KEWANEE RECRUIT
{ BACK FROM PLOWS'
s TRAINING GROUND

kewanee, April 4.-Johnnie kwe-
tinski, the big Polish youngster
who. made such favorable impress
sion with Manager Earl Mack S
Piow Boys at the training camp in
Morgantown, n. c., is now resting
in self-contentment in the home
port and telling the natives what
it was all about. The big fellow
emphatically denies reports to the
effect that he jumped the training
camp because the feed bag" was
not up to his expectations and 9TH
er stories equally as ridiculous.
He says his wife was i'll and that
he was needed at home at once. He
regrets exceedingly that he was
obliged to leave the training. as he
was finely impressed with the treat
ment accorded him and hoped to
land a berth on the club. He is
still hopeful that he may be able to
return to the team when it gets
back in this territory at the open
ing of the season. He is a mighty
sweet outfielder and has a lot of
force behind his war club. 1t is
understood that Manager Mack
thought lot of the big boy.

Chicago's aftermath of the Schae-
fer-Hoppe billiard match has it that
Willie Hoppe has a muscular trou-
BILE in his punching arm that seri-
ously affected his game in the re-
cent match. Well, Hoppe is young
vet and a distinguished trainer of
athletes tells the writer that the
definite manipulations of skilled
osteopath, or of someone such as
Bonesetter Reese, would have salu-
tary effect on the nerves in Willie's
shoulder. For, says this trainer,
