THEIR ONE BEST GAME
AS VIIS1TED BY MODERN PITCHING STARS
BY DILLY EVAXS
Written Especially for This Paper by the Famous American
Umpire.
League
WALTER JOHNSON'S record
since joining the American
league fairly teems with won
H. rful pitching performances. Shut
' uts galore are credited to Johnson,
tra inning victories are numerous, '
.mi low hit games are the rule with
luin lather than the execution. On a
number of occasions he has been de
nied the honor of breaking into the
list of no h:L twirlers by a fluke safety
late in the game Gimes In which he
his nhiffed eight or more men haTe
bevn rather common
The Philadelphia club of the Ameri-
in league is a fiard team for any
irler to beat. Mack's athletes can
11 1 r the pill and few twirlers give them
it worry. Despite bis great speed
nml fast breaking curve, Johnson has
'ounil the Jlackmen a worthy foe. 1
once heard Walter say that any time a
twlrler trimmed Hack's team he owed
himself a vote of thanks. He also re
marked that any time a pitcher let
the Philadelphia team down with a
few hits and recorded a ' shutout, he
not only must have had a lot of stuff
but also must have been favored by the
breaks In luck.
One of Ills Greatest Feats.
It is only natural then, that Walter
should regard n. game he pitched
against the Athletics on the opening
day of the 1910 season as one of the
very best feats of his truly remark
able career. The contest was staged
on April 14 at Washington. The fact
that it was the opening mine, the
Athletics the attraction, and Johnson
scheduled to pitch, caused an over
flow crowd to fill the old park in that
city. Only this overflow crowd kept
Johnson from pitching a no hit game.
He beat the Athletics 3 to 0. The one
hit of the game Frank Baker was
credited as a double, although on a
clear field it would have been the
easiest kind of an out for Zeb Milan, J
It was agreed that a hit into the '
crowd should go for two base:;. An
oidinary fly ball, that would have been
an easy out except for the crowd, fell
among the fans. Just out of Milan's
reach, despite a desperate effort on his j
part to pluck It out o. tne crowd.
Ine Fanned Out,
That was the only hit of the game.
In the other innings it was urually
the one, two, three order. Nine of the
men vho faced Walter went out on
strikes. For the opening game of the
year, against a team of batters like
the Athletics, it was, indeed, a grea,t
pitching feat. On September 25, 1910
near the close of the season, Johnson
beat St. Louis by a 3 to 0 score, al
lowing only one hit and striking out
eleven men. On August 16, 1912, he
beat Chicago 4 to 0, allowing only one
hit. the rankest kind of a scratch by
Hath. This game was Johnson's 14th
consecutive win, which would have
made it all the more remarkable had
not Rath got away wltli a fluke blngle.

and arrangements for the trip around
the circuit, starting Wednesday morn- I
ing. were about completed.
Bill Hurley, the manager whom Mc
Closkey had been trying to get from
the Saskatoon club of the old Western
Canada league, was heard from by
wire, declaring that he is ready to cast
in his lot with the league here and
asking for further details. HcCloskey
will wire him the required details to
night and ask him to comevhere at once,
as Hurley is an experienced organizer
and will prove of much assistance in
getting the league going.
Jack Atkins is after a Chicago man
to act as business manager of the
Phoenix club for him and an answer
from the windv city man is expected
any time now.
Hugh Harbin, the local baseball
player who has been in the Texas
league for the past two years, left Sun

get in shape for the coming season.
