Pitching arms are as fragile as Dres-
den china. More than one young fling
er nearing the crest of his career has
had to pop out of the pastiming be-
cause he was unfortunate enough to
derange his hurting apparatus.
A fresh case bringing this thought
to mind has been the experience of
Ferd Schupp, the brilliant New York
southsider, who in 1917 pitched the
Giants to pennant by winning "a
games out Of % starts and followed
this feat by banking the White Sox
8 to 0 in the fourth game of the
worlds series that fall.
Break Down Of Schupp.
When the season Of 1919 opened Nc
Eraw thought he had one of the best
pitchers In the country, but something
happened to Schupp's arm and the big
winner Of 1917 could only pitch 33 in
nings in the whole season of 1918 and
was officially charged with one defeat
and not credited with any wins.
It was thought that a long rest
would restore the strength to
Schupp's arm, but on the training trip
It was soon evident that the trouble
had not been removed, and while Nc
Graw held on to the lefthander he
finally traded him to st. Louis. This
is rough on Schupp, who now IS just
twenty-seven years old, and had a big
future and fat pay envelope ahead
of him.
Case Of Chalmers.
There never was more pathetic
case Of a pitching career ruined by
an injured arm than that of George
Chalmers, the former Phil. Chal-
mers came to the Pills In the
fall of 1910 and his debut was to blank
the Giants. In 1911 he showed prom
Use Of developing into star. But
something happened in the fall Of
1911.
After the close Of the season
Chalmers went on a playing jaunt to
Cuba with a number of other Pills.

the deck of the steamship Chalmers

before May l, 1921. She
must also issue Immediately to
the allied and associated govern

The interest on the bonds un-
til 1926 will be either two or

date will be five per cent, ac-
cording to the present plan. The
bonds will be payable in install

they shall not be marketed in
quantities sufficient to break
