~ o sang minor poet OF the
~ major leagues.
MeN9H The hero Of this baseball
W. epic was Walter Johnson,
T31 the marvellous pitcher of
%J the Washington club, who
/ I has just beaten all records
by hurling the ball for Sc consecutive
innings with such skill and cunning
that not a batsman OF an opposing
club has been able to score a run.
Speed was the great factor in the
achievement-dazzling sizzling speed!
The big Idahoan's delivery is like the
flight of a shell. The mightiest hit
ters of the American league are as
helpless as town lot players when
Johnson turns loose his fastest ball;
"Ty" Cobb, Home Run" Baker and
Jackson alike are babes in his hands.
Johnson's amazing swiftness in
pitching is no mere fancy. 1t has
been scientifically measured. In the
testing room Of the Remington Arms
company at Bridgeport, Conn, John
son showed that his right arm could
hurl the baseball at the rate OF 122
feet a second! 1t was acknowledged
that he could do even better, because
in athletic parlance he was not
warmed up. 1t is well known that
hurler gathers speed as a game
progresses.
Johnson flung the sphere through
a In ,f, oh
two feet square. Running from top
to bottom were ten very delicate and
filmy copper wires. These were
broken by the ball, and by an cleo
trical device the moment of passage
was accurately timed Five yards
away was a steel plate and the i'm
pact of the ball on this barrier again
caused the electric clock to register.
Thus the exact time of the balls fight
was mathematically determined
The velocity obtained by Johnson
is all the more extraordinary when
1t is known that bullet from the
new government As automatic pistol
travels 500 feet per second
A high power hunting rifle. .35 cali
Der, auto-loading, travels 1000 feet
per second.
The Twentieth Century limited, the
fastest long-distance train in the
world, makes the 97S7 miles from
New York to Chicago in just 20 hours,
or an average speed of 48.9 miles
every hour. This means a velocity of
nearly 72 feet a second.
Suppose Johnson's speedball kept
on travelling at 122 feet a second right
on toward the Windy City at it's own
hurricane speed. 1t would eat up the
6,163, $40 feet to Chicago in just IL
hours and 4S minutes. The ball

Speaking Of FahIea.

Once upon a time there was a ball
player who seemed to understand that
in any argument with an umpire the
best he could finish was a fuzzy sec
ond.
Realizing which, said ball player
gravely absorbed each decision which
the umpire furnished, and merely let
1t go at that, curbing even the ten
dency toward a rebuttal

almost illiterate, yet when delirieus
in fever, surprised those around her
by repeating long passages Of the
Bible in Hebrew, The kitchen where
the girl spent her evenings adjoined

customed to read aloud. The girl had
not understood or consciously taken
heed Of the reading. yet her mind had
seized upon and stored the phrases.
