AS a relief hurler "Brax" was a
humdinger. Only one bloke, Bob
Grove, was more effective on the

QUESTION of Braxton. That's how he
happens to'be wearing a Washington

Braxton's chief stock in trade is
change OF pace coupled with remark
able control. He has plenty Of speed,
but he doesn't keep shooting 1t. He
has a fairish hook, but he uses 1t
with judgment. He has a screw ball,
a sort Of haIf-speed delivery, that

deadly efficiency.

speed stuff and you have Garland

others. Thomas drifted back to the
