New York, Aug. 23.—Fate plays a baseball stars. Fate seems to have decreed that Waltcr Johnson, greatest pitcner of all time, is never to play on a pen- nant winner. Johnson has spent his entire big league career with the Washington club, During the greater part of the time it has been a second division aggregation, It has been Johnson's bad luck to have cast his lot with a consistent loser, The ambition of his life, to pitch in a world series, probably nev- er will be realized, While Fate frowns on some of the noble athletes, it smiles most bland- ly on others. Take the cases of Ernie Johnson of the New York Yankees, for instance. White Sox Ask Waivers. Johnson began the season with the Chicago White Sox. Salary differ- Jences delayed his spring training. Lack of condition got him away to a bad start. To cap the climax, the | White Sox asked for waivers on Johnson, Now for the big break in his ca- reer. The New York Yankecs lacked substitute infielders, Fear that Everett Scott might break, made it necessary that the Yankees an understudy. The s cided to clai mJohnson, feeling that the veteran shortstop would he a very handy man to have around: Enter Johnson in a decidedly new role. “Always a good fielders it was fig- ured that he woulg be able to fill the gap at shortstop if Scott faltered. Just a fair hitter, the Yankee man- leading role in the career of many | agement didn’t bank so strongly on | ERNIE JOHNSON Johnson's batting prowess, Since joining the Yankees, John- son has had litule chance to show in the field, because Scott seems cap- able of going on forever. It is at bat that Johnson has starred, When speaking of pinch hitters extraordinary, don’t overlook Ernie Johnson. In that most difficult de- partment of the game he has been the outstanding figures of the season, Johnson's debut in New York was most auspicious. Sent in as a pinch hitter, he drove the first bal! pitcheg into the right field bleachers for a home run. Since that time, in 15 trips to the plate, Johnson has hit safely 11 ‘times. In that collection of hits are numbered singles, doubles, triples and a home run, Pinch Hit Beat Tygers. His most recent noteworthy feat in the pinch hitting line was staged August 11 at the Yankee, Stadium against the Detroit Tygers. With the score 7 to 5 in favor of Detroit, runners on first and second, and two out in the last half of the ninth, Johnson was selected to do his pinch stuff. Johnson tripled, tying the score, New York won out in the tenth in- ning, 9 to 8. When asked for an explanation of his remarkable run of pinch-hitting feats, Johnson simply replied: “You must have plenty of luck. I have swung at the ball in the same | old way but somehow the ball scems © find a spot where no one is play- ing. You just got to be lucky and hit ’em where they aint.” .If Johnson continues his great “ork he wil Ihave more than earned a fat cut in the word series, if the Yanks are out of the contenders. And that seems likely now. “Columbus 9; Milwaukee 4, Kansas City 14; Toledo 1. NATION AL. LEAGUE, No others played, AMERICAN LEAGUE. Philadelphia 3; Chicago 2. (13 in- nings.) Detroit 6; New York 3.

In a major league game this sum- mer the usual rule of two bases on a ball thrown into the crowg that surrounded the field of play was in vogue, With a runner on first base, the hit and run play was flashed, The run- ner on first, a very fast man, was off with the pitch. The batsman hit a sharp drive to the deft of the shortstop on which he made a great play. eel The shortstop elected to try for a force play at second base, but the runner from first beat the play and was declared safe by the umpire, The second baseman, who had cov- ereq the bag, then wheeled in the direction of first and made a wild peg to that base, the ball going into the crowd. hen the throw was started the batsman was perhaps 20 fect fro mthe base and a good throw would have retired him, What about the advancement of the runners?

Ideas regarding: cleanliness have changed materially since then, In. j fact, ideas on almost everything have undergone something of a metamor- phosis. «Today, these changes are taking place more rapidly than ever before.
