Walter johnson held Chicago to three
hits In ten innings yesterday, then let
down In the eleventh. Roast all you

he was playing IN close and thereby let
in the solitary and fatal tally. That
may give rise to grumbling, but IL will
be undeserved. II such a game when

INJURED MIDSHIPMAN
ON OPERATING TABLE
Earl Wilson Is Expected TO Pull
Through Serious
Ordeal.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Nov. AFTER
consultation this morning, in which
Surgeon Charles Fl Stokes. Of the
general medical staff of the navy,
and Surgeons Anderson. Idens Cotte,
and Woods Of the Naval Hospital here
participated. II was decided 10 operate
today upon Midshipman Earl D. VII
son, Of COVingtOn. KY, q vertebra Of
whose neck was broken during a foot
bali game October 10.
All the surgeons taking part In the
operation are of the naval medical
service, an dit began at 1889 this al
ternoOn. The operation viii be IN
dertaken with the consent of Mid
shipman Wilson and of his father,
". b. Wilson, Of COvingto Ky. It
is hoped to remove the pressure on the
spinal cord caused by the fractured
vertebra Of the neck. It is admitted
that the risk is great not so much
from the operation, but that Wilson
will not be able to stand the effects
of the operation.
However, Wilson's vitality and his
excellent general condition have sur
prised the surgeons, and Il is believed
that he has good chance Of going
through the operation and anesthetic
without too great a risk.
