AaiIments of New Type.
Richbourg and Gasnon both were
ailing last season, the former being
compelled to quit in midseason with
fracture of the small bone in the
back of his leg a short distance above
the ankle. while Chick hobbled about
with a bad knee that was incurred
several seasons ago. Both were given
the best of surgical attention and the
hope that they would be restored to
normalcy has not been affected by
their present complaints. for they are
due to something entirely different
from the original injuries.
In the case of Gagnon the leg that
bothered him as a result of having
the tendouS wrenched in foot ball

it is his throwing arm. and 1T was
injured in an odd manner. While at
batting practice Chick whaled away

day to extend II full length, and
walked around with his thumb
crooked in the belt of his trousers in
lieu of wearing it in sling. The in
jury is expected to disappear with a
few days of rest.
Richbourg's leg. properly set at the
time it was cracked, and which he
kept off of until the ends of the bone
were thoroughly knitted, feels as
strong as ever, but the linlpins he
does now is indirectly due to his ac-
cident of last summer. at that. 1t seems

very promising prospect.
Last season was his first in pro-

supposed to be an outfielder. he got
! little chance to work in his chosen
line. When he reported to the Raleigh
club last spring the lack of a third
baseman necesSftated his use at the
far corner, and after he had about
! become settled in that position an
accident to the regular first baseman
led to his being shifted to the initial
station. BY the time he finally was
placed in the garden where he be-
longs, less than a month of the sea-
son remained to be played.
All this shifting about, with strange
duties to master, didn't seem to affect
his hitting. however, for he punished

average not to be sneezed at. no mat
