Already tho students feel that he las had a successful year. If the team should lose the remainder ot its schedule, Olcott would still be considered good coach.

He came in with a sreen team to start on, and the few veterans had been worked under four different coaches and were about as uncertain of their principles as the new members of the squad But Olcott has developed a machine which will be under him for thrse years, and he will without a doubt show startling results in the future.

Candidly I did not expect the Boston club to take the liberties it did with the Philly star. I know the Red Sox had much hitting strength, but I held such a high opinion of Alexander that I figured he would hold the whip hand. Even though he won a 3 to 1 victory, in the opening game, it was not scored in the impressive style I had expected. I felt cetairn that something must have ailed Moran's mainstay. In our dressing room after the game I remarked to Bill Klem.

"Well, 1' didn't expect Boston to hit him nearly so hard as they did," I To my way ot" thinking the great C'obh had paid Johnson a very unique compliment. Being able to buzz the ball past the batter before he can decide just when he should start swinging is quite an art, but all American league batters will freely confess that when Johnson goes into high speed he can turn the tiick.s The records of the 1915 ince in the tw major leagues show Alexander up to better advantage tvith thirty-one victories to his credit and only eight defents( while Johnson captured twenty-eight games and suffered thirteen reverses. Records don't always prove greatness, for many conditions must also he figured in with the games won and lost. In just six of histhirteen defeatas the "Washington club was shutout, so that Johnson's chances of victory in those starts were mighty slim.

Johnson Saves Speed. During the past three 01 four years Johnson's work has not been as impressive as in former years. His strikeout list has not boon nearly so big, and his few hit games have been much scarcer. I attribute this to the fact that Johnson does not always work at top speed, as was Ins custom at one iinie. His solo desir? is to win, and do it as easily as "possible.
