Walter Johnson joined the
Washington club on trial in Aug
ust, 1907. He has been with it
ever since. His first really great
year was 1910, when he won
twenty-five and lost seventeen
games, maintaining an effective.
ness mark of 2.S4.
With the coming to this city
OF Clark Griffith, Johnson passed
the thirty mark for victories. Fol
the first time he was backed by
strong ball club and his record
Of 100 for effectiveness in 1918
is his high-water mark.
When Johnson entered fast
company he created a furore on
account of his great speed. Fans
in every city flocked to see him
pitch, and it was his misfortune
that in those days the Washing
ton club was much weaker than
it has been since.
Speed, and speed alone, was
johnson's strong point when he
came from Idaho. He scorned a
curved ball. In tight places he
simply put on a little more speed,
throwing the ball by the batters,
es it were. It was only when he
felt his speed lessening that John
son began practicing with a curve
and a slow ball. Today, because
he has brains and knows how to
use them, he has a wide, sharp
breaking curve ball and every
now and then uncovers a fair
slow one.

strikeouts the other day against
the White Sox put him on a par
with Buck O'Brien, of the 1918
Red Sox, and Jim Scott, of the
1918 White Sox.
The Washington wizard was ct
his best in 1913. It was during
that season that he passed Jack
Coombs' record by pitching fifty
six consecutive shutout innings,
from the second inning Of the
game on April 10 to the fourth
inning of the game on May. II,
which was at st. Louis, by the
way, always a tough town for him.
Once during the 1913 season
Johnson retired the side on three
pitched balls. On May rs, against
the Athletics, he turned the trick
in the sixth inning. He repeated
this stunt again on June /, 1917,
against the Browns in the second
inning.

like to think of Maine as the sort
of community and of the people OF
Maine as the sort of people to whom
bigotry is repugnant and tolerance
and liberality attractive.
From a purely partisan point Of
view I should be delighted with Sen
ator Brewsters' nomination. It would
be the one thing necessary to insure
Democratic success in Maine this
year.
Senator Brewster is wronh In be-
lieving that / would willingly be the
means of procuring a single Demo-
cratic vote either for him or against
him in June. He is also wrong in
believing that | regard him as a for
midable candidate in September. In
case the Republican party of Maine
decides to commit suicide on Pri-
mary day.
1T may be that he has been prom
ised the support of great many
Democrats and it may be that the
promise will be kept but he should
not let that initiate his confidence to
too great an extent. The Ku Klux
Khan is not going to carry Maine
this year.
Senator Brewster states that he
is opposed by the Knights of Coium-
bus. | cannot speak for the members
Of that order. ! neither belong to il
nor am l eligible to membership in

Is probably correct in that state
ment.
Even so facile a politician as the
Senator could hardly expect TO IN.

on the attempt of Senator Brewster

and to inspire in the minds Of por-
ton of our citizens hatred and dis

Democrats are not justified In in
terfering in Republican politics, So
far as / can influence them they VIII
not do so. When our opponents
have settled their troubles we will
