rangy Kansas farmer is credited with
working in 81 games during the 1914
dash for the pennant, in which he
struck out 22o men. Johnson finished
third in the ratings, two young Boston

80 games, while Foster, mis- teammate
was second with 1.65. johnson : mari
was LII. While johnson famed the
most men and worked more often than
did any other twirler. he lacked his
deadly accuracy which featured his
pitching in other years. Last summer
he made IA wild pitches and had one
