Ever since Walter johnson of the
Washington Americans broke into fast
company opposing players have
marveled at his great speed.
With an easy motion Johnson seems
able to send the sphere through space
at such a terrific pace that even
though the batsman knows that the
ball will come on a straight course,
he is unable to meet it with his stick
Johnson gets his speed by reason OF
his wonderful reach. He has longer
arms than any other pitcher in the
country and pitches with the least ef'
fort.
When his arms are stretched out
they measure 77% inches from finger
tips to finger tips This is 2% inches
longer than Jeffries' reach and 5A
inches longer than Jack Johnson's.
When he releases ball after hav'
ing wound up this long right arm 1t

Few, indeed, are the pitchers who
can score strike-out after strike-out
without resorting to the use of curves
or spit balls, as does johnson. He
has frequently struck out three men
on nine pitched balls without ever
using curve.
1t is Johnson's speed that makes
him one Of the most marvellous pitch
ers the game has ever produced, and
it is his great, long arm that gives
him his speed.

IN CERTAIN parts of the city where

cigarette smoking is so common among
ONE that it is no longer a matter
of much comment, there is a strong
feeling that the anti-cigarette agita-

their criticism at one OF two individ-

The practice, it was pointed out. was
not confined to any special few,
but was quite general among fashion
