Because of his unusual number of

this throws big drop curve patterned

Basketball and football are positive
ly under the ban for the professional
ball players. There Is too much dan

especially basketball as played by some
of the semipro teams In the East.
Ball players themselves have come
to realize that they owe 1t to them
selves to sidestep all dangerous sports
during the Off season. There are few
who are willing to take such chances
these days, for competition Is always
keen, and unless u player reports In
