IT SEEMS A BIRTHDAY BOY had the right antidote to deal with a poisonous snake.

Johnson, who constantly struggles with back problems, celebrated his 43rd birthday with a facile first-game sow over the grim-faced Quimby by playing the ball with velvet smoothness.
However, Quimby battled back, forcing Johnson to take a break in the second game. (KB)
