Miller huggins thinks well of Henry Johnson, former A. A. twirler with Saints and Brewers, and the Yankee pilot figures the fast ball right-hander will develop into one of the game’s best throwers. Young Henry won fourteen

games and lost nine for the Yankees the past season and (there’s no chance prying him loose from the champions’ roster. H e’s sturdy and can stand up under much work, and his speed has caused more than one batter to feel shaky at the plate. In

fact, when Johnson was in the A. A he was feared more than any other hurler, for his “swift” was a cannonball. And he also puts plenty of fire on his curve.

New York kept strings on Henry and permitted him ample time to become Reasoned before establishing him as a regular in the big show. tt tt tt The Goose hangs high again as the 1928 American League batting crown goes to the well-known Goslin of the Washington Senators.

tenth, Loughran tried hard to land a knockout but always seemed a little short. Although the LoughranPeterson fi[;ht was billed as the feature, Armando Santiago’s knockout of Joey Sangor in the second round, drew the greatest amount of applause. Santiago, a Cuban, and Sangor, Milwaukee, started out by standing toe to toe and slugging it out. Sangor had gone into the ring a 3 to 1 favorite and apparently underestimated the ability of the Cuban. Santiago got in a vicious right cross and Sangor went down. As Sangor arose the Cuban rushed in with a hard right cross to the jaw. Sangor went to the canvas, face downward. He was counted out.

Goes Back to Majors

The champion Indians disposed of their champion third sacker, Fred Haney, in- a straight sale Monday night to the St. Louis Cardinals. Amount of money involved was not disclosed. Haney batted .334 and led the A. A. in stolen bases the past season and was rated the king of the hot corner guardians in the Hickey loop after Joe Stripp was taken from Columbus by the Cincy Reds. Haney pilfered forty-three times during the 1928 campaign and his all-around work played an important part in bringing the pennant to Indianapolis. Owner Perry promised Haney to send him to the majors if a good deal was offered and when the Cardinals came through their bid was accepted. Haney lives in California and he made known a desire to play in the coast league if he was not sent back for another trial in one of the big leagues.
