On Aug. 2 of this year johnson
celebrated his twentieth anniversary
as a member of the Washington
club. Money and gifts to a value
of over $4,000 we're presented to
him. No bigger tribute could be
offered to his immense popularity
with fandom.

be his last season in the American
League.
TT NOUESTIONABLY, to Walter
johnson, this has been the
- most unsatisfactory season
OF his entire career. He had hoped
to make it one of his best.
with the year practically over,
johnson has only five victories to
his credit, against the same number
Of defeats. Back in 1918, he won
more than seven times that many
games. finishing with thirty-six
wins.
Johnson's troubles started In the
spring. In training at Tampa, Fla,
in late March, a line drive from Joe
Judges bat broke a bone in john
sons foot.
That injury put him out Of the
running until June, when he made
most impressive debut by shutting
out the Boston Red Sox. In train
ing In Florida, johnson looked great
and expected to have a big year.
Like all great athletes, leg trou-
BILE, rather than arm trouble, may
cause johnson to retire from the
majors sooner than he had ex-
pected to.
