Johnson Loses In Fine Battle With Ed Walsh

Teammates miscue and fielding brilliance frame a tense ninth inning play turning on a long grab by Tannehill and a relay to prevent later scoring. Walsh’s arm cold and Johnson's punchouts anchor a classic defensive clash.

Johnson May Beat American League Strikeout Record
In yesterday's pitching duel at the bail yard Ed Walsh, rival of Walter Johnson, notched his second century of strikeouts, while Johnson leads with 231. If no accidents occur and he keeps his pace, a new AL record may follow. Waddell set 301 in 1903. Johnson has 231 in 34 games, with 38 remaining, and could surpass the mark with continued high averages and future appearances.
