Size May Be a Handicap
By BURNLEY
Giants in other fields of sport
haven't fared so well lately. The
most publicized mammoth of recent
times, Primo Camera, was shoved
into the exploded phenom class by
Max Baer and Joe Louis, both of
whom were some 60 or 70 pounds
lighter than the Gargantuan
Preem.
The massive Italian is still a
pretty fair fighter, but the myth
that his size and strength made him
invincible is forever exploded if it
was ever believed by anyone.
Another setback for the big boys
was recorded recently when the
mastodonic Jack Torrance, shot-

The group discussed but took no
action on a plan whereby rental

the use of Sweetland field could
be applied on permanent Improve

cluding a new grandstand to be
erected oa the south side of the
field. A committee was appointed
to investigate the plan.
Player contracts were distrib

"Baby Jack" is certainly "more" of

boards. They have lots of spring,
as they should have, making a di
rect hit almost essential for a
score. The bounce they give to a
ball that hits on the rim also
gives the tall boys less advantage

shorties can get their mitts on it.
