JACK LAPP A STAR CATCHER

Considered by Connie Mack as One of Very Best Backstops in the American League Circuit. Jack Lapp, catcher with the Athletics, may be a bit shy on hair but according to Connie Mack what he lacks on the outside of his head in the way of hirsute adornment is made up by the way gray matter is crowded into the Inside. Mack recently came out with a statement that Lapp is one of the very best catchers in the business. Per-

haps he thought to salve Jack’s feelings, for he could not be blamed if he nursed a notion that he Bad been slighted, with all the credit for the Athletics’ good work going to a youngster like Schang. 1 __ _
