A. Dempsey, Football Star,
Who Is TO Leave Barringer

With the close of this semester.
Barringer High School viii lose
probably the greatest football player
ever developed at the local school,
namely. Andrew Dempsey. Although
Dempsey will not graduate for an .
other year, he is now in his last
two weeks at Barringer. Whether or
not he will attend another prep
school to complete his studies or en-
ter business is still to be decided
0y Dempsey.
The Barringer halfback attained
his zenith on the scholastic gridiron
this fall, when he brought the Bar
ringer constituents TO their feet in
almost every game with d sensa-
tional bit OF ground gaining.
Dempsey's kicking last fall was on
a par with that of many a college
star. His punts werc always a power
in defense, while his kicks from
placement were responsible for 4
score in almost every game, and in
some games. all of the scoring. Be
fore 1ast fall, Dempsey played end.
at which position he was chosen for
the all-Statc eleven, in 1912 and 1913.
In view Of his sterling work, his
teammates honored Dempsey with
the captaincy in 1913.
Besides playing football, Dempsey
is considered one OF the best school
boy baseball players hereabouts. He
is captain of the Barrlnger nine this
spring and IS its catcher.

RANKIN JOHNSON OWES
GRATITUDE TO HICK CADY

The Boston American League CLUB
owes a debt of gratitude 10 Forrest l..
Cady, the former Newark catcher.
It has just leaked out that it was
Cady who recommended A. Rankin
johnson to the Red SoX. Johnson, it
wilt be remembered, had trial with
the Newark Tigers back in 1911, and
Cady was a member of the team at
the time. Cady always insisted that
Rankin was one of the coolest heads
he ever worked with as battery
mate, and he predicted frequently
that Johnson would make good.
Rankin, however, got little oppor-
tunity to show his worth that spring
and was farmed out with little cere-
mony on the first trip around the cir
cult. Last year he pitched for SYRIA
cuse in the New York State League.
Cady had been corresponding with
him, and johnson had a fairly good
year. In tWenty-seven games his
opponents managed to hit for an aV-
erage of PAT against him. Cady sug-
gested to Bill Carrigan that he put
in a draft when Bin assumed the
reinS, and as the catcher manager
and his star windpad artist are close
friends, Carrigan wene through with
il. Johnson has proved sensation.
He has twice beaten the great Wal
ter johnson in l to 0 games, and
seems already to have stirred up d
jinx against the Senators. Johnson
is like an iceberg in the box. lie Is
extremely deliberate and tantalizing,
and when with Newark he had a
habit of walking halfway around the
box before pitching a ball. Benny
Meyer, who played right field for the
Tigers that year, used to be on pins
and needles when Johnson was
working because he moved so slowly,
while the peppery Ben was full OF
life and always on the jump.

PUTNAM NINE MAY
REPEAT ONCE MORE
Champions of Jr. o. u. A. NJ.
League Playing Fast Game
Again This Season.

From the pace they have set this
season. it looks as though the Putnam
baseball team will duplicate its vic
tories Of the past two years and
again annex the championship of the
Jr. o. U. \. NJ. League. The Puts
are now tied with l5uck and Custer
for the leadership of the league, each
nine having a clean slate of four
victories. Putnam came out last sea-
son with eighteen straight and in
1912 their record was thirteen in a
row. The boys have piled up some
remarkable scores thus far. winning
out by the totals of IA to g. q to g.
27 to and II to 6. The success of
the nine is directly due to the splen-
did team work of its members. Few
errors have been chaIlled against the
boys for faulty playing.
Putnam will play the Buck and
Custer nine tomorrow afternoon for
the league leadership.

With Senators.

According to Ed Grillo. sporting

Walter Johnson, premier pitcher of

down a five year contract from the
Washington Club and is openly
dickering with the Feds. 1t is claim
ed that johnson has received an offer
of $4,000 for pitching three years in

johnson is worth mine TO any club,
but $4,000 is a pretty <steep price to
