JOHNSON IN EARLY senixo
Walter Johnson, famous pitcher of
the Washington Americans. has had
more than his share of tough luck
during the last four on five years.
It. so happened that tough luck hits
Walter in 'the spring of each year.
thereby getting him away to a bad
start. A bad start for Johnson
means the loss of much money to the
Washington club.
Twice illness in his family has kept
Johnson train training camp until
almost to the opening of the season.’
On two other occasions illness to him-
self has gently handicapped his
, spring training.
In one other year Johnson. because
the rest of the Washington staff was
in poor shape. was overworked and
suflered an injury to his arm‘ which
remnined 'with him throughout the
year. playing havoc with his showing.
