Miller" is paying him on the chance
he can come back"
Here's the way Convey" describes
his present condition and prospects
for becoming a winning pitcher.
Three years ago." he said, after
warming up to the situation. ST had
an upper and lower tooth taken
out in Cleveland. Instead of being
pulled, though, they were broken
off and they decayed. For three
years, up to this spring, the doctor
says, poison has been draining into
my system and attacking the weak
est point of my body, my right arm.
When things got so bad this
spring ] decided to settle it. l got
so couldn't throw across the
street. Everything was going from
my arm and the muscles were
tightening up like knots. When
Washington cut me loose took my
own money and went to DR.. Wolf
kin in Washington. He took one
look and began to swear.
He dragged away those two
decayed roots and then spent the
afternoon chipping away the
infested parts of the upper, and
lower jaw bone. BY this time the
muscles in my arm were turning
black. When |he got through,
though, I felt change right away,
else imagined it. He then said

sneaked a ball and glove with me.
For the next two weeks,I did moth.

can't explain it. Every once in a
while I'D toss a stone out into the
lake. and it made chills go up and
down my back as threw the stones
out farther each time.
Pretty soon couldn't stand it,
and after two weeks I got out the
ball and glove and started to throw.
Each day the arm got stronger.
Now" he continued. "I can
throw spitters as good as I ever
could. and that's no joke, either
The only bad effect I have now is a
very slight twitch in my elbow
when I throw side-arm, that is,

Did you see Hudlin of Cleveland
get two strikes on batters Wednes
day and then begin to throw bad
balls? Well, that's where kid
pitchers lose out. They don't realize
how much it takes from their arms
You didn't see Shocker or Ruether
waste a single ball in those two
games, because they know that a
wasted ball is all waste.
With two and nothing on a bat
ter, the point is to throw a. good
one in there with plenty on it, and
no batter can hit it square: at the
same time, he knows he's got TIC
hit, because it's coming in there
and he'll be called out. You never
saw Alexander throw a bad first
ball to a batter. His first ball al

with plenty on it. That puts the

Muscle Soreness Only
''Injury" to Arm
of Dempsey

NEW YORK, July 19.-Anx-
iety among Jack Dempsey's
friends, which had been aroused
by a sensational report that he
had injured his left arm, was
allayed by a dispatch from the
ex-champion's training quarters
to the effect that he was suf-
fering from nothing more than
muscle soreness.
Denpsey's new defense, it
was explained, requires both
arms to block punches, and this
led to a slight muscular trouble.
Leo Flynn compelled the former
champion to take a slight rest
to let the soreness wear out.

may still be a physical marvel.
there's no denying the fact that
he is 32-and that means he isn't
what he was in youth, speed and
the agility he knew from 81 to %.
So what he did in the past is no
barometer of what he can do in
this age.
Sharkey, on the other hand,
has hot a very impressive record.
But it must be remembered that
he's only "a and that most of his

Mackenzie at that time was
being watched by golfers from
far and wide. His memorable up
hill battle against George Won
Elm, present amateur champion
and SHOEMAKER from the Pacific
Coast, just two years previous,
was still fresh in the minds of
many. Scores thought the local
youth through added experience
had his chances augmented after
two seasons, but fate dealt him
an unkindly hand. He was de-
feated by STEVENSON in match
play. STEVENSON was eliminated
later and that defeat wiped out
all competition as far as Wash
ingtOn was concerned.
