I k v r ( ''' - I I George "Duffy" Lewis, former left fielder for the Boston Red Sox, who gained considerable fame for his great batting in the two world series against the Thillies and the Brooklyn Nationals, is In Uncle Sam's service. His home runs were the talk of the country and Duffy's big black bat was always slamming them out during the world's series days. No pitcher either on the Phillies or the Dodgers would trust Duffy at the plate and did his best to foil him. It wasn't possible to hold Duffy down, and he held the highest batting bat-ting average on the club. Lewis, like many other big leaguers, Is now In the service, and this photo shows him in his uniform of a chief petty officer. He Is stationed at Mare Island, Cal. Lewis has flayed baseball with the naval teams at Mal-e Island, and has taken hold of the men and is lending his knowledge to building a strong team at the station. |
