Show Accident to Yankee Is Elias Funk's Only Hope For three years Elias Funk, knowD to his ball associates as "Liza," has been waiting for something to happen to one of the regular or reserve Yankee Yan-kee outfielders. This was his third year in the Yankee Yan-kee training camp. Since the Ruth-Meusel-Comhs triumvirate is still going go-ing strong, Funk has had to concentrate concen-trate on beating out Cedric Durst or Ben Paschal for one of the reserve posts. Elias batted .304 for St. Paul in the American association last year. He throws and bats left handed, is twenty-three years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 1G5 pounds and makes his home in Oklahoma City. |
