Connie Mack has but a one to FIVE
chance OF sending a port-sder to
the mound.
Ed Rommel. Scott Perry. Bryan
Harris. Rollie Naylor and Bob Hasty
all put 'em over from the right
shoulder
Roy Moore alone has a southpaw
heave.
Hence the Athletic leader is keep
ing an eagle eye on a couple OF
southpaw rockies who are training
with his crew.
And these two rookies-John Slap
pey and Fred Heimach--are paying
strict attention TO Roy Moore's hurl-
ing. Moore seems certain TO land.
Slappey and Heimach are anxious to
join him in the port-side hurling
list.
Their workouts thus far have put
a smile on Mack's face. Look
mighty good" says he.
And II there are any tricks OF the
southpaw trade that they haven't
wised up 20 yet, Moore is on hand
TO tip 'em on.
Slappey. who has never played
professional ball, throws a speedy,
sharp curve. He's been a
star in the semi-pro ranks.
Heimach was purchased from
Raleigh OF the North Carolina
