He plays foot- ball and baseball and a better first baseman is yet to be seen in school. When it comes to batting he also takes part in this, lending a hand very ably, and usually boosting the score of the home team slightly. Drop us a line from Hollywood when you arrive, John.

When the gridiron battles were over, he took to the squared circle and showed that he could fight by himself as well as with ten other men. His ready smile and easy-going disposition has won him a host of friends.
