He Calls Bill Owen Sound And Brimmie Youth Joined Best Of Lot Pros Early Idolized Frankie Strange Incident When Playing In Once Pitted Him Amateur Ranks Against Own Club DETROIT, Mich.— Sometime if you happen to be in the neighborhood of the Olympia, or sauntering down Grand River Avenue, in Detroit, you may see a tall good-looking youth wearing a pair of Cowboy boots.
