Walter Johnson's Strikeout
Record of 2,775 Has Been
Beaten By Other Pitchers

The fact that Walter Johnson
reached the remarkable figure Of
2,775 trikeouts in 526 games dis
tributed throughout IA seasons does
rot give that great pitcher the glory
of being the strikeout king for all
time. There are two lurlers who
have record in strikeouts that shade
the wonderful work OF the Coffyville
sensation few points. Tim Keefe,
the holder of the worlds record in
consecutive victories, and "Cy"
Young have something to say about
the strikeout record. Figuring on
basis of percentages. the mark of
Denton Young shouldn't count for
it occupied a space Of p seasons for
the great Young to pile up his record
Of 1883 strikeouts. Tim Keefe is the
real strikeout king for he famed
2,816 batsmen in IA seasons, all aver
age of 20l a season. Young's aver
age is l29 a season and Walter
Johnson's is 1872 per season.
5000 Mark Not Reached
But coming to the real strikeout
kings two names stand out with a
brilliancy that cannot be denied. Tom
Ramsey and Edward Waddell are
the real strikeout kings when basing
their work on a yearly average or
an average of so many strikeouts per
game. Ramsey leads the world in
strikeouts. That great southpaw
made a record of tanning an average
of 252 batsmen Tor the six seasons he
pitched ball in the major leagues.
Waddell in 10 seasons, famed 1901, |
an average of 230 per season.
No hurler in base ball reached the
5000 mark in strikeouts. As men
toned, Young came less than 200
points of that figure. Less than
dozen big league hurlers have
reached the 1000 mark in whiting
batsmen. In fact, only six have

doesn't weigh enough to cope with
Dempsey on even terms
The tone OF regret was big part
Of the post-mortem discussion OF
that famous battle Of the century,
which Richard staged, for many -
the great throng of watchers were
convinced that the Frenchman WITH
an even pull can defeat any man OF
his weight in the world.
Question Will Be Answered. 4
This same Tex Rickard is the man
who is going to be responsible for
the answering of the question of
Carpenters ability to defeat man
of his own poundage. That's the
reason he matched Carpenter with
Tom Gibbons, the St. Paul light
heavyweight. and with the decision
in this combat, which is to be staged
in Madison Square Garden in New
York next January, we shall know
whether Georges is to retire with
the worlds light heavyweight crown
or see it sit jauntly on the curly

Two Pounds Difference.
Carpenter is strictly a 172-pound
fighter when in the best of condition..
Gibbons, if the information we have
at hand can be accepted as reliable,
notches 10 pounds when in his
fighting form. That is close enough
to suit anybody, but had Greb been
picked for Carpenters opponent
there would have been a greater
edge in favor of Georges. for the
Smoketown walloper usually does
his scrapping around the 165-pound
mark
Those who watched Carpenter
battle Dempsey to the inevitable
climax at Jersey City are likely to
be swayed by prejudice and senti-
ment to favor the man from across.
the water when picking the winner =
between Carp and Gibbons. His
great stand and game battle against
odds which could not be overcome
are too worthy of praise to be
quickly forgotten by that mob in
Jersey last July 2, and it is only
natural that Georges should gain
following to support him against a
man of his own weight.
But-getting around to the other
side of it-while Tom Gibbons hasn't
fought Jack Dempsey, just the same
he is wonderful ring performer,
and in our opinion just as wonder
;ul as Carpenter. Georges might
beat him, but he hasn't more than 1,

Date Of New York
State Open Golf
Tourney Changed

A slight change has been made in
the date for the New York open
championship to be held at Bellevue
Country club, near Syracuse. Bill
Entwistle, the professional in charge,
SAYS September 10 and 20 will posi-
lively be the dates, and when the
fact becomes generally known that
upward of $1,000 will be put up in
prizes Bellevue is not likely to be
overlooked.
Already rumor has it that Jock
Hutchison, the British open cham

their playing days, others were not
so good.
Foot ball is a sport in which the
best player does not always make
the most successful coach.
Yost Never Great Player.
Yost of Michigan never was con-
sidered a truly great performer dur
ing his playing days at Lafayette.
But he has made such close study
of the game that he is now looked
upon as one of the leading mentors
in the country. The same is true of
Zuppke when he attended Wiscon-
sin. The Illinois mentor has a
thorough knowledge of the game
and above all. possesses the happy
ability to instill his ideas into others.
On the other hand, some great
players have made good as coaches.
Hugo Bezdek, fullback on Chicago
teams in the early 1900's, has had
success, especially in his
present berth at Penn State. Hugo
was a student of the game during
his playing days and never over
looked an opportunity to digest in
structions given any member OF his
team.
John Heisman never was a really
brilliant player when he was at
Pennsylvania. He broke into fame
as coach at Georgia Tech, and
MS alma mater after some years re-
allied his worth and called him to
Penn, where he again will be in
,harge this autumn.

Detroit Star Does Not Feel
Equal to Rebuilding Team
Next Year.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 20.-Tyrus
Cobb will not manage the Detroit
Tigers next year. This has been just
about settled by Cobb himself,
whether President Navin makes a
move toward getting new manager
or not. Cobb signed one-year con-
tract and it will take lot of per-
suading on the part of Navin to in
duce him to continue the agreement
The Tigers must be completely re-
built, and it is understood Cobb does
not feel equal to the task and at the
same time maintain his playing abil-
ity. The team has fallen off in hit
ting in a year when hitting is about
the cheapest thing on the market; it
is weak on defense and mediocre on
the bases. The inheld needs bolster
ing and the pitching staff must be
improved. Without wholesale changes
Detroit will be lucky to finish in the
first division next year and is prac-
tically doomed to the second division
this season.
