Text	[from an interview of Jim Keenan] ...I am opposed to gymnasium practice. I believe work of that kind does more harm than good. The muscles used on the ball field are not brought into play in a gymnasium. Why, you can train hard for two months in a gym and then play a game of ball and you will be just as sore after the game as if you had not trained a moment. Hand-ball is the right sort of training. In that game you are continually stooping, jumping to one side, running, throwing, in fact using every muscle and performing every movement used in a game of ball. If I could have secured a place in the West End, I would have put up a fine hand ball court. The man that owned it wanted too much rent and I had to give it up.
