Mourning for Johnson Is Premature : Dempsey Reported as Far PARSONS IS LEADER WALTER’S SLAB RECORD THIS YEAR IS DECEPTIVE Barney’s Eight Defeats Thus Far Are More Than He Lo Hi BY GEORGE N history that b The “Big Train, s been created in Entire Season of Either 1924 or 1925. Team Is Mostly to Blame. CHADWICK. IW YORK, June 26—It is time to tell a mournful tale, shed a tear for a real base ball hero and point sadly to a large chunk of base ball right under the major leagues’ nose. * as they have called him—the peerless Walter John- son--has lost more games, combining the work of his carly home season and his first Western trip, than he lost during all of the 1924 season or that of 1925, in both of which Washington won the American League pennant. The great pitcher is charged with eight defeats in the first two rounds this season. In all the 1925 season his 1924 record. lost 12 games The most games Johnson ever lost his career totaled 25, as against only 13 victories, in 1909, but Wash- ington did not have much to him out in those days. The »feats this season are taken into _consideration, for ason th e record of the champion ship ¥ he Senators. There are those who 3 saying that this pres- ages ill success for the champions in their fight to win their third pennant in succession, Barnoy Far From Slipping. Songe suy that Johnson, the great g&peedball. pitcher, is slipping. Many think that the long game he pitched and won at the start of this season affected him adversely. If the Wash- ington club thinks Johnson is slip- ping it could get a speedy reply on the question by asking waivers on him. It wouldn't be necessary to ask Give him to New York and the Yanks will breeze through. Give him to either Philadelphia or Chicago and the Yanks would have to send a hurry call for more TNT and all the reserves to check the attack. Yet it is an historic fact that this great pitcher has lost more games already this *year than he lost in either of the two preceding vears— and if he loses six more games he will have lost as many in 1926 as he did in 1924 and 1925 combined. If, in 1923, when Johnson won 17 games and lost 12, the Senators were unable to win a pennant, would it mean that if he lost only 4 more this year and made his total 12, the cham- pions would fail to hold their title? Blame - Not All Johnson’s. Analyzing_the games Johnson has in June, including Washing- trip West, the result is less ng, so far as his personal per- are concerned, than as a seeming demonstration of the fact that the Senators have lost their punch in close games. On June 2 a Johnson when in am defeat was charged to he retired from the game at the end of the fifth inning with the score 5 to 2 against him and In 1923, when the he lost only seven games, repeating Nationals finished fourth, Johnson New York doing the pounding. But Johnson Is not the only pitcher whose curves have been flattened by the Yanks’ bats. Johnson lost a 1.to-0 game in De- troit on June 7, and that hurt. When a pitcher of his strength must lose a onerun game, it tells heavily against a team that is shaping its course on the theory that seasoned pitching will bring it through. He pitched again on June 12, and Washington won, but Marberry got credit for it, going in as a relief after a pinch hitter was installed. Such contests are about six and six as a rule on pitching bal- ance. Johnson might have won out but he didn't have a chance. On June 16 he pitched another beau- tiful game of base ball and lost to Chicago because Washington could make only two runs against three. A pitcher who can hold any team to four runs or below is entitled to bet- ter help than that. Given But Little Support. On June 20, in Johnson's last game in the West, he got into another tough one in St. Louis, and lost be- cause the Browns scored in the sev- enth; yet his teammates could have won for him had they been lighting into the ball as they did the last two years. Perhaps Washington would not be singled out as the most conspicuous losing team right now. were it not for the fact that their pitching ace has heen defeated more times thus early than he was in 1925 or 1924. But the record is mnot all the fault of the pitcher. His fellow players couldn't overcome a total of 20 rune against him in five games. That isn’t much of a total to flatten in five games. Perhaps as Johnson goes, 50 goes Washington. And perhaps the Spring trades didn't g6 right at all, and further for run-making power and not worshipped so fervently at the shrine of experienced pitching, because it helping the good pitching that gets.

Under Weight JACK, BELOW 180 POUNDS, QUITS WORK, SAY GOSSIPS Matching of Champion and Tunney in Jersey City Now Seems Assured—Rickard’s Advent as a Promoter Termed Detriment to Boxing. BY SPARROW MoGANN. EW YORK, June 26.—There is a persistent story going the rounds that Jack Dempsey just now is well below the 188 pounds whicl William Muldoon of the New York Boxing Commission claims that he weighs. The White Light gossips, many of whom are insiders in the fight game, have it that Jack is below 180 pounds, and that he was forced t« give up training because of his loss of weight. In such case would he be at his best to stave off the clever boxing and pressing of a younger opponent like Gene Tunney next September? Probably not. In any event, if his condition is as reported, it would be murder to put him into the ring against Harry Wills, with his advantage of 30 pounds :)r !l_“f)l'(‘ in weight and his greater strength and pushing and hauling actics. - Maybe Rickard knows fust how the AQUEDUCT RESULTS situatlon stands and for this reason passed up Harry in favor of Tunney Some day the story will out. but ust = now all that can be done is to pick (oFARST PACE,, Syariits aad ;0% | tips and hinks and piain gowio. to I B to 5 "won: Rosina. 115 (Horvathi It does look as though Dempsey 31027 105 Kecond!

Ertle is & political power in Jersey and a great friend of Mayor Hague of Jersey City. Despite all opinions to the contrary, Rickard has done nothing much for the boxing game other than to in augurate prohibitive prices for bouts and to pay fishters unheard-of purses Seats Climb From $5 to $50.

Boxing Game Has Suffered. | The Carpentier-Dempsey battle was bunk from the start. Rickard is responsible for the prima donnas of the game. The chances are that Dem would have been a real fighting champion had not Rickard spoiled him with quarter-million-dollar purses P or With the big fellows getting un- heard of purses, other promoters with less backing have suffered and the. boxing game would be better today if Rickard had kept out of it. As for Tunney, he has been idle since November, when he fought Johnny Ris d a bad fight it was | for Gene. There is a likelihood that |he is under a contract right now which prevents him from fighting till he meets Dempsey. This is another practice of Rickard's and it has not endeared him to the boxing gentry or the fight fa Harry Wills has been shelved. He wanted Mullins to disregard Rickard and get him some bouts against other men. But Mullins listened to other counsel and now is out of luck.
