Last years world series games did
not see Johnson at his best. He had
much ''on'' the ball, as they say in
professional ranks when Il pitcher has
a good twist to make a deceptive curve
and an abundance of speed. But then
Johnson was a victim of too much
publicity. In his first two starts he
pitched for the entire base ball world
instead of only for the Washington
club. He did not pitch naturally and
as q result was twice beaten.
But in that dramatic final game of
the series, when he got into action
late, he pitched as only a Johnson can
pitch Nothing concerned him then
but victory for his club, and that he
earned That's the Johnson the Pi-
rates will face in the series, and they
are not apt to find him only a shadow
of his old self.

against the Pirates. They did not see
