t x tALTER JOHNSON and Boeh-
W ling, two Washington tw*tri
ers, are fighting it out for
the pitching honors of Ban Johnson's
circuit. Boehling has taken part in
thirteen games this season and has
managed to put eleven of these on
the right side of the ledger. The real
honors, however, go to Johnson. The
big hurler has won twenty-five games
so far this season, while he has tasted
defeat but five times.
Brown and Bender, of the Ath
letics are also showing much class
on the firing line. Both have a per-
| centage over the .700 mark.
Following are the figures up to and
including Wednesday’s game
Here’s How the Athletics
Manage to Hit Ball So Hard
F ir .several years it has been charged that the Athletics by some
method or other have been .stealing ihe opposing team’s battery signals,
which has enabled them to hit 1110s* any kind of pitching. Whether,
this is trm or not, no one willing to do so is able to say, but there is no
doubt* that the team has been benefited by the fact that this suspicion
exist*.
There is one noticeable fact in the offensive work of the Athletics
which may to some extent explain their remarkable hitting. It is that
in most instances the batters are h'tting with two balls and no strikes
on them, and frequently with the count three to one in their favor. They
are picking the spots when the pitcher is trying to get the ball over
the plate and when lie H not putting much on the sphere. The Athlet
ic s do not do much waiting w hen there are men on the bases. They are
taking their wallops at such times, which may account for the large
number of runs they are scoring.

"If Radbourne and other old-timers i
could do it. so can I. You also can j
call on me for three games in each 1

Motor Truck’s Work
Has Only Started,
Says Geo. C. Diehl
"Motor trucks must be reckoned
with as factors in transportation
Their economic advantage in short
hauls Is causin'* their adoption by
hundreds where the roads have been
improved; and the vast extension ot
their use only waits for the roads to
be built. Their fullest utilization will
come when all the main roads of the
country are constructed to accommo
date them. In and near the large
centers of population they are rap
idly displacing horses in the trans
port of commodities.” So declared
Chairman George C. Diehl, of the A.
A. A. National Good Roads Board.
"Civilization has never witnessed
such a change as has taken place in
the transportation of persons and
goods in the past ten years,” said he.
"With the railroad for the carriage of
through freight, good roads and au
tomobiles will round out and complete
a perfect system of transportation,
and ‘thread together the energies of
the nation,' a happy expression used
by President Woodrow Wilson in his
address to the American Road Con
gress.**
