SPORTS, " Dempsey Still Main Heavy Title Threat : Johnson’s Marks to Stand for Years 25 YEARS OF BAN JOHNSON By John B. Foster. EXCHAMP BETTER THAN NEW BOXERS Other Aspirants Likely to Eliminate Themselves at Present Rate. Rr the Associated Press. EW YORK. January 16.—With- | out the necessity of lifting a | finger in his own behalf, Jack | Dempsey stands out more prom- inently than ever as the main Reavyweight title threat for 1928. Aging though the Manassa Mauler may be, critics still place him head and i shoulders above any of the present crop of contenders. | At their present rate most of the other heavyweight aspirants, experts think, will have eliminated themselves by Spring unless there is a startling re- versal of form. On their latest showing neither Tom Heeney mnor Jack Sharkey, picked as two of the outstanding contenders, can | be ballyvhooed into a title match, al-| though the fact that their match was | declared & draw lcaves room for fur- | ther argument and another substantial | ate. | .

Or. if there is only one title tilt. a final | elimination between the two Jacks. De- laney and Dempsey, would furnish an sttractive melee. As this observation tower has sug- ! gested before, there is little question that Delaney’s backers have high hopes of building him up for one of the main bouts of the vear. The erratic French Canadian always has been a big drawing card from the time he knocked out Paul Berlenbach four vears ago.

Prior to that time Johnson had never had any experience in ex- ecutive work in base ball. Comiskey became acquainted with Johnson be- fore the “Old Roman” went to Cincin- pnati to manage the ball club in th city, and he was better acquaintes with Johnson after the latter had writ- ten about Comiskey and his work with the Cincinnati club. Johnson at that time was on the staff of a Cincinnati newspaper. Comiskey Had His Way. Some men in the Western League did not want Johnson as president, but Comiskey did and he had his way. When he took Johnson from Cincin nati to become president of the West- ern League, Comiskey did not know that the time would come when he would ally himself with opponents of Ban Johnson to vote the latter out of as much power as possible in base ball affairs. The so-called Comiskey-John- son feud also has become a part of base ball history.

HURLERS NOW FIND RECORDS TOD HIH Big Train's Great Pitching Feats Not Threatened by Youngsters. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, January 16.—With the arrival of the New Year ‘Walter Johnson's army of ad- mirers may scan the record books and moan because the great pitcher will not go forward in | 1928 to attain still further heights in the major leagues which no other | pitcher ever reached. Well, Walter has gone to the minors, to manage the Newark team of the In. ternational League, and the year won't | be the same to the citizens of Wash- | ington, D. C. Whein the “big train” retired from the Washington club at the end of the 1927 season, he left behind him many maximum records for American League pitchers. Walter pitched the most years in the American League ever credited to a pitcher. If he could have gone one more year he would have tied the record of Cy Young, and then if he could have gone a little further he ! would have set a new world mark. Twenty-five vears as a pitcher means {a quantity of work that can be calcu- | lated only by estimate. Made Over 100,000 Pitches. Walter took part in 802 American League scheduled games. If you as- sume that he swung his arm 110 times for each of those games o pitch to | the batter, the total product of that | right arm was 88,220 pitches. Any one | doubting that to be a task should make it a stunt and try to do it for fun and not for hire. The estimated 110 per game may be too low for Johnson, as VheAv;;s pmdl:nl with his arm. to these 88.200 pitches about |22.000 for exhibition and practice there will be a healthy total of about 1110,000.

His’ strikeout record may be beaten some day, but not by any of the present. type of pitchers. They lack two things, and the greater of the two is speed. It never has been possible actually to measure speed of a pitcher to the mi- nutest fraction, but the observation of batters and catchers is that Johnson had more continuous speed than any other pitcher except perhaps Young. The total major league strikeouts ac- credited to Johnson will be three short of 3,500. He ran away from ail rivals and cotemporaries in that exhibit of pitching skill. No One Near His Records. No one is within reach of him in the American League, and the pitcher most successful in that respect in the Na- tional League—Christy Mathewson— has passed on. Matty was decidedly different from Johnson as a strikeout pitcher. Matty had speed, but not con- tinuous speed. His strikeouts came to him as the success of his fadeaway, when that whimsical drop ball, oozing toward the ground, was holding him at the height of his skill ‘There is one record made by Johnson | which is confirmation of his great peed rather than evidence of a lack of control. He made more wild pitches in one scason than any other Amer- ican League pitcher, and that was be- cause he put such’ speed behind the ball that no catcher could reach it. Leon Ames has that record in the Na- tional League. He was an old Giant pitcher. and, like Johnson, he had speed and much of it. His wildness was more because of the terrific twist that he put on the ball. His curve would curve away from the control of the | catcher 10 feet from the home plate. Johnson tied with Joe Wood for con- secutive victories in_his league, each having 16, and he led his league six times in winning the most games in a | season. There are other little records | that he has here and there, and all of | them such records as would be expected from a pitcher of abnormal specd. TARY: 16, 1928, SCHALK HAS UNPLUGGED HOLES IN SOX LINE-UP (This is the eleventh of a_ series o) articles on major league base ball clubs.) By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, January 16.—One by one, at' prices which set rec- ords in major league base ball sales, the Chicago White Sox have been acquiring high- priced youngsters to rebuild the team wrecked in 1920. And if those ac- quired in recent years last “until all the positions are filled, the Sox even- tually will have a club to be reckoned with in the American League. Half a milllon dollars has been laid out by Owner Charles A. Comiskey in repairing the damage wrought by the Black Sox scandal of 1919-1920. Top- notch youngsters are so scarce and | so difficult to obtain with 15 other clubs in the bidding that unplugged holes appear in the Sox line-up. For places unfilled by expensive youngsters Comiskey has been forced to fall back ng‘ the best of the old-timers obtain- able. Expensive Rookie Shortstop. Ray Schalk's big deal for the Sox was the purchase of Chalmer Cissel for $123,000, a record price. At short stop he will be alougside a $100,00¢ purchase of a few years back, Willi Kamm at third.
