and catch a ball bat and run Virtually all of them have two arms and two legs If they hardly expect them to attempt a game that de mands running and throwing But there is one lad who has been playing in the Council Bluffs church softball league all summer who has only one leg He is Earl Corbin 23 year old son of Mr Mrs Richard Corbin of 1631 Eighth avenue He pitched for nacle team Earl lost his accident when months old a thing I do that I can think of he quipped while chatting about softball the ojher night at the church league1 parlf on North Eighth street Earl is a pretty good pitcher He has an artificial leg that he wears when he works but he discards it when competing In athletics can ger around faster with out he explains been going this way so A regular wooden crutch is his equipment on the softball field Describing the notion used in pitching a softball is a tough job tougher than it is for Earl to demonstrate it But you might say that he rocks back on his good right leg fires the ball as he goes through a forward mo tion and his' follow through puts him off the ground balanced on a deftly handled crutch Then her Bettles gracefully back to a nor tmal standing position He hand les the crutch almost as expertly as a real limb Softball his only accom plishment He plays basketball wrestles plays football informal ly the guys" You can take It from Tee ace gridder of last 'year Bill Rollison that Earl can pass expertly and can tack le His brother Del still an ath lete at Tee Jay admits that Earl is a rough tackler too "He just leaves that artificial aid ana pounces on Earl also plays baseball and volleyball rides a bike owns and drives his own car like he says a thing I We saw him hop over a fence believe it or not Earl wears his artificial limb to work He has to stand most of the day working on an assembly line for a general woodworking plant Besides his brother Del Tee Jay football and basketball ace Earl has two sisters Barbara and Mildred
