N0 GAME IS TONIGHT
The Norwulk Big Five will stack up
against the Stamford Separates this
evening at the Norwalk Armory. In
the preliminary game the Battery C
five will take on the Denox masks/Zia!
team from New York City. 'lheso
two games should be among the best
of the season.
The Stamford Separates are one of
the best. teams in this section of the
country. and have scored wins over
the Bridgeport Kaceys and thel
Bridgeport Y. M. IT. A. Both of these
games were won on the Park City
team's own court. “Beef" Carlson.
who last season played with the Big
Five. will be in the lineup of the vis-
itors. They will also have other well
known players of the Loek City with
them. The Norwalk team will. use
their usual strong lineup.
The preliminary game should also
be a hummer. as the Battery manage-
ment is bringing the Lenox team up
from New York City. The Lenox
five has made a. fine record this sea-
son.
Professor Cochran will referee the
games this evening. He is‘ consid-
ered as one of the best referees in the
country. and his work in the Brown-
Center game at the Armory on last
Saturday afternoon was excellent.
The teams will line up as follows:

SEEKS MEADOWS
By NBA Service
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 31. -— The
first big problem that confronts
Arthur Fletcher, new manager of the
Philadelphia Nationals. is Lec
Meadows.
Is Meadows loafing on the Job or
has he a sore arm? Fletcher must
make a final decision in the matter.
For several years Manager McGraw
of the Giants has been anxious to add
Meadows to his stafl of pitchers. That
is the reason. for the thought that
Meadows may not be taking his work
seriously. ,
Those who know Meadows scout the
idea. that he is not doing his best.
Others are of the belief that the
knowledge that McGraw is after him
may have something to do with his
cry of" sore arm and his inability to
win.

“falter Johnson. famous hurler of
the Washington Americans. is the old-
est pitcher in either of the big leagues
in point of service. Johnson broke
into the big show in 1907. and there-
for has seen 16 years of activity in
the main tent. all of which have been
spent in a Senator uniform.
. During that time the once great
speed-ball king has hung up many en-
viable records, despite the fact that he
has always been under the handicap
of working for a club which has been
a consistent loser—a second-division -
outfit.
There is no telling what Johnson
might have accomplished on the
mound had he been supported by a
winning aggregation. Doubtless he
would have~estabiished some marks
which would have been hard to equal.
let alone surpass.
But regardless of the destiny of
fate. Johnson‘s career has been an ex-
ceptionally brilliant one. In fact.
many of the present-day records are
held by the Washington star. who. by
the way, is one of the few "big grins"
of baseballdom ' who has never par-
ticipsted_ in a world series. because
\Vashington has yet to win its first
pennant. ‘
Johnson's best year was in 1913.
whens)"; won 36 games and lost but 7.
a pa entage of .837. Incidentaiy. this
stands, as‘ the third highest average
turned in.by American League hurlcrs.

in 1912. leading the field with 34 vic-
tories and 5 defeats for the .872 mark.
and "Wild Bill” Donovan of the De-
troit Tigers ranking second with 28
and 4. a percentage of .862.
In 1910 Johnson fanned 313 batters.
as compared to the league record of
343. made by "Rube" Waddell in 1904.
In 1915 he hurled 56 scoreless innings.
a mark that still stands. and with Joe
“food he also holds the, consecutive
victory' title. winning 18 straight
games in 1913. Johnson set another.
record by pitching three successive
shutduts. against the Yankees.
Johnson has whiffed over 2.900
batsmen in the 16 years he has been
in the circuit.'surpassing the old mark
of 2.809 hung up by Cy Young over a
22-year span. And in 1921 he passed
Eddie Plank's high mark of 303 victo-
ries. He also has one no-hit game to
his credit, hurling that in 1920.

challenger from severe punishment.
bu't it also kept him out of the title.

,-It was not until the tenth round

was unable to do much damage. The
