TOM HENRICH ! UNDERRATED Yanks’ Right Fielder Dangerous Long Distance Hitter Editor's note: Following l» the | fourth of a series on the American I | leagttr- champion Yankee*.> By George Kirksey. ICP Staff Correspondent l New York. Sept 18. tl'Pt - Tommy Henrich, the Yatike.-s’ right fielder. >e the answer to a I manager's prayer. He's easy to j handle, tends strictly to business. | always hustling and is willing to l i ri*k hie neck, if necessary, to win I a hall game Henrich’s value to the Yankees ; neve rhas been appreciated fully iby the pitblic-at-large and many j persons tab him as ihe most underI rated ball player in the American league. With 30 home runs, only | Ted Williams of the Red Sox and I | his teammate Charlie Kellar are | lab-ad of him in this vital de|»artment. He's a fine outfielder and . I nobody has a better throwing arm | ' for a< <-itra< y or po**r. His main drawback is a weak-> news against southpaw pitching ' which he Is gradually curing by , playing regularly If he ever learns to hit southpaws like he does right- I handers. H-nrlch will be one of | the terror hitters of the league Kveu now almost every other one of hi* hits is for extra Ims-s. No longer are American league pitchers fooled by Henrich's .270 batting average. All things considered it's probably the most dangerous .270 average In the majors. Henrich has the beat disposition , of all the players on a Yankee , team which Is made up of evenI tempered athl-tes. He Is popular with everybody and hae a kind word for all. Just what sort of a guy he Is can lie appreciated by the fact that George Selkirk, the fellow he heat out of a job. Is one of hto biggest boosters. The pink-cheeked Massilon.
