Undoubtedly a bad pair of hangs kept Johnson from being a big league star. In baseball, bad hands have a father peculiar significance. For in- Stance, small hands are bad hands in baseball. When a player is spoken of as hay- ing a great pair of hands, it can be taken for granted they ‘are large. Big hands are a distinct advantage in baseball. They tend to make the player a much surer fielder. Few major leaguc ball players have ‘smaller hands than Ernie Johnson.

The Tigers’ high mark, 10 victories in a row, was from August 24 to Sep- tember 7 (first game of the Labor Day double-header). Their second run of victories, when they won nine games without a break, was from June 16 to 27. Started August 27. To set the scason’s record the Tig- ers beat Washington on August 27, Next they beat Boston three, Phila- delphia three and then Cleveland two, St. Louis was beaten in the first game of the Labor Day program. The streak was broken when the Browns took the second game that day in 11 innin The Athletics’ losing streak started the same day Detroit bégan its win- ning streak. On August 24 the A’s lost to the Chicago White Sox’ Then Cleveland beat them two and Detroit took three sti The A's went to Washington and dropped two, then two more in New York. Back on their home grounds the A’s lost. both games of the Labor. Day bill to Wash- ington. That losing streak put the Athletics ht, {| definitely out of the race. Washington's Record. * The champion Washington team was not notable for cither winning cr losing streaks. ‘They had two spurts, in one of which they won sev- en games and in the other six. Their longest string of losses extended to only four games. The tail-end Boston Red Sox urally had a lot of losing streaks, and only twice in the season did they win as many as three in a row, Three times they lost six in a row, once they lost eight and their longest run of consecutive defeats amounted to nine, Detroit, holding the record for con- secutive wins, also had its Josing streaks. The longest amounted to seven games lost, from April 22 to 28, inclusive. The Athletics’ best record. for straight wins was nine games, May 6 to 17. That put the A’s away out in front in the race for the time being.
