having won "a games and lost IL. and
with the honor OF holding the worlds
strike-out record, will witness the two
worlds series games scheduled, for
Philadelphia next week. and then de-
part for his home in Coffeyville, Kan,
where, however, he will not remain
long, for he contemplates taking trip
to the coast during the winter.
This is the first year that Johnson
has ever won more games than he has
lost since coming into fast company.
Not that he has not always pitched
brilliant ball but that the team failed
to give HIM the necessary support with
the bat.
Johnson did great work this year. He
was much more seasoned pitcher
than ever before, and next year should

COLLINS LED THE LEAGUE.
Athletics Second Baseman Pilfcrred
LARGE Number of Bases.

Eddie Collins, the stellar and tiny
second baseman of the Athletics. sue
ceeded in grasping one honor mark of
the season for which he has earnestly
and successfully striven through the
year. Eddie is the leading base steal
er of the American league and also Of
major leagues, and has set a mark Of
so stolen bases. which will probably
survive several seasons as a record.
Eddie did not start the season with
the purpose Of breaking the old rec
ord. which was 76, and set last year by
Ty Cobb. He went right along pilfer-
ing, though, and when he saw that
there was a chance to set new rec
ord he continued right straight along
TO the new mark. The result is that
the individual record which Collins set
is not only a mark of honor, hut an
index of the little lads cunning and
speed. This season. too. has seen Col
Inns develop into the best second base
man i'm the game, the hope Of his col
leagues and the despair of his oppon-
cnts.
