It was done August 17th, 1894, off Pitcher John Wads- worth, of Louisville, who has never been heard of since. Probably that game is the reason, They talk about Walter Johnson being the strike-out king, but how about the struck-out king?

The athletic preacher is a Can~ adian, having been born in Chatham, and back ia the '80's and early '90's was one of the best known of Can- adian athletes, He! was adept at al- most every branch of sport, and it is owing to his former prowess in this direction that he has been chosen as one of those who will teach Uncle Sam's sons to enjey the hours that they are not engaged in fighting the Boche, Cobb to Replace Hughey Jennings? is persistently rumored in baseball circles that this is Hugh Jennings' last year as manager of the Detroit Tigers. Jennings has failed utterly and Detroit fans. are clamoring for a successor. There is another report in cireulation that when the time comes to. supplant Jennings the management of the Tigers will be offered to Tyrus Ray- mond Cobb. From various sources it is learn- ed that Cobb and Jennings are at loggerheads and that the Georgian Peach has managerial ambitions. Cubs Sign Veteran Catcher.

R nden, sec retary of the Hamilton Jockey Club who are New York visitors, both spoke encouragingly of the future outlook for racing in Canada. Mr. Louden expressed the opinion that the Canadian Racing Association could have the sport restored almost at once if they made the effort. "It 18 an orgamization, though, that has always been governed bv a most conservative policy, and those in control do not care. to take a chance on too hasty action. They want nothing but strickly legitimate racing, and are determined that when the report is revived it shall be free from all features and policies that are objectionable, They believe that this is the only way in which the higher class of sportsmen can be at- tracted, and without their support there is little ¢hance of putting rac- ing on a plane: that will give it the standing it merits and absolutely 4n- sure its permanence." Detroit Dropping Down. The standing of the Detroit Tigers in the race for the American League pennant has been the surprise of the season. After making such a bid for the pennant in 1918, it was thought that the team would in a year or s¢ round into a strong ag- gregation. Only "one regular has been lost from the line-up which battled the Red Sox so hard in 1916, while other teams which have been badly riddled are up much higher in the race. The same old trouble seems to be following Hugh Jennings--mpoor pitching--for last week the Tigers made 107 hits, with a team average of .320 for the week, but lost six games out of ten. Cobb made 23 of the 107 hits iQ 45 times at bat. Novelty In Golfing Stunt. Frank J. Helmle, of the Marine and Field Club of Brooklyn, is well known as a golfer of ability. An idea of the excellence of that player may be judged from the fact that his driving is so long that, to cover possible injuries to others away off in the distance by his far-fiying rubber'cores, he carries an insurance of $5,000. Playing the other day with a friend who, although a weak player, had an exaggerated idea of his skill driver, Mr. Helmle casually mention- ed his insurance. "Good idea, that, Frank," said the friend. "I'll have to take out some. Why, only last week I nearly hit a chap standing near the tee with a savage slice, If'I'd hit him I'd have killed him. Yes, sir, that insurance is a dandy." : "No. Man's Land Fight." New York World: Besides the boxing there will be a novel military event termed 'No Man's Land Fight.'

Oh boy! AN INTERRUPTED GAME OF CARDS fg guns To -- ' HAVE HIS LITTLE JOKE. | WALTER JOHNSON 1s as 'al SAME OLD WIZARD Though He Made Poor Start, Washington Pitcher Is Hav- ing Great Season. Walter Johnson has been recog- nized as one of the greatest pitchers ile game ever produced. ' For the last decade he has ranked among less than half a dozen great twirlers in the major leagues, While a¥ in- dividual pitcher may have excelled him for a particular season, John- son's record, along with that of Al- exander's, stands out conspicuously as the best for the last eight years. He is now serving his eleventh sea- son with Washington, the club with which he entered the major arena. Including the games he has won this season, Johnson has a string of 263 victories to his «redit. This means that his average per season reaches nearly twenty-four games, This is a remarkable record, os- pecially when it is considered that the speed king won a total of only thirty-two games his first three years in the majors, hie entering as a boy in his teens. Exclusive of his work this season, Johnson has struck out 2,297 bats. men and passed 743 batters, A high average of Js passes was handed out in his first Years, when he lacked the fine control he now possesses. Like his compeer of the decade, Alexander, Johnson never has achieved the feat as dear to the heart of every pitcher ---a no-hit game, Three times, how- expr, he has held opponents to single hit, while he has figured in seventy- two shut-out battles, including the games he has lost this year, he has suffered defeat in 183 games, While Alexander's record is not available now, it might be stated that in his sixteen years of service Mat- hewson won 372 gathes and lost 189, while for the same, period Eddie Plank won 209 and lost 179. Striking Out in New Line. At the agé®of 48, that world-fam- ous golfer. J. H. Taylor, who was the first English professional to beat all the Scottish professionals at the games, it striking out in a new line of life. He has been appointed a supervisor of canteens to the Navy and Army "Canteens Board.
