Gently, has sailed for home Jimmy
Johnston, his manager, announces,
however. that Eddie will return in
few weeks.
George 'Armless" Sutton. the famous
billiardist whose arms have been am
putated at the elbows, declares that
arms are a detriment rs ther than an
asset when 1t comes to playing bill
Eards.
AThe man with arms must control
the muscles of the hand and wrists
says Sutton. "I don't have to. The
average billiardist contends that ac-
curacy depends upon the perfection of
the wrist movement. 1 believe that

Other players have difficulty getting
Tito position for certain shots. One
position is just as easy for me as an
other. With the cue resting on my
shoulder and manipulated by the

President Comiskey of the Chicago
White Sox. plans on spending $4,000
on his spring training trip to Cali
fornia. He will cut down the numbe~
Of exhibition games to be played and
this will add to his expense. 1t will
be the most expensive trip the White

said something like that about a fell
low named Jackson who joined the
Boston Nationals late in the season of
1911 and hit 400. He was regarded as
q sensation But he dropped out Of
