sary program arranged in honor of
his two decades in Washington uni
form. many old-timers will recall the
day when the then big, gangling youth
made his ma or league debut.
There was nothing unusual about
that 1907 day itself, but 1t marked the
initial contest for the man who was
to become a pitching marvel and the
most idolized individual in the game.
The day was fair, and there were
perhaps 1000 or moro in the stands to
see the Detroit Tigers. one of the
hardest hitting clubs in the league,
perform, with Wahoo Sam Crawford
and Ty Cobb as the headliners.
Two games were scheduled for that
Friday afternoon, and much to the
surprise of those present Manager
Cantillon sent a husky, red-faced
youth, apparently fresh from the
farm, to the mound in the opener.
Those gangling arms and very ade-
quate quantity of feet were soon to
become known to every follower Of
the game. for their possessor, young
Walter Johnson then, was destined to
win his way into the hearts of all.
Fans Expected Defeat.
To most of the fans there it seemed
futile TO send this youthful Western
rookie to the mound against the ter
rife smuggling of Cobb, Crawford and
company. They expected an over
whelming victory for the Tigers.
Their fears gradually faded as the
big fellow hurled his way through
several innings. There was something
wrong with the Detroiters' big sticks.
The Tiger batsmen did not hit as they
had on former occasions. They were
hitting late. 1t did not take long for
some to realize that most of the viSi-
tors were hitting at the ball after it
had passed into the catcher's glove.
While the big youth was turning
back the Tigers in manner that
would befit the GOODNESS and clever
ness of one of the master moundsmen
of the day, he did not look the part.
those who saw the game recall. Red
faced and apparently sweltering in
the heat, the future pitching ace ap-
peared overeXcited under the strain
OF his first exhibition under the big
tent.
Bunts Upset Young Star.
The Tigers did not hesitate to take
advantage of the big fellows apparent
clumsiness. Bunting was resorted to,
with the result that Johnson became
even more excited, fumbling in his
efforts to throw the runners out at
first. On one bunt he attempted to
pick up his own foot, in mistake for
the ball, one of the sports writers
who witnessed the game stated.
For eight innings Walter held the
visitors to six hits. one of which was
a clean drive by Sam Crawford
against the scoreboard in left field. 1t
was home run. In Washington's
