Holds
Club S
Hopes
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, June 90. CUP)-
Manager Ossie Bluege rates Out
1ielder Bob johnson the key per-
former in the Senator'S challenge
for the American League pennant.
Discussing his Washington squad
after yesterdays victory over the
Yanks, Ossie said. Everyone on
the club is playing good ball, but
the standout is Bob johnson
"BobS batting average is not SEN
sational; l believe he's hitting in
the .260's. But his hitting has been
timely; he had been driving in
runs. And he's been playing excel
lently in the field. But even more
important is the inspiration which
his hustle and determination has
given the other players"
LEAVES MACK
johnson, the 34-year-old Cherokee
Indian slugger whose triple won
yesterdays game after Mickey Ver-
non had set the stage, came to the
Senators on March 81 in a deal with
the Athletics. Bob had played with
Connie Mack's Philadelphia outfit
for 10 years. And he probably still
would be with the AS were it not
for a dispute with ancient Connie
over an expected bonus as result
OF attendance at the AS home
games last season. johnson refus-
ed to sign his contract for 1943 be-
cause he didn't receive the bonus,
accordingly, he was traded to Wash
ington for Infielders Roberto Es-
tralelal and Jimmy Pofahl. Pofahl
refused to report to the AS, having
taken defense job, and Washing
ton gave Mack some cash instead
Everyone wondered at the time
how johnson would react to his
first change of uniform since COM
ing to the majors in 1888. Appar-
emily his reaction has been excel
lent. He has driven in 35 runs so
far, to rank fourth in the majors
in that department. Last season
he drove in 80 with the Athletics,
his smallest number during the dec
ade with the Mackman He account
ed for 12l in 1896.
BLUEGE PLEASED
Manager Bluege is delighted with
the Cherokees achievements as
we'll as the play of his other per-
formanerS. Ossie said "our boys
have been hustling and we've been
getting good breaks. I believe we've
made more errors than any club in
the league, but most of those er-
rors were made when they didn't
hurt us. W've been getting only
fair hitting, but Our hits were time
ly-resulting in runs. And our
pitching has been much better than
expected. Ca1rasquel, Candini
Leonard and Wynn have come
through fine. Pyle was going good
until couple of weeks ago. Also
Mertz and Haefner have helped
You might even say that pitching
has been Our strong point"
Milo Candini, a cast-off of the
Yankee farm system, now leads
the league with six stranght mound
victories. He has suffered no re-
currence of arm trouble this sea-
son because, according to Bluege,
he has been watched carefully by
Trainer Mike Martin and because
Ossie "nursed him along" refusing
to let him pitch in cold weather
and moving him into a starters
berth gradually.
