then begin to figure Just what this
means. Less than two bases on balls
have been given by the great twirler
per game since his advent in the
league.
AS to strikeouts, johnson has gone
along at a great gait. In almost every
game from three to fifteen batters
whiffed the air. The total number Of
CtrikeOuts for the great hurler is 1,3li
in six years, which frames up better
than 200 per year and something over
per game. In 1910 he started his lead
in strikeouts with 3O3 and since then
has not been topped by any major
league pitcher.
Control Grows Better.
Strange as it may seem. Johnson is
getting better all the time. glance
at the futures show that his control
is becoming better and better. Right
now he possesses as much speed, If not
more than he ever has in previous
years. In 1903 he passed eight-five bat
ters. the next year seventy-four, in 1911
he walked sixty-three. while last sea-
son but seventy-two went to first on
free tickets. This year, having pitched
in but ten games less than the number
in which he worked last season, he has
walked out thirty-one batters, and at
his present rate will have passed but
fort!y-one during the year.
This bettcr control idea Is further
proven by the fact that he is causing
batters to hit to the f1elders instead of
depending on his speed to strike them
out flaming but Isl batters so far he
is somewhat under the average, but his
opponents have gotten fewer hits.
This year Johnson has accomplished
wonders. With "a wins and losses. he
has shut out his opponents ten times
IL L. -
games, his team failing to get runs for
him. Practically all of his losses have
been by one or two runs, and in but one
instance, a game with Cleveland. has
he failed to check the opposition.
He has pitched four 2-hit contests this

An Analysis of His Six Years in Big League Makes Other
il. Records Fade Away.

Walter Perry johnson is the greatest
pitcher in the world.
The statement has been made before,
and has often been challenged by old
timers. who pointed to old Hoss''
Radbourne, Mickey Welch. Amos Rusie,
John Clarkson, Tim Keefe and the
hosts Of others who did slab duty in
other days under other and vastly diff
ferent conditions.
Walter Johnson is the greatest pitcher
in the world because he is so dubbed
by the men actively engaged on the
baseball field. His associates of the dia-
n.cnd say that he is most feared, Is
the best in the business. and that if
there were others better than johnson
their records must prove it beyond a
shadow of a doubt.
Johnson's greatness lies IN his ability
20 pitch better than any other man
pitched before. His curve combined
with his terrific fast ball is what en-
sbles him to fool the opposition. Aside
from this, he can call a reserve force
into rlay because he is physically a
giant. Equipped with long, powerful
arms-his reach is something like sew
enty-six inches-he can hurl the ball
over the plate with the speed of rife
bullet.
His Terrific Speed.
1t has been estimated that Johnson
delivers the ball from his hand to the
catcher's mitt in something like half
second This shows that the rate of the
hall is 122 feet per second, fifty feet
per second faster than the fastest train
travels

lated at 100 pounds. or about half the

Today Walter Johnson begins his
seventh year i'm the American League.
No. other pitcher in his first six years
of big league baseball has approached
in any way the marks set up by wal
ter Johnson. In the six full years of
service he has succeeded in making a
showing that is truly remarkable
To date he has pitched with good and
bad teams behind him. in 225 games, or
Der of nIne-inning games. His grand
total for six years is 132 wins and
eighty-nine losses, an average of .597.
This mark, however. is quite wonderful
when ii is considered that in four years
of this time the washington team was
either in seventh or eighth place
Average 6.4 Hits Per Game.
During Johnson's major league career
he has allowed the opposing teams
1.4S5 hits. a large number for a total,
but his average per game just ga
hits. In this number Of games he has
allowed but 544 runs to be scored off
him, the ridiculously low figure of "a
runs per contest. In other words, john
son has allowed in all the six years of
twirling less than two and one-half runs
per game, asking his team to get but
three runs per game for him to annex
a victory.
In all six years johnson has passed
but 3g1 batters, which is averaging IL
bases on balls per game. Calculate his
terrific speed In this computation and

gers who sailed from Seattle on the
steamship State OF California were

Seven of the crew are dead, making
the total dead forty.
These figures: of the number of pas

Steamship company. They cannot be
verified by the purser, who lost all

of the fifty-four passengers booked to
