Braves Pitcher Takes on Weight De-
spite Duty Performed.

Braves Pitcher Takes on Weiqht De-
spite Duty Performed.
One of the remarkable things about
the Braves pitching staff is the way
the main division of the pitching staff
has thriVed under the heaviest assign
ment of steady work any three pitch
erS of modern times have been given
OF the three standbys of the team,
Rudolph, James and Tyler, the former
is able to announce that instead of
losing weight during the season to
late-and this means practically the
full season-he has gained three and
one-half pounds.
To an athlete of Rudolph's rather
slight physique this means consider
able. 1t also helps to aid in disproving
Il theory of long standing that pitch
or can not stand up under such a bur
den as has been imposed on him this
year without suffering n breakdown or
in other words cracking"
1t will be Il matter of interest to
those concerned in the conditioning of
pitchers to see just what will be Ru-
dolph's physical shape when his task
for the season is ended.

JOHNSON HAS BAD SEASON.
Great Washington Twirler Experiences
Hard Luck Year.

Hard Luck Year.
Walter Johnson has lost tBo-thirds
of the games he pitched this season,
which shows again that the race isn't
always to the swift, although the
safest betting is in that direction.
Johnson has lost more games with a
first division club than he used to
lose with a seventh placer.
He has lost a lot of close ones and
has pitched lot of bad baseball-for
Johnson. In 1913 he was the greatest
pitcher in either league. But in 1914
there will be eight or ten beyond him.
