Johnnie Rizzo To
Throw Ball Across
Houston Channe
Houston, March 18.—The ques-
tion which Buff fans are scratching
thsir heads about these days
whether the husky Italian outfield
er, John Risso, can fling a base
ball aeross the ship ehannel here.
This perplexing matter came up
a few days ago when Walter John-
son, former star moundsman of the
Washington Senators, hurled a sil-
ver dollar across the Rappahannock
river nt Fredericksburg, Virginia,
a distance of 272 feet.
In a recent club house discus-
sion Riszo declared before his team-
mates he could make a piker out of
Johnson by hurling a ball across
the channel. Now the Buff'players
are asking Risso when he is going
to prove his words.
United States engineers report
the width of the channel varies from
250 to 400 foot. It is impossible,
of course, for anyone to hurl a ball
this latter distance, however, Rizzo
will likely attempt to throw about
300 feet. A suitable apot for the
Buff atar to try out his arm will
be selected soon and the date of the
exhibition will be announced later.
Another brilliant Buff player,
shortstop Johnny Keane, followed
Rizzo’s bragging by declaring that
there was not a player on the squad
who could hurl a ball over right
field fence from home plate. This
distance is 326 feet. As yet no one
has taken up the shortstop on hia
offer.
Although the Buffs have settled
down to spring training in con-
templation of their headline exhibi-
tion game with the St. Louis Cardi-
nals here Sunday afternoon, April
6, the players are looking forward
to see Rizzo test his arm.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gillespie
were Houston visitors Tuesday.
Mr. and Mrs. John Runkle made
a business trip to Kansas the first
of the week.
Mrs. Josephine Pretzel returned
to her home at Chapman’s Ranch
Sunday after a visit here with her
brothers Messrs. Phil and Will Hill.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our apprecia-
tion to our neighbors and friends,
who were so kind and thoughtful
of us during our recent bereavment
in the death of our beloved mother
and grandmother, Mrs. M. Jessie
Noble. Especially do we thank those
who sent such beautiful floral of-
ferings and words of sympathy.
