beyond all range, If he ever adopted the
tactics used by most successful slabmen
that is, the policy of shooting stray
shot at the batsman's onion once in a
while. This system has kept many pitch
ers up in the winning ranks, as it has a
decided tendency to drive the athlete back
from the plate and work upon his nerves.
But Johnson never USES it, and mainly
for the reason that the batsman would
have only an outside chance of ducking
the shot as propelled by Walters arm,
and If the shot ever landed squarely John
son would have the ghost of dead man
stalking his sleep, There are times when
it is a handicap D have an excessive

1t seems that a slight hitch has arisen
