CAN AMERICAN SPARE JOHNSON? B

81 commission in the Quartermaster'
department Of the army in France
FOR the duration Of the war is re-
ceivei with some doubt by those who
are familiar with conditions in the
junior league.
Johnson has been quoted as saying
that his organization was In excel
lent condition and could well afford
10 dispense with his services for an
indefinite period While this may be
a fact il must not be forgotten that
several important questions must be
solved by the American league before
ir begins another championship sea-
son. The most important subject
claiming its consideration IS the
Washington club. What disposition
is 20 be made OF this franchise II is
IeasOnably certain that the club Will
not remain in the capital next season
especially II the war is still on War
time activity in " 7sEington has killed
the game there for the simple rea-
son that the city is so enErOssed IN
the w9r that no one has time TO at
tend the games.
II is very clear that unless the
American league wants TO endure an
other seasons loss by keeping a
club there il must transfer the fran
chlse TO another city, This certain
y mems no small task for a man
even Of 1fr. Johnson's baseball exper-
fence Again, conditions in st. Louis
are far from satisfactory and not
a little thought and work must be
given TO this problem before nest

H~ONEYMOONERS GET STALLED
ON DESERT At COMAS.

Two young couples on an auto
honeymoon from Minnesota to Cali
fornia were stalled out on Rock
Creek about 20 miles northeast of
Battle Mountain for two days, and
just escaped what might have been
a serious plight on the desert, says
an exchange.
They had started on their trip
west we'll prepared with provisions,
materials and equipment, as they
thought. But when they reached
Rock Creek, among other troubles
they found they were completely out
of tires and that the machine was
already on the rims.
Word came to town on Sunday
that there was a party of tourists
held up but in no immediate need.
The informant evidently had not
gained particulars. therefore no aid
