Hayes Now
Iron Man

Philadelphia, May 31-AP-The
iron men of baseball will please
move over and make room for a
character built of armor plate.
When frankie Hayes of the Ath-
letics caught his second double
header and fifth game in three
days yesterday. it was just in the
days work. The sturdy backstop
has missed only one innings play
since the start OF the season six
weeks ago.
Topping off his amazing perform
ance, durable Frank is tied for lead
ership of the American League in
runs batted in. with 26, and in
home runs, with six.
In addition, he has scored II
runs himself. so he has figured in
more than one-third of the AS sea.
son production of III. Two of his
home runs came with the bases
loaded, and while his batting aver
age is only around .230. his "a hits
have included ii that went for
extra bases.
The one time he left the game
was after he had made an import
ant hit and pinch-runner was
sent in. He dropped the mask on
another occasion to fill In at first
base for two innings.
Now, some claim a catcher works
harder than a pitcher, who gets
four days of rest between games.
and it's a question how long Hayes
can go without, injury or exhaus-
ton.
But there's little doubt that Con.
ME Mack made the trade Of the
year when he took Hayes from
the st. Louis Browns last winter
in exchange for a couple of rockies
from Elmira - Outf1elder Barney
Lutz and Pitcher Sam Zoldak.
