JOHNSON IS
SIEAD|ESI
PITCHER
Great Washington HEAVIER
Taken Out of Box But
Once During Season

Walter Johnson not only twirled
more victories last season than any
other American league pitcher. but he
pitched more complete games than
any one else. The Chalmers car win
ner went the route 20 times. only be-
ing knocked off the rubber once. An
other hard worker was Jim Scott OF
the Chicago White Sox. Death Val
ley Jtm' labored in 26 complete
games, while his teammate, Reh Rus
sell, did almost as well. figuring in 25.
George Baumgardner of the Browns
pitched "a full contests. Vean Gregg
and Fred Falkenberg Of the Maps
each 23, George Dauss and Jean Du-
buc of the Tigers each 21, and Ray
Collins of the Red Sox and Roy
Mitchell of the Browns each 20.
OF the champion White Elephants,
Eddie Plank pitched more full games
than any of his teammates. The Get
tysburg Guide" was in IS. while
"Chief" Bender was only In Is. The
Indian was often used by Mack as a
rescuer, none of Macks young pitch
ers, except Shawkey, showing much
cleverness at being able to go the dis
tance.
MACK SWITCHES OFTEN
Mack changed pitchers oftener than
any other American league leader
The Athletic slabmen twirled only 81
complete games, the Browns gunners
turned In 104 full contests. The num-
ber of complete games pitched by the
other hurting stats was as follows:
BY New York. 70; by Boston. rs; by
Washington, rs; by Chicago. "a; by
Detroit, S6, and by Cleveland, 96.
All told there were just II gum
ners who were able to twirI complete
games last year, the men who pitched
10 or more full contests being as fol-
lows.

Wisconsin Commission Likely
to Bar Him for Running
Out on Match
By E. I. GEIGER

CHICAGO. Oct. 2s.--Eddie Nc
Goorty. Oshkosh middle weight. who
shares with Jimmy Clabby the right
to the middle weight crown, may
never don another glove in Wiscon-
sin, and for that may be barred from
participating in any of the rings
where boxing is legal. Steps were
taken today to have the middle
weight barred because OF his failure
to go through with his November
match In Milwaukee with Jack Dill
lon after he had accepted terms and
agreed to the meeting.
The Wisconsin state boxing COM
mission has the case in hand and
will decide it at the next meeting of
that body. Should Eddie be at fault
he will be barred from Badger rings

Taylor Sells Half
Interest in Famous
Boston Red S0x Club

BOSTON, Oct. 2S.-Half ownership
in the Boston Red Sox club will pass
into new hands within a few days or
the prospective new stock holders
may come in under certain conditions
with less than half of the 1000 shares.
Negotia tions-for the sale of part of
the club have been going on for over
a month.
Attorney Charles H. Hill. who has
already acted several times as agent
In the sale of minor league fran
chises, is believed to represent the
prospective new owners of stock in
the Boston club, whose names are
withheld for the time being.
Mr.. Hill when seen today would
neither affirm nor deny he was up to
his tricks again. 1t is known here
that General Taylor. one of the large
stock holders of the club, is desirous
of limiting his investment in base
ball. AS the Taylors hold 90 shares
of the common stock of the Red Sox
club, which stock carries the voting
power, it is safe to assume that the
TAYLOR end has been the object OF AT
torney Hills diplomacy.

for a count of nine He helped
himself to his feet with the aid of
the ropes, but he was so groggy
that, as he attempted to move
out of range of Chips rush, he
fell again and took another
count. Then. as he arose. he ran
plumb into another right cross on
the chin and fell, completely out.
The closing punch was a right.

George Chip, the Scranton middle
Pittsburg the other night in a
Pittsburg ring. Klaus was
knocked cold as a wedge in the
sixth round because Chip shap-
pened" to be the man who got
there first with terrific right
swing. It's not often that one
can call a punch lucky, because
in the very nature of things
every punch that is let fly GER
tainly is meant for some vulner-
able point on an opponents
fighting front. Therefore it can
hardly be called lucky when such
a punch lands unless it happens
that the man who lands it is
groggy at the time and doesn't
know what he's doing.

yT WASN'T luck that enabled
Chip to knock Klaus out either,
according to Jimmy Dime,
Chips manager, but was a clean
cut victory in which the winner
constantly tried the trick that he
finally succeeded in pulling off
in the final round of the affair
There was a trick to it and a
quick one that completely frus-
trated any move that Klaus might
have. made to save himself 1t
was a heavy right swing to the
mid section, followed by a swift
left clip to the chin that put
Klaus down and out for the first
tine in his long and honorable
career.
20 we1l have to score one
more notable achievement for
that good old left punch as
against the right hand drive. Ac-
cording to Dime, it was some
quick thinking that brought home
the scads for the Scranton man.
They had been trying heavily
with their rights for several
rounds, each anxious TO get home
with this member. The fight
ing had been very close up to
the sixth round. In that period
they had been at 1T hammer and
tongs for about a minute, when
Klaus advanced rapidly with his
head down and swinging his
right. Chip stepped close, let go
of powerful right uppercut that
landed just over Franks belt.
It Strengthened the German in a
flash and he dropped his hands
for just an instant. Already Chip
