I was surrounded by some 20 Washintgon players, all protesting loudly and with emphasis that I had erred.

Calls His First Game Evans said he was behind the plate in the first game Johnson, who came to big-time from a Kansas farm, ever pitched. Typical of Johnsons easy-going manner, Evans said, was an incident that occurred late in the pitchers record 16-game winning streak. It seemed a correct but unfortunate ruling that involved inches only might break his streak, Evans related, and again I was the nm-pire. Late in the game with a two-run lead, Johnson had runners on second and third with two down. The batter hit a terrific drive down the first base line and the fielder Joe Judge, I believe made a sensational stop.

Base: Missed Johnson covered, apparently had the runner by a step but missed the base by inches. I called the Sears Lehigh Humboldt Leitzbach 6:30 Cyrus vs. Planing Mill; Warrens vs. Curtis. 8:30 Harts vs.

11. (AP). Travis Tidwell, Auburns hardworking freshman, is the ground-gaining king of college football for 1946. Closing with a terrific burst in his last two games, Tidwell outdistanced his closest pursuers and replaced Bob Fenimore of Oklahoma A. who had reigned for two years as the Individual offensive leader of the collegiate gridirons.

Statistics released today by the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau show Tidwell not only topped the country in combined yardage gained on the ground and in the air but also was the No. 1 passer on the basis of total completions and the seventh best ball carrier. Tidwell, who threw or carried the ball 339 times to be far and away the workhorse of the country, accounted for a total of 1,715 yards in Auburns ten-games. He completed 79 of 158 forward passes for a total of 943 yards and picked up 772 yards on 181 running plays. SEK Sports Dick Godlove, Washburn coach, is suggested by Merle Heryford of the Topeka Capital as a worthy nominee as football coach at Kansas State.

Fort Scott has ten basketball teams moving into inter-city competition this winter, and Dave Dennis, of the famous Dennis case of the fall K-O-M play-off series, is coach of one of them, the Louderback Cardinals. Fort Scott schools are offering Saturday morning basketball instruction to grade school boys. Eureka high treated all Tri-Valley league football teams alike in its undefeated season. Wildcats scored at least three touchdowns on all league oppenents, and no more than five on any one foe. Iola high football letters will not be issued 'until the end of the present semester of school when the Mustangs have satisfactorily absorbed their book work.

(AP). Southern association President Billy Evans, who in his 22 years as an American league umpire called many a game pitched by Walter Johnson, said today he never once heard The Big Train protest a decision. I have bepn behind the plate in many games in which he set marks the present-day twirlers are still shooting at, Evans said. Yet in the hundreds of games pitched by Johnson never once did he offer a single objection on my calling of balls and strikes.

Soft Coal Output To Normal By Today Washington, Dec. 11. (AP) The Solid Fuels Administration estimated today that the nations soft coal mines will reach normal production and employment levels during the day. Government observers said production well might exceed normal, as miners attempt to make up lost wages, except for a shortage of coal cars which probably will develop by the end of the week. This shortage, which has been' limiting output for sometime, was overcome during the recent shutdown by transfer of empty cars to areas of greatest need.

Thus the West Virginia mines, first to reach normal production yesterday, have sufficient cars now but are expected to feel the shipping shortage by next Monday Work. Overtime To Meet Humboldt At Riverside Park Friday; Hold Night Practice Session The Mustangs of Iola high school held their first extra practice session last night in ah attempt to speed their reconversion from football to basketball training, in preparation for the first game of the year Friday against an invading pack of Humboldt Cubs. With no pre-season ideas as tc the strength or style of the Tri-Valley league opponent, Coach Lee Burger has no secret weapons ir the Mustang squad. The drills Ins night indicated that Bob Leavitt, Archie Specht, Albert Folkner, Hart and Herb Trout will line ur for the opening whistle Friday night. Craven Slfows Promise In reserve strength, Wayne Craven has shown up well as have Ma: Schell, Clyde Thompson, and -Free Kipp.

Basketball fans who expected added power in the person of Jof Stroup, newcomer to the Iola schoo who saw first-string football actior near the end of the season, will br disappointed by the fact that Strour is not a basketball candidate. Living out of town, he found the game toe time-consuming to permit him tc bid for action with the Mustangs. A slight switching of positions may be in the books at center and forward this year between Leavitt and Trout. Trout, a sophomore, has hbstled his way onto the squad and appears to be a likely starter at the center post. The height still belongs to Leavitt, however, and it is likely that he will do the center Jumping chores, then take his place as a forward when the team goes down the court.

Remaining squad members callec for last nights drills were Harolc Fisher and Paul Bain. Number 1 (Continued From Page One) his prime called the hospital to as? how he was doing. The Greatest Clark Griffith, 76-year-old president of the Senators, summed i up for the lanky Johnsons admirers today when he said: He was the greatest pitcher all time.

Still Holds Records At one time or another he held Just about all the modem pitching records and some still stand. During more than two decades in Senators livery, he struck out 3,497 batters, pitched 803 games, chalked up 113 shutouts, turned in one stretch of 56 scoreless innings, fanned six hitters in a row, struck out more than 200 men in seven consecutive seasons. On July 1, 1920, he pitched a nohitter against Boston The best season he ever had was 1913 when he won 36 while losing only seven and compiled the amazing earned run average of 1.14 per game.

Senators Mired But his ball club usually was deep in the second division. Not until 1924 did Johnson appear in his first world series. The Senators won the league title again in 1925. Johnsons fast ball had lost some of its hop but he won three, and lost three in those two series. After losing his two starts in 1924 he went back to the mound in a relief role In.

the seventh and deciding game. He won he game and with it Washingtons only championship. Johnson left the Senators after the 1927 season to pilot Newark in the International league. He returned to the capital as manager of the Senators in 1929-1932 and ended his baseball days as manager of the Cleveland Indians in 1933-1935. He farmed near Germantown, M4-.
