BULLSEYES OF
BASKETBALL

To Walter Johnson goes the credit
of pitching the three greatest con-
secutive games l ever saw major
league pitcher turn in.
Johnson performed his three re-
markable pitching feats on Septeni-
Der 4. 5, Z, 1908, against the New
York Americans in that city.
All that Johnson did was shut out
the Yankees, then known as the
Highlanders. in three straight games.
The peculiar part of the feat was the
more Johnson pitched the better he
got. s
In those days the single umpir,
system avs in use in the major
leagues. It was my very great privi-
lege to be entirely in charge of those
three games, which / believe stand
uneaualed from pitching point of
view.
In the old days of the single nm
pire system, the arbitI ators always
welcomed pitchers battles. Since it
is necessary for an umpire to cover
every play with the single system in
VOGUE. close games in which the
pitchers we're masters of the situa.
ton, always made the work much
easier
While those three games in which
Johnson shut out New York on con-
secutive days were remarkable pitch
ing feats, they were soft picking
from the angle of the umpire.
The reason-New York was help
less before Johnson, while Washing
ton would early assume lead that
would make the game secure with
Johnson going at top sped. - didn't
have to do much running around the
bases in those three games, as
mighty few players got on.
The first game was played on Fri
day, Sept. a, 1908, Washington win
:ning to 0. Johnson allowing the
losers only six hits.
The second game was played Sat

Y9lu CHI PRICES
FOR HORNSBY

BY NEA Service. n tat
St. Louis, Feb. Baseball fans
and writer's overlook the fielding
ability of Rogers Hornsby, if yor
will take the word Of Manager Branch
Hickey of the Cardinals.
Because Hornsby is such Won
derful hitter, the fans fail to appre-
ciate his remarkable fielding ability,
says Hickey.
"Of course, know many Of the
experts won't agree with me, but
I consider Hornsby one Of the great
est fielding second basemen of all
time.
Il have watched Lajoie, Collins,
Evers, Ritchey and other greats in
action. but I will take Hornsby for
mine.
"AH things considered, Hornsby is
the greatest-the most valuable Sec
ond baseman in the history of the
game"

and usually a defeated fighter always

Then there is Tommy Gibbons.
What about Sir Thomas?
A year ago Gibbons was considered

Then came the upset by Harry Greb,
which cost Gibbons at least 100000.
He could have easily demanded and

Despite his defeat on points in the

fought Brennan, Carpenter and

none of the trio had any more to

that his action means riot at the
close of the game, but that never r.
ceives the slightest consideration.
Who was the player put out and
then reinstated? None other than
the great Larry Lajoie. Funny
thing, but l met Larry the other day,
we discussed the incident and both
had a good laugh.
Because of injuries, the Cleveland
infield at the time was all broken up.
George. Perring, q recruit, was at
third. and an injury to Terry Turner
had forced Lajoie to shift to short
stop. there being no other infielder
on the club who could play that posi-
ton.
Late in the game, with the score
tie and two out, the batter hit

the way to third on the hit. The
throw beat him there, but Perrlng
who was a youngster, was badly
fooled ~ deceptive slide on the
mart of the runner and missed touch

have been an easy out and when NJ
was declared safe it was only natural
that Larry should have been peeved
over the failure of Perring to make

Hardly had I made my decision 81
