After the Milwaukee affair Johnny
cruisod across the Atlantic, took look
at the British Isles and returned to
this country without raising a militant
nit in any direction. The 5000 nile
voyage seemed to do the little champ a
lot of good and the subsequent training
period in Jersey City has put him in
what some original guy has called the
pink Of condition.
Buff has number Of serious battles
coming his way. one Of them with the
temperamental Joe Lynch, who once
wore the crown that now adorns
Johnny's intellectual dome. The row
with Harry (battling) Leonard is re-
garded by Buff as an operation de-
do all Of this and little bit more.
The fight takes place in the Philadel-
phia Ice Palace, and it might be worth
any fans while to penetrate the slum-
bering solitudes in order to see it. Doc
Bagley. manager of H. Battling Leon
ard, says, in his own frank way that
Leonard carries devastating drive in
both hands, and casual inspection Of
his past performances would seem to
indicate that the Doc is quite correct.

of the Indians, and Lee Fohl, of the
st, Louis Browns both of whom enter
tain high pennant hopes, figure Old
Fox Griffth's club, and not New York,
the one that must be headed in order
to annex the laurel crown.
For the last two or three years those
in control Of Washingtons baseball
destiny have been building wisely.
Clyde Milan will lead onto the field on
opening day we'll balanced team; one
that has few apparent weaknesses Of
fensively or defensively either in the
infield or outheld The addition Of
very greatest of all major league short
stops, should add that necessary bal
ance of poisc and experience to make
tho inner line one of the most formi-
dable in the younger mayor circuit
The club, too, is well fortified behind
the bat.
With Washington, as with both Cleve-
land and st. Louis, the main test is
likely to come in the matter Of pitch
ing worth. The pitching staff is prob
lematic. If the twrlng department is
to measure up to high standards it will
require the development of at least
two or three pitchers who can at pres
ent be figured only as experiments.
Milan has a nucleus of three seasoned
pitchers-thc once mighty Walter John
son, southpaw George Mogridge and
Zachary, another left-hander. All had
good records last year. but these three
cannot hope to win without help.
Erickson, big right-hander who has
been knocking around for some years,
seems too erratic to be counted upon
for more than dozen victories, Phil
lips, who won twenty five and lost only
seven games with New Orleans last
season, has made a most favorable I'M
preston so far. Courtney, another
left thander, who has been with Wash
ington for several seasons, was indis-
posed considerably last season 1t is
possible he may come back, rs pitchers
often do after oEl bad year If so, he
should go far toward solving Milan's
present dilemma.
In Sam Rice Milan has one Of the
most valuable outfelders of the Amer
lean League. Milan himself. though
apparently slipping, must still be
ranked among the topnotchers. Goslin,
recruit from Columbia, of the Sally
League, has been groomed to take
Bling" MilIers place in left field The
Senators consider him the find of a
decade.

year, is playing a good game at short.
