Johnston Should Star for Seattle---Evans BY BILLY EVANS (Famous American League Umpire) “Doc” Johnston, who will play first base for Seattle the coming season, {a certain to prove one of the most valuable players in the Pacific Coast Teague. Johnston ts a valuable asset to any ball club for many reasona, Piret—Johnmon has the = spirit. “Doe” has beem the life ef every ball elud on which he has played. In victory or defeat “Doc” is always chattering. His monologue fs either humorous the occasion. Tt means a great deal to have a Player who is always on the job, of- fering a bit of encouragement to this} or that ‘player, advising the pitcher as to the batter's weakness or “joah- ing” the opposition. Johnston is a “pepperpot.” For Years Jimmy Austin, after he had outlived bis usefuIness as a regular, haa been garried by the Browns, stmply because the word de- feat \s unknown to him and he con- stantly flaunts that fact in the face! of the opposition. Johnston fs such a player. Second—Johnston, despite the fact that he Is no longer able to keep up with the wear and tear of the major league strain, should go big for Se- attle. “Doc” still has much good baseball left in his system. Third — Johnston has brains. He does more around first base than merely catch thrown balls, | more at the plate than faking three SEMI-SOFT COLLARS Will not wilt, crease, cur! or fray.
