JOHNSON DID NOT PERMIT
HOME RUN IN 1919 SEASON
Gallia Yielded Ten, Worst in American League
Seven of BoLand All Came With
No One On Sacks
BY ERNEST J. LANIGAN.

Walter Perry johnson went back so
furiously fast last season that no
player was able to make a home run
off him-and he engaged in thirty
nine combats and toiled in go in
nings. George Cunningham. john
Enzmann. Grover Cleveland Lowder-
milk and James Thomas Zachary,
gunners who We're awarded records
by Official Statistician Irwin NJ. Howe,
also hung up the Nothing Doing
but only one of the men mentioned
Lowdermilk-did much work. The
Great Traveller hurled 1879 rounds of
ball.
Melvin Albert Gallia of the Browns
permitted more round-trip blows than
the junior circuit. the paStimers sting
ing the person who was born in Bee
vile. Bee county. Tex. for ten. George
Dauss Of the Tigers. Herb Thormah-
len of the Yanks and Tom Rogers and
Walt Kinney of the Athletics were 10
Gated for nine, and Jack Quinn OF the
Yanks was found for eight.
A surprising feature uncovered by
the dope is that the Philadelphia
curvers did not yield the most four
baggers. The New York pitchers
did. The delivery clerks who allowed
wallops worked for Boston.
Boland's Record Is Unique.
Nernie Boland of the Tigers had an
odd record in circuit clouts. Seven
were made off his delivery. and all
seven arrived when there was no one
on the runway. Players were in the
habit Of playing return dates with
the Detroiter in the matter of hits
for the full distance. Mike Menoskey
of the Nationals collected two hom-
ers off Boland. and so did Bob Roth,
who is to be with Washington this
year The new Red Sox got one of
his homers when he was clubbing for
Harry Harper.
Claude Preston Williams of the
White Sox. who. like Boland. is
Southern Association graduate. had
the same number of home runs made
off his delivery as his Tiger rival. and
six came with the bags clear.
Five four-baggers were gathered off
Eddie Cicotte and the same number
cropped up against Carl Mays.
No pitcher had more than one hom-
er made off him when the cushions
all had tenants. the men who suffered
in this manner being George Dauss.
Jack Quinn. Bob Shawkey. Russell
Johnson. Ernie Shore. Dave Daven-
port. Fred Coumbe and Allan Soth-
oron.
The most runs due to homers were
reaped Off DausS-nineteen. Walter
Kinney and Tom Rogers were close
behind with seventeen.
Gallia Heaviest Sufferer.
Home runs made off American
League pitchers last year show Bert
Gallia. the former Griffman. was most
frequently victimized. Here is the

or course, the fans cannot hear the
conversation around the plate, between
catcher, batter and umpire. If they
could they would enjoy many laugh at
the expense of one OF the trio and would
get a different impression of certain
players than perhaps generally exists.
Always Object of Interest.
Truck Hannah always has been an
object of interest to me when catching.
Aside from always doing a pretty good
job of receiving, he never failed to have
a line of conversation that would make
a bigger hit on a vaudeville circuit than
some of the stuff used by some mono
1ogue artists. Hannah keeps up con-
tnual chatter from the time the game
starts. OF course. his conversation is
largely directed at the batter, in the
hope that his line of talk will take the
mind OF the batter from his work, the
making of base hits.
He seeks to keep the batter from con-
centrating, and from the many strikes
slipped over by the New York pitchers
would say there was merit in his syS-
tenn.
Hannah's conversation is never objec-
tionable. He usually has the batter
laughing at some of his taIk, rather than
sore Truck always claimed a batter
who was sore was more dangerous than
the batsman who was laughing. Han
nah. however, did not always confine his
conversation to his opponents. Often ii
was emitted IN MS own Denalf. i snail
never forget the acrobatic stunts he put
on one day trying to field couple of
bunts. His first attempt caused the
crowd to roast him, and his second Of
fense would have probably drawn more
criticism had he not yelled at the top of
his voice, as he was doing lofty tum- =
infeId-'
In the same game an opposing bat
ter hit a high fly to the left of the
plate at the Polo Grounds. A bad
wind was blowing. making the judg-
ment of such balls difficult While
the ball was still in the air Hannah
had the crowd in an uproar by his re-
marks. 1t had been a rather tough
day for Truck. but he took it all
good-nsturedly, and decided to beat
the fans to the punch Here are a
few of the remarks he made as he
circled under the ball.
at certainly is awful high. Better
catchers than me have missed fly
balls. I will be satisfied if it doesn't
And it just missed SO doing. The
ball fell untouched, but no one voiced
an objection. as Truck had them
laughing. Yes. indeed, it pays to have
a bit of humor in ones system.
Careless About Eating.
Perhaps no class of athletes are
more careless about what they eat
than ball players When a foot ball
team starts it's season a training e
table is established and the food is
selected and prepared with care.
When a boxer starts to train for an
important bout the food he eats be-
comes a matter of special worry to
his manager and trainer. 1t is the
same in nearly every other sport ex-
cept base ball. This can. in a meas
ure, be explained that the base ball
season is long grind of 154 games,
while with other sports the condition
of a team or individual is shaped for
some particular event. In base ball
all games count the same, and the
grind is SO long and SO great that to
try to confine the players to set linn

New York Americans. Detroit was
The opposing team. Cole was always
pretty successful against the Ilgers'
and he was the managerial selectioii
for relief work in case the New YORK
nitcher began getting bumped. Cole
was sitting on bench in deep rieht

ers was passing nearby ana Eoio

he was summoned by his manager 70

Tigers had put over couple or runs
Cole decided it would be wise 70 can

one of the New York players told
Cole there was nothing TO worry

smiled and shouted loudly to the boy,

because I will be back before you get
here" He had the right dope. Coop
doubled Crawford singled and Neacn
tripled. That was enough for Coie.
He retired to the right field bench to
await his order.
Old Man Alibi is a much over
worked individual in base ball. For
years the umpire was his target when
player was in trouble. The umpire

threadbare The fan doesn't fall for 1T

Hannah gives me so many laughs

original. That is why I regard the
alibi of the late King Cole as to why
his sandwich order should not be
