George was one of three Mariners hurlers to finish in the top five in the American League in Walks plus Hits divided by Innings Pitched (WHIP), 1.07.
All around utility man with the New York Giants. Can play practically any infield position. Was born in Angleton, Texas, in 1905 and began his professional career with Ardmore, Okla., at the age of 18. Throws right-handed, but bats either way. Five feet, nine and one-half inches tall, 150 pounds. First big league tryout with the Braves in 1929. Sent to the minors the next season. The Giants bought him last winter from Dallas, Tex., where he hit .298 in 149 games, stole 42 bases and starred as a second baseman.
Badly wounded in torpedoing of the "Helena" during war, doctors thought he might never walk again, much less pitch. However, last season with World Champion Indians, he won 20, lost 7 and led league in ERA with 2.43, and his won-lost percentage of 741 was second high. His twentieth win was play-off game against Red Sox which won pennant for Cleveland. He was Indians' World Series hero.
