These scores were great upsets in the Coos Bay district as Marsh field had previously lost 40 North Bend 28 to IS.

With all' the other essentials to success In major league baseball in good order, to lose that ability to snap-throw tne bail is proDably the height of misfortune. Last season saw tnree great players sidetracked because of bad arms. And in all three instances the injuries had considerable effect on the pennant cnances ox tneir teammates. Charley Gehringer, tecond baseman of the Detroit Tigers, was forced out of action for two monuu last season oeeause f his ailing wing. And as a re mit the Tigers' infield was shot to pieces, and for the first time in uany years the team dropped to lie cellar ox tne league, ijooaea lpon as one of the best second asemen in either league the nidden failure of his thro wine irm was a sad blow to Gehrinrer. lis teammates and tbe Uetroiu fans.

How ever he is not taking any chances with it and is making no effort to snap throws indouble plays. It Is possible that if his arm doesn't respond to treatment and training-, Charley will be shifted to the first base position where a good throw ing arm is not so essential. The second of the trio is Hugh Crits, of the Giants. Critx, rated the early part of last season as the best second-sacker in the National League, was suddenly put out of commission by a crippled1 wing. His loss was keenly felt by the Giants and had no little to do with their failure to win the flag. Re ports from the training camp on the Pacific Coast are not condu cive to optimism. Hughie, it is said, is favoring the arm too much. He is using an underhand flip which may tend to complicate his problem. His best bet, according to the reports, is to return to his natural throwing style, otherwise it is almost a certainty that he will not start the season at nis old post. However, with weeks more of training and exhibition games, it is possible that the old wing will Double Bill Appreciated Bv GraDDlin&r And Jones Win Fast Bouts Wrestling is a tough game as any one of the crowd of over 500 who saw Tuesday night's double main event wrestling match at the armory will testify. Henry Jones won from Jimmy Bond in the first match and Robin Reed took Percy Jackson down the line in the second half of the double main event bHL The large crowd was pleased 1 with the double mala event-Idea and saw two of the beet matches staged here all winter. - The -flip of a coin put Jones and Bond on first. The larcest crowd of the season lent the proper atmosphere and the grap plers responded by exerting them selves to their utmost. - Jones knew that his strength did not compare with that of his young opponent so lost no time in preliminaries, but s started working on Bond's wrist from the first. Jones too the first fall in 15 minutes and 40 seconds with a body press following a series of vicious whip wrisUocks which he alternated - from the left to the right.

And here's hoping, foi Critx is a grand ball player. Dusty Cooke, hard-hitting Yan kee outfielder, is the third of th "bad arm triumvirate. Cooke's right shoulder was injured early last season when he fell in Wash ingtoikj X-ray photos showed a serious, condition and there fol lowed a long seige of plaster casts and trick braces. Toward the end of the ! season he returned to the Yankees but found that his throw ing arm was practically useless. It was weeks before he cenld throw with anything like his old power and speed. To give him a chance to use1 the arm in regular play Manager McCarthy sent him to the Newark Bears. He came back to the Yanks and was fighting his way back to his regular berth in the outfield when a new trouble developed in his shoulder. And it is this latest development which threatens to cut short his major league career. For unless he can get his! arm back into shape it is almost a certainty that a trade is in the offing. A bad arm certainly is a "bad break") for a ball player. OwrifhC IMS. Kmc hm Byadtata. bk Fans: Reed onds.! Jones took the final fall In 14 I minutes, with a flying head scis sors.
