Walter Johnson, the pitching phenom
from Idaho. reported to Manager Cantil-
Ion yesterday afternoon. lie left Weiser,
the town In which he won fame as a
bauplayer, Monday. and arrived here too
late for yesterdays game.
Johnson is 4 tall. rangy youth of nine
teen years. weighing about $50 pounds.
and is about six feet one inch in height.
Despite his great records in the box in
the Ida9o State League, Johnson is un-
usually modest
Speaking Of his career on the diamond,
Johnson said: Il never played a game of
ball until three years ago, when started
in as a catcher on an amateur team IN
my home town, near Los Angeles, Cal.
After catching a few games, 1 tried my
hand at twirling. and have been pitching
ever since.
I realize that an experience of only
three years is pretty short, and know
that 1t is pretty hard picking in the
American League
Had TO Pad Teams.

the teams were not very strong. but as
soon as Weiser commenced to trim every
thing in that country. the other towns
began importing players and we had to
hustle to win our games. Up TO the time
that l was signed by Washington 1 had
eighty-six innings without being scored
upon, but in the next game we ran up
against a team which was padded with
players from California. and we were
beaten. l TO 0. in an eleven-inning game.
That broke my winning streak.
Before / came here had not met any
members Of the Washington club except
Blankenship and Dave Altlzer. Two years
ago when I was, seventeen, l pitched
against Altizer. He played on a team
from Pomona. Cal, and he succeeded in
getting hit. and the game was one Of the
best played in which have ever taken
part.
4 haYe never received any coaching.
and I suppose that VIII be a big handicap.
