An accident which may put a
crtinp In John Marshall's pennant-
winning aspirations occurred yes
tczday afternoon at Byrd Park,
when Stuart Sale, the local highs
star shortficlder, was hit on the
end of the finger by thrown ball.
An examination by q physician
disclosed that, while the digit Is
not broken, the injury Is OF such
q nature that he will not be able
TO play for six weeks.
This Is a sad blow to Manager
Walter Anderson and Captain
Claude Woodward, for they realize
that without Sale at short there
will be an important cog missing
from the inner works. The
championship series will start
within the next few days, but 1t
10 hardly probable that Sale will
be able to be seen I'm action dur

Sale will be succeeded at short
