PROMISING COLLEGE
PITCHER MAY LOSE ARM

PROVIDENCE, Dec. 6.-Rube
Cram, one of Browns best pitchers,
is in grave danger Of losing his left
arm as a result of blood poisoning.
Some time ago Cram played in an
interfraternity football game and re-
ceived a cut, as a result of which
blood poisoning set in.
The poisoning seems to be growing
worse and doubt is being expressed
whether the arm can be saved. Cram
was ranked after Councilman and
Warner for the Bruonians last sea
son. He showed great promise OF de-
veloping into a high-class twirler and
much was expected of him next year.

this week.
Yamada used his masse talent.

not miss a single shot of this nature
during the evening. He had no ex-
ceptionally high runs, but played
more consistently than in any of his
former games. He showed improve
