Billy Evans Says

after 10 years | still regard my
fast ball as my one best bet"
That was the remark Walter john
son made to me after he had won
his first two starts, in which he al
lowed only one run.
When Walter Johnson broke into
the American League speed was his
only asset. He was versed in that
style of pitching only.
Since that time he has developed
Il good curve ball and a fine change
of pace, but he still regards his fast
ball as his best pitching weapon.
when I am fast, and it doesn't
take ME very long to know whether
my speed is worth while, / have a
feeling Of confidence in myself that
Is otherwise lacking.
Il am inclined to think the ques-
ton of my speed also receives much
consideration from the opposition.
eff at the close Of the first inning
the players on the rival team go
back to the bench, saying Johnson
looks as fast as he ever was, l am
sure the psychology so created has
much to do with the outcome Of the
game"
There is no doubt in my mind but
that Johnson has the pitching status
of today correctly sized up. The
question of his speed is the deter
mining factor.
In the first game of the season, in
which Johnson BANKED the Philadel-
phia Athletics, he looked just as
good as ever.
umpired that game and marveled
at the speed he showed in his first
start after 1S years of strenuous ma.
jor league campaigning.
The opposing plaer seemed t.
! view the situation in the same light
| AS they came up to the plate, John
sons great speed seemed to be the
one thing that impressed each ant
every visiting athlete.
AS inning after Inning passed ant
johnson continued moving down tn
opposition, registering strikeout a,
inning, the Opposing players SCENE,
to take it for granted that beatin,
Johnson was pretty much out of tn
| question.
SO it seems that Johnson spok
real logic when he said that afte
IS years his fast ball was still hi
one best4bet.
His curve and change of pace ar
very essential to success but the iii
on the fast one is what gives hin
the edge and makes his other stuf
effective.
The knowledge that Johnson ap
pears as fast as ever, serves as
threat to the opposing players tina
works to decided advantage il
many ways.

BALLOON-TIRED
OVERLAND SAID
LOWEST PRICED

With public interest in balloon
tires at its height WHY'S Overland
announces it's newest model, the
Overland Blue Bird, the lowest
priced motor car with genuine ball
loon tires furnished as standard
equipment. SSH
Those who have seen the car at;
its preliminary showings at the fac
tory agree that the Blue Bird is the
most striking design that has ever
been produced by this organization.
The combination of long, roomy
body done in rich Peacock Blue, set
off by black tenders and running
gear, smartened by nickeled radi-
ator, windshield stanchons and out
side door handles; with upholstery
of blush shade to match the body,
and top of similar hue, creates an
appearance of spirit and sparkle that
is entirely in keeping with it's happy
choice Of trade name.
This new creation is another in
stance of Willys-Overland' endeavor
to work steadfastly toward the end
that the beauty, utility and econ
omy can be assembled in single
unit.
1t is one more illustration of fine.
well-bred coloring, which combines
| attractiveness with ability. The hue
used on the new Blue Bird will
stand up under the most exacting
weather conditions and cannot be
influenced by the summer sun or by
winters dampness and frosts.
A new standard in riding quail
tiles has also been reached by thu
coupling of the patented tripley
spring suspension with balloon tires.
The wheelbase of the new car is JOG
inches, giving it a spring base of
1876 inches. The weight of each

having an elastic limit of 10000
pounds. The springs are so design
ed and assembled in the chassis that
all road shocks are absorbed with a
minimum distortion of chassis.
Addition of genuine Fisk 31x5.25
balloon tires, which further cushion
the road, positively guarantees ut
most physical relaxation to the occu-
pants of the car even over the rough
est highways.
