MAY SAVE SCHUPP'S ARM
Manager McGraw Sends His Star
TWiTlcr to See "BoncSctter" Reese
Who Performs "Operation".

Pittsburgh, May 1.-THE baseball
future of Ferdinand M. Schupp, star
southpaW Of the Giants, is hanging in
| the balance. A matter of ten days
| or so will tell whether this sensational
| twirler developed by John j. McGraw
will ever again be able to dish up
| his battling hooks and shoots to the
batters of the National League.
Ferdie has two things in his favor.
One is his youth and the other is
, the opinion expressed by the famous
bonesetter Reese, who performed an
Operation" on Schupp's bad arm yes
terday morning.
Mr. Reese, who has pulled more
bones" and got away with them than
any other denizen of baseball wilds,
says that with ten days absolute rest
Ferdie can ascend the old mound once
more eQipped with all the power of
arm and skill of brain that have put
him at the top Of the pitching fra
ternity.
The bone pullcr" also told Ferdie
frankly that if the same trouble comes
back his arm will be crippled per
manently and that his baseball days
will be over.
Schupp first complained when the
Giants had their opening workout at
Marlin. He started to warm up,
when, to his amazement, the old
tlinging arm refused to fling itself
about in its usual fashion. Ferdie
thought nothing Of it at the time,
naturally consoling himself with the
idea that q little work would remove
the kinl that was causing all the
i
with the arm in no better condition
than before.
Following the instructions of
physicians and other advisers, Ferdie
rested the wing until the team reached
Boston for the opening season with
the Braves. He then announced to
McGraw that he was sure bis arm
was right. The Giant manager
therefore picked Schupp to pitch the
exhibition game at Newport, a week
ago yesterday. Ferdie answered the
test we'll and everything seemed rosy.
AS a further test before starting
the southpaw in a league game Nc
Graw sent Schupp in to twirl against
the Akron nine in Sundays exhibition
game. The contest went only five
innings. but Ferdie apparently was
suffering pain every time he threw the
ball.
Now. with Youngstown only a few
miles away and the famous "bone-
puller'' living there, it was decided
that Schupp should follow the course
taken by a long line OF predecessors
in similar prediCaments and pay
visit to old DR. Reese.
AS Ferdic describes the Opera
ton" the bonepuller did q bit Of
squeezing of the flesh around the
shoulder, some more squeezing a lit
tie further down the arm and then
made a couple of jabs at the elbow.
Those last jabs made Ferdie howl,
and his arm from the elbow to the
wrist went dead" for a moment.
Presently Reese asked Schupp to
swing his arm, and 10 and behold it
felt just as good as ever.
