WALTER JOHNSON FALLS DOWN
FROM THE MIRACLE ROLE
Great Many Fans Fear Speed King Of the
Slab Has Passed Zenith of His
Spectacular Career.

the ball Fear Of being "beaned" by
one Of Walters bullets kept the batters
away from the plate. Now, as the
story goes. the different clubs are dig
ging In, watching for something over
the plate and cracking it. And as
Johnson depends principally on speed,
the ball will travel fast and far when
hit squarely.
Sox Bombard johnson,
Philadelphia and Chicago gave John
son the most trouble this season. Each
club beat him four times. and was
beaten twice. Each also fought him to
tie once. The Athletics recently
subjected Walter to one of the
hardest bumpings Of his career when
they knocked him off the slab in three
and one-third innings on twelve hits
and eight runs. Following is the rec
ord. per game of each club against
johnson this season:

BY IRVING VAUGHAN.

Has Walter johnson. the speed mar
vel of them all, gone over the hill?
Has the great Washington pitcher
passed the zenith of a spectacular
career?
The above are samples Of questions
that are floating around fandom these
days, when Walter is suffering numer-
GUS setbacks and only occasionally dis
playing flashes Of his one-time PROV
ess. Answers can be made either way,
and there is room for argument.
The records for the season prove
that the Johnson Of this year and the
Johnson of last are two different
pitchers. In the last campaign he cap
tured thirty-two games for Grifith's
Senators and lost only seven. He
topped the league in average earned
runs per game with a mark Of 1.09
With the present race about three
weeks from the finish he shows a rec
ord of twenty-five wins and seventeen
defeats

Reserve Strength Lacking.

Johnson is not the pitcher he was.
Every batter in the American League
will say he is easier to hit this year
than last. Time and again he has
shown the lack of reserve strength
which in the past invariably carried
him across bad inning. In other
years he was known to. fan two or
three batters with two or three rum
ners on base During the present race
he has done this only occasionally. The
following figures show Johnsons to-
tails for last season and his totals to
date in the present campaign:
G. IMP. Hts Runs BIB. so. wP.
1913. sis Sso g g g 2as g
The figures tell sad story. In fewer
games johnson has been hit harder.
Thirty more runs have been scored
than went across last year. He has
passed twenty-four more batters, and
this is a big item in the accounting.
He has famed sixty fewer batters and
cut loose four. times as many wild

Players Blame Griffith.

Any number of reasons can be adj
vanced for the poor showing of the
pitcher who is supposed to possess
more speed than any other twirler in
the business. Players in the Ameri-
can League insist that Griffith by try
ing to make johnson change his style
has made him less effective. Such
cases have been brought to light be-
fore, but johnson probably is the only
man who knows whether or not his
manager is to blame.
