Greenberg is not likely to be

WHAT REPORT SHOWS
Doctor Freeman reports that
Greenberg has "bilateral mes pla-
nus fiat feeD of a marked de-
gree, considerable deformity and
definite weakness"
At the examination il was re-
vealed that Greenberg wears arcn
supporters in dress shoes. Also,
Hank was known to have fiat feet
as a boy in New York's Bronx,
according to a high school teacher,
as reported in a national weekly
recently in an article on the Tiger
star.
The doctors report more specifi-
cally declares that Greenberg on
duty approximately two hours
each day and working on soft
terrain is able to play baseball
with little inconvenience, but he
has fat feet of such degree as
TO constitute a major physical de-
feet.
"HE IS NOT PHYSICALLY
ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE
ARDUOUS DUTIES OF ARMY
LIFE AND WILL NOT BE ABLE
TO EXECUTE MARCHING Or
DERS CARRYING THE REGU-
LATION PACK" the doctor says.
OTHERWISE HE'S FIT
Other than ailing feet, Green
berg is physically fit. Towering
feet inches and weighing about
go pounds, the smuggling outfielder
is the biggest man in the Tiger
squad. Schoolboy Rowe and AL
Benton are as tall but do not
weigh as much as Hank.
Whether or not he plays a full
season il is reported that Green
berg will receive from Walter o..
Briggs, owner of the Tigers. his
full salary, which is believed to BE-
somewhere between $4,000 and
$50,
you'll have TO ask Mr..
Briggs" Greenberg replied
smiling. when asked the amount
of his salary with the Tigers.
From Miami Beach. where he
is quartered in his Winter home.
Mr.. Briggs gave out the following
statement:
THE status OF Hank Green
berg's contractual relations
with the Detroit Baseball Club
are on the same basis as those
given out regarding every bali
player with the Detroit Base

confidential matters between
the player and the club. There
