PASSES PHYSICAL TEST
DESPITE STIFF FINGER
Alexander L. Sigrist, War Veteran,
Succeeds After Two
Failures

Veteran of nearly seven years serv-
ice in the United States Army and
Navy, Alexander l.. Sigrist yesterday
succeeded in passing the physical
examination to enter the police or fire
department here. after being turned
down twice. a stiff finger caused his
rejection.
Sicrist saw service on the Mexican
border i'm 1915 and 1916 with the New
York National Guard. and then joined
the Regular Army. While on the Dor
der, the index finger of his left hand
was caught in the breech block of a
field artillery piece and blood poison
ing resulted. He was accepted for the
Navy in July, 1918. and served until
1921.
Last year he applied for admission
to either the police or fire department.
Before the Civil Service examiners he
was rejected. At a second eXamina-
ton last Friday he passed the weight
test, but examiners who noticed his
stiff finger refused to give him a clear
bill of health on that account. He
was sent before the board of police
and fire surgeons. who yesterday de
clared they were willing to accept
him.

AS for a sore arm. we'll have had only one in my entire career. This was several years ago while with the Cubs. I had pitched a tough game in Cincinnati on a hot day and we caught an early train for Pittsburgh. While sleeping knocked the covers off my arm and going through the mountains a stiff breeze blew through the berth. woke up the next morning with kink at tho right elbow. It was very stiff but instead of having it massagei I rubbed some olive oil on 1t for two days. Then I found warm spot at the park and in pitch ing for 15 minutes the sun just burned out the kinks.
