The features of the second game

PITCHING MARVEL.
Walter JOhnson's New Record
in Baseball History.
His Feat of Shutting Out the
Yankees Was Wonderful.
3 SUCCESSIVE GAMES.
The New Workers Think 1t Case
of Too Much johnson.
The Washington Twirler Only
Recently From Idaho.

New York, Sept. 17.-Walter John
son. of the Washington team, is surely
a pitching marvel
His wonderful feat of shutting out
the New York Americans on three
probably stand long in the annals of
baseball. if not forever.
Although not twenty-one years of
age, he is already regarded as one of
the greatest pitchers in the American
league. A few more years of exper-
fence, provided he doesn't meet with
any accident, should round him into a
class by himself. The fact that john
on came from the wilds of Idaho direct
to the American league makes his
work all the more remarkable.
On Friday, September 4, he opposed
the Highlanders and won his game in
easy STYLE to 0. On Saturday he re-
peated the dose to 0. Sunday was
a day of rest, but on Monday he again
slipped over the whitewash trick, to
o. The most wonderful feature about
his work was the fact that he got bet
ter, the more he pitched. In the open
er he allowed six hits, in the second
game three bingles and in the third
only two safe drives, making in all
eleven hits in three games.
OF the eleven hits, only five were
of the clean-cut variety. Ollie Pick
ering misjudged a fly ball badly and
dropped it after a hard run, while an
other hit fell safe while several of the
visiting athletes were trying to decide
who should take it. Three were in
field taps that the runner just beat, at
least the umpire said so, but he would
have escaped mobbing even if he had
declared the New Workers out, as all
the Yankee rooters appeared to be
pulling for the Western cyclone. In
the last two games johnson was I'M
usually steady, not issuing single
pass.
Had it not been for an accident
Johnson would have probably worked
both the games on LABOR oay. IN tne
seventh inning of the first game, one
of Chesbro's fast ones got away from
him and found a resting place in john
sons back. 1t put him down and out
for a minute. but he gamely finished,
although suffered much pain.
CantiIlon thought three shut outs
enough and refused to take any
chances.
series. i'm commenting on his perform
ance, said:
.sIt was the greatest pitching feat
I've ever seen or expect to see. john
son is certainly a wonderful pitcher
and he appeared just as good at the
end of the third game as when ne
started the first His speed was as
great. but his fast ball had lost much
of its jump, and it's the rise on the
fast one that makes him hard to hit.
His control was wonderful and 1 don't
believe he passed more than couple
of men in the three games. He's GER
tainIy star and ought to get petter all
the time"

Boston, Sept 17.-Forty-five men
formed the Harvard squad that had the
first football practice of the year today
on Soldiers field. This is many more

day Unusual. too, was the amount
and diversity of practice. A short talk
to the men was followed by a setting

simple formations. Ten coaches were
out, Coach Haughton and Capt. Burr
being in charge. About 40 of the 45
candidates out were new men.

Maynard Chicks Follow Family Cat.

A hen belonging to luther Carrot
has refused to eat and mingle with
other chickens for several days, be-
cause her brood persists in following
the family cat about the place. The
only time the hen enjoys the compan-
ionship of her chicks is when the cat is
closed up in a box. The moment the
cat is set at liberty it seems to take
delight in alternating the affections of
the chicks and soon has them follow
ing it. Mr.. Carrot believes the old hen
will grieve herself to death unless the
cat is kept away. The cat is now a
prisoner for an indefinite term

The important Friday and Saturday
games between Topeka and Wichita will
be reproduced by wire at the Olympic.
Selby will probably not work again
this season. His right arm is sore and
leader is strained so badly that he
can't get his arm to a level with his
shoulders. This is to be regretted as
Selby has pitched great ball for the
Cooleysix. During his career with the
locals he has won 20 and lost games.
With Enid he won 5 and lost 6, which
would make his record for the season
25 victories to IL defeats.
There will be no series with the Sioux
City team. Cooley received a wire from
Ducky Holmes to the effect that the
Sioux would take a trip through
the northwest and would not Deem as far
south as Kansas. The Omaha team
will, however, be here for five games.
These games will be played September
"a, 25, 26 and q, the latter date being
Sunday, and a double header will be
played here on that date. These games
will be fully as interesting as any seen
here this season as the Omaha team
will all play. the whole team appear
ing here with the exceptions of cou-
pie of pitchers.
If the pennant fund is paid up in
full by that time, presentation will
take place between the games of the
double header, week from Sunday,
when Omaha is here. Moral: Please

ing editor Of either paper.
The strain Of the past home series
has been too much for Cooley and he
is about worn out While the team Is
on the road Dick will take a trip to
his fishing camp at Maple Hill, where
he will perform few piscatoriai
stunts. DR.. Andrews will be in charge
of the pennant winners.
Umpire Finney, who has worked
through the Webb City series, has CIV
en- complete satisfaction to both sides.
He is a quiet unassuming official and
is in no sense of the word a homer.
Just why he should have been relega-
ted to the o. K. league is hard to
see.
One of the hardest series of the sea
son will be played with the Jobbers
today and the remainder of the week
The Jobbers have little show now, but
they are playing great game and
have no love for the Topeka team.
The locals left last night for job
berville where the most exciting series
of the season will be played. Despite
yesterdays QOuDle QOSe or defeat, the
pennant isn't so far off. Three more
games won will put the locals in the
clear. One game won in Wichita and
another won in Hutchinson will win the
rag for when Topeka wins from Wich-
tia it puts the Jobbers back a notch,
Abbott is in charge of the team on
the trip. Cooley will rejoin his Hope
fuls at Hutchinson If the pennant isn't
won by that time.
Cole suffered a fractured nose in the
second game. He stole third, by Slid
ing and when he was about to regain
his feet Kellerman slapped the bali
down on his nose. 1t was a bad day
for casualties.
president Shively promised Cooley
two umpires at Wichita, both SetIev
and Gardner being scheduled to work
there according to the w. A. head.
