John "Blondy" Ryan, one of Lynn's better contributions to professional baseball, is shown in a hospital bed at Rochester, N. Y. The breaks went against Blondy fast, first being sent to the minors by the New York Giants and then breaking his leg. The nurse is Georgiana Athey, but if Ryan is as fast in thought as in the past he'll probably be calling her "Athey baby."
