III the 6-to-O shutout Of Wash
ington Wednesday, the Detroit
Tigers may have another Jess
Petty or possible Joe Pate,
both pitchers who are making g
big league debut at q later time
in life than usual, and getting
away with it.
While Johns has not quite.
reached the maturity of either
Petty or Pate, he is by no means
sn1OOth-faced boy, having at
tanned his twenty-seventh BIRTH
day some time since.
With q good change Of pace,
speed enough to 1nystify most
batters and curve that will
fool the rest, Johns has q pitch
ing record to date Of five wins
and two defeats.
Incidentally that is the same
standing that Jess Petty has
created for himself, and Jess has
been propaganda to the skies
by the New York writers who
miss no opportunities to go into
raptureg whether Babe Ruth
makes his fifteenth home run or
whether McGraw buys a new
Jewish ball player.
In fact, Johns looks like about
the surest bet Cobb has in the
way of new hurting il those seen
during the present sojourn can
be taken as a criterion. Gibson
and Wells didn't appear to be
world heaters and the delivery
of each was solved ultimately.
The Fort Worth recruit had
only had a two-day rest when
he worked the full route Cor the
Tigers here day before yester-
day. Only last Sunday in De-
troit he set the Red Sox down
by a 6-to-6 count in Detroit for
his fourth victory of the sea-
son. and within two days he
rung up his fifth against Wash
ington, which is certainly going
to the well very often with the
pitcher.
Like Petty, this is Johns
second trial in the big leagues
and like Pate he was developed
by the Fort Worth, Texas
League club.
Detroit took a look at Au-
gustus Arthur Johns four years
ago, and found him wanting. He
was allowed to tester in the
frontier towns almost beyond
the age where ball players are
expected to break into fast COM
pany, but if he keeps up his
present cadence Cobb will have
a ripe hurler among his rockies
that many clubs, including
Washington, could well use at
the present moment.

II Walker does not knock out or

five rounds he does not step the

undoubtedly slowed up when Latzc
came back strong in the sixth

him back with his own coin.
He sent Mickey reeling across
the ring with ponderOus rights
that landed on the elbows or the
back. Pete was much the stronger

Latzo rallied wen from every as
