w. Tohnson's Case.

The inexplicable slump Of Walter
Johnson is still a Earring note in Wash
ington diplomatic affairs. In 1911, when
the Senators finished a bad seventh.
johnson won q games and lost Is for
an average Of sos. In 1872. he won 3
and lost II, for an average of .727. In
1913, he won 80 and lost Z, for an aver
age of about 800. With Washington s
uplift he has added nearly 100 percent
age points for three years. But 1914
finds him back with Harvard and
Uncle SAM So far the Human Shrap-
mel has Won II and lost s. yielding the
the old days when his club was one
of the prize sponges OF the profession
and a mark for all corners.
II johnson had only travelled this sea-
Son up to his 1913 stride, Washington
today would be only one battle back of
the Mackmen, az the worst, and more
than likely in first place.
Which Introduces the elusive dope
again. The two most valuable ball
players now extant are said to be Cobb
and johnson. Yet these TWO have dealt
harder blows to their two clubs than
any others-Johnson by his unexpected
slump, and Cobb by his long absence
at two critical points of the Tiger
march.
Sometimes you can't tell. When Chase
jumped the White Sox that club. in
place of crumbling up, suddenly begins
to throw Off all restraint and disrupt
the field.
The Giants and Athletics are a bit
like Jack Johnson-in one way. They
are going to stay where they are until
some on comes and yanks them back.
They have no intention OF leaving on
their own accord merely because they
are getting weary of collecting a lot of
extra Coin each fall.
Waite Johnson has a bale Of smoke.
but when pitching against those Mack
men the pill travels back past his head
about as fast as he starts It toward
the plate.

Baltimore International League
Franchise May Be Trans
ferred Late Today.
VIRGINIA CAPITAL Is HAPPY
State Circuit Unpopular, and
Fans Are Expected to Rally
to Better Baseball.

RICHMOND, Va, July Inter
national League baseball will be seen
here Saturday, If the Virginia League
sanctions the transfer of the Baltimore
club to this city. The deal has already
been completed between Jack Dunn, own
er Of the International League team in
Baltimore, and the local capitalists, who
have been working hard to bring better
baseball to this city. The State league
directors are due 20 meet here today to
discuss the change and its is thought
that tho transfer will be allowed with
out much trouble. Lynchburg, left out
in the cold by the State League last
winter, is expected to acquire the local
franchise.

Richmond welcomes International
League baseball with acclaim The State
League has taken away almost all Sat
urd6y games from this city through a
spirit Of jealousy and local fans are dis
gusted. Furthermore, they think that
the city is big enough and sufficiently
progressive to support a better brand of
baseball. The Orioles compare favorably
with many major league clubs and are
sure to attract large crowds here. If the
transfer goes through, as expected, Rich
mond will pour into the park here Sat-
urday for two games, morning and after
noon.

And Then

Yes" you say, or we'll say it for you,
but you overlook that best bet Of them
all. Only think of how that Athletic club
can hit the ball. This is the answer"
In proof of which we turn to the bat
ting records and we discover this: That
the Red Sox are leading their league at
bat with an average Of .2s3, while the
Mackmen are trailing well behind with
ar average Of only .264-nearly 20
points shy. Boston has made 80 more
hits than Philadelphia has made and has
drawn about IS more passes.

We find that Boston leads the American
League with a club average Of 1857,
while Philadelphia is fourth, with an
average Of .961. Boston has accepted
more chances with fewer misplays.

Proving

Summing 1t all up We find that from
the printed records Of what has actually
taken place the Red Sox are outbatting
the Athletics, are outfelding them and
are getting better pitching In only one
respect do the Mackmen excel-they
nave won more games and lost fewer,
and are thereby leading their red hosed
rivals by nearly 100 points.
