to the contrary and he was brought
off to the city for treatment.
Dunn went after a pop up" fly
to the infield. He was playing far
into the grass and came up fast. The
ball was just out of ordinary reach,
but the plucky little infielder jumped
out. extending HIS hands for the fast
failing ball. He clutched the leather
sphere tightly, struck the ground on
his right shoulder, rolled over a time
or two and arose holding the ball. He
could not work his shoulders right,
and comrades ran to him offering as
sistance. Heewas taken to the grand
stand but no physician was present
Near the park doctor was found at
his residence and temporarily dressed
the injury. Later Dunn was taken
to Hotel Belvedere and permanent
dressing placed on the shoulders. He
was taken home this morning at
