Johnson's Accident

The injury to Johnson was probably
the worst thing that could have
happened to the Washington club.
While the winning of 20 ball games
would be lot for Johnson this
year, his presence Oh the club,
travelling at top speed, has a wide
spread Influence. a
A finger broken shortly afterwards
has kept Manager Harris out of
play. The star outfielders, iris
Speaker and Sam Rice, have suffered
leg injuries. Shortstop Myer has
also allied considerably during the
training season. In addition, there
have been many other injuries of a
more or less minor nature.
Before the season started, the
Washington club suffered almost a
seasons quota of injuries. Certainly
nothing will serve to test the mettle
of the club more than the tough luck
rum into during the training period.
The courage of Manager Harris
under fire is too well known to
need comment. He can be de-
pended upon to fight his hardest
with his back to the wall

it's leader SO don't entirely count

Although Saunders Is due to jump

probably will not be assigned to guard
Chadwick after the ball is tossed at

opposite the Hoosier big boy on the

Who will try to hold down the
fashy Benny Borgmann, Fort
Wayne's chief candidate for scoring
honors this year, is a problem to

Washington's preparatory work for
the attack of Fort Wayne. The

The release Of Passon from the
local team came after it was fairly
determined that his leg injury would

that time has been unable to show
