One of the smartest pitchers in the big leagues. Has exceptional control and knows the weaknesses of the batters. A six-footer, but weighs less than 170 pounds. Has plenty of stuff, though, when he needs it. Has been a big league regular almost continuously since he joined the Athletics in 1912. Traded to Boston in 1915 and to New York in 1923. Pitched in five world's series. Last year won nine games and lost five. Lives at Kennett Square, Pa. Married. Loves to hunt. Although a left-handed pitcher, bats from either side of the plate.
