CHICAGO, March 23 Carl Johnson,
sensational former Spokane high school
athlete, now the "ace" of the University
of Michigan track squad, added more
laurels to his brilliant career In
athletics by scor'ng 15 of his team's
points in the western conference Indoor
meet yesterday. Michigan winning the
meet with 364 points. The University
of Chicago placed second, scoring 34 c.
Johnson was the Individual star of
the meet and, besides tleing the world's
record mark in the 50-yard dash with
0:05 2-5, he won the 60-yard hurdle
race in 0:0S and took first honors in
the running high jump with a leap of
S feet 11 inches.
The meet was a hotly-waged fight
throughout between the University of
Michigan and the University of Chicago.
Both teams were in the 'lead at several
stages of the game, and when it came
to the relay, the final event of the meet,
Michigan was leading by four no.nts.
The Chicago runners captured first
place in the relay event, but Michigan
came in second, giving them the meet.
O TRA1EGY in baseball from the snec-
O tator's standpoint largely depends
on who pulls it. If the manager of the
home team refuses to let the star hit
ter of the opposition have a chance to
come through in the pinch, by order
ing his pitcher to pass him, It is re
garded as good baseball.
The intentional pass Is classed as
one of the features of so-called inside
baseball. Despite its classification.
many fans would welcome its elimina
tion, if possible. While many sugges
tions have been offered to bring such
a happening, the rule makers have
passed them all up. It is generally re
garded as a wise move, if the passing
of some star intentionally, puts the
burden up to a following hitter who
fails. If the supposedly weaker hitter
comes through, then tha second guess
ers always have a chance to insist that
it. would, have been wisdom to have al
lowed the star to hit. I believe no real
sportsman looks on the intentional pass
with much favor. Such a person goes
out to see the star perform, particular
ly in the pinch, and if the stars are
deprived of such a right by resorting
to the intentional pass at a critical
stage of the game, then the spectator
is not getting a run for his money.
Several years ago In a game at
Cleveland I saw Fielder Jones, then
managing the St. Louis club, order Bob
Groom to pass Tris Speaker on three
occasions in a nine-inning game. Each
time a base hit meant the ball game.
It was shortly after Speaker bad joined
the Cleveland team and many people
were at the game to see Speaker in ac
tion, particularly batting. About all he
did in the hitting line was grab his
bat, walk to the home plate and stand
around while Groom threw four balls
so wide that there was no chance for
Speaker to cut at any of them. Per
haps Speaker would have failed to de
liver, but that is what the fans paid
their good money for, to see him come
through or "flivver." Perhaps the ac
tion of Jones would have been forgiven
had the men who followed Speaker in
the lineup hit safely, but they dldn t,
and Cleveland was trimmed for the lack
of a timely base hit.
I believe the most unusual case of
the intentional pass ever staged came
up in a game at Comiskey park in 1917.
The Athletics were the opposing- team
and, although Mack's aggregation fin
ished last that year, the opposition al
ways realized it was in a ball game.
For years the Philadelphia club has
always been a jinx for the White Sox.
The way the strategy of Mack worked
out in the game I have in mind
strengthened such a belief on the part
of the Sox. In this game, which went
12 innings. Mack resorted to every
scheme to halt the Sox, at a time when
every game meant a great deal to Chi
cago in tts drive for the pennant. In
the ninth the Sox threatened to win
the game. Leibold reached first and was
sacrificed to second by' McMullin. Col
lins flied out. With Jackson and Felsch
coming up, Mack ordered Joe Bush to
pass both, filling the bases. It was up
to Chic Gandil, a dangerous hitter, but
his best effort was a foul fly to Mc-
Innis at first. In the 11th Inning the
setting was duplicated. Leibold
reached first and McMullin sacrificed
him to second. Collins flied out. Once
more Mack ordered Bush to pass Jack
son and Felsch, filling the bases. And
Gandil again flied .out on a foul toMc
Innis, who caught the ball at almost
the same spot.
BOATEVG BECOMES POPULAR

One o the truest signs of spring; was
noticeable yesterday when from early
morning to late last night the Willam

vehicle. The river proved an attrac

doors for the first time this year, and
with yesterday's weather on tap fre
quently, boating will soon become
popular.
As soon as the water itself becomes
warmer the ole' swimmin" holes will
