Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 155, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 June 1913 — Jennings Praise Johnson. [ARTICLE]

Jennings Praise Johnson.

Hughey Jennings has this to say of Walter Johnson: "Johnson is the greatest pitcher I have ever seen. It's hard to say whether Walter has more speed than Amos Rusie. I have never batted against Johnson, so I cannot tell definitely about that Johnson is ideal, not only as to his pitching ability, but also as to his disposition. Manager Griffith knows that be can rely absolutely upon Johnson. If be tells him to finish a game Walter is willing. If be unexpectedly tells him to start Walter is ready. If he advertises his pitching days ahead Walter is ready. Johnson doesn't blame his support if it happens to ¥ be a little wabbly. ‘Everybody has to have a bad day once In a while,* he’ll sky."
