THE KING OF THEM ALL
 WAS WALTER JOHNSON

'NS N@ I'N
 Every city has a best pitcher in the world. In Chicago they will tell you confidently that it is Ed Walsh. Philly has it's Plank i; Brooklyn. Fucker; Boston knows that it is Joe Wood, and in New York Marquard is the greatest ever But if you really want to know just who is the greatest pitcher in the game today, ask the players themselves-they certainly ought to know. They will tell you that it is Walter Johnson! That's the good word, Johnson, the Speedy" So say they all. Cobb, Jackson, Chase, ct al; they will tell you so unhesi- tatingly. And what is more, they seemingly ought to know whereof they speak, so We can be pardoned for referring to Walter Johnson as the greatest.
 It was with some awe that we ap- preached this king of pitchers-you know how kings are sometime. but we have been treasured that Wal ter was a perfectly good king and quite harmless. A large, likable. quiet fellow he was, raw-boned Kansas farmer still, popular among his fellow players and small gather ings of friends-small because he does not make friends like he pitch es. Kindly-looking honest eyes greet you as you approach. Light blue they are, almost too light, and containing a depth of feeling and radiating the saddest of rays.
 There is nothing very speedy about Johnson except his pitching. Otherwise he Is slow as law. He moves slowly. talks slowly and eats and sleeps like walter; he even runs his motor car in an "out-of gasoline" manner. But maybe that account for his smoky pitching. Maybe he utilizes and concentrates every particle of speed in his sys- tenn into that good right arm
 Well, I really couldn't say how l throw them so fast" drawled John son. T always could throw hard even as boy. It's the way l throw, guess. I mean 1t isn't due to strength of arm. have seen lit, tie fellows throw much farther and faster than stronger and bigger men. Take for instance the little lady who holds the worlds record for throwing the baseball for women. She was a mere slip of a girl, yet was able to throw farther than most men,"
 No, I never trained for speed" answered Walter.
 Neither have I undergone any course of development to produce it except to grow up in sunny, South ern California"
 "A native?" I asked hopefully.
 No, not quite. was born in Humboldt, Kan. November 6. 1888, but moved to California when a youngster of IA. It was near Los Angeles my folks moved. and near that place that I learned to play ball"
 AS Johnson dislikes to talk We will talk for him and save him that

FILIPINO PEOPLE"
NAME OF JOURNAL
Resident Delegate from Pacific Pos
sessions Starts Publication
of His Own.

Manuel Quezon. resident delegate from
the Philippines. is to publish a monthly
magazine called The Filipino People.
and thus become the only member of
Congress that ever issued a publication
in the interests of his constituency.
The publication is intended to promote
the independence of the Philippines
to inform the public of actual conditions
there and of the Filipinos' desire for in
dependence. and TO urge Americans to
carry out the past pledges to that effect
made by their accredited representa-
tives."
Mr.. Quezon's new journal will contain
the frank statement on its editorial page
that it officially represents the views OF
the Filipino constituents of Mr.. Quezon.
The undertaking has been carried on
without consultation with the Bureau of
Insular Affairs and is bold defiance OF
the Philippine Commission.
Mr. Quezon. as editor of the journal.
says in a rForeword'
To promote the great cause OF Phil
ippine independence. TO clear away cur
rent misconceptions respecting the char
acter of the Filipino people and their
capacity for self-government, to show
the practica bility and esirability of set
ting up an independent republic in the
archipelago-these are the objects of the
Filipino people We deem the time pro-
pitious for pressing this sacred cause-so
dear TO the hearts of the F1lipinos-in the
forum OF public opinion. In the years
that have gone by since tirst American
occupation OF the Philippines. rapid ana
extensive progress has been made by the
t1lipinos IN education, in Industrial eff1-
cheney, and in the art and practice OF
seIf-government. National consciousness
has developed through the diffusion Of
learning and the spread OF political dis
cussion. No longer can II be said that
the FIIipinos are divided IN opinion or
separated In action. They have become
truly a people, united and inspired by
common passion for freedom, animated
by heroic purpose to achieve an inde-
pendent national entity"
