be charged with eleven defeats and TWEEN
tr-two victories. There are two games
which he did not pitch entirely, but is
charged with-one in Detroit May %,
which he tried to save for Gray, but was
hit hard. and another in Chicago.
But the remarkable difference in his
performance is shown In the fact that
seventy six runs were scored in the
games with which he is charged as hay-
ing lost, while but fifty runs were scored
in the twenty-five games he won. In
other words. opposing teams averaged
seven runs off of his delivery in the
games he lost and just about two and a
half in those he won. 1t is therefore
easy to realize that Johnson would have
won all the games he has pitched this
condition early In the season The diff
ference in the number of games lost as
shown by the scores and the unofficial
averages is probably due to the fact that
johnson. was not charged with the loss

relieved Gray with the Nationals in the
lead, and one he pitched in Chicago May

beaten him, while st. Louis has gone
down before him five times. having failed
to win single game this year or last.
Johnson has pitched but five shut outs,
but has not been shut out himself dur
Ing the season. OF the remaining games
which remain on the schedule twenty
three in number, Johnson should pitch
about six, and with an even break Of
luck he is apt to win every one of these,
which, il some Of the other leaders among
the pitchers should have an upset or two,
Is very apt to make him the leading
pitcher in the league. which, when the
fact is considered that he is with a team
which is next to last, will be a most re-
markable record.
This is Johnson's fourth year in the
American League. and while he made
poor start. 1t is undoubtedly his most sue
cessful season He seems to improve with
every game, and should he be fortunate
enough to start the next campaign in
good health he is very apt to establish
a new pitching record for the American
League

HUNTINGTON, L. l., September g.
Superior speed and construction and per-

The Pioneer was within 100 feet of the
Dixie at the second stake boat OF the sec
ond round. after gaining 200 feet during
the first round In turning the west
stake buoy, however, Noel Robbins,
steering the Pioneer, put on all speed.
The engines would not stand it and there
was a collapse.
The Pioneer stopped. The Dixie In
creased her lead from 100 feet to half
mile, then mile and then four miles,
while the crew Of the Pioneer strained
themselves to overcome the difficulty.
After gaining this advantage, however.
the Dixie slackened speed. making no
effort to more than hold the race safe.
Robbins and his crew by hard work got
the engines on the Pioneer to working
and she got back into the race before
the Dixie had entered the second leg or
the third lap, and with the ADDED handl-
cap against them gamely re-entered the
race, going the pace for three rounds.
Long after two of the American boats
had finished the Pioneer approached the
finish and then she had another blow
