Marqmirdt in Chicago News. Johnson, whom Connie Mack signed Just In-fore the last series between the Athletics anil the Itniwns, returned to Chicago ami spend the winter with his parents. The Quaker city pilot was very nmch satisfied with the young ster's showing in ihe St. Louis frames, ii i id has ordered him to appear at the Athletics training cump nest spring at .Jacksonville, Flit. Rise in Athletic World. Johnson's rise in the athletic world has been almost meteoric as one of lus homo runs or triples that within the short space of one year pave him the reputation of being one of the hardest hitting outfielders on the local semi pro circuit. Although the national pi st i me has been his favorite sport ever since he was big enough to wield n baseball, fans first became aware of his ability in 1912. As captain of the Doremus church baseball squad that year he led his team through the season without n de feat and succeeded in taking the senior championship of the Cook Coun ty Sunday School association. The fol lowing two seasons he played with Bill Johnson. i nrious amateur prairie teams fcbuut j Chicago. Last season Pilot Billj i Niesen of the Garden Citys picked ! him up. Johnson became-the mainstay of Xiesen's batting order. Baseball however was not the OLdy I s;ort in which Johusou excelled, i Basketball took his eye when he wa i t arely more than 100 pounds in weight. I lie became an ardent devotee of the j floor game in l'JW as a member of the I Armour Square Midgets the team that ! won the city cha.uplouship of it cla ! that year. Was Star in Basketball. An a forward on the old Cornell be , Marred in the games that netted them ' the Central A. A. U. and National A. A. L. senior championships. When i basketball was introduced at the llli ! nois Athletic club two years ago. Jonn : son lecaiue a member of the squad. The tri-color team won the C entral A. A. U. title and made the trip to the roast for the national tourney. The L A- C. team won the central states' title a second time last spring, but was nosed out for the national championship by one point at the hands of University of Utah player. If he falls 16 make g'd with Connie Mack it :il be the biggest surprise In years for loal sport enthusiast. Philadelphia's Tennia Champion. Hiiladelphla has 8 monopoly of ten nis champion '-hips. In addition to B. Norris Williams, rational champion, the world's chumplon court tennis dayer is Jay Gould, a metnler of the Philadelphia Ilaequet club, vhile the world's racquet title is hHd by a pro fessional of the satue club. Jack Sou tar. To Lift Piaytr Limit. It seems to be a very popular idea In the National league that the player limit should be lifted so that ihe old league teams can be put on the saro basis, la tliat respect, with the Auieri ! ran. i t h v ! V- ' - t, I ' I 4 ' : if S, ! University Dredger to Operate A dredging plant of its own is the central ligure In a plan now under consideration by the hoard of regents of the University of Washington. The plan is the outcome of u cam paign for the improvement of the new waterfront, along the shores of Lake Washington adjoining the campus. When the water recedes, alter the government canal between Lakes I'nion and Washington is opened, a vast. oozy, solt mud will separate the present embankment from the new harbor line, and a shallow expanse of water along the shore line will hinder free use of the harbor. The work must be done in sections allowing one fill to dry thoroughly be fore the next layer is added. Tinier this plan only enough mud would be scooped from the outer harbor to fill two or three feet at a time on the drained fiats. This wet layer would then be allowed to dry thor oughly and form a solid floor for the next layer. The work is to ex tend over a period of five years. Such a plant, owned and operated by the university, would cost approx imately $100,000. according to the fig ures of l'rof. C. W. Harris, of the en gineering department. Kx. $3,500 for Prisoners Minnesota will send about f::.rnu as its contribution to the fino.OOrt fund being raised by the students of the United States for the relief of the prisoners in the presion camps of Europe.
