Easy for Hank

Hank SEVERED, star catcher Of
the st. Louis Browns. holds two
unusual records. One relates to
catching foul flies. the other to
throwing out base-runners.
Foul flies are the bane Of every
catcher. Weakness in going
after fouls is a fault of a ma
jority Of big league receivers.
During his entire major league
career SEVERED has missed only
one foul ball. That Is a most re-
markable and unusual perform
anCe.
Hts record OF throwing on.
forty one men out Of forty-three
who tried TO steal on him In con
secutive games is equally out OF
the ordinary.
