How hard did Walter Johnson throw?

At the Aberdeen Proving Grounds he was measured using the ever-popular speeding motorcycle test, once used in 1914 with Walter Johnson who reached 99.7 mph, and Feller reached 98.6 mph. 

And remember, he was coming in side-arm, and the batters did not have any of the batting helmets and other armor they wear today.
