equipment that goes to make the difference be tween just an ordinary chukker and a winning pitcher good con arol a fast ball that Is alive and a fine assortment of hooks and curves he hits tool all pitchers like to think of themselves as great hitters but bus is a rarity in his class cause he can really pound that nugget at this writing harwood is sport ing a very respectable BA his size is deceptive to the power be hind his drives and its it s not indre quent for bus to bang out those extra base knocks harwood divides the mound chores with snag herd and tommy steele and among them they have kept chemicals record un blemish ed and with just two games re daining in the first half of play they have led to at least a tie for the first half championship hesseling Hessel mg handles harwood handling the slants of bus har wood is big bob hesseling Hessel mg who is one of the best receivers in the league hesseling Hessel mg is a newcomer to these parts but an old timer in the ranks

guard during his high school days in ohio but baseball was his game and the big league his goal hesseling has been scouted by such stand out ivory hunters as george and joe mcdemott and was in the st louis cardinal chain where he was a catcher for the class C marion ohio cards in 1940 and 41 and was headed up the ladder when he suffered a bro ken arm that spelled finis to his ambitions an ideal backstop A big man hesseling is the hus aling type of a player and a smart heady handler of his pitchers in the dry hot weather of dugway and deseret his arm has regained its life and he owns one of the best throwing arms in the league and to add to the claim that he is one of top catchers in the lea gue hesseling is a very dangerous man with a bat in his hands in twelve games hesseling Hessel mg
