sTRIkEoUT KING.
Walter Johnson Leads Both Leagues
 In Tanning Eaters.

It Is little bit early to print stories about what will happen in baseball next year, but one Of the things that is pretty sure is that Walter Johnson will pass the 1900 mark in strike outs unless he breaks his priceless arm or decides to abandon the national game, The man who was voted the most valuable player in the American league last season has, since he en- tered fast company. claimed l4b8 stril1e-out victims. No other major league hurler has, in the seven con- secutive seasons from 1907 to 1913, amassed this total of whiff exploits in fact, only three ether men have famed over 1000 ball players in this length of time. These three are Ed Walsh. Nap Fucker and Christy Mathewson.
 Big Ed Walsh the spitbalL star of the White Sox, has been Johnson's closest rival for the title of the sLrlI<e- out king of the majors. The Chi cagOan has compelled 1405 of his op- pOnents to take the whiff route to the bench since he has been a contempor- ary of the illustriouS Washingtonian, Walsh twirled only 16 games last season, but from 1907 to 1913, in elusive, he has been in 48 more bat ties than has the renowned Kansan.
 Christy MatheWson has famed 1137 men in the last seven campaigns and Nap Rucker 112S. Eddie Plank Connie Mack's peerless pOrtsider, aI- most reached the 1000 mark in that time, 997 of his adversaries taking the strtkeout count. Chief Bender claimed

 Coach Haughton took several foot balls along with the Crimson squad, but it was announced that hard work was over and that any further practice would be in the nature of light finish ing touches. Mahan win be given op- portunity to kick more spiralS tomor- row.
 Harvard Students Watch Practice.
 The Harvard squad of 28 men. five less than the number which the Yale coaches brought to Auburndale left Cambridge with the cheers of 7, 300 un- dergraduates ringing in their ears. The students saw their team practice for the first time in more than a month, after the squad had held a secret session of half an hour. O'Brien was not in the lineup, having been al- lowed a day of rest. but Bradlee. who had been absent since the Brown game, resumed his place in the back field. The players will stay at the Nesper club until late Saturday morn ing, returning to Cambridge shortly after noon.
 The Yale squad will visit the stadium tomorrow mornir~ for a short practice period in which the backfield men will have an opportunity to study the ef- feet of the shadows of the amphithea- ire on their activities in catching and running down punts. The kicl1ers vii! be instructed also as to peculiarities of air currents within the bowl.
 The movement of the spectator army gathered strength tonight and Boston hotels received many guests who had made reservations months in advance.
 Head Coach Jones of the Yale team had not decided tonight whether he would protest against Harvard's use of the shift which is an important part of it's offensive ta cites.
 q am going to take a look over the formation, he said, and if there is anything illegal about it, 1 shall take it up with the officials before the game.
