Washington was playing In Cleveland.- Walter Johnson was opposed by Cy Falkenberg. The year previous Falkenberg had won ten straight games tor Cleveland after a moat remarkable comeback to the majors, and his team had every reason to count on him atrongly. But this year he had been going badly. At the time the Washington team came to Cleveland, waivers were pending on him. Now, the process of asking walvera on a player la a secret one usually and, as a rule, the player Involved doesnt know much about It until he gets his railroad ticket On this par tlcular day, Falkenberg had been goThe eighth Inning ing very welL came along and found Cleveland In the lead, and Falkenberg mowing the opposition down with such regularity that some fan yelled to him: "Welt, Cy, It looks aa though youd stick around a couple of weeks more with out waivers being asked." Griffith was coaching at third and he heard the remark. Two men were on base and Johnson, a good hitter, was at the hat Griffith copped his hands to hla mouth. "There's a guy that knows some Inside stuff, Cy, he called softly to Falkenberg In a con fideutlal tone. "Just between you and me, the Cleveland team did ask wait era on you the other day and Im the only one who refused to let go of you." He paused to let the words sink In. "But, after this game's over," he con tinned, Tm going to waive and youll be ou your way to the minor leagues. By this time Falkenberg was lean Ing half way over to third hose In hla anxiety to catch every one of Griff's words. So disconcerted did he become that he forgot himself and grooved a fast one tor Johnson, who smacked It up against the right field wall and broke up a perfectly good ball game. And Griffith wxs a good prophet Not long afterwards Falkenberg waa In the minors. Whenever I write anything about Walter Johnson I am reminded of what tbe Washington ton said to Bill Dlneen. Dlneen and 1 had been umpiring one of Walter's games In Washington, a typical Juhnson game In that It was close and all the breaks went against him. After the game some ton yelled at Dlneen aa we were passing the stand: "Say, Bill, Johnson must have had an awful lot of stuff day." "Why?" asked Dlneen. "Because you missed so many.' And Dlneen, despite hla ready wit, had nothing to say. ' , (fib till. Ball BjxOlcsU.)

Thousands of people, in their acthe companying lettera, declared that subdefinitions beautiful they really mitted described homes they loved ao dearly. And the sentences of these letters' were too deadly serious to make anyone think for a moment that even a $250 prize might cause such people to describe what did not exist. One Everybody Hard To Write In fact, aaya Mr. Nelson, it was the personal touch, the creditable failing that made ao many contestants describe their own homes that made them lose the prize. For the association wanted' a 'general definition ..that might be applied to any home. Feature writers took upthe plea for home definition, and satisfactory columns of their editorial comment on the need for a worthy definition of this magic word appeared in newspapers throughout the country. Many teachers had their . entire classes compete in the contest, and real estate boards conducted similar contests locally, sending all definitions submitted to the national headquarters for further judging. Radio stations broadcast the rules and public speakers referred to it. . Lexicographers Protest Immediately after the announcement, dictionary publishers, hurt by the implied insult to their definitions, wrote to many newspapers and defended the descriptions found under the letter H on their pages. , "This comment, says Mr. Nelson "did not upset us. We think that it our terms is a good thing to every little while, especially terms that have to do with our feelings. Certainly it can do no harm, and it may do some good to see a few more definitions of a word that should be more on the public mind than it has been in the past. "A great many things have taken people away from their homes lately, but the real estate men believe that the 10,000 tributes to home ownership received in our contest show that the tide' is turning. People are thinking more of their homes today than for many a day past, and this is a good omen, not only for our business but for the nation." Honorable Mention To Four' The contest judges that included Leonard P. Resume, Detroit, presi dent of the association; Harry Kis sell, Springfield, Ohio, first vice-pre-si dent, and Mr. Nelson gave honorable mention of four of the definitions in the following order: 1.
