with the Yankees has doomed up in the
person of Tim Hendryx.
Hendrix tried out here with the
Yanks a year ago. but he did not get
beyond the training camp as a Yank.
He was shunted to the Richmond club
Of the International league, this SEN
tence being due to the fact that he was
slow OF foot in the outfieId and not
fast on the bases. He reported so
many pounds above real playing weight
that he offered no real opposition 10
such players as Maisel. Magee. Gil
hOOley and High
In the fall he was recalled after in
juries had shot the Yankee cast to
pieces, and even then after a season
in the minors a bulging waist line led
to the belief that his weight was
against his ever making a long So
JOurn in the majors
That idea no longer exists Hendryx
reported here last Saturday weighing
about 20 pounds less than he weighed
a year ago. rom the standpoint Of
condition and trim build the New Or
leans outfielder ranks second to none
in the Yank camp today. He skips
around fast even at this stage Of the
preliminary season and in a few days
Magee and High = i'll realize what Gil
hOOley and Maisel like others now in
camp have already discovered. Hendryx
will surely make a real fight for
regular birth
