Grove has been nursing a sore
arm for several weeks and the
appearance here Of the three
BoStonians led observers to believe
the Red Sox craved information

thought the Sox were trying to
cancel the deal, but Collins de-
MED this story.
"The Athletics sold us Grove
last fall and he did not have q
sore arm then. So, even If we
wanted to cancel the deal, we
could not do so.
COME TO SEE TRAINER
"But that is not the reason
we are in Fort Myers. We
brought Nose over here to see
Doc Ebling. We thought If Doc
Ebling could assure him there
is nothing wrong with his arm
Grove would feel better.
PERSONALLY / believe Groves
sore arm is just a mental con-
dition. He believes it is sore
and since he never had a sore
whip before, he is worried. We
are keeping Grove. We would
be the last to complain, had
anything been wrong"
Called Mental Condition
Doc Ebling, trainer of the
Athletics, said there was nothing
seriously wrong with Groves
arm, adding that Lefty needed
hard work to get the whip in
shape. He advised throwing the
ball with more speed, regardless
of the pain, claiming Nose would
lose the soreness.
Grove said lack Of warm
weather caused his sore arm, but
expected it to be all right. Still
he inquired Of Mickey Cochrane
