Johnson had been pitching to the
batters for about five minutes
when the accident occurred. had
just mentioned that Walter seemed
in. great shape and very fast for
so early in the the season.
Both Harris and Griffith agreed
with me, expressing the belief that
the "Old Master" was in for a big
year.
Habit of Joking
RI ALL players have lot of fun
* kidding each other when
- some player gets in the way
of a line drive, provided, of course,
no serious consequences result.
When Johnson was struck just
above the left ankle by Judges line

the ground in pain, Nick Altrock. AL
Schacht and number Of other
players did London Bridge Is
Falling Down" as Walter rolled
around on the ground.
A general laugh was INDUCED
in by everybody, even Walter
joined in, although it was evident
he was suffering considerable pain.
1t seems that a golf foursome was
on that afternoon between Altrock
and Schacht versus Johnson and
Rice. The two comedians rejoiced
that Walter wouldn't be at his best.
At this stage of the affair Trainer
Mike Martin came on the scene and
took Johnson to the clubhouse for
treatment.
Injury Proved Serious

M makes fuss about anything,

and was rather satisfied in my
own mind that he was rather badly
hurt. I watched the Washington
trainer remove the stocking, reveal
ing a discolored lump, almost the
size of a baseball.
Ice applications quickly removed
the swelling and Trainer Martin
said, unless one of the small bones
was broken, Walter would be up
and doing in not more than three
days.
Despite the swelling and pain he
was suffering, Johnson insisted in
hobbling. around for a day, before
admitting that it might be wise to
make an X-ray picture of the in
Jury.
This showed break of one of the
small bones in the ankle. The leg
is in a cast and it is said Johnson
wont pitch until May 1.
May Spoil Chances
,r--f TRUST the injury isn't as
serious as reported. How
ever, If it really is. I doubt
IL Johnson is pitching by June 1.
Pitching is the biggest problem
that confronts Manager Harris, and
ae Johnson injury complexities it all
tie more.
IN doping his chances to win
the American League pennant this
ear, Harris banked strongly ON
lie chances of Walter johnson
having a big year. He looked for

games.
With johnson on the shelf for any
srcat length of time, the Washing
On club would be dealt a severe
.ow. Most of the pitching would
ave to come from the younger
:ien1bers of the staff, which is ask
ng too much.
The accident to Johnson, who
seemed to be in for a big year, is
just an indication of what a pre-
carious business baseball is, from
the standpoint Of the club owner
and manager as well as the player.

AVERAGE AMERICAN BOY
 GROWING IN STATURE
Today Ic is Three and One Tent, Inches Taller Than Standard
 of 30 Years Ago

Chicago, March 19 LPn-The aver age American boy today is three and one-tenth inches taller than he was 90 years ago, but for no particular reason, so far as pr. Horace Gray of Chicago can find out.
 pr, Gray has written in the cur rent journal of the American Modi- cal association the conclusions of an investigation conducted for the h. stitutc of Juvenile Research. He measured several thousand school boys and compared the heights with similar figures gathered in the public schools half a century ago.
 Among probable causes for the in- creased stature. Dr. Gray suggested increased knowledge of vitamins and scientific strides in the control ot various infantile diseases that re- tard growth. More comfortable economic conditions enjoyed in the present age. he said, also probably had an important effect.
 Dr. Gray's investigation showed the average six year old boy today is about 4 inches tail. as compared with 43.6 inches fifty years ago. The average IS year old boy is about 70 inches tall. which is three inches better than the half century ago average.

CANADIAN TREATY ON
 TRADE LOOKS DUBIOUS
President May Not Have Power to Grant Re-
 ciprocal Terms

Washing on. March l9 pPy-The announcement of Premier MaCken- zie King in the Canadian parliament that Canada was ready to arrange q reciprocal treaty with the United States 10 cover the exchange of coast products and fish created lively in - terost today in Washington. but comment pending more complete cX- position Of the premicrs views. IL was held in some quarters that un- der the tariff law the president could not lower duties on coast products and fish merely for purposes Of reciprocal trade agreements.
 Under the flexible provisions of tariff act, it was held. he is limited to changes only to cqualize differ cnccs in cost of production in this and competing countries.
 Those who held this view said the only manner in which the duties could be changed would be through congressional action. The rcpicrocity agreement ratified by congress ill 1911 but rejected by Canada still re- mains on the statute books of the United States. but undoubtedly Pre- micr Mackenzie Kings suggestion would cover other ground. His sug- gestions were taken as an indication of the extension of questions pend ing for the past two years relative to trade agreement on imports of fish.
 Tariff commission records here show that in 1911 il was decided that q reciprocity arrangement be- tween the United Statos and Canada should be framed and that it's pro- vision should be made effective by concurrent legislation rather than by treaty. Although the legislation was passed by the United States con- greSs, in Canada it became the sub ject of extended parliamentary de- bate and widespread and vigorous public discussion. The conservatives made the issue the basis Of a deter mined fight and finally the liberal government appealed 10 the country.

 Notwithstanding the long period of silence, aviation experts here, in cludng Hector Perotti. representa- tive Of the factory in Italy where the santa Maria was built, said they had TO misslyings as 10 the safety Of the craft and its crew.
 The possibility of not hearing from the t'iors for some time had been forecast before De Pinedo started the flight because of lack of communication. When he pcue- tratvd the yunEIos the route 10 his destination would take him over the "Riyor Of Doubt" discovered by former President Roosevelt. and across great swamps covered with dense vegatation and rocking with mud deep enough to swallow the plane if it fell.
 'No arrangements whatever were made by the Brazilian government for the rescue of De Pinedo m case of accident" said Perotti, and it is hoped no emergency Of this kind will occur, In any case the Santa Maria has on board the necessary things for the use Of its crew to make their way to civilization"
 Perotti added that he believed it out of the question that the plane should have to make a forced land ing in view of tho excellent condi- ton of the two motors with which the Santa Maria is equipped.
