WALTER TRAVIS

Veteran Golfer Occupied High
Position 20 Years Ago

Washington, Aug. 1 Up - When
the sun sets this evening, Walter
johnson will have rounded out a
fifth Of century as major league
pitcher-and he has served only one
club, the Washington Senators.
Twenty years ago tomorrow, the
"Old Master" as the fans call him.
toed the mound for his first start in
the big show. He pitched seven in
ninxs against Detroit and was re-
lieved in the eighth by Long Tom
Hughes with the score to 1 against
him after he had given the Tigers
six hits. Detroit subsequently won,
to 2.
Tomorrow, johnson will face the
Tigers again but in a setting far diff
ferent from that of 20 years ago. 1t
will be johnson Day" and the hurl-
er instead of being raw recruit
looking hopefully into the future
will gaze backward over a career
bullying with achievements that have
made him an idol in every major
league city and on every sand lot
where baseball is played
OF the many records he has piled
up the one that is most unique has
perhaps done most to endear him to
the games followers. It mirrors the
man. Not once In his long career
has he had serious argument with
an umpire or been ordered from the
field or bench. When the decisions
go the other way, the "Old Master
is a good loser.
A number of Johnson's records
are due to the fact that he has stay
ed in the game so much longer than
the average pitcher, but there are
many more to which this fact has no
relation.
In 1920 he pitched a no hit game
against the Red Sox For - sea-
sons he led the American league
pitchers In number OF strikeouts. For
six seasons he achieved the greatest
number of victories and in two years
had the lowest earned-run mark In
1908 he won three successive games
from the Yankees. In 1910 he fan
ned three Philadelphia pinch-hitters
in a row and in 1913 he pitched Sc
consecutive scoreless innings.
Johnsons first world series oppor-
tunity came in 1924 after he had
been pitching II years. Then. after
apparently having failed. he faced
the Giants as relief pitcher in the
deciding game of the series and was
credited with the victory that gave
Washington its first world champion

New Britain Club Members
Finally Come Through

The New Britain Tennis club
team finally came into its real form
Saturday when 1t defeated the Ber-
lin tennis team headed by the two
Benson brothers. by a clean sweep
of all the matches.
The Berlinites brought a strong
combination to this city in an eff
fort to snatch a victory from the
locals. Besides the Bensons, Silsbee,
Cooper and Van Open played with
the crew. The best that the town
could offer. however. was a poor
match for the New Britain court
stars. who were in excellent form
and unbeatable Saturday afternoon.
Murdoch took Art Benson into
camp winning two out of three.
Duncan set down Cooper in straight
sets. Dressed measured Benson two
out of three and Vogel gave silsbee
lacing in straight sets.
