that General Manager Hank Greel
burg requested further examina
ton.
II took some X-ray treatments
in Cleveland" Simpson said, "and
1 took some more after 1 got
back home"'
DR.. Don Kelly, the team physi-
clan, who is here, examined Simp-r
son in Cleveland last fall. He ad-
mits the possibility of the ailment
recurring but he believes that .
Simpson having been given the
proper rest and treatment, is now
fully fit.
"It's not an unusual thing" DR..
Kelly said. "Some athletes have
the same trouble in their elbows,
others in their knees and ankles.
Sometimes it can be cleared up in
a few weeks. Of course, some
times it takes longer"
1t was first believed that Sinp-
son merely suffered a pulled groin
muscle. 1t was discovered months
later that muscles had been torn
loose from the pelvic bone. 1t
began to hurt so badly that he
had to tell Del Baker, the San
Diego manager. After a rest, the
pain started all over again, in
terfering with his running and
sliding, but not bothering him
much at bat.
Later on, it gave me so much
pain that 1 had to take a shot
of novocain before each game"
Simpson said.
In spite of this, Simpson drew
lavish praise along the. West Coast
for his all-around ability. He
weighs ITO pounds = built on a
bony, six-two frame, and lopes
through the outfield in an effort
less manner.
Greenberg decided that Simp-
son would not get the same bally-
hoo that Larry Dolby and Luke
Easter received when they en-
tered the major league. Il won't
want to make it any tougher for
him than it is now," Greenberg
said.
Simpson led the Pacific Coast
League with 156 runs batted in
with nineteen triples and he was
third in home runs with thirty
three. He batted 1923.
