BODIE LOSES EXCESS FLESH

Hard Work in Shipyard at Weehawken Causes Yankee Outfielder to Reduce Weight. Ping Bodie, Yankee outfielder, will never regret the work he did during the last few months in the Tietgen & Lank shipyard, in Weehawken. By

toiling from eight to twelve hours a day in the hold of a vessel the once rotund Italian was enabled to dispose of more than 15 pounds Of excess flesh. Ping hopes, therefore, to be faster than ever next year. He now is concerned mainly in preventing a reaccumulation of fat, especially in the region of the neck. — —~'
