The following article appeared in the
Chicago Times Herald on April 4, con-
cerning Jimmy Barry:
DR.. Bradley, who was to have performed an
operation on Jimmy Barry's left hand, has de-
cided to wait for while to see if he cannot
prevent such action. Some time ago Barry
IN boxing with his sparring partner, broke the
iorehnger of his left hand in cross-countering
The broken finger was set, but in healing
"callus" formed on the bone This grew
larger, and Barry was for a time unable to
train. Finally he saw the doctor, who decided
to break the finger over and reset it, Later he
said that he did not think it would hurt to al
low 1t to rest for while as long as six months,
as he did not think he would be any the. worse
off then than now.
In the meantime Barry will have his hand in
bandage to avoid striking it against any
thing. AS it is now he is constantly moving
the injured member, so that it has no time to
heal. Barry is spending much of his time rid
ing wheel. He is becoming an expert wheel
man and expects to win the great road race
on DECORATION day. Since his hand was hurt
he has been unable to play handball, and he
is glad the season for wheeling IS here at last
