TEXAS UNIVERSITY HAS
ONE-ARMED BALL PLAYER

Texas university has a baseball
player to whom a sensational one
handed CATCH is a matter of daily
occurrence, says a Columbia, Mo, dis
patch to the Kansas City Times. To
go further STILL he has never been
known to use two hands in catching
fly ball and he works in the out
field, too.
The reason is that he is q one-arm-
ed player, and he's the star of the
club, at that. His name is Dick
Hooper and he always plays center
field for his alma mater.
The Texas u has been touring Mis-
souri, this week. Hooper. who handles
himself surprisingly we'll in the gar
den is a wonder. He does not get
away with the real sensational runs
or leaps into the air. but he does get
away with remarkable pretty fielding
work, as fly is always certain when
ne can get under it.
Hooper is a fair batter also. 1t is
almost a shame, according to the view
of the average fan, that the pitcher
does not let up on this one-armed man.
But the pitchers have to watch Dick
closely He gets hits Unexpectedly.
and is known to do the least expected
thing. This week he got two hits at
Fulton, in the game with William
Jewell. He was unable to solve the
Angeurer curves at Missouri. The
next day he struck out once but got
hit. His batting average in the Mis-
souri, games was 2S3. He is not
home run hitter, but he is fairly re-
liable and can make good use of bunt-
ing in sacrificing.
