Near Capacity Throng Sees Game at Butler

Indianapolis was cock of the walk in the National Basketball league race today after dishing out the most humiliating defeat ever handed the Ft. Wayne Zollners, The Kautskys went into last night's game at the Butler fleldhouse with revenge on their minds. And they got it. The final score was 65 to 39, and a near-capacity throng was treated to some fancy ballhandling and shooting—virtuaily all ot it by Coach Ernie Andres’ hired hands. The visitors started strong but they couldn't handle the faster Kautskys and Leo Klier paced the home boys to an 18-10 first period lead. Pt. Wayne stayed a little closer

++ during the second stanza, but the

Kautskys still enjoyed a healthy 35-

.|23 bulge when the teams went to

the dressing rooms. Foul Frequently Andres, Bob Dietz and Herm Schaefer were the chief gunners in a 21-point third period which left the upstaters gasping and mad. They began to foul frequently and flagrantly as the score mounted and their own attack bogged down. Indianapolis largely was content to play a possession game in the final 10 minutes, breaking Woody Norris open for two field goals and Bill Closs for one. Bob Tough got two long ones for Ft. Wayne and Curly Armstrong and Charley Shipp a free throw apiece. Andres was the game's scoring leader with 13 points while Schaefer

. land Arnold Risen were close behind

with 12 each to their credit. Avenge Defeat The triumph more than avenged ‘the lone Indiandpolis defeat in league play at Pt. Wayne in an overtime and gave the locals the over-all leadership with nine victories in 10

ment from baseball in August, 1935. | He was removed to Georgetown hospital where he died. A half dozen times, life had ebbed desperately low for Mr. Johnson.| And a half dozen times he rallied! with the same gameness that made | him the paragon of pitchers—perhaps the greatest, certainly the fastest, of all time.

Started in 1907

‘The fabulous fireballer, whose achievements are recorded in baseball's “hall of fame” at Cooperstown, N. Y,, did all his major league pitching for the Washington Senators. He broke in with them in 1907 and closed out his active playing career in 1827 after suffering a broken leg in spring training. In that span, the big raw-boned right-hander from Humboldt, Kas. fashioned one of the greatest pitching records in baseball history. He won 414 games, a record surpassed only by Cy Young. Those triumphs—achieved with a team that finished in the second division during 15 of Mr. Johnson's 21 big league pitching years—earned him the nickname “Big Train.” He always was pulling his teammates through without much support. Pitekad 113 Shutouts -.an all-time major league record of 113 shutouts. It was Mr. Johnson's blazing fast ball that inspired the famed, and unanswerable, baseball alibl--“You can't hit 'em when you can't see ‘em.” And it was his high hard one that brought him a big league strikeout record that hasn't even been approached—3497. His strikeout victims Included all of the mightiest American league sluggers of his time. Shoeless Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb, Bddie Collins, Babe Ruth, Harry Heilmann, Tris Speaker, George Sisler, Lou Gehrig and =| dummy Foxx. Mr. Johnson led the American] league pitchers in strikeouts for 12, years. He set a record, since tied,| of six consecutive strikeouts in one! game. He struck out 313 batters in ohe season—35 short of the new record fashioned in 1946 by Cleveland's Bob Feller, Mr. Johnson's successor as the speed ball king of the majors. Two-No-Hitters Among his many pitching feats were 56 consecutive scoreless innings and two no-hitters—one a rainshortened seven-inning affair. Mr. Johnson pitched 60 games of 1 to 0, winning 40 and losing 20. He led the league in victories for three years and twice went over

the 30-victory mark—with -32 triumphs in 1912 and 36 in 1913. He finished his major league

pitching career as he started it, losing to the Detroit Tigers. Though best remembered for his| pitching, Mr. Johnson also was a| fearsome hitter. A long ball hitter, |

that won his own game. Mr. Johnson took part in two world series—in 1924 against the New York Giants and in 1925 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The two series brought exactly opposite results for Mr. Johnson and the

Best-Rememberd Error Against the Giants, Mr. Johnson lost his first two starts, but eked out a 12-inning 4 to 3 victory in the deciding game. That victory came on one of the best-remembered freaks in all world series history—a grounder. by Earl McNeely that hit a pebble in front of Third Baseman Freddie Lindstrom and bounced away for the blow that scored Muddy Ruel. He had doubled after being reprieved when New York Catcher Hank

| Gowdy stumbled on his mask and | mufted a pop-up. The following year, Mr. Johnson: won his first two starts against the Pirates, but lost the deciding game, 9-7. It was a heart-breaker, for Mr, Johnson lost the battle on unearned runs. His infield, slipping and sliding in the rain, collapsed behind him. After he hung up his pitching glove in 1927, Johnson turned to managing. He piloted the Senators from 1829 through 1932 and ended his major league career man-

1933 until August, 1935. Mr. Johnson then retired to his Maryland farm. In 1940, he ran for congress from Maryland on the? Republican ticket. But his fame as a baseball player was not enough to carry him through in a traditionally Democratic district.
