[quoting Fred Goldsmith] Almost every season I was troubled with a sore arm, but when the warm weather came, I was always able to work the soreness out. Then the trouble was in the elbow or between the elbow and shoulder. One season the soreness went to my shoulder, and from that time on my pitching days were over. I have tried every remedy possible, but nothing seemed to do my arms any good. I even went to the heroic method of having my shoulder blistered like they treat a horse's leg, but even that proved unavailing. I am convinced that nothing will do a lame shoulder any good. The sensation is a peculiar one. I can go out and pitch for a short time as well as I ever did. Then my arm commences to lose its power, and after pitching half an hour it falls perfectly powerless at my side. I would not be able to pitch a full game.
