Two things are to blame. Our

self thus this morning.
Whereas many pilots would
dodge the blame for the tragic
ending of yesterdays 10-7 defeat
handed Washington, johnson
readily steps into the picture.
Proper Move
Marberry himself paints a diff
ferent picture. After careful de-
liberation he said today:
"After thinking it over I'm
convinced Walter did the right
thing. I've never had much
trouble with COchrane. But
he's great cIOuter, takes a
lefthand cut and was danger
GUS at the time.
81 might have worked OH Sim
mons differently. The upShOt
of the whole thing, however,
is that he got hold of the ball
that decided the games out
come"
Now let's take different slant.
It was the final game, of the
1924 world series. Washington
was playing the New York Giants.
After a periodical Juggling of
pitchers Walter Johnson, who
twice had been unfortunate in
starting roles, was sent to the
mound in a rescue capacity.
Twas at best a magnificent
gamble-one befitting the youth
and ingenuity of a "Bucky" Har-
riS. During the course of the
contest, which was good for IL
innings, Johnson twice was in a
hole.
Super Strategy
On each occasion the Giants
were in scoring position, and
Ross Young, normally a menac-
ing batSman who was not going
good az the time, faced him.
Young was followed by George
Kelly, a home run power and one
of the National Leagues most
feared SluggerS.
Many questioned the decision
of Harris and Johnson when
Young was passed each time.
Yet when Kelly struck out they
called 1t Super-strategy and let
it go at that. Well and good.

ond gueSSerS" ere blaming John
