LAWRY GIVES MUCH PROMISE

Manager Connie Mack Expects Youngster to Eventually Develop Into Second Collins. Little is heard of a youngster picked up by Connie Mack last year of the name of Lawry. He joined the club in June, but got away to a slow start because of an injured leg, breaking into the lineup at stated intervals. Lawry looks too slight of stature to stand the strain of the majors, yet we have Connie Mack’s word for it that Lawry has great promise and may eventually develop into a second Eddie Collins.
