Wheeler (Doc) Johnston, first sacker
for the Barons last season, has been
traded to the Milwaukee club Of the
American association for Pitcher Cyril
Slapnicka and cash consideration,
Manager Carlton Wordsworth announced
yesterday morning. The deal has been
hanging fire for several days and was
completed yesterday.
The trade of Johnston caused some
surprise, inasmuch as he was considered
one of the main cogs of the 1917 machine.
Docs passing practically means that Mo-
ley intends to depend on Ray Bernsen,
youngster drafted from the Fort Worth
club of the Texas league, to fill the po-
sition of initial sacker.
Slapnicka, who the Barons receive in
part payment for Johnson, Is a spitball
pitcher. He was one of the top-notchers
in the American association. The recent

of the locals should be equally as strong
as any outfit in the circuit. Moley. it Is

other pitchers, and expects to have at

Doc Johnston came to the Barons In

fair ball last season.

soldiers from Camp Mcclellan at

ruary is, to battle for the Alabama
boxing championship. Five men. rep
resenting five classes, will attend from
each camp.
Joe Mandot the former lightweight
champion of the world, is the boxing
Instructor at Camp sheridan. Mandot
sends word that he has some excel
lent boxers. and plans to walk off with
the honors. Spike Webb. the famous
Marathon runner. is coaching the
Camp Mcclellan scrappers.
The men will be divided into five
classes, namely: Special weight, 125
pounds and under; lightweight, 1s5
pounds and under; welterweight, Is
pounds and under; middleweight 15S
pounds and under; heavyweight. over

belt last season, will probably find him
self without an opponent for his old job
at second base. Cruthers hit in streaks
last season. finishing with a swatting
average of .249 Cruthers is regarded as
better nsh a ,24s hitter Cy Barger, chief
of the tribe, probably has enough CON
fidence in Cruthers ability to shoulder
the second base burdens to leave good
enough alone as far as the keystone
job is concerned.
battle rolay looms up for the short
stop berth If the two shortfield men now
on the roster report for training season.
Dobard. who has played short for the
last two seasons, will have Lee Hobbs,
drafted from Dayton of the Central
league, as his opponent. Hobbs is re-
garded as a most promising bidder for
the job.
Dobard2s work with the Chicks has
been consistent and he has been Of
much assistance to the team. Last sea-
son lie ranked third among the short
stops in fielding and hit .27s more than
a respectable average for a shortstopper
MANDA CALLED ERRATIC
Carl Manda's work at third base last
season was erratic. lie had good days
and bad days. At times his fielding was
sensational and at other times it was
a mateursh. Angel Aragon, formerly with
the New York Yankees, will be can
didate for Mandas job at third. Aragon
is stated to be a finished fielder, but,
like Manda, is no demon with the will
low.
Pete Allison and Fred Bratchi are the
survivors OF the 1917 suburban Tribes
men Carroll, drafted from Shreveport
and who hit over 800 in the Texas league
last season, is the only other outfieder
now on the Chick roster. However, Sec

Saturday to make up the day lost
following the Fourth.
A party of the Normal school,
girls made an excursion to the lake
on Saturday and report a pleasant
time.
The model school in connection
with the summer school will close
this week end. Miss Sproat, who
has had charge of the primary work,
will spend the remainder of the
summer at her home in Kansas.
She will give part of her time to in
stitute work at Lawrence, Kansas,
where she has a fine position work
ing with professors Of the universi-
ty of Kansas and the Emporia Nor
NAL school. Miss Fleming, who has
had charge of the grammar grades,
will spend her vacation at her home
in Duluth.
The attendance at the Normal
this summer is unusually satisfac-
tory, being the largest enrolment
in the history of the summer school
with one exception. The present
enrolment is 274, which is an in
crease of So over last year and of
about IS over the year before. This
increase is the largest among the
Norm al summer schools, the enroll
ment at several of the schools show
ing falling off. Platteville has
the lowest enrolment among the.
schools, there being only 1913 at that
institution.
