Statisticians Dig Up More Honors For
 Johnson

Washington, June -0.-Local base ball statisticians digging back into the records of Walter Johnson. who by blanking the Chicago White Sox Sunday. to nothing 1
 Sunday, 1 to 0. registered his seventh victory this season against three de- feats, have found that not only has the "big train" of the Washington staff entered the ultra select class of pitchers with life time average of 500 or better, but he has clinched his title to the champion shutout king of the majors. Sundays blank drawn by the White Sox was the ninety fifth Johnson has handed out in his big league career.
 Johnsons total number of S2T vic tories against 217 defeats, for an average of .601 Is considered re- markable tribute to his record as he has been backed by clubs of only mediocre ability. There Is only one pitcher now in harness who is con- sidered to have ghost of chance to top Johnson in shut out fame and that is Grover Alexander, of the Chi cago Cubs.
 As Alexander has but 80 goose egg verdicts to his credit at the start of the present season. the chance of his overhauling tine Washington twirier Is deemed exceedingly slim.
 Babe Adams, of Pittsburg, who had 43 to his credit when the sea- son opened is third. Next in line are Jim Vaughn and George Tyler with Al and 34 respectively, but both of whom are regarded as about fin- ished. Johnsons closest rival in the American league is Dutch Leonard, Tiger holdout, now suspended for pitching for ar outlaw club. He IS credited with B shutout victories.

FEAR OF A CLUB
- sI 7 :.''- \ s.$ls'. effEEM'ss

One of the strangest things that can happen in golf is the players development of a fear of some one of his clubs. A couple of poorly exc cuted shots with that particular club, and he Is "off of it." as the saying goes. The result Is he prac- tically abandons the club. and the lcnger he abandons it the greater becomes his fear of it. Strangely enough. there is nothing wrong with the club at all If the player per- sisted in it's use, as he should on all such occasions when it's use is called for. his fear of 1t would be almost immediately overcome. Long as have been playing I discovered just the other day this old fear of & club come upon me. I stuck right to the club, however. and of course l conquered it--or rather myself-at once.
 Lack of Confidence
 Sometimes this fear permeates your whole game. While the player reckons with it as a fear" the truth is it is plain lack of conf dence. Whenever the lack of confi- dence comes over you. make up your mind that you are in for a poor day on the links.
 When a man feels that he is not going to play well he is not likely to. My shots on the day I mentioned did not look the same in the air. and instead of gluing my gaze down to the ball I was jumping up every moment to see where it was going. It is maddening to feel that stray twinge at the knee can easily de- stroy the rhythm of your stroke, just as easily as the sudden cramp can send the swimmer to the .ottom.
 Such a condition in a golf player means a sort of unpunctual skill, and the skill must be trained to ar rive at the right moment, something easier said than done. Without question more surprising failures in games result from bodily indisposi- ton than anything else. I say sur prising failures for, of course, I ex- cept the cases in which one player is clearly outclassed.
 Feeling at Ease
 It is a great thing to have a body completely at ease and to feel that it will respond. like fine, well-tem- pered tool, to one's will. Nothing will quite equal that, but the next best thing is to have mind so well trained that 1t disregards all minor discomforts. It is hard to fix ones mind upon his game when it keeps straying to the subject of annoying little aches. or pains that are con stant source of distraction. I be- lieve that 1t can be done. however and it behooves player who finds himself obliged to play under un- fortunate conditions to bring about that. happy state of mind.
 A famous match was won in a British championship few years ago by man of 56 years old suffer ing from lumbago. Plentifully SUD- piled with medicine he defeated a man who had won our national cham pionship four times. It is true that he did not play well It could hard- ly have been expected under the cir cumstances. but it was the grit and confidence with which he kept on that brought him victory. It was an astounding victory under the cir cumstances. and the British fight ing spirit was fully vindicated.
