New Arm to Lift Walter Johnson in Banner Baseball Year
Walter Johnson, aging Washington ace, may return to form this season says trainer Mike Martin. Ligament injuries last year cut his stride and hurt his control but therapy restored the arm. Manager Clark Griffith and George McBride expect Johnson to pitch his regular turn with renewed wins potential. Johnson, 34, has pitched since 1907 and his peak came in 1913 with 36 wins despite a no run game last year.
