Big Train Has Won Ala, Lost
275 Games-Holds Record
For Most Pitching Years in
Big Leagues, Most Games
Won in Either Circuit

New York, Oct. 26.-F,-The
passing Of Walter Perry johnson
from baseball's big tent after II
years Of active service with the
Washington Senators closes a career
Of noteworthy achievement which
promises to stand for some time to
come.
Although there is many a good
game left in Johnson's strong right
arm, the "Big Train" requested his
release because he felt that it would
be only short while before he
would be forced to stand aside.
He will celebrate his fortieth birth
day anniversary November 6.
Won 414. Lost PTS Games
During his fifth of century in
baseball, spent entirely with Wash
ington, Johnson won 414 games and
lost 275. His biggest season was
1913 when he recorded SO victories
against seven setbacks.
Barney" holds the record for
most pitching years in one of the
big leagues, also for most games
pitched and most games won in
either major circuit. His American
League career was rounded out with
B,494 strikeouts which is also a rec
ord performance of it's kind. An
other mark credited to Johnson is
shutouts pitched, 113.
The feat of leading the American
League most years in games wor
likewise is held by johnson. HI
headed the parade through six cam
paigns. which was equalled b!
Grover Cleveland Alexander. in tn,
National. Alexander led his circus
five years with the Phillies and ont
season with the Cubs.
Has High Shutout Total
Johnson tops the list for pitching
the greatest number of consecutive
shutout innings, Sc, made over J;
period stretching from April 10 tt
May IA, 1918.
While Johnson had several big
winning streaks, his longest was II
during the 1912 campaign. Tha
mark was tied during the same sea
son by Joe Wood of the Red Sox
Rube Marquard holds the best per
Torrance of consecutive victories II
modern baseball with 10, which
oddly, was made in 1912 also.
There were many unusual Incl
dents contributed by johnson. II
1924, he pitched a one-hit shutout
game against Chicago, striking ou1
IA batsmen, six in succession. BacI
in 1910, Sir Walter struck out three
pinch hitters in succession against
the Athletics. Opposing the same
club later on, johnson retired his
opponents on three pitched balls II
one inning. He repeated the latter
feat against the Browns. He once
shut out the Yankees in three
straight games but not q, success

Oosterbaan is marked man.

receiving passes and tossing them
besides being sure death to plays

The Michigan offensive, from

Explanation Of
Dissecting Grid Rules
Men in Motion
BY E. ]. OBRIEN
Famous Football Referee

The rule states that no player o.
the side which has the ball shall BIZ
in motion at the moment that tht
ball is put in play; except that ON
man may be in motion, either di
rectly or obliquely towards his OWL
end line.
1t puts a restriction on men ir
the line being in motion, so much s.
that if one Of the line players is i
motion, he must be five yards bac
of the ball at the moment the ba
is put in play, and also one Of tt
backfield men must take his plae
in the line of scrimmage.
It means that the rules have be
50 reconstructed that now in all shi
or huddle plays, the players mt
come to an absolute stop and reme
stationary in their new positio,
sufficiently long to prevent a
doubt in the minds Of the
ficials that the players have CON
to a full stop.
Remember, any man in motion
the moment the ball is put in pie
must be at least five yards back
the spot from which the ball
snapped and, furthermore must b
goirg towards his own goal line
that instant.

Campus Comment

It is good, now and then when
you hear talk Of the roughness OF
football, to repeat stol. that mas
gone the rounds concerning an
Army-Navy battle of a past year.
The story goes that the referee
Of this game between eleven tough
Army boys and elevent tough Navy
boys asked the Army captain as the
game started whether they had any
trick plays. or anything they wanted
him to watch in particular. ;,
"Only one thing, Mr.. Referee.
came the answer. Remember, this
is not college game. Please do not
penalize the Navy too much, the
Army players will take care OF
themselves"
From the Navy captain came the
same request-"Don't penalize the
Army boys too much, the Navy boys
will take care of themselves"
So, for 60 minutes, they fought,
and fought hard. The Navy took
care Of itself. The Army took care
Of itself. Football to them was not
4 tea party, but game in which
eleven Army men battled eleven
Navy men for all they were worth.
The moral to the story is that
the toughest, toughest man-to-man
fight in football always leaves the
pair with clasped hands, well salts
fled that the game is worthwhile.

Every sound was audible. He could
hear her open a door and come into
the room above the kitchen. He could
hear the jingle of keys. He could
hear her move a box and throw the
Id back. In minute she came down
the stairs and into the kitchen. In
quiet, deliberate manner she laid out
on the table under the lamp a metal
disc and couple of papers.

of the regiment. He kept it in his

1st, 1894, and Anton Blum's discharge
being given as: "Dumbness and

Manning folded the papers, laid
them carefully on the top of the table,
and put the identity disc down on the
top of them. He did not know what
to say to this quiet. friendly woman.
Finally he left with the conviction
that he had made fool of himself
