry? The cost is small in compari
|||| son to the benefits and satisfaction your receive.
