...come. Injuries, bad luck, and player trouble struck hard at the band of diamond hopefuls Floyd Stahi had left on Solidiers Field. Bill Tully was slow to recover from a serious appendectomy; Captain Tom Healey has been bothered by a sore arm much of the spring; Charley Brackett went on probation; Torble Macdonald hurt his ankle; and Gene Lovett and Charley Spreyer decided that the team could do without their services the rest of this year...

Sophomore pitching star, Charley Brackett, has been lost to the Stahlmen for the rest of the year, for failing to satisfy his language requirements, it was learned yesterday. Brackett's loss weakens the Crimson hurling corps greatly, and Sophomore Burgy Ayres will probably return to mound duties. Another second year man, Gil Whittemore, will take his place at third base...
