"Spitba Barred Ln Baseball Used Secretly Says Write
Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan COrrcspOndent)

Daytona Beach, Fla, March 12-- (UP)-The two big country boys were hungry, dirty and tired. They had hitch-hiked from the hills of Pennsylvania and caInped on the beach here and lived off hot-dogs while getting up enough nerve to ask Joe Engei for a try-out as pitch- CTS with his Chattanooga Southern league baseball team.
 Engel looked the boys over and said okay. go on out there on the hill and throw a few. The tow-head- ed left-hander worked first, in his stocking feet, because he didn't have any spiked shoes and his street ones kept slipping. He was easy and loose despite his nervousness. His pal, a right-hander, looked even bet ter. He kept his regular shoes on, but they didn't keep his fast ball from coming in there good.
 When they had finished Engel slipped them @ few dollars, hustled them off to a hotel for some food and sleep, and told them to be back in the morning.
 Never Can Tell
 As the boys walked off grinninR the money clutched in their hands, Engel laughed and said to me: I'm a sucker for those big sandlot kids who like baseball enough to take any sort of punishment to play 1t. And you never can tell what they are going to turn out to be. Iissen, just looking at those kids takes me back to 1907 when I was bat boy for the old Washington Nationals. One day we had a rookie come in who was such a rube that even us kids had to laugh at him. Say, he had on a derby hat and Q suit with sleeves that hit him just Q little below the elbows and with pants that missed the top of his shoes by six inches. They were button shoes, too, and he had Q watch fob as big as a pie plate across his middle. The big farmer said he was from Idaho and that he had come to pitch for Washing ton and that his name was Walter Johnson"
 Engel swears that in all the his- tory Of baseball there never was Q greenhorn to match Johnson.
 Walter was discovered in Idaho by a man who travelled that section for a meat packing company, and who was a friend of the Washing, ton manager. Joe Cantillion. He wrote and said there was a big, gawky fellow out in Idaho playing on diamonds where they used rocks for bases, who was striking out everybody as fast as they got up.
 "SmOke" Ball
 When he got to Washington, Johnson had no wind-up whatso- ever. he would just suddenly pull his arm back and throw. And he'd throw 1t so fast you couldn't see It. In one of the first games he played he rounded second and turned to his right. just as you are allowed to at first base. He was tagged out somewhere in centerfield and when he got back to the bench explained that where he came from, you were allowed to round second and third just as you were first base"
 Engel saw Johnson pitch his first game-a great Detroit team beat him 2 to 1, when he made field. ing error on a bunt-and after that

game he walked the three miles back to the hotel where the team was living.
 walter never had heard of a team having transportation to and from the park" Engel said. 50 when he finished he just started hiking down the middle of Seventh street to the hotel. He hadn't chang cd from his uniform, either, and he made @ fine sight in the blue Wash igton suit with the teams name written in white across the chest"
 No one will ever make Engel be- lieve that there ever was a pitcher to match Johnson. He has seen all the good ones for more than thirty years, but swears the "big train" never will be topped.
 He didn't have a thing, but his speed until near the close of his career" Engel explains. "The bat ters all knew what to expect, but still they couldn't hit him. remem- Der one time Washington went in- to New York a dead last and the New Workers kidded Cantillion about being 50 deep in the cellar. So, to get even, he threw Johnson at them on Friday, on Saturday, and then on Monday. He locked 'em three times and shut 'em up"
 The chances are that neither of the hitch-hiking boys Engel be- friended will be Walter Johnsons, or anything like Walter Johnson, but Joe is afraid not to give 'em a chance.
 He still remembers that apparition in derby which appeared in Wash- ington years and years ago.
