TODEYS SPOR7uRIAL
BY Kirk Miller

One can count on the fingers
of ones hands, aye, the toes of
ones feet, the really important
names in baseball which will
live as long as the game en-
dures, and of these, that of Wal
ter johnson is not the least.
Even to those close followers
of the game, Johnson's an
nouncement of his plans for the
future, which do not embrace
further activity in a local uni
form, came as surprise, if not
an actual jolt. Baseball folks
have felt for the better part of
the recent season, that Walters
days as an active pitcher were
numbered. There has even been
current speculation as to his
program for the near future,
but like when a lingering illness
catches up with a patient, the
actual end always stuns the sur
vivors.
Washington fans are the sur
vivors in the case of or Barney,
and he'll be missed around the
old haunts where he has been
a familiar and loved figure
throughout two decades.
The team will hardly seem
natural minus johnson lolling
there on the bench, warming up
with the catchers or out there
in the heat of the combat.
johnson believes he has done
the gracious thing by withdraw
ing from the fight before he is
counted out. None is in a bet
ter position to judge as to that
than the one it most imme-
diately concerns-Johnson, HIM
self. 1t is purely his own af-
fair and however much he hates
to leave the game which has
given him prominence and which
he has adorned with a gentle
manly and athletic bearing, his
regrets only approximate those
of the thousands who idolize the
cleanest living and cleanest
playing baseball man of con-
temporary diamond history.
Unlike what the men of the
game who are today in their
heyday will do, johnson is not
leaving it a wealth man, al
though he h a nestegg that
shows his twenty years in base
ball have not be entirely in
vain.
However, had Walter come

as 1t received, All this is sour news

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. IT,
Walter johnson, famous pitcher
of the Washington Senators who
has retired from active participa-
ton in baseball, may become the

tional League team. Paul Block,
owner of the Newark Bears, has

once more when he went to Tampa
last spring and was already in fine
condition when Joe Judges line
drive broke his left leg Just above
the ankle. All his training had
been wasted and, after the cast
was removed, he had to begin all
over again. Not till Decoration Day
did he start, pitching brilliantly
against the Red Sox and winning.
However, the years had been
quietly taking their toll. His
legs had been weakening and
failed him absolutely. He won
five and lost five in the last
season. Over hk long stretch
he had won Ala games to offset
275 losses. In that record are
113 shutOut triumphs, a figure
to stand much competition.
When next April rolls around,
Johnson will be sadly missed as
the curtain rises. In 1910 ne
pitched the opening game of the
year in Washington, beating Phila.
delphia, 3 to 0, allowing one hit
and tanning nine opponents. For
the next twelve years he pitched
the opening game. Illness kept
him out of the opener in 1925 and
his broken leg prevented his ap-
pearance this year. In his IA
openers he wone nine games, his
most brilliant being a thinning vic.
tory over Eddie Rommel. in 1925.
Like the modest man he has
always been. johnson grieved over
his increasing ineffectiveness. but
kept his troubles to himself until
he asked for his release because he
couldn't be of service to the
team"
Johnson will be missed at Tampa
next year. He will be missed for a
long, long time. But, as the years
go, on, the youth OF America will
always hear of the great Walter
Johnson until he will eventually
assume the stature of a mythical
hero. And that won't be doing him
any injustice, either.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-10-17

along about ten or a dozen years
later to enjoy the high salary
era, he might be quitting the
game a very well-to-do man.
He has in his time, been just
as valuable to Washington as
Ruth and Gehrig are now to the
Yankees; but Johnson was at
his height of excellence long
before six-cylinder contracts
over a span of years were Of
fered either ball players or play
ing-L.anagers.
No pitcher of any age has
held the attractive assortment
Of pitching records which john
son will leave for posterity to
use as a target. 1t seems that
he has done everything and
more than other Fingers have
done and accomplished those
feats in less time or more time
than the others, depending on the
nature of the record. We have
seen him make many Of these
records and you have no doubt
witnessed many as well.
Of the twenty years Johnson
was with Washington, he was
the choice for starting the sea-
son for his club fourteen times,
an injured ankle having de-
prived him Of making it fifteen
times last April. We know not
how others may feel, but Of all
his performances afield, the one
which will ever stick out in our
memory is his opening day per-
Torrance aga list Ed Rommel,
of the Athletics, in 1925.
Johnson won that game by
to 0 in fifteen innings and it
was one of those tight little
games where the losing pitcher
looked just as good as the win
ner, so alright was the work
of both men.
His famous pitching duel with
Smoky Joe Wood, of the Red
Sox, is another of the high lights
in his career as is his world
series record in 1924 when he
beat the Giants for the pennant
in thinning finale. Then, too,
Johnson's great fight as he
worked against Pittsburgh in
the closing game of 1925, will
never be forgotten by those who
watched him toll.
In the course of our insignifi-
cant career around sports activi-
ties, we have often told .'olks
