THIS SEASON
\~\ THEN the curtain is rung down
\/\ next month, ending the
American league season,
Walter Johnson will probably be
bailed as the greatest pitcher of all
time. The big Washington hurler has
already won 30 games this season,
and if he continues to work at his
present clip he should have nearly
4ft games chalked up to his credit
when the season ends.
But seVen teams have defeated the
tall blond so far this year. His great
work has done more to keep Wash
ington in the first division than the
combined work of the entire pitching
staff.
Chief Render. Connie Mack's In
dian slabman, Is second in the list.
He is followed by Houck, Wood and
Falkenberg.
