n YEW YORK. January 16.-With
the arrival OF the New Year
~ Walter JOhnson's army of ad-
/ Y mirers may scan the record
books and moan because the
great pitcher will not go forward in
1928 to attain still further heights in
the major leagues which no other
pitcher ever reached.
Well, Walter has gone to the minors,
to manage the Newark team OF the In
ternational League. and the year won't
be the same to the citizens of WASH
ington. d. c.
Whein the big train retired from
the Washington club at the end OF the
1927 season, he left behind him many
maximum records for American League
pitchers. Walter pitched the most
years in the American League ever
credited to pitcher. If he could have
gone one more year he would have tied
the record Of Cy Young, and then If he
could have gone little further he
would have set new world mark.
Twenty-Five years as a pitcher means
a quantity OF work that can be Calcu-
lated only by estimate
Made Over 100000 Pitches.
Walter took part in 802 American
League SCneOuled games. II YOU as

right arm was 1920 pitches. ANY one
doubling that to be task should make
it stunt and try to do it for fun and
not for hire. The estimated ITO per
game may be too low for johnson. as
he was prodigal with his arm.
Add to these $4,000 pitches about
$4,000 for exhibition and practice
games during that term Of years. and
there will be healthy total of about
10000. The power generated by the
johnson arm might not have run an
ocean liner for one trip but 1t woulc

His strikeout record may be beaten
some day, but not by any OF the present
type of pitchers. They lack two Things,
and the greater of the two Is speed. ~
never has been possible actually TO
measure speed of a pitcher to the mi
n,Itest fraction. but the observation OF
batters and catchers Is that Johnson
had more continuous speed than any
other pitcher except perhaps young.
The total major league Strikeouts &C
credited to Johnson will be three snort
of $500. He ran away from all rivals
and contemporaries in that exhibit OF
pitching skill.
No One Near His Records.
No one Is within reach OF him in the
American League, and the pitcher HosI
successful in that respect in the Ma
tional League--Christy MatneWsonn
has passed on. Matty was decidedly
different from Johnson as a strikeout
pitcher. Matty had speed, but not con-
tinuous speed. His strikeouts came TO
him as the success of his fadeaway,
when that whimsical drop ball, oozing
toward the ground, was holding him at
the height of his skill.
There is one record made by johnson
which is confirmation or his great
speed rather than evidence of lack
of control. He made more wild pitches
in one season than any other Amer
lean League pitcher. and that was be-
cause he put such speed behind the
ball that no catcher could reach II.
Leon Ames has that record in the Ma
tional League He was an old Giant
pitcher. and, like johnson, he had speed
and much of it. His wildness was
more because of the terrific twist that
he put on the ball. His curve would
curve away from the control OF the
catcher 10 feet from the home plate.
johnson tied with Joe Wood for con-
secutive victories in his league. each
having 16. and he led his league six
times in winning the most games in a
season. There arc other little records
that he has here and there, and all OF
them such records as would be expected
from a pitcher of abnormal speed.

ROD AND STREAM
BY Perry Miller

into the basin after each heavy rain.
After downpour the water from the
cutters is allowed to empty into the
Basin through n series of pipes run
ming from the roadways surrounding
the Basin. This water naturally car
ries off the oil dropped from automo-
biles and the tar placed on these
roads. both of which are very de-
structive to fish life.
The Office of Public Buildings and
Parks of the National Capital has done
everything requested OF Il by the
anglers of Washington to conserve
fish life. and when this evil is called
To- its attention probably will i'm
mediatcly take steps TO remedy this
condition.
One Of the most interesting phases
OF fish life pertains To the enemies OF
fishes. II has been proved that If only
three eggs from each female of each
species should develop into adult fish
similarly productive, fish life would
multiply so rapidly that the seas would
soon become oVercrowded. What does
happen is that less than one egg in
2,o00 900 in the cod produces a repro
ducing cod. and even in the herring
less than one in 10. 900 successfully
runs the Gamut of existence.
The perils fish have 10 face are
innumerablc. Experts estimate that
only ) per cent OF the herring de.
stroyed annually by all herring en-.
emies IN the world find their fate
at the hands OF man. The other -
per cent arc the victims OF whales.

mammals: cod. haddock. mackercl
sharks and other fishes. gulls and
other birds. and the thousand and
one other enemies that Turk In their
wake ut every stage. from the newly
spawned egg 10 the adult fish. Pro
rort!onaiely, the same applies TO the
other fishes of the seas.
The migration Of fishes forms one
of the most fascinating romances az
the sea. The shad. the salmon and
either species spend their adult lives
in tho sea and seek fresh water in
which to spawn: and others. such
rs the cells. spend their lives in riv.
crs and lakes and seek salt water al
spawning time. The mackerel and the
flying fish families wander far from
their usual haunts at spawning time.
Other species follow the great schools
