Without fear of contradiction, I say that Walter Johnson is the most beloved ball player in all the history of the game. There is no better way to judge one’s standing than in the rank and file of the profession in which one is engaved. Ask any ball player who knows Walter Johnson ow he regards him and the reply is always the same: “He’s a great pitcher and an even greater fellow.” Hasn't An Enemy Walter Johnson hasn’t an enemy in baseball from bat boy to league president. He has been one of the players that has more than done his bit in uplifting the game to its pres- ent high standard. Trying to get some inside dope on Johnson’s methods, I asked him of all the great batsmen he had ever faced which one was hardest to fool. is reply was typically modest. “They're all tough. Any player capable of making the big league ‘Play Fair, Work Hard’ Are Johnson’s Maxims grade isn’t to be treated lightly by a pitcher. “It would surprise you if I said some batters, generally regarded as weak hitters, have been most troub- lesome to me. “Take Everett Scott, who for years was one of the star shortstops of the 16 victories in the last 20 starts.

No umpire who has ever worked a ball game behind Johnson can recall that he ever made,a serious protest. “What was the matter with that one?” is the only way he has ever expressed his views over a doubtful ruling on balls and strikes.

Jibes at Scot Unwarranted, Jones Avers: Bobby Doesn’t Stop in His Praise of Scottish | Liberality TELLS OF PRESENTS Is Pleased With Overhelming Ovation Given Him by Highlanders Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 1.—()—Jibes at Scottish thrift malign a generous race, in the opinion of Robert Tyrex Jones, Jr, who is in a position to? know, after bringing away one of the Scot's most prized possessions—the British open championship—played over the far-famed St. Andrews course. Bobby does not stop in hia praise of Scottish liberalty when he has told his pleasure at the historic re- ception they gave him at the 18th green after he had sunk the putt that won the title, The old course has mever seen such an overwhelming ovation, so the oldest old-timers of St. Andrews say themselves. “But that's not all,” says Bobby, in telling how grateful he was. “A Scotchman made me a present of an old feather ball—the kind the game began with hundreds of years ago. Apart from the sentimental value he attached to it—he could have sold it any time for hundreds of dollars; they are rare possessions.” “They pressed other gifts on me, as well,” said Bobby, “some of them so priceless I can hardly believe it myself—they all represent the senti- mental attachment of the Scotchman for the traditions that surround the game of golf—especially in St. An- drews vicinit, i BROTHERS MAY PLAY FOR TITLE M.
