While Wrigley likes to "get 'em young," when they're married he also "works on" the unmarried player. "We run a sort of matrimonial bu-reau with our teams," he says. "We try to get the unmarried players to get married, because in the long run It makes them more valuable to the club.

Dislikes Railroad Jaunts and Loiter-ing Around Hotels Arm Does Not Hurt Him and Never Feels Least Bit Heavy. According to E. H. Hottel, a Wash, lngton scribe, Walter Johnson likes to pitch ball ; he says his arm Is Just as good as it ever was, and he feels that he will remnln up to major league caliber for four or five more years at least. "nut Walter," Isays Mr. Hottel, "af-ter many years of cavorting around the American league circuit, Is about as fond of It as a traveling salesman Is of covering a territory comprising nothing but one-hors- e towns. If any-thing should cause the big hurler to give up the sport before his days of usefulness as a major leaguer are ended, It will be his distaste for the railroad jaunts and the loitering around hotels from breakfast to game-tim- e, which are necessary 'evils' that go with the life of a ball player. . "It was during the discussion of the burdensome side of the game that Walter made his declaration as to the stability of his salary whip. 'It seems just as strong to me as It ever did. In fact, I have concluded that work Is what I need to get the best retults. I must pitch at, least once every tour Walter Johnson. days to show my best form, and, as Manager Milan has reached the same conclusion, I hope to be called to the slab at these regular Intervals. '"I guess I was endowed with an unusual arm,' continued Walter. 'It never hurts me and never feels the least bit heavy, no matter how hard a game I have to pitch. I don't know how much longer It will stand the gaff, but there absolutely is no indlca-- tion now of It giving away.' "Asked if he ever would pitch in the minors after his big league days were over, Walter said: 'I never would go to the minors under anyone else's management, but there are sev-eral minor league clubs that I would be glad to become owner or part owner of, and In that case It Is pos-sible that I might be seen on the mound against teams In the lower ranks.'
