Johnson's failure to make a more impressive showing, which no doubt was a greater disappointment to him than to any of his legion of well- wishers, can be attributed to trying too hard. The ace of the local cur ing corps had plenty of stuff, as a pitcher's repertoire is known in the parlance of the sport, but the very earnestnes of his efforts prevented him from making the most effective use of it Unlike the Johnson fans hereabout have been watching with pride for 18 seasons, Walter yesterday worked with a degree of deliberation that caused widespread comment. He seemed from the very outset to be debating with himself at great length over every delivery he made. None of the snap and dash that usually characterizes his work was apparent, and it seemed that the change in methods adversely affected his work. The total of 14 strikeouts he re- corded attests to the fact that there was iissing none of the strength of that right arm which gave him the highest winning percentage among pitchers over the course of the regu- lar American League campaign, and which earned for him the honor of being officially designated as the one player most valuable to his club. Yet because of his cautious methods he did not appear to be himself. He seemed unable to get into the swing- ing stride that ordinarily results in aisposition of his opponents with workmanlike dispatch. His efforts lacked the benefit of a momentum from continuity. Feels Below Average. The fact that in 12 innings of toil Re was solved for 14 hits including a pair of homers and a brace of doubles for a grand aggregate of 22 bases indicates how fur off form Johnson was, for even thoush he con- trived to escape on five of the occa- sions when he really was threatened, his work fell short of the general average of excellence of his mound opponent, Nehf. The Giants' portsider displayed a formidable assortment of offerings and made especially effective use of a sharp-breaking curve, mixed with a slow bender, Nehf yielded nine hits, including a pair of doubles, and al- though appeared to be faltering in the ninth when Oswald Bluege and Roger Peckinpaugh collaborated with their bats to necessitate extra in- nings, he settled down again and but for a fielding slip in his sup- rorting cast would have emerged with but two tallies charged against him whereas three were ecarned off Johnson's _deltvery.

HARRIS BELIEVES HIS TEAM DESTINED FOR WORLD TITLE “Readlly Better Club,” Washington Manager’s View After Seeing Giants in Action—Nehf Says Victory Hung on a Thread. By the Associated Press. “Tomorrow is another day, ley Harris, 27-year-old manager of the Senators, declared yesterday in the dressing room, after his team had lost to the Giants by the narrowest of margins. “It's the first time I ever saw the Giants in action in a world serfes,” he continued, “but after looking them over today, I really believe that we have a better team and will go on to win the world championship. “We don't feel as if we were really beaten, although, of course, the Giants won a great victory. The last play of the game might have been called either way, without more ob- jection from the Giants than we made; and a game lost by such a margin can have only one effect on us—make us believe we can win with better luck and make us fight all the harder.” Lauds Johnson’s Work. Harris complimented Walter John- son on the great game he pDitched under the handicap of occupying the limelight. “Walter was not unhappy, though he wanted to win. He is just as good a man in defeat as he would have been in victory, and I think he de- served to win,"” said Harris. Arthur Nehf, Giant veteran, who came back to win the hardest-fought battle in the history of world series competition, after cracking against the Yankees last year. was more in- clined to speak of Johnson than of himself. “Walter pitched a great game,” he said. “It was mighty fine to win, of course, but it would not have been hard to lose to the man 1 opposed today. There were moments when victory hung on a thread.” “He is the happlest man in town,” Nehfs father, who attends all the world series in which his son takes part, added: “I'm sorry his mother wasn't here, but I'm sending a tele- gram to Terre Haute to tell her that Art beat the mighty Johnson.” The spirit_in the Washington club- (Continued on Page 3, Column 3.)

By the Assaciated Press. NEW YORK, October 4—With the capture of a rakish British steamer with 11,000 cases of whisky aboard, prohibition officials today claimed to have caused the collapse of an Anglo- American banker bootlegger alliance which in the past six months has flooded this part of the country with fllicit liquor. As a result of a three-month in- vestigation coast guardsmen seized the 376-ton steamer Frederick B and her crew of 20 men 15 miles off Mon- mouth Beach, N.J., in which the Fed- eral officers call the first real test of the liquor treaty with Great Britain. Bankers in Montreal and New York, and distillers and shipping men in London and Halifax are said to be members of the international boot- legging ring, which, the dry raiders aid, has $10,000,000 behind its opera- tion of a four-ship fleet. Four Small Boats Taken. In addition to the prize capture of the Britisher, four smaller craft— fleet motor boats that bring the liquor from the rum fleet to the Long Island | and New Jersey shores—were taken. The captures, which included 50 cases of whisky and 15 prisoners, were made by the marine police. One lone police boat, with lights out, got three of the little craft off the Rockaways singlehanded. The fourth was taken at Staten Island while her crew were unloading | whisky on a dock. A novel ruse was employed by the Federal agents to involve the crew of the Frederick B. in a test of the new treaty, which extends the an- cient three-mile seizure limit to the distance of an hour's sailing.
