Walter Johnson
Has Great Mark
for Eleven Years
THE greatest tribute to Walter
Johnson's prowess as a pitcher
can be found in the games won
column. ’
If a pitcher wins 50 hall games dur
ing the season's play he has had a
most successful year. Johnson has
turned that trick 11 times.
From 1910 to 1919, covering a peri
od of 10 seasons, Johnson won 20 or
more games every year. Ip six of the
10 years he won 25 or more games.
Johnson's best season was In 1913,
when he turned In 35 victories and
suffered only seven defeats, a most
marvelous record. The year previous
hqf won 32 games.
Winning 20 or more game# for 10
consecutive season* 1b a record of
which few pitcher* can boast.
