Russell Conwell "Jing" Johnson (October 9, 1894 – December 6, 1950) was a pitcher during five seasons of American Major League Baseball.

A graduate of Ursinus College, he went on to study wireless telegraphy at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in 1918 before enlisting in the United States Navy during World War I.

According to the Pottstown Mercury newspaper, "Johnson's body was taken to the Charles J. Franks funeral home, 21 Main street, Trappe."

Reportely "heard for more than half a mile," the collision was so hard that it forced "the front end of the ex-athlete's 1941 sedan ... almost back to the windshield" as it ejected Johnson from his vehicle.

[26] A fifty-year-old resident of Collegeville at the time of his death, Johnson had been employed as a manager of the McCarraher Brothers store in Pottstown.
