no-hit fame. lost one feather u of
his hat on Sunday afternoon when
the Metuchen Baseball club, for
which the local twirler did the de-
livering, was defeated by the Linden
A. G. by an SO score.
The local moundsman before the
game was hardly started was batter
ed for long drives, the Linden A. G.
was able to collect eleven safeties,
while Erupe held the Metuchen team
to eight scattered bingles. Only
one man on the Linden team tailed
to meet Terrio's deliveries, and it is
SD thai the reason for his failing

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s:-Bose-
ball fans have a keen interest in the
big stars Of the game.
After every contest in which some
OF the leading lights appear, there's
always a big following outside the
dressing room door to get a closeup
of the favorites.
What kind of a fellow is So and
So? That il a common question ask
ed about the famous men of the dia-
mond.
Perhaps no player in the game has
had a more spectacular career than
Walter johnson. Coming to the
American League an unknown rookie
picther, inside of a month he was
the sensation of the circuit.
Until the coming of the lively ball
most of the glamor OF the diamond
conferred around the pitcher. He was
the big hero.
But the lively ball and Babe Ruth
have changed things. The slugger
Is the hero of today in baseball. The
player with the healthy wallop in
his bat gets the loud applause.

What kind of a fellow is Walter

That question has been asked me

"Bill was right. Get on me. boys,
I missed the bag" said johnson.
Then he walked off the field.
OF course that ended the dispute.
Perhaps only an umpire can appre-
ciate what a big thlhg that was for
Johnson to do.
Walter Johnson IS one Of the
grandest characters in baseball. II
all pitchers were like him l would
work for half salary. I wish he
would go on pitching forever.
Johnson, despite the many records
he has established. is the same

As a result batsmen always faced

the game, without the slightest fear
Blessed with good control, they also
were aware that he would never
throw at them.
No umpire car yer recall john
son making a serious kick and no
doubt We have slipped many a tough
one against Walter.
"Fussing with the umpires never
helped any pitcher. The umpires
like to do their work well, just as /
like to pitch a good game. / have
always felt that the less you fuss

This episode in which / was the

markable character Johnson is:

In the ninth inning of a ball game,
with two out and the winning run
