C. crack, will be the { greatest swimmer in the world. The | performance of Cann in winning the 100-yard national junior swimming championship recently stamps him one of the most remarkable young swimmers of the day. Teddy is a schoolboy not quite eighteen years old, and he had been trained for the 1 500 yard title race, yet he covered the century in 55 4-5 seconds, or { within one and four-fifth seconds of the world’'s indoor record, set in the | same pool. At his present rate of im- provement it will not take long for the lad to be bidding for international laurels. Credit for the amazing de- velopment of this new prodigy must be granted to Matthew Mann, the | former Boston instructor, who is now coaching the Mercury Foot squad. He predicted sensational speed for Cann the first time he saw him in action, and he worked hard and ably to bet- ter his form. In a couple of months he has succeeded in making him one of America’s foremost swimmers. { first | Three hits | Washington put over | punch Baseball News In a Nutshell AMERICAN LEAGUE.

INDIANS WANT JOENSON Pres. Dunn Says Prohibition Price Will Not Be Offered For ‘“Cannon- ball” Hurler. Cleveland, Ohio, May 23—The ru- mor was in circulation vesterday and was not denied by President James C. Dunn that the Cleveland Ameri- can league club is in the market for Walter Johnson, pitcher for the Washington club. “Of course we would buy John- sen,” said Dunn. “However, we wouldn't go stark, raving mad in the price we would pay. We are will- big money, but the price must s advanced by baseball | men here as to conditions that would make Washington willing to consider an offer for Johnson include the fact that Washington fans do not patronize the club in as large num- bers as in many other big league towns, that Johnson is drawing a very “war-time” salary, that the pitcher is at an age when he may de- | teriorate and could not he marketed as profiably later as now. With the Tris Speaker deal fresh in their mind the fans here are agog with excitement over the even of Johnson being “Nothing to Tt"—Griffith.

The Early Part Of It Cleveland so far has taken the jump for these reasons—her club has tried harder and hustled harder than other club we have seen. And che has gotten the steadiest pitching | the wond- erful outfield range of Tris Speaker. Cleveland has a first class pitching staff in Morton, Bagby <Coumbe, Coveleskie and Klepfer. This staff is good enough, without further injuries, to win a pennant. Now, if the In- dians can continue hustling in the breaks that may come later on they will have about as clean a shot at the top as any other con- tender. For the American League race this season is going to be an open proposition. The three sup- posedly stronger teams, Tigers, White Sox and Red Sox, are evidently not as all prevailing and as powerful as they ance looked to be. They will be good clubs later on, but not good cnough to overshadow the others. In n apen race of this sort where there are many contenders, the club that gets the big jump has a greater ad- | vantage than usual.

Since that time the cups have been offered by alumni slightly differing from the original sroup, but never by the unive ies or twa track athletic associations.
