ought to be reduced considerably. a
general improvement in the entire lett
side OF the clubs defense should be
seen.

snd for weeks he made no effort to put
snv force into a throw. doing nothing
more than lob the ball short distances.
According TO the Goose. his wing had
lost no strength, but using 1t for a
throw caused great pain and he feared
he might injure it permanently.
Tried Various Treatments.
Goslin tried various treatments to
rid the arm of the pain. Baking, mas
sages and the violet ray were employed.
The pain persisted Then the Goose
discovered he had some abcessed teeth.
These were removed. This dental OPP
