Unless pitchers legs are strong and able to stand up under the con- stant strain of striding on every ball pitched, he cant get his stuff on the ball.
 My legs are far more troublesome
 than my arm. Some days they seem too weak to suppoSt my body after I have gone four or five innings at top speed. ., "Umpires and batters tell me after

Washington, Aug. 7.-Is Walter Johnson going back?
 Walter admits it himself, so there can be no doubt about it.
 At times Johnson looks as good as ever, but his pitching lacks the old consistency that made him the great est pitcher of his day.
 Johnson has been pitching in the American league since 1907. He has always been on losing team, never with a great club. AS a result in order to win, he invariably was forced to press his pitching to the limit.
 When a star pitcher begins to go back the blame in invariably laid to an ailing arm. Listen to what John son has. to say on this point:
 "Of course I am not as good as l was 10 or 15 years ago. Age tells in baseball quicker than any other sport.
