BLOSSOM (A o HIS MOOTH« ENTERS HOSPITAL Famous Pitcher Sulfering From Ravages ol Influenza Washingten, March 31 (®—Far from the picture of phyaical perfec- tion he portrayed for a score of years in the majors Walter Johnson now manager of the Newark Inter. national bascball team has entered Emergency hospital here to recover | from the after effects of an attack | of influenza. Weighing but 165 pounds, 30 or more under his usual playing weight and plainly showing the ravages of the illness that struck him down shortly after the first of the year and from which he had not fully: | recovered when he started training at St. Augustine, the veteran pitcher will be constantly under observation at the intitution during an indefinite rest period. 1t is doubtful whether the former speed king will be able to be pres- | ent to start his first year after re- tirement from the big leagues as manager of a minor league team, when the Bears open the season | April 18 at Newark against the Tor- onto Leafs. In his stead to take the manager- {1al reigns will be George McBride, his assistant and one-time shortatop and captain of the Washington club | which Johnson served so long and faithfully, Brought here last night from Jacksonville where he had been un- dergoing tests in a hospital, Johnson | was moved to an automobile in a | wheel chair and taken to Emergency ‘houpital in company with Dr, Harry { M. Kaufman, the local institution's | chief of staff, and Clark Griffith, ipl‘r‘,sldent of the Washington team.

Lomski soundly thrashed the Day- ton lad in a ten round bout in Madi- son Square Garden last night before a crowd of 13,000 which patd 34 792 to witness the spectacle. Lomski was hard pressed only in the third round, when Sekyra had{ him staggering about the ring. At long range, Sekyra drilled accurate left jabs to head and body and with a crushing left to the face, sent Lomski spinning half way zcross the car the end of the round Lomski complained of a low blow, but the referee refused to recognize the claim of foul. | Lomski kept out of the range fists of Sekyra thereafter and hammered the Dayton battler with- out quarter in close fighting style. | Hard right hand punches in the first | round by Lomski almost dropped | Sekyra.

At the opening of the cighth, the Daytonian flashed some | of the form he had displayed in the third round, but Lomski cut the ral- | ly short by pounding heme terrific | hody blows which kept Sekyra on | the defensive. Lomski then kept up the assault on Bekyra’s ribs and | sides to tho final bell. Lomski | {weighed 170, Sekyra 171 1-2.
