FEET TROUBLED ART FROMME

When Former Giant Pitcher Began to Slip McGraw Recommended lodine on Hi* Neck. When Art Fromme was sent to the Giants by Cincinnati he had some sort of trouble with his feet. They became yellow and calloused, and every day, before going out on the diamond, Fromme would liberally paint his pedals with iodine. McGraw was after the lead of the league. He was up against it for pitchers, and as Fromme looked good in warming up, he asked Art what he thought of working that game. “Me? Why, say, I’ll hold these guys to two hits today,” replied Fromme.

The Giants were opposing the Pirates. Fromme went well for two innings and then~began to slip. He issued two walks and struck a fellow, filling the bases. Then Wagner stepped to the plate and hit the first ball for a two-sacker. McGraw rushed frantically to the side lines and motioned Art to leave. As Fromme reached the bench McGraw turned sarcastically to him and remarked: , “So you paint your feet to keep them from getting yellow, do you? Say, go in the clubhouse and paint a |lng of iodine around your neck."
