wALsHs RECORD FOR 1912.
Totals ti6 games,

IN tho year 1919 when Edward
walsh. tho Iron man. OF all modern
pitchers. created and built up one OF
his best pitching records in addition
to his work in games which went the
full route his most brilliant pitching
was In tho role Of ap emergency or
rescue hurler. He was particularly
effective against the New York Amer
leans. and any time the highianders
saw Big Ed warming up. they re-
doubled their efforts 20 get decision
before he reached the mound. When
he got working on the Job the Hill
toppers began to pack their bats ana
all the fight stuff ooxed out OF their
finger tips. In the four games he was
called In to save tho day, he put them
to rout on each occasion.
And when this Boston Red 6ox
turned around and got slant on

In the dim, haxy distance. the cold
chills began to chase UP and down

Ed Walsh In 1919 was called to per-
form the duties Of relief man eighteen
times In fifteen OF them his work had

Just two OF the contests did ne Iaii'
in eight he turned seeming defeat into
victories; and many OF them were
masterfui demonstrations OF the art
OF pinch hitting. In five of them he
stopped all run getting. and saved his
team from almost certain defeat In
the fifteen games. 165 men faced the
Meridian wonder. and managed to make
twenty five hits. a batting average

wouldn't win one game IN ten.
Johnson's Work n Revelations.
walter Johnson's work as relief
pitcher last season was a revelation,
ana perhaps tho finest and most effec-
tive hurting a pitcher ever pulled Off
under any condition, either emergency
or normal. In the eleven times he
was called in by his most astute man
ager to bolster up wavering de-
fense on every. occasion he was sue
ed in blocking the enemy. In eight OF
them he came through victor; In
other words, he stopped the run-get-
ting. and II his teammates didn't win
twas no fault OF the Idaho wonder.
Just one lone tally was registered
against his pitching in thtrty-six IN
nings Of the fiercest kind OF battling.
So Walsh and Johnson stand out
today as rhe ideal emergency hurfcrs

their nerve and ability to deliver the
