BY BILLY EVANS.
TAMPA. Fla" March 24.-—In the
1925 world series between Washing~
ton and Pittsburgh, Joe Harris was
the outstanding batting star.
Inserted into the lineup at the last
minute in place of Earl MeNeely, in
order to get more batting power.
Harris. with his terrifilc as well as
timely hitting, was the hero of the
event. even though Washington suf-
fered defeat.
The peculiar stance of Harris at
the plate was much Icommented on
during the series. He swung from
a rather flat—footed position and
there was a. decided crouch to the
body.
It didn't seem possible that a. bats.
man with such an unorthodox style
could get the power into his drives
that Harris did.
There is an interesting story back
of the crouch Harris assumes at the
bat and it dates back to the World
War,
In the Argonne campaign Harris
suffered a serious injury that result-
ed in the left side of his face being
so badly turn that for a time his
life was despaired of and. when he.
finally was able to leave the hue-
pital. ho bore many scars of the bat-
tlo.
Unable to get the proper medical
attention at the time, the wound. on

Due ,to the fact that the left eye
it necessitated that Harris take an
unusual stones at the plate to right
the defect.
Recently Harris underwent a piss-
tic surgery operation that has prac-
tically restored the check to normal.
“My left and right checks are
again twine.” is the way Harris lets
[you know‘ that the operation has
been a success.
The eye has been straightened the
skin that protuded our the eye has

Curiously. too. the pulling power

ways, can log stiffness and great

While the operation has restored

bio as to how it will affect his bat-

Will it be necessary for him to

so, will his batting suffer?

Trainer Mike Martin, in explaining
stuff. said it was due to the four he
has of roiuJuriug the arm. He
doesn't seem to be able to realize
that there is nothing wrong, so in-
stead of pitching free. he uses a
cramped style that keeps him from
getting anything on the boil.
"it is just like learning all over
again for Marberry and he won't
strike until he gels enough confl-
denco in his recovery to cut loose."
Unqucstionnbiy no club in the
American League needs a pitcher of
the lilorborry typo more than the
Senators. for Washington club's vet-
eran staff is prone to wobble late in
the game.
Pitchers like Johson. Rcuthor,
Covolcskic and Bush often find the
I1lnc.inning route a trifle too long.
A pitcher like Marborry. able to
stop in practically every day and
hold a one-run lead for a couple of
innings. is Just about the ball club.
Last season he saved 15 or 20 such
ball games.
