But it’s the condition and the' legs—a regular pitcher has three or four days between games to do some running and get his legs into condition. When they may use ’every day, you don’t get a chance to do your running.”] I \ ■ _ ; i ‘ 1 •\ ! ——: |j .if:, 11 !*" : 4DENTON, Fla., M^rch 4 Boston Brave pitch*!- Jimr itill is a holdout (Ark., home d< orteii $26,000 offer, andtkl Bluff, Ark., home despite T irigljr Sain-tstill is p'holdout;all Ids Pi!"I JKf a 'mj handed flinger, a 20-ganii: winnid last year, is the only mlajo: holdoji on the dub. ; , 11 ★ CIUDAD TRUJILLO, l|> R.
