Smokeball johnson, Manager Griffith
expects to use the Kansas Whirlwind
from now on as a rescue man. Iruch
as Big Ed Walsh has been used for
years. 1t has frequently been said that
johnson was a poor man to send to the
rescue Of a weaker twirler, that he
never did his best unless he started
the game, and was allowed to pitch 1t
all the way through. The fallacy OF
this argument has been shown up al
ready this season. the big fellow twice
going to the rescue of crumbling fling

Will Take Regular Turn.
OF course. sending johnson to the
rescue whenever needed will not inter-
fere with his twirling in regular turn.
The day following his regular battle
will hardly see him again in acton. but
after that he will be available when
ever needed. The big scythe has now
pitched in six games, being credited
with winning FIVE Of them. For tnirty-
