j. j. Callahan kept the White Sox in
first place by using Walsh as club to
beat down the opposition. The spitbaL
king worked faithfully and well. but
the pinches came too often-Callahan
used him up.
Walter Johnson. numbering In from the
field, is no less awe-inspiring than Walsh
He hasn't the look of contempt. He isn't
graceful. But he bulks big. and there
is not batter in the league that does
not know that II johnson wants to take
the chance of starting a private grave
yard OF his own. a base hit Is impossible
Going into the box in pinch, with
men on, and the game turning against
Washington. he uncorks everything he
has. 1t Is the hospital for a batter who
stops the ball with his body, the under
taker for the one who stops 1t with his
head.
Gregg causes just as much terror to the
opposing club wielders when called upor
TO rip loose in a pinch. Davis hasn't used
the plasterer much in the rescuing act
but when he has Sylvanus has delivered

Spain has actually copied the Yankee customs OF
