PHILADELPHIA. - Gosh only
knows where the Phillies would be
If it wasn't for ICY" Williams.
One hundred and eighty pounds,
six feet two inches, fleet foot. keen
eyes. and a regular guy.
It's Williams timely hitting that
has kept the Phillies from dropping
completely out of the bottom.
He is always there; always de-
bendable-that consistency that
counts for any club.
Errors he makes, surely, but they
are errors of effort and o~ver-eager-
ness. 1t is his desire to win that
makes him go far off his path to
snipe a seemingly impossible swat.
Williams started in the outfield
and has stayed there. Born in Wad-
and, Ind, where he first played. Bats
and throws left handed.
The Phillies acquired him In a
trade with the Chicago Cubs, for Pas
kert, in 1912. He showed his worth
by being right up among the boys
with 164 hits for an average of 1928.
Last year he hit 1872 times for a
total of 293 bases. more than n
player except Hornsby. who was
leading the league. He committed
II errors on the field.
Fred Williams is his right mont
ker. He studied architecture at
Notre Dame and later bought a farm
where he developed a new kind OF
potato.
