BIG SWEDE is AFTER
MARQUARD'S RECORD

Persistent predictions that Walter
Johnson. the Terrible Swede, will
prove the greatest pitcher in the game
are in fair way OF being fulfilled.
On August IL Johnson eQualed the
American League record of conse-
cutive wins, held by Jack Chesbro.
who put up a mark OF IA victories in
a row while pitching for the High
landers in 1904. Since then Johnson
has won two games. bringing his re-
cord up to 16 straight.
Johnson has announced that he Is
not content with one record, but is out
70 beat the authenticated record Of
10 straight held by Rube Marquard
and Tim Keefe.
The big Swede is earnest and am
bilious, and is probably the most
powerful pitcher in either Of the big
leagues today. Johnson's admirers
say that II he equals Marquard's re-
cord they will consider It a greater
feat than Rube's The reason given
is that Johnson will have TO accom-
plish the feat without the aid OF a
powerful team like the Giants.
During his acquisition OF 16 straight
victories Johnson has pitched 40 In
nings and has allowed only 90 hits.
Clarke Griffith has worked the Swede
once every three days. After July 90.
when he had won seven starlight
games. he pitched II innings TO a tic
against the ST. Louis Browns. In
figuring on Johnson's great work that
game must be taken into considera-
ton. IN one game has he allowed
more than eight hits. On August 5 he
beat the White Sox by three runs 10
:, allowing only two hits.
Johnson's forte is his great speed.
Wahoo Sam Crawford. the Detroit
slugger. was asked recently whether
Johnson or Joe Wood OF the Red Sox
has the faster ball. johnson by ali
means said Sam. 81 find Il easier
20 hit Wood because johnson pitches
ball You can't see And what you
can't ser you can't hit"
Following is Johnson's great re
cord TO date:
tJuly New York, 10 TO 2. hits
July 9 cleveland, 4 to 3. s hits.
July 13-Chicago. 4 to 2, hits.
July 15-Chicago, Z 10 2. z hits.
