About twenty members of the Shef- field freshmen started in late last even ing to work off some of their exuberant spirits-due presumably to their joy at completing their first year as Yale men. They marched about the center

 places of refreshment. As they were returning up street it was thought that a journey through the dining room of the Tontine hotel would be just the thing.
 but in coming out one of the plate glass windows of the entry door was broken. To their credit 1t may be said that the crowd took ID a collection to pay for the damage-w which, by the way, did not cover the damage popular with men who keep public places

WASHINGTON CLAIMS TO HAVE LANDED
THE PITCHING PHENOM OF SEASON

enough to be placed with the stars.
Walsh was minor Lacquer. and fo'
two seasons was only a fair man for
the White Sox. Bill Donovan was cav
ried by both Brooklyn and Washington
for several years before he was a real
pitcher. and Mathewson had several
years of minor league experience be-
fore he came TO New York and then he
lacked control, and it required a year
or two to develop him.
Not one of the lot was in Johnson's
class when they broke into fast com
pany. Johnson made good from the
outset, and he has shown improvement
with every game. He is the only
youngster that ever broke into ia st
company who has absolute control of
the ball. Not one of the others was
reliable in this respect, and control is
the most essential requirement of a

The fact that he has terrific speed
no pitcher has more-not to speak of
| the quick break of his curve and the
! deceptive shoot of his fast ball, ard
his ability to put the ball wherever he
wants to are the secrets of his success.
Johnson is a pitcher whom catcher
can coach.

weakness he has but to hold the glove

Joe Cantillicn, the erstwhile Rock
Island player now manager of the
Washington American league team
claims the pitching find of the season
in Walter Johnson who halls from the
wilds of Idaho. Despite the fact that
the wonder is with the tail-end team
in the American league, he has man.
aged to win four out of ten games he
has pitched during the short time he
has been in big league company.
Never before in the history of base
ball has a young pitcher without even
the slightest minor league experience
made so great a record as has John
SON.
This. of course, may be considered
an extravagant assertion, for Johnson
has been in fast company but six
weeks or thereabout 1t may be ar
gued that he has not had a thorough
trial. and that he must go through
several campaigns before he can BIZ
given the title of champion. and yet
what other pitcher of similar exper

Johnson?

Mr.. Sam Brian of Tuscola. Ills

Dubuque Telegraph-Herald: The
players were jolly. good nature'l
bunch as they sat around their hotel
in farewell session Sunday night. The
fact seemed to console them that they
had made a record in one direction at
least, having won fewer games almos-
than any club in the recent history OF
baseball. 1t was recalled by the men
that the Louisville club won fewer
games about ten years ago than the
Dubuque team did this year, but that
was the only instance that could b.
cited There is another respect IN
which the Dubuque team made 4 recOr
this season, and that is in the number
of men who were tried out on the ag
gregation from time to time. One play
er facetiously remarked that there had
been almost enough men on the Dd
buque team this summer to form d
league of itself.
