ftDIIMYIS Py fiAtEMU Copyright NEa. Service BiEJ Evans No. 19: The Greatest Pitching I Ever Saw

O Walter Johnson goes the credit of pitching the three greatest consecutive games I ever saw a major league pitcher turn in. Johnson performed his three remarkable

pitching feats on Sept. 4,5, 7, 190S, against the New York Americans in that city. Johnson shut, out the Yankees, then known as the Highlanders, in three straight games. The peculiar part of the feat was the more Johnson pitched the better he got. In those days the single umpire system was in use in the major leagues. It was my very great privilege to be entirely in charge of those three games, which I believe stand unequaled from a pitching poUit of view. While those three games In which Johnson shut out New York on consecutive days were remarkable pitching feats, they were soft picking from the angle of the umpire. The reason—New York was helpless before Johnson, while Washington would early assume a lead that would make the game secure with Johnson going at top speed. I didn't have to do much running around the bases In those three games, as mighty few players got on.

The first game was played Friday, Sept. 4, 1908, Washington winning 3 to 0, Johnson allowing the losers only six hits. The second game was played Saturday, Sept. 5, 1908, Washington defeating New York 6 to 0. Johnson allowed four hits. Monday was Labor day, two games being scheduled. In Monday’s papers, j.Toe Cantillon, the Washington manlager, announced that if Johnson shut | out New York in the third game he would send Walter right back for the fourth consecutive time. New York used the great Jack Chesbro against Johnson to break the shut-out epidemic. Johnson turned in the best game of tlie three, winning 4 to 0, New York making only two hits. In the late Innings of the game, Johnson was hit on the right arm by or.o of Chesbro's fast spitbalis. Tha game whs delayed about five minutes while Johnson had the arm massaged. He finished the game, but during the Intermission the arm became so sore that Cantillon decided not to risk working Walter in the second game of the day. Three shut-outs in three consecutive games, allowing 6, 4 and 2 hits in each affair, is to my way of thinking a really wonderful pitching feat. Next: The Best Bit of Strategy 1 j Ever Saw.

DENTALS CONTINUE WINNING STREAK Valparaiso Quintet Is Defeated 34 to 26. What do you think of our Indiana Dents now? Evidently the Toothpullers are going somewhere. After defeating Earlham Saturday they tangled with the Valparaiso University team at the ■ “Y” Tuesday night and copped the laurels, 34 to 26. it was the kind of game that keeps the fans frantic. One point separated the teams at the half and the second session was a wild scramble that had everybody in the gym dizzy with excitement. Up and down the floor the netters battled. Players of both teams were prone on the floor much of the time. Headlong dives were frequent.. It was a case of the survival of the fittest and the Dentals survived. Yalpo was not easy by any means. The boys from upstate were a riproarin’ crew and they w#nt down fighting. Harris, the star floor guard, not only went down —he went out. In a wild scramble Under the Valpo basket I iarsis received a jolt that cut a big gash over one eye. He was a power for the visitors and they felt it when he was carried off the court. Coach Ross Smith's Dentals really put up a splendid game and they deserved to win. They displayed an en durance that showed long practice and good coaching. To say the Dental College rooter? went wild after the victory Is saying only half of It. Back Guard Rowe was a whale on defense. Each team made only one substitution. LOCAL CUEISTS IN FORM Indianapolis Is leading the Indiana Illinois Three Cushion Billiard league with eighteen games won and six lost. Harry Cooler and Lewis Vogler added two contests to the win string here Tuesday, Cooler defeating Molane of Champaign, 111.. 50 to 25, and Vogler downing the same player. 50 to 40. Cooler performed the feature feat of the day when he clicked off a high run of nine. Vogler was also in grand rorm and counted runs of seven and six.

MUCH LABOR TO 1 UNDO IF SPEED RACE ISN’T HELD 10,000 Seats Already Reserved for Classic —Other Dates Not Favored, By EDDIE ASH. Speed race fans seem to be going on the theory that they are going to get their usual day of thrills next Memorial day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. | The bill now before the State Legislature which would prohibit the running of the annual 500-mile event on Memorial day, doesn't appear to be worrying race followers. Already 10,000 seat reservations have been made for the 1923 five-cen- ; tury grind, it was learned at th 9 Speedway offices today. That is'quito a sum of advance orders and the race I scheduled more than four months away. Ts the anti-Memorial day sports bill passes the Speedway office employes rnav have a lot of labor to undo bo-j caus< il has been learned semi-* ; officially that the Speedway management/ may not be in a mood to undertake to stage the event if racing Memorial day is placed under the legal ban. The race hardly can be shifted to any other holiday because othei tracks have priority claims. As for July 4, Tacoma has that date, and anyway the weather is too warm in Indiana during July to risk a 500-mlle grind. As for Labor day, it Is regarded as ; out of season for auto race fans. As for changing the race to a Sat- ' urday this plan w r as tried in 1919 and did not prove successful from a flnaiii <_>ial standpoint. The international ! 500. mile race is an expensive affair, anl according to the speedway management. unless the event is staged on a holiday not enough people can get away from their employment to attend in sufficient numbers to make , the affair a profitable venture. Therefore, the situation appears to indicate that if the anti-Memorial j sports hill becomes a. law the Indiani a polls 500 mile race cannot live, ADDITIONAL SPORT PAGE 7
