Well Earned

Rest from his labors has come to Walter Johnson (TIME, Sept. 22), aging ace of baseball pitchers. Last week, he and a partner acquired the Oakland (Calif.) club of the Pacific Coast League. In the spring Johnson will embark no more on stormy big league seas with the world's champion Washington Senators, but will pitch Oakland's three big opening games and then settle back, in the warm California sunshine, to grow old in profitable leisure.
