Otto's Arm Is an Right.

Otto Young, the German-American twirler
who pitched for Harris last summer, is play
ing the outtield for the Fresno club. Otto's
arm gave out about the middle of the sea-
son and he went to Napa, where he re-
manned until the latter part of last week.
From time to time the German gave his
friends and baseball associates in this city
to understand that he was putting in a most
delightful summer at Napa. First he was
visiting relatives, then he was off on a hunt
ing trip, only to return and go fishing. Next
he was sojonrning at the springs, and so on.
Life was one continual round Of pleasure.
One day, however, a Napa young man
drilted into the OberOn, where the cranks
most do congregate. and one Of them asked
him it he ever saw anything of the German
pitcher.
"Oh, yes. see him every day."
" How is he coming n?"
First rate as far as know" replied the
Napa young man.
- Is his arm in good shspe?"
We'll, guess 50. He shaved me all right
enough"
