Speaking % of Sports i TR Why has Walter Johnson lasted so ong as a big league pitcher? 1n all probability there was never a more popular idol than Johnson. Even partisan fans hate to see their favor- ite team besdt him. However, the greatest test of a player's popularity is measured among his fellow play- ers. It is not putting it too strongly to say that every American lLeague viayer has the greatest admiration for \Waiter Johnson. Lighteen years ago Johunson mad lLis American League debut, an un- LWnown. r8okie. Ilis pitching made \im famous overnight. He has con- istently held that fame by his sterl- ing performances and his likeabie manner. Of the players who were in the American League when Johnson made his debut, Ty Cobb alone mains, Every pitcher in the organi zation at that time has out, Johnson has seen hundreds of twirl- ers come and go. passed There are many ter Johnson has outlasted hundreds of big league pitchers, why after 1§ vears of service he is still ons of the outstanding stars of the American Lengue, In the first place, Johnson lives right. Dissipation of any kind is un- known to him. Baseball is his liveli- hood, his business, and he caters to it most carefully, Another potent fac- tor in Johnson's long and successful career is his method of delivery, His res, easy, graceful style that places great strain on the arm, has en- bled him to go merrily on year after ar. A jerky delivery can ruin more pitehing arms than any other one thing. A desive ta merely win rather than create individual performances has also helped Johnsen defy IFather Time, Onee Johnson is given a woiking margin of a few runs, he cases up, ind tries to hold that lead with the cast possible effort, 1f pressed he puts on extra steam. In one game Tohnson had 10 strikeouts in the first ve innings. It looked as if he would surely br i the American vecord, In the sixth inning his team- mates gave Him a four-run lead, With « tomfortable margin Johuson worl A under wraps the rest of the game 1 struck ont only two men in the t four inni JTohnson has outlusted all other first because naty hint with wonderful ability, and sec- has had the good udgment to congerve that ability, pitelhers, e endowed hecauss he )t the skidding Glan Luqus, the temperamental Cuban, \as As temperamental as usual yes- terday and got chased to the showers, it not before the Braves had bumped m sufficiently to have the lost game | walked up againat him Alix of Meriden defeated Arnoys of New Maven five out of viing match last night nine {n the 1 Teller took Fido O'Bri deteated Wealeyan L taking & 5-0 game fro m the 1 Gi sterday of Winsted, 610, 3 Mouth's baseballers #lapped I'rinity all over the lot yesterday | von easily, 17 to 0, Cyddy DeMarco and Lew Paluso, ahie meet in Waterbury on the 234, be preceded In the ring by Er 1«3 and Young Silverberg, W igrue and Young Luby. t¢!
