After Boston had made those three
runs in the first inning, Larry got out
there with the old pep and yelled his

WOODS HUGE WRIST
KEEPS HIM IN GAME

DOSTON. MASS, Oct10.-When

has tremendous speed. But he ac-
quires that speed in such a way
that he can't stand it long. In fact.
although Joe has been pulling his
team out Of the fire very often this
season-he's kept it in second place
Cthe Sox were second them, he is
not going so fast as he used to
travel, and | am af. aid he will soon
cease to be as effective as he is
now, If he does not have to retire
altogether"
Johnson Guessed Wrong.
But Johnson was wrong. Wood

But it is not entirely different. ex-
cept in detail. from the snap ball"
Cy Young used to pitch when he
was a young man. and Cy remained

Walter Johnson made his predic-
ton not in a deprecating way. He
was rather depressed about it. One
great man always admires another.
Johnson hoped that Wood would
change his pace" before it was too
late. He was not a bit fearful of
the rivalry. Johnson is a good fell

and character, as we'll as In body.

his ability, his fast ball Is faster
