London, March 1.-THE Russian up
hesval cannot help but have profound
effect on the course of the war, mill
tary experts here agree. 1t must cause
uneasiness and a reconsideration Of
plans, not only among the Allies, but
among the Central Powers as well.
How great a force the reconstructed
Russia will prove no one knows. She
may be a vital factor, for her potential
strength is enormous. But she may
also be so torn by internal strife that
her fighting capabilities will become nil.
No ono can answer the question. least

Clark Griffith told me recently
that he expected johnson to be as
effective in 1918 as he has ever
been in his career.
Eddie Ainsmith, who always
catches johnson, declares he has
all Of his former speed when he
wishes to use it.
So much for stories that John
son is going back.
Stories that johnson has not
been trying may also be dismissed
Walter johnson is one Of the

the mound he is always putting
forth his best efforts. Also John
sons high-priced contract expires

Waller johnson Experiments at Expense Of
Record to Save His Arm for Years to Come
BY PAUL Pul r NJ

Walter johnson has come to the
point where he must seriously con
slider the possibility Of not win
ming 20 games this season.
For johnson, this is unheard Of.
He fell below that mark in 1909
| it is true, but that was his first
year in big league company. Since
then he has always been we'll
above the 20-game mark.
With less than two months to
go johnson has won II and lost
ID games. For the first time since
1909 he is below the list of 500
pitchers at this stage Of the sea-
son.
With the exception Of Joe Bush
Of the Athletics he has lost more
games than any other American
league pitcher.
In former years it has been true
that johnson has lost games be-
cause Of poor, support and weak
hitting. In the height Of his car
eer considerable number of his
losses were due to his club being
unable to make a run or two.
But this has not been the case
this year. johnson has lost many
games when his teammates have
piled up half a dozen or more runs
behind him. H.. w.. .... IA
To- bgeak jim to. the class OF. 20

johnson, il he pitches no more FREE
quently than he has. must win
four out Of five Of his games. y
1t is scarcely probable that he
will pitch in many more than 10
full games this season. This
means that he must pitch super
ball and must not save himself. ~
All Of which brings up the quss-
ton:
Is johnson going back? is.

high marks of other years. but in

johnson had reached the point
where he realized his magnificent
speed could not be entirely de-
pended upon for many years. It
was up to him to devise other
means Of winning ball games.
johnson has not lost his bullet
like speed-he is just conserving
it. In the meantime he has been
developing good slow ball,
which in many years to come may

not come up to. expectations it
would be his own fault. @ @
Mechanically Sisler is probably
as good a player as Ty Cobb.
He is a better fielder, is almost
as fast on his feet and Cobb hash t
a whole lot on him in batting.
But where Cobb stands out far
ahead Of Sister and all others is in
his ability to initiate plays, to
make his own breaks and to out
think the other fellow.
Tvs ability to catch the other
fellow off his balance has given
him hundreds Of bases since he
has been in baseball.
If Sisler can learn to use his
head as Cobb uses his there may
be a chance for him to come up to
Jones expectations and perform
!feats in true Cobb style.
