TODAYS SPQRIORIAL
BY Kirk Miller

When you were a kid, did it
ever happen that you saved up
your pennies for months ahead
so that you might have the
price of circus ticket by the
time it came to town?
And did it ever happen that
on the morning of the circus
arrival you broke down with the
finest case of mumps the doctor
ever diagnosed?
If that has been your expert
ence, you can imagine the
anguish through which Wal ,er
Johnson is passing today, as he
sits in his wheel chair atop the
Emergency Hospital building
where the sun room is located.
For 81 years Walter Johnson
has been dreaming of the day
he might lead his own ball team
onto the field of action, either
as manager or as player
manager.
Today was to have been that
BIG DAY in Walter Johnson's
career, and friends, when we
say career, we should type it
thus-CAREER.
His has been one of baseball's
most golden chapters and his
personal physician, DR.. Harry
M. Kaufman, assured us this
morning that Walter Johnson's
contribution to baseball is by
no means a thing of the past.
The entire chapter is not COM
pleted yet. 1t is still in the
process of being written.
Walter Johnson is making
rapid progress in his recovery.
He is gaining strength hourly.
He is taking on weight daily.
He has been sitting up for three
or four days and today's bright
sunshine brought an order from
his physician to take him up to
the sun roof.
Walter is planning at an early
date to rejoin the Newark
Braves, who open the season
against the Toronto Leafs in
Newark today, with President
John Conway Toole, of the In
ternational League, on hand, to-
gether with other minor league
dignitaries.
Walters doctor has assured
him it won't be long before he
can rejoin his Newark Bears
and live the dream which has
been his for two decades-the
The Washington times., 1928-04-18

vision of helming his own team
in professional ball.
When Walter does 60 hence
from the hospital to take up the
baseball burden he will not be
rejoicing alone. The entire dia-
mond universe will be glad that
Old Barney is up and about
again and everyone hopes it will
be soon, indeed.
Death, coming in any guise,
is always tragic. Such trag-
edies are somehow more EN-
phasized when they occur in the
arena of sports action. Because
the very spirit of sports is OBJ
viously one of fun and pleasure,
the Grim Reaper seems to have
less premise there than in the
workaday business of life.
By such a preamble we are
trying to get around TO the I'M
fortunate passing of one of the
finest little jockeys who ever
graced the American or foreign
turf, Orvila Bourassa, the game
French-Canadian boy who was
killed at Havre de Grace during
yesterdays workouts.
Orvila Bourassa before becom-
ing a jockey was a Montreal
bookkeeper. He received his
early training under the watch
full eye of Uncle Henry Nc
Daniel, the trainer for J. K. L.
Ross. the Canadian turfman,
who also had breeding estab-
lishment at Laurel, Nd, but
was recently sold.
The biggest riding year in
Bourassa's career came in 1927,
when he rode 120 winners. In
that year he captured the Cof-
forth Handicap at Tia Juana.
That was the race in which
Jockey Chick Lang saved the
life of Johnny Callahan when
he grabbed the saddle from
Lang's mount to keep him from
falling. Sir Harry won the race,
with Bourassa up.
In 1926 Bourassa rode the
winner of the Pimlico Futurity,
astride the Foxcatcher Farms
Fair Star. In 1927 he won
$263, O67 in purses and the year
before $161,8O7. In 1926 and
1927 he had one of the largest
followings that any jockey has
ever enjoyed. Bourassa was
married. His present EMPLOYER
was the Seagram Brothers, also
of Canada.
A game guy and credit to
racing is gone!
