Chicks Double HeadeEaem HanaOdds and Ends of Local
SAYS WALTER JOHNSON is
BETTER THAN RADBOURNE

NEW YORK. July lo.-Foxy Clark
Griffith, whose memory runs back to the
days OF the giant Rusie and the won
derful Radbomne. declared before leav-
ing this city that Walter johnson is the
greatest pitcher that ever lived
Not only does the Washington man
ager declare that the big blond boxman
is the greatest twirler that ever threw
a ball. but the most remarkable as we'll.
The latter viewpoint regarding John
son on the part Of Griffith, comes from
the managers implicit faith that John
son will be pitching for 10 years more
in the game and with as much "stuff, "
as it is termed, as he ever possessed.
Griffith rccollects well Old Horse Rad
bourne in the days when the latter's
everyday efforts would have put the
modern iron man to shame.
Griffith states that for n day in and
day out hurler nobody ever approached
Charlie. but the game in those days re-
quned less from a pitcher than the pas
time Of the present. Radbourne declares
Griffith, was mighty man on the
mound. but he was not TO be compared
with Johnson on the score of innate
pitching power.
Mathewson, according to Griffith. rs an
artist IL was not alone the fact that
Matty has stuff. but he exercises copious
thought with his arm, and once he
knows n batter's weakness never varies
from feeding that hitter the sort of
balls he cannot hit
Better Than Matty.
But johnson is beyond even Mattv in
the mind of Crit. Rusie. the former
says he has pitched against time and
again, and Griffith corrects the impress
sion regarding the husky Hoosier. II
has always been supposed that speed was
the great asset Of Amos. Grif declares
this not to be the fact
Rusies prime pitching possession,
declares the old fox, was his curve.
II was not a drop but a sidearm
curve that broke sideways and was
under the absolute control of its mas
ter
Believe me-" said the Washington
] leader in a reminiscent vein. 1--WE
| seen them all come and go. but John
son is the greatest of the lot
don't say this merely because he hap
pens to be a member OF my club.
] mean that from the bottom of my
heart Radhourne Rusie. Matty. all
Of them, were wonders. but none OF
them was as good as Johnson. Wal
ter has everything You hear a loi
Of wiseacres talk about his speed, as
{ il that we're the only thing that he
/ possessed. This is a mistake He has
la wonderful curved ball, a change
of pace. and I wouldn't be surprised
mite if some day he cultivates a
/ splitter.
And again he uses his head con
stantly There is noncofthem bii
wiser than Johnson and none of then
who takes better care of himself. He
hasn't a single habit that would i'm
pair his ability or hurt his usefulness
He is big and strong, and I'm GER

good Is years from now.

WASHINGTON, July 10. - The
pitching sensation of the season is
Joe Boehling. of the local team. This
young left handler has shown that he
is one of the best pitchers that have
broken into the big leagues in some
time. Right now he is leading all the
twirlers in the junior baseball organ
ization In games won, with nine
straight to his credit Boehling is
the only southpaw with the team
He had always been wild and was
not considered much more than an
experiment until a month ago How
ever Jack Ryan, the old time back
stop, and Nick Altrock, once a star
southpaw slaber for the White Sox.
continued to work with Bochling.
Manager Griffin insisting that the
youngester from the Virginia capital
had the stuff. Suddenly he showed IT,
In that blistering heat of Cleveland
recently the smiling singer baffled
the heavy hitting Naplanders through
seven innings, losing control aud
strength in the heat after the team
was leading by a wide margin. He
showed his nerve by coming back at
the Maps week or so later and Civ
ing them FIVE hits, winning 6 to 3
handy fashion. When a green pitcher
can lose control, fill the bases and
then force Larry La ajoie to hit at a
bad one, shooting a high fly and clos
ing the frame without a run, why,
that kid has something. Boehling did
this. With Johnson. Cashion. Groom
and Boehling going well Manager
Griffith believes his team will make a
grand finish in the American league
penant race.
